Okay, I was thinking maybe there should be a pinned topic in Feedback where people could post topics that should be closed and haven't been closed yet.
Why? Because I feel like I'm wasting my time actually searching for similar topics and posting them on ones that should be closed. On a lot of occasions, I'll post it there and it won't ever be closed. Why waste my time trying to tidy up cB when I really have no power? So... everyone on cB, mod or not can contribute by posting up threads that should be closed on this one topic. That way people won't feel like they're wasting their time searching. To prove my point, here's a list of topics waiting to be closed: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...0entry1513576 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=55414&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=67131&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=73585&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=18040&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...topic=40668&hl= http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...topic=8477&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=26390&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...9&hl=first+kiss http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=71569&st=0 http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...topic=65905&hl= http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...topic=65840&hl= http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...opic=33604&st=0 Also... when mods have nothing better to do, they can just check and see if there are any topics needing to be closed and they can just go close them. There's nothing to lose... |

^ It's no bother, really. You're supposed to do that. :] It's better than having 20 people post "this should be closed" in the thread itself. That doesn't help us find it.

That doesn't help us find it. Funny you should mention that. I've been thinking as of late that there should be a way to let moderators know of topics that should be closed (due to being redundant) or moved. I've sometimes been tempted to report them, but I think reporting is supposed to be only used in the case of an offensive topic and the like; furthermore, I seem to recall that reported topics alert every single moderator and seem fairly overkill for a topic that is redundant or misplaced. Perhaps there should be a way to report redundent topics or ones that need to be moved, similar to the reporting system but not as urgent. Or, PM's could just be used, I guess, if that is considered acceptable to all the moderators. |
