Board Thread:Suggestions/@comment-4848837-20140601030810

Alright, so it's fairly clear that there's an issue with what goes where in terms of threads and their boards here on the forums. Should this question go into Questions and Answers? General Discussion? Maybe just Fun and Games or Personal Help, Advice, and Support? Lot of choices, and just there, one topic could go into four categories. And it happens a lot, with more questions appearing in the General Discussion board than Questions and Answers -- simply because questions are often to be discussed if they need be asked on the forums anyhow. So why not merge the boards? :D

I was perusing another wiki and saw how simple the boards were, with clear purposes to each board, and I think our forums should do the same :)

Proposition I: So here's what I propose: And their descriptions: I'd also like to suggest:
 * New on Ben 10 Wiki and News and Announcements - Noticeboard (or just News and Announcements)
 * Introductions and Fun and Games  - Off-Topic Discussion (introductions really haven't been used in 2 months, so, eh...)
 * Personal Help, Advice, and Support and Suggestions - Support and Suggestions
 * Questions and Answers and General Discussion - Ben 10 Discussion
 * Noticeboard - Breaking news and information from and for the Ben 10 Planet community. Best suited for big news pertinent to the wiki or Ben 10 in general.
 * Off-Topic Discussion - You've got something to talk about beyond the scope of other threads? That's perfect; discuss it here.
 * Support and Suggestions - Questions about how the wiki works or is set up? Or a suggestion to change something? Ask away.
 * Ben 10 Discussion - The best place for anything and everything Ben 10 related that deserves discussion.
 * (Proposition II) The Admin Noticeboard, a place for admins only (though we can't specifically lock others out, this would be a great place to propose meetings, significant discussions, etc.).
 * (Proposition III) A new Suggestion Process - The current process seems rather quirky. Though it doesn't seem to be paid any attention to at this point, it was that: users suggest something on the Suggestions board, admins vote, if it makes it, it goes to News and Announcements for public voting. I suggest we just have all suggestions be public voting immediately (as soon as an admin sees it, they highlight it for all to see), all requiring a minimum of 15 positive votes (after weighing in both opposing and supporting votes), more supporting votes than opposing, and at least 2 positive admin votes. When it passes, it goes to the Admin Noticeboard as a reminder for the suggestion to be integrated.

And a reminder: this is for admin voting only until it passes (if it does).

Admins, here's how the replies will work for this. Each of the three main suggestions above have a "Proposition [#]" next to them. Write Proposition I, II, III if you support all three, or just the numbers you approve of (ie.  Proposition I, III) and  Proposition I, II, III for any propositions you don't.

Example:

Proposition I, III

Proposition II

If you're neutral, be sure to state that too. And state whether you prefer "News and Announcements," "Noticeboard," or any other name for the News and Announcements/New on Ben 10 Wiki conglomerate.
