Thread: Separate section for Accolades

Separate section for Accolades

How about having a separate section for Accolades under the General offtopic discussions section. We have been having many threads on congratulations for reaching various milestones, Happy Birthday & etc. It would be good if we could have all these accolades threads under one section.

That is definitely a good idea.
What do u say MODs ???

I would think that if we renamed "Introductions" to "Introductions/Accolades" that would suffice. There are already too many sections.

Thats a good idea....

my view is existing one is enough... as we already have many subforums...and all the names are clearly reflecting their contents

Should I move all accolades to "Introductions" section?

Yes we can merge accolades in introduction section, No need to create another section for that.. Nice idea jee and J4K

I will wait for more "Aye's"

Edit: OK. I have moved them. If there are lot of objections, we can move them back where they were.

I can't do that. Mere paas paaawer nahi hai.

Brilliant Suggestion Jee. Even I was thinking of the same. But, these threads dont also fit well in the Introductions section. We need to have a separate section. So many accolades might be confusing for new users wanting to introduce themselves in the Introduction section.

Well, It is not that big a deal. the subject line can be tagged.

Introduction: Hi my name is XYZ and I am new here.
Introduction: Just registered, hope to contibute
Accolade: Farce is the greatest
Introduction: This is my first post to this great forum
Accolade: I'd like to thank Farce from the bottom of my heart
Introduction.....


well, you get the idea ;-)

Come to think of it now, I approve the idea of separate section for accolades.

Just to remind the need of a separate Accolades section. I havent seen a single new member introducing himself/herself after the introduction sections got flooded with accolades. Seeing all those Congrats threads and no Intro thread can be very confusing for newly registered members. They might not end up introducing themselves.

I think there should be a single thread for all the introductions and it should be stickied. Replying in an existing thread is easy for newbies and veterans alike. Newbies may not be very comfortable with starting new threads in a not so familiar environment.

Same goes for all congratulations threads. Maybe we could have 2 congrats threads, one for REP and one for Post count. No need to create million new threads when someone gets to 1000 posts or so. It will help reduce the clutter a lot.

^^^^ Yep thats loads better...

Good ideas Amal.
