These topics are for general discussion. They are usually accompanied by threads in the proper location that have more detail, but are there to get the GENERAL forum members to DISCUSS the topic. Whoever is moving these is doing a terrible job of differentiation as well. At least an explanation would be nice. What do you guys think about these topics being moved? The most irksome part of it for me is that we have mods that have almost 0 interaction with the community (on the forums) apart from weekly updates. Thanks and I hope we can get some answers.

Topics are moved because they fall under other sections on our forums.

That's my point though, they are discussion topics, like this

 

TPG Sportscasting - We Want Your Feedback! 

 

 

 

This is clearly a discussion topic. I don't get why things like that are moved. Thanks for the reply though. It truly means a lot.

It's a discussion about events, so it belongs in community events section.

^this

 

 

Hits the nail right on the top. 

 

The only reason I got told by TPG members to post their event topics in GD is because they want to get attention for their topics. 

This does not justify a wrong placement.

 

 

Well yea, what Tiggs said.

Also, we all could discuss why certain players play solo and flame their team. Even though it is Hawken related (because these players paly Hawken) does not justify the placement in GD. I would consider posting a question like this in Off-Topic.

Actually it's a discussion about a stream. Streaming and Videos it is, then. 

 

-unless, say, this thread should be in community events just because it has "TPG" in the title. At least that one was actually a TPG match, unlike the thread mentioned.

 

That being said, discussion regarding best practices of a channel could also fit in Help and Guides, but realistically its best options are General Discussion or Streaming and Videos. Considering the match shown was just a scrimmage between players, not even TPG teams, and certainly not a TPG "event", Community Events seems like one of the most awkward places to put it.

 

These forum topics. Placement is a tricky thing, eh?

most posters only see 2 forums: General Discussions and Suggestions.

 

If you're gonna move topics to their appropriate forum (which are far less populated) then you should have some sort of link or notifier on the original forum sayin that the topic was moved.  Additionally, if that attitude is going to be had towards putting topics in their specific forum, then have a disclaimer for a couple of weeks urging the userbase to start using the other forums more often (or something that would get the users to check out the other forums).

If a topic was moved from one forum to another, in the original forum it will have an arrow symbol next to it. When clicking on the topic it will redirect you to the moved topic.

Merl makes a good point as does the old nemesis churro ;) just in general discussion there are 7 different tabs then there is the main menu with 13. I ain't got time for all that Felicia just give me general discussion. It's like some corporate monkey went crazy with excel again and cut the data a million times to where it's overload. For example tpg matches, my intent was to check out more and I can always watch the vids but since the alerts have stopped popping up in GD I've lost track of when the matches are and just forget because the phone is keyed to GD. Why wouldn't this be in general discussion? So if someone like me who is actually interested is missing it what about people more casual who don't look outside GD that might otherwise see a post and say "oh, looks interesting". The everything in its place is nice and tidey but not user friendly and certainly not conducive to the curious new player that isn't going to dig through 20 separate forum tabs. Just my opinion.

This thread is an event.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

I'm perfectly happy with moving threads to their more or most appropriate locations, particularly for the TPG threads. I know players who share this sentiment. TPG should not be cast any higher than other tournaments in Hawken, particularly because it represents such a sterile environment non-representative of common Hawken gameplay.

Thank you for your time,

I am... interested in how you came to that conclusion.

just give a TPG/ league  sub forum and be done with it. but threads should never be moved unless asked to be moved. this more or less a common sense thing. people post things in certain threads for a reason generally. stop fixing things that arnt broken. i am with Merl on this subject.  also if any moderator action is taken big or small, needs to be declared and give a reason. its just common courtesy to us.
