question to the mods about fantastic posts.

oops! · Mar 18, 2008

hey mods.

there has been some super work done on these forums.....

this is in reguards to technical information......

like prop theroy....

hp and rpm needed......for x speed......

i just searched for 3 hours....lucklly wca tim had it pegged.

45 auto posted it.....i thought it was don

it seems such a shame to see these posts get buried in the archives.....

unless you know the key words...youll never find them........

is there a chance we can vote on some threads....(containing valuable techinical information.....not discussion)....to send them to a special area?

like faq's or one simmelar?

cheers

It's now in the FAQ forum.

Re: question to the mods about fantastic posts.

Something I've seen on other (large) boards where good stuff can get buried... Posters (and even moderators) can add keywords to their post to make them more searchable. For example, if this were a fantastic post about prop theory, a moderator might ask the original poster to append some keywords or do it himself. Like this...

Keywords: "prop theory", pitch

I remember an anchor post (anchors love water ...) that would be a great sticky!

Re: question to the mods about fantastic posts.

all of our FAQ's have come from the members post. when we see good things, we try to get them expanded. some members have put a lot of work into them, when we request they refine their finding.

Re: question to the mods about fantastic posts.

I think all the mods recognise that I have respect for them despite me poking some fun once in a while . . . With that said, shouldn't 45 Auto's username get some mention/reference/credit in/for that FAQ? I am not suggesting that anything was done on purpose, but isn't there a way to get that to look like a 45A post as opposed to someone else? I am sure it was a simple C & P, but I recall seeing others names on other FAQs . . .

Re: question to the mods about fantastic posts.

unfortnately, FAQ is a read only forum, because in the past people were posting questions and unrelated items in it. the mods, admin, are the only ones who can post there. if you see a post, that warrants to be a faq, PM on of the mods with it. then the Mod team will look at it, approve it or request the poster to make changes, or elaborate more on it. it may have our name on it, as poster, but will always have the credit to the original writer.

Gary's seafoam faq, started with his project post, I requested he elaborant on it. and then several others i requested, that i could add there material to the faq.

iwombat's proper starting, and tale tell faq, stemmed from a question.

you guys put it together, if it is worthy of a faq, or a sticky, it will be one.

sticky's are actually viewed more than a faq.

that is a shame.

i know simple questions make the forums move.....too bad after a new sign up, they wern't directed to the faq page...
