Don't forget to use the dev tags!

On another note. What's to keep people from abusing them for attention grabbing purposes? I see this as a good way for complainers to look self important.

When the MOD's see that then They will immediately delete the thread as it is not a good thing to have. I have been seeing that the MOD's have been keeping these threads under check rather quickly on things that don't need to be there like if what I quoted in this post as.

So here it is agian, teh thread titled "[DEV1003] Adjustments to Empyrean Seal Acquisition." What makes 1003 the right one to use? And if the MODs started it first, wouldn't that mean we can't start anything new?

Lets take this by example...

If DEV1003 talks about Stuff like Empyrean Armor and Seals then it is the right thing.

If DEV1001 was talking about Abyssea but there is about DEV*** that goes into more detail of chages then DEV1001 is not the right Tag.

But If tag DEV1003 was not about Empyrean Armor and Seals and there is only tag DEV1001 about Abyssea then the proper tag would be DEV1001.

Is this easy to understand? I hope it is..

I see a lot of these pop up now. Makes it pretty clear that they do not read the forum, just assume that if you write dev10XX you'll get attention from developers.

They put out a message in the "In development" section of the forums with a dev tag

Then we can make threads here using those tags so they know which pending update we are discussing.

Dear Hvinire,

Please post a list of ALL dev codes and the topic they relate to so we may post our topics "appropriately".

Also, having the ability to for the original poster to go back and edit the topic title so that they might add the dev code subsequently would be nice (as people become more familiar with this forum).

There is a list of all the Dev codes already - in the Updates -> In Development forum. If you want to discuss something they have posted as in development in that forum ( http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/fo...In-Development ) use the code they have provided there. Anything else you might want to discuss as ideas to develop does NOT have a code unless an SE official puts one in there. DO NOT make up codes, use the official ones. Making up a code will not make it official, and will be ignored &/or deleted I'm sure.

I think people just aren't familiar enough with the forum yet.. because it's the same question over and over again lol...

There is a link to the "In Development" section of the forum in the OP.

Guess I must be too dense (being galka and all) but went to the area you indicated and did not see any list of Dev Codes showing what each one covers (ex: 10xx: Dynamis, 10xx: Missions & Quests). Only noticed that the current posts seem to be sequential, is that the goal? From the way the original article is written, I understood that there were numeric tags dealing with specific topics not just plugging a number in front of a topic like you were pulling a tab number when getting in line at some service counter.

How about a suggestion forum or a generic dev tag for suggestions that relate to things that don't have specific tags?

How about not bumping threads that haven't had a response in 5 months?

Didn't this thread use to be stickied?
