I feel like the people getting help from the Missions tab could use a little more publicity. Having the Missions tab be on the main list (equivalent to Music, Film, ect.) instead of a sub list of the Main category would help them out.

Main is the board that is defaulted to when you log in. You literally can't access the site without opening all its sub-tabs. So, I think it is not lacking in publicity.

This

Yep.
Also it's literally 2 clicks if you're in a different tab, and most of the Missions on that board aren't even missions.

>>2 I suppose I should have maybe spent a day or two here before I suggested anything, now I look like a fool :/

>>4 Yeah, I am reading through them and they all are kinda off topic. A Shame really.

>>5 I am sharing in your shame for the board. There are good missions that get swept under the rug and it's sad.

>>6 Maybe with the new season starting up, more people will join and stick closer to the initial definition of a Mission and clear out more of the bullshit

>>5 >>6 Missions is terrible. So much potential swept away. I love the idea of it, but it seems that people either take it too seriously or don't take it seriously at all; there's not enough support in the middle ground for it to do that well.

>>8 What we could use is some sort of weekly "feed" that is like on the right side of the main board, like an announcement feed, used to show "recommended missions" based on perhaps the mod's recommended missions. They click to recommend one, it shows up, still having them being anonymous to us.

>>9 That sounds like any member of the site just bumping threads. It would accomplish the same thing.

The difference you don't clearly see, is that people do bump it anyway, but the idea itself is that only special missions a mod will find..productive would even make the list. So it's not like you'd be seeing a lot of topics on the side bar. This will allow for it to be a clean feed of only few listed, but regularly updated missions, openly promoting it.

It's far from being the same as regular members bumping it since it'd appear on the right of all boards.

>>9 I don't dislike this idea, but even if it was approved, it wouldn't be implemented in a while. Why don't we do a "Recommended Missions" thread for now? Regulars could give their input on what to include, or we could ask the mods to toss one of us an anonymous email or something with the missions they'd put on it, and the thread would be bumped up often instead of trying to bump up all the others?

It would be like the reverse of the "Smaller Missions Thread".

That could also help be a sort of proof of concept for my idea. If a topic like that can bring more activity to missions(which probably should go in Main) then it would also further help my idea that a system like mine would do a lot more good.
