Request section.

Making a suggesting from this post here Click

I rather like the idea of "tiding up" the request section, I know we have the index of requested uploads and the five star rating system, but I really do think it would be a benafit if it was "cleaned" up a bit. If it is to much work for the mods to do, maybe a few forum members would be willing to help. I certainly do not mind helping because I know it is one hell of a large job!

Could I also suggest a tidy up of the CG download section two I may need to explain my meaning further, if you give me a little time, I will show you what a mean

Thank you!

I like the idea, too ... not sure how it would be implemented. Sometimes an anime I upload to or download from is in the "Request" section, and sometimes in the "Everything Else" section. Really not sure how that could be rectified...

I know, I was wondering the same when I posted this and was hoping people would have some ideas...I will rattle my brains and see if I can suggest anything

*poke poke* I know its me making the suggestion and I'm "super good" at making people dislike my suggestions and ideas, but how about cleaning up this section?

I tried this in the doujinshi download section, so it works:

Go through the section yourself. Through every single thread. Keep a list of the threads that are fine, the ones that need changed (what needs changed in each one), and the ones that are duplicates (and could be merged), etc. Start at the first post in that section and work your way to the newest posts. Then send the complete "raked" list to the moderator of that section. It could be a while before they have a chance to use your list, but it'll be a good guide for them to use - so they don't have to go through every single old thread in addition to monitoring new daily posts.

Even if you don't make it all the way through all the threads, anything you can do will help. And it'll give you a good idea of exactly how much work it entails - there's no way a single mod could handle the clean up on top of daily moderation. If you can get a few people to help you make your list, that's even better.

Thanks I will try that!

I also think that all download section could benefit from a clean up as I said in another thread, but I'm looking particularly at the Anime Request vs. Everything Else. It seems like a lot of anime get posted in the "Anime Request" section without there ever being a request for them Shouldn't all those go in the "Everything Else" section? I think it's gotten to a point where people aren't even sure where to post the anime they want to share. It's not really that big a deal but it does get confusing and messy imo. If it doesn't matter where you post it then (as is my impression), shouldn't those 2 sections be merged into one? I dunno it just feels like the "Everything Else" section doesn't get much activity because of that and since a good half of all threads in the Anime Request should be there, well, *shrugs*
Since most other stuff only have one thread for requests and reuploads, I guess I'm wondering why it isn't the same for the normal anime section instead of it being split in 2 sub-forums.

Oh and, people very very rarely rates their thread 5 stars even when the request is filled either in that section anyway so that's also kind of pointless.

Agreed ~ "Anime Request" IMHO should be for requests and single-episode request fulfillments. If someone asks for an entire series, then that whole uploaded series should be placed in "Everything Else."

If mods like, we forumers would be happy to go and report all posts in "Anime Request" that should be moved to "Everything Else."

Yes, I'm more then happy, to go though and check all the treads in a week or two when I have free time, and make a list of treads to be marged or moved, to help tidy it up if the mods agree. I think a few other members as they have already said, would help aid this clean up.

I already started rating some of the the for filled requests five stars, to help, I will try and do the rest (again in a week or two, when I have time) that should make things a lot easyer.

Haven't heard from any mods or admins on this ... I assume that means it is okay for us to go and report threads in the "Anime Requests" section that need to be moved to "Everything Else." I'm going to start doing that right now.
