Guys, couldn't find a thread.
Is this something we could do?
Has it been talked about before?

I think it would be really neat.

If anything, the indexs could be just so we could wade through the newfaggot shit threads without scrolling through twenty thousand pages.

I think since our aggro tactic didn't work, a more passive one should be enacted in the form of indexs.

Would the FAQ's be completely specialized for the board, or would they be the site-wide one with a few modifications?

I like this idea.

>>4 Whatever would work best.
I just think some kind of FAQ or even just an index on all the boards would be a godsend.

bump, maybe?
Open to ideas for a passive way to wade through newfaggotry river, pls.

We have the help page.

>>7
That's not really a good reason not to have it, though. If you're going to be against it, you better give a good reason.

>>8 He's against it because he doesn't like me.
I told him he was unoriginal or something.

Xephlrek, why hold grudges bro?
Life is short.
The help page is literally visited by two or three of ten newfags.
Derp.

Some boards have certain rules that are unique to that board, like making only one thread for your artwork on the Art board, or posting links in your OP on the News board. I am not sure all boards have specific rules like that, but it can't really hurt having at least one FAQ-like thread per board.

I assumed we already had FAQ's on each board and that they were just bumped down o: looking now, I see we don't. I'm up for it. Who wants to be the sucker to post them all?

This already got discussed here:

http://dollars-bbs.org/suggestions/res/1367745706.html

There are some more points there too.

>>13 These are exactly the same things.
An index would have links to all "big" topics and a FAQ would include board specific rules.

>>11 If someone helps me write them...that would be super nice.
Or if someone helps me find all the stuff that should go in them.

>>14 *aren't exactly the same things.

loooool

>>14 Do we need links to the big threads on all the boards? I don't see a lot of spam on boards other than Main. Well, a lot compared to Main, anyway.

There's also a description thread in the VN board.

>>16 I have never been to VN.
I don't even know what a virtual novel is.
Is it a game, is it a book, somewhere in between?
Eh, I would say we do, but that's just because every board has been spammed at one point or another.

>>17 Here's the thread: http://dollars-bbs.org/vn/res/1308250680.html
It looks sort of like the one in News. They've both been pretty successful.

Do we need links to the big threads, or just description threads for that board? It seems like a thread on Random that said: 'This is not random shit, it is for legit threads that don't belong elsewhere', would be better suited than another RTIYN. I guess we would just have the links to those threads in that same description-type thread if we wanted, but I don't really see the point. If they are brought to Main first and didn't read it then, I don't think they'd read it anyway.

>>18 Since the time I made this thread, I am also thinking that it's pretty pointless due to newtfigs not knowing how to read.

>>19 I think there are some newbies that are really trying to follow the rules when they post threads in Random, for instance, but the FAQ does not go into nearly enough detail with respect to individual boards. Those worthless threads that shouldn't be in Random are posted there because people believe random means anything goes. It wasn't because they didn't read, it was precisely because they read. Having a thread on each board explaining in further detail the rules for each board would be helpful, especially for a misunderstood board like Random.

This is a great idea. Especially since the F.A.Q. thread is about to hit 1337.

Bump.
