So, after tonights game and the ridiculous chaos that ensued, I figured I'd start this idea thread and post some of my thoughts.

_____________________________________________________
Idea 1: Separate the Contests and Chat into two different threads.
    Why:
      Because so many the majority of people in the GGW fan thread are constantly spamming, only posting for a prize, asking questions about the contests, ect., I think it would be nice for those of us who are more interested in the game to be separated. It's not that I don't like the contests, I just think that having them in the same thread makes it very hard to enjoy the game and chat in amongst the other REAL GGW fans, and not the people who come in from the announcement from the allure of millions of gold.


Idea 2: Announce the score at the beginning of each Inning
    Why:
      During tonights game I didn't know the score. Honestly, I still don't. I think some one said it was 13-2. I love the fact that Sisky and Zero try and give a shout out to every single person, but again.... I'm a GGW fan, and being in the thread myself, I can already see everyone's usernames... I thought the point of the webcast was so those of us who can't make it could still watch the game? Sometimes it's hard to follow what's going on since the camera has a limited view, and of course the lag issues that I know you guys can't really do anything about.

_____________________________________________________

If anyone else has some ideas or something I guess just post here the idea and why you think it's a good idea. I'm not a mod or anything, I'm just a GGW fan who would like a little more GGW and a little less Contest/Shout Out/Spam. ^_^;;

**Edit**

Oh, and please don't make this into an argument/complaints thread. This is for LEGITIMATE ideas to BETTER the GGW game experience.

i agree. like i have to go through all 100+ pages of spam just to find "fan list" requests since most of the flood was from the site announcement.

also, it is hard that most of the pages are spam and there is no way to report entire pages as spam since those there in the thread hanging out still think they are in the running to win a contest. it'll be maybe thursday when it finally settles down.

i think having two threads would be interesting, but that would make it hard on modding. and sure enough people will not pay attention to the rules of which thread to post in. like with the private message a certain account, i wouldn't be surprised some people pm'd the wrong one because they aren't reading the rules.

sometimes i wish i had mod powers so at least i can help take care of the spam.

About the modding- that is a good point. I think that maybe if there were two threads- one solely for contests and one solely for chatting, then there could be two mods, each responsible for one of the threads. Spamming is impossible to prevent, I know, but at least by having two threads the people who are mostly concerned about the contests would stick mostly to the contest thread- at least, in theory. I don't think it would be too much of an issue with people getting confused about which thread to post in- especially if you just completely remove the contest information from the main thread and say "For contest information, visit the contest thread at "link"" or something. I'd made it uber big, too, so people don't post "WHERE R D CONTESTS?????" lol.

(lol necro)

Thing is, from a modding standpoint, if there are two threads, there is twice the amount of work to do, twice the amount of crap to remove if we get announced, and a whole other huge thread to moderate.

I think we just need to modify the current way we do contests. I think it's almost vital that we keep everything in one thread.

And we don't have mods assigned to threads. I mod the GGW thread on a hit by hit basis because I helped create it, that's the only reason. Normally mods do reports as they come up. Yes, I can ask other mods to keep eyes, but assigning on to the thread is going to be a doubtful situation.
