Rename User Support

On many gaming forums, the general discussion is where a person asks a question like "How do I get the Anti-Matter Whip?" or "How does the banking system work?"

Typically, on those same sites, the "Support" section is for reporting glitches, errors, and other such things, not for asking for help.

So it's quite understandable that some people are posting help-me topics in General Discussion (I almost did myself when I first came here).

That said, I propose that the User Support section be renamed the "Help Me / User Support" section.

I know that there is already a description as to what each section is for, but the mis-posted topics are evidence that this may not be enough.

Nate, where is the description of what the forums are for? I don't think I saw that.

Do you mean the single line description under the forum name on the main menu?

If that is what you meant ... well those descriptions seem to leave a lot to the imagination about what a person might want to post in each area.

"User Support
Got a problem? Your fellow users (and occassionally a Developer) will help you!"

Seems pretty clear to me.


While they're at it, it wouldn't hurt to rename "Feature Requests" to "Suggestions / Feature Requests" since "Suggestions" is what these types of areas are typically called on other game forums.

I think that we understand the suggested uses for the areas a bit differently.
Oh well..

I still like you. Happy playing and posting
