Stop posting threads about Gold Saucer in General Discussion

Guys, there's a subforum for Gold Saucer made for you yet you still post in General Discussion? Unless you're suggesting new ideas.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/1271

This General Discussion page is now full of cards and how to win triple triad, Chocobo racing and bunny ears threads.

Fine fine, we'll go back to the QQ maintenance and "guess that" threads I suppose.

I was just about to post this exact post, and you beat me to it.

Seriously, guys. Its getting really annoying. I don't CARE about the gold saucer. We now have an entire SUBFORUM dedicated to the gold saucer. Lets let the general discussion return to being GENERAL.

I would much prefer those posts to ones about triple triad and GATEs. at least those posts I have some interest in the outcome of.

I really wish the moderators would just move all of them over...

I know who you're referring to and I chuckled.

To be perfectly honest I had no clue about the NEW subforum, maybe others didn't either?!

Besides GS threads make a much better read the the maintenance, "show your glamour", and guess what threads....

Wow. I thought all the Gold Saucer threads were a breath of fresh air from all the pointless drivel that usually takes over General.

The problem is, that they are far from "General". people who dislike or are indifferent about the gold saucer (I cant stand the place myself, its stagnating the markets, and preventing raids from occurring) don't want the "General" forums that they go to for stress relief, to be blocked up by the very topics they despise.

I didn't either, I was writing this thread asking moderators to create a subforum for Gold Saucer. But I did my research before posting (didn't want to look stupid) and apparently there's one already but with very few threads. I hope moderators move these threads posted in General Discussion to Gold Saucer.

Who bothers to read the sub forums? Everyone runs to the General Forum cuz it would be about anything. Lol

Yeah!!, we need more post about messing up Smn.

Generally the general forums can post really about most in game topics and discuss about it, and more people are going to see it because most people basically come to the general forum. It's not really a big deal.

It stagnated markets and prevents raids....well that's your opinion. Shame, but yeah, people are going to post in general whatever is "hot" in game. That's just how it's always been on any mmo general forum! You don't have to read the threads.

I also think it's a breath of fresh air, usually the general only has one or two semi-interesting topics a day.

yea good idea.

so that 23610 threads not suddenly become 23620.

It was in the DEV tracker literally on the left side of the main page.

Yep! Now it's the same exact threads that have been up for the past 2-6 days, with like, five new comments!

Woo! Sure am glad general discussion is much more empty now.

Oh just give it a week to cool down.

It always does.

Guys....it's only Day 3 of the Golden Saucer. Of course people are excited and want to discuss it and, as said before, the subforum is NEW, and there's a good chance people haven't noticed it's existence yet. My advice, if you don't care about Golden Saucer, keep scrolling and don't read the threads about it. Sooner or later, people will start placing them where they should go.

I wasn't aware that Gold Saucer had its own subforum, thanks for letting me know :D

lol what a pointless thread.. people are going to post what they want in general discussion because it's just that.. general discussion. If you want to become a moderator you should apply for the job because at the moment I'm sure nobody cares if they have your permission to post something in general or not.

The word general essentially means that people can post about anything here, deal with it. Just like how you can make a thread acting like you're a mod, people can make a thread about the new content in 2.51.

Personally, I never bother to look at other sub forums because the majority of interesting posts, to me, happen to be in general discussion. Anything else gets posted on reddit anyways.

The Gold Saucer is only like three days old; of course people are going to be talking about it in the primary forum, and of course there's going to be people who don't even know about the subforum. I don't know why anyone expected otherwise.

I don't know what that even is, so I at least have never seen it.

The amount of GS hype was so big that it got its own sub thread.
Amazing what the community can do when we r not trolling each other or ripping each other's faces off lol.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that we have moderators to moderate the forum, and don't really need self appointed ones issuing reminders about sub-forums. I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure we have active mods here, who are more than prepared to take people to task if they are posting out of line in some way.

Of course the movement of dozens of threads today also underscores that point.

Wouldn't this by technical means be a thread about the gold saucer? So by posting a thread about the gold saucer here, wouldn't you be contradicting yourself?

I knew I would get a reply like this. But this is a thread about General Discussion being spammed with Gold Saucer threads.
Anyway why to post this on Gold Saucer subforum when they're posting their threads here?
