READ BEFORE POSTING! (Master List, and sub forum rules)

Post by Muffinman » 18 Feb 2006 00:26

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE YOU POST!!!
OFFICIAL RULES FOR 'TRICK TIPS' FORUM:



:idea: Below is a master list of all current threads for both posting and requesting help and advice for a single
trick, set, or other trick element. Unless a topic for the trick you wish to post about does not exist, please
restrict your posting to already existing threads.

:idea: If a thread does not exist for the trick you have a question about, or wish to give advice for, please
create your topic, topic 'subject', and Job's Notation in accordance to the organization of the rest of the
forum.
(Please specify the 'subject' with the technical name of the trick, and the non-technical name (if
applicable), (and video if possible!) in parenthesis.) Please PM a mod if you start a new thread, so that it
can be added to the master list.

:idea: Please try to keep this forum as organized as possible -- I spent hooouuurss cleaning it up and it's for
everyone's benefit!
:idea: If you have further suggestions, questions, or comments (a trick under the wrong add category? bad
Job's? -- my bad.) for this forum, and the organization thereof, please reply to this thread, or send a mod a PM. If
in doubt create a thread and PM a mod -- the worst that will happen is that it will be renamed or merged with another thread.

Erik, I really like that idea and I think it could help alot of players.

What if we just had a thread for like each concept (eg. spinning, ducking, ect) so that questions and tips could just be put in those?

In addition to the moves you mean? That would be good!

Ya, in addition to the moves.
Like have a thread for each different move and also one for just each different concept.

Also, I'd be willing to help out with this.

As I said in the mod forum, I think it's a great idea.

I think it would be best to limit it to components rather than specific tricks. People can give tips for specific tricks with in the topic for the relevant component. This may mean that there would be some overlapping of tips I guess but I think generally the right tips would be in the right place - for example if you wanted help on blurry drifter presumably the tips would be under drifter rather than stepping since hitting the drifter after the stepping set is the hard part.

So any move ending with drifter would be covered in the drifter topic - smoke, blurry drifter, high plains drifter, vortex etc. - I don't think it would be neccessary to have tips for each trick because there would be too many topics that way.

i think this is a great idea! :D
I think that you should separate it into 2 topics basically, uptime and downtime.

This way, only sets would be covered in one part (pixie, fairy,atomic, etc.), and downtime components such as legover, mirage, butterfly, drifter etc. would be in another part.

By doing this it would be alot more organized, and say someone was having a hard time with blurry drifter, they would look up stepping set if that was the problem, or drifter if that is the problem.

K, great feedback!
I agree that both of your ideas would be useful, and I guess they go hand-in-hand, as Troy's just expands on Jeremy's (unless I misinterpretted Jeremy's).

The problem I find with limiting it to JUST this is that it will just become a mess again as it is now -- you will look in the drifter section and find sooo many tips and maybe NOTHING on the specific move you wanted, and yet will have possible read PAGES AND PAGES to no avail.

I suggest that we impliment Troyson's idea IN ADDITION to threads for EVERY SINGLE MOVE. There are a lot of components so stickies may not work to separate from ALL MOVE THREADS, but there must be a way. Then there can be a master list so that it doesn't matter if all of the move threads fall into oblivion and cannot be found, because that is what the master list is for.


Do I make sense?
I think BOTH is great. The purpose I had in mind was to have every move as its own thread and this other idea would be an added bonus which will supply even more information and answer more specific (or less specific) questions.



EDIT: Or maybe we can sticky the "fundamental" downtime components, OR a sets list... I don't know. Too much sticky is bad. We could just have a master list for sets and downtime moves (which would also double as some individual move threads). Then we could add stuff as it comes up (like if someone wants a thread for symposium, or example. We could have a symposium thread, and add it to "concepts" under the master list.

It sounds complicated, but I guess I just want it to be perfect -- just imagine how great it would be to have a simple auto-maintained forum that operates just like an encyclopedia/how-to of tricks!!

People just need to learn to search, stickying 100 threads will not prevent newbies to post new ones.

Just edit the thread topics that have the best tips so far so that they can be found easily.

I'm not suggesting we have 100 stickies; I agree with you and suggested the opposite -- an easy way of diong the same thing without so many stickies (a master list!)

And with the READ BEFORE POSTING RULES, no newbies will post before looking for the trick in the master list. The search function on this forum is useless -- seriously; it doesn't work. And this is why I posted an announcement about this before just going ahead and doing it, because it will change the way the forum operates the the rules that govern posting within it. I need people to want this before I go and change the whole forum...

So anyone who is posting in this forum should speak up if they are against the idea, because with enough votes maybe it will change in a way that you don't like...

Making a big list with links sounds good.
That's why I've been making those trick tip videos in just one thread because I'm against posting new threads.

I totally agree. That's why it's annoying when people say 'Use the search feature!!' to noobs. It does work sometimes, but it's definitely not clutch, especially if you're a new member trying to find key information.

I'm still not sure how your concept will work, but I think it's an awesome idea having trick tips categorized alphabetically.

*I'm not sure if this was the original idea because I didn't read all the posts. :oops:*

How about one sticky topic with links (in alphabetical order) to the "trick help" topics? (Compare with the Move Nickname List.)

I agree that it's useless to have many topics for same tricks, Chan's idea is good.

Bump-bump. It looks like everyone who is viewing this topic likes the idea. Just to make sure, I will wait until another 5 votes (should be easy if enough people want it) before I start. If it works out I'd love to organize the health section too (waaay too many threads on knee problems.... I have no idea which to look at..) ...


EDIT: One more vote until 20 (the "5 more")

I think this is a great idea and agree there should be subforums for components

maybe symp and pdx should be grouped together

what do you do about spinning & ducking moves?

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT: READ ME NOW!!!!

Post by Muffinman » 23 Feb 2006 09:06

I have finally completed organization of this forum after, like, 6+ hours straight of work. I've noticed already as I've been working on it that people have continued posting in old threads. I have now changed every single thread in the forum, but I hope that these multiple messages will point you to the OFFICIAL RULES, which are now vital to the operation of this forum. Please read the rules and respect the work that went into this.

Awesome work Erik.

There's a lot of trick videos online, like the ones that Johnny made. Maybe you should add a video section on the list?
