I just think a short-form, categorized format would make suggestions more digestible and we could come to some level of consensus or points of commonality.
The recurring theme is rage threads over stuff that doesn’t matter/is subjective, and 5 page dump of one persons experience with the game. Neither is a very good format for actual exchange of ideas.
I personally, have no interest in seeing any thread that is about ‘the soul of the game.’ I assume a lot of the mature crowd is in the same boat. If I could just see those tags on a thread I can ignore them and look for the ideas I’m interested in.
Just prompting people to put those tags in may also clue them into the idea that people are already discussing this.
250 words is half a standard page, single spaced. It’s not overly short format. This would also force people with the giant 5 page play through summaries to break them into focused topics. There’s no limit in # of threads, you can post the same amount of info.
Welcome to humanity. However, we made progress since the dark ages of obscurantism and censorship. I wouldn't want to go there again.
