A desperate plea to the mods...

[DJZen]

Dear mods,

I respect and appreciate what you do. You keep these forums free of spam, flame wars, and vulgarity. This is an important and seemingly arduous task that some may not recognize the importance of.

That said, I would like to register a complaint. This is specifically about the general FF thread, which is why I placed it here. I will not be upset if it is decided that it would be better suited somewhere else. I feel that this is a legitimate complaint and I have an easy solution to propose. In fact, I HAVE proposed it before, which is why I decided to state this in the form of a thread. It will doubtlessly be noticed quickly this way by any mod passing by, possibly even from being flagged as "wrong forum" or "spam".

My complaint is this. Ever since I joined these forums several years ago, I have seen a new thread pop up every month or two titled "best final fantasy" or "what's your favorite final fantasy?" To me, this seems wasteful of bandwidth and storage space. People doubtlessly vote on multiple "favorite FF" threads, which consumes an unnecessary amount of resources. There are currently 2 unclosed and active threads like this in the forum, and 5 threads that could be construed as similar enough to either merge or close on the first page alone.

This is my proposal; instead of having many "favorite/best ff" threads littering up the general FF forum, why not simply make one official thread and sticky it? It can be a poll. I don't really care. This is just something that ought to be done in the best interests of the entire EoFF community. We have this thread come up MANY times, and yet if two people decide to report similar or related pieces of news in the forums, one of their threads will be closed/merged. I implore you to take similar measures with this subject.

Sincerely,
DJ Zen/Strizzuth/Torren McHasselhoffgard III/Carl Thomas James Finkbeiner.

You could have PMed a mod or put this in feedback.

Thats a pretty good Idea. The only thing I would add is every couple of months reset the poll so people who played new games will be able to change there vote without continually bothering the admins to do this. The only problem I could see with it is it would get freakishly long, but they could wipe the thread and remake it after two months, which would also pretty much reset the poll.

I agree DJ...

[Flying Mullet]

Just ban "Favorite Final Fantasy" threads altogether. Nobody cares what anyone else's favorite Final Fantasy is anyway.

I get so sick of them threads. And Chuck Norris threads.

[Flying Mullet]

And Chuck Norris threads.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Yeah, I'd rather just outlaw them forever, but we've got all these bleeding-heart liberals on staff.

Thank God we have you.

[Jess]

Just ban them. Please.

I thought there was to many when the first came up. We need a Mr. T thread instead. Much better.

[Cz]

Couldn't we just have an announcement declaring FFI the champion, and letting members know that their opinions are irrelevant?

[Old Manus]

Encourage members to make them, then ban the members when they do.

Like badger-baiting, except not as fun

[Levian]

We should also sticky a poll in the FFX-2 forum.

"who's da hawt3st lol. yunah rikku or pain!!!?!!111?"

I'd post in that thread "Hypello", as a joke!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No, really. It's one of the few truly timeless pieces of humour.
