A new Idea for the B/S/T Forums

[FallNAngel]

I'm not quite sure I follow you...

Do you mean that it would automagically make the thread based on what you entered in? Such as:

Make: Warped Sportz
Model: Dark Angel LCD
Year: 2000

Would make a subject of something like: "F/S 2000 Warped Sportz Dark Angel LCD" ??

If so, what's to prevent people from putting in:
Make: Uber 1337 HK
Model: Angel LCD Machine Gun of Death
Year: New

and getting a title of "F/S New Uber 1337 HK Angel LCD Machine Gun of Death" or just entering that information under "Additional Information" ?

All in all, a good idea, but I don't see how it can be implemented without someone being able to get around it easily.

[master_alexander]

as said above that would be a small problem but otherwise it is genius.

all ideas from the start have minor problems.

FallnAngel: You have a good point. The only idea in my head at the moment is that there could be a drop-down menu system...

Either that or increased mod-supervision, which would be a pain in the butt!

[68magOwner]

drop down menu wouldnt work with all the variations in markers, i mean, i saw a E-bladed PGP up for sale the other day.....doubt that would be a standard menu option

[tyrion2323]

Uhm, I can't say that i've ever seen a thread like that on AO.
PBN, yes, AO, no.

Automaggot, allow me to introduce you to the NEW AO forums....

How does that represent the AO BST Forumn as a whole?

[TeamNausea]

You said AO didnt have any...he proved you wrong

[tony3]

Awesome, just expand on the idea more, also allow you to upload your own pics from other sites. Add Trades along with that. Contact info would be good aswell.

Yeah, a drop down system could work, I'd just have to cover quite a bit though; I mean you'd have to cover acid washes, fades, etc, even custom work. I'm not trying to say it wouldn't work or that it's not a good idea, just playing devils advocate.

[SpecialBlend2786]

i think its a great idea;

[tyrion2323]

I agree, Falln. Any good idea needs to be revised about 100 times before implementation. Let's keep working on this one, and maybe it might happen!

I don't see how this will help anything. If anything, it will only create more of a hastle and provide the seller less options to describe his marker, by installing a required set of fields to be filled.

How will it stop a gun from being described as AGG or a CHEATER gun? It will still be in there. This won't prevent anything that YOU don't like. Afterall, that's the only real reasoning for a change, to remove the things that YOU Don't like.

Go troll somewhere else, Squid - nobody's looking for your input here.

This idea would help make the AO forums easier to navigate, buy and sell. It would also make it easier to search for a certain marker that you're looking to purchase, which can be difficult some times.

With a drop-down menu, we would be able to get rid of a large amount of the AGG Gat stuff, because all of the makes, years and models would be accounted for. Yes, it would take a bit of time to implement, but it would be easier in the long run.

We could also include, perhaps, an advanced B/S/T search, which would be able to recognize each thread's marker type, and could make easier the search process when looking for something specific.

It's hardly trolling; you posted it publically inferring that you wanted input; I provided input. Just because I don't think we need it doesn't mean that I shouldn't post it. Sorry, you won't ever get everybody to agree with you. But seriously, what would this do for us besides make it harder to post a F/S/T thread to your liking?

EDIT: Reread your post. Seems to be the only real reason is that you don't like the whole AGG thing. Ok? How is this going to get rid of people putting AGG or CHEATER in the title/decriptions without filtering the words?
