We could build a knowladge Base  A.K.A. a Cookierevised forum

Call it Knowladge Base move all useful threads here  and place them in either Messenger Knowladge or MsgPlus! Knowladge
Sub Forums.  And make some bizarre forum permissions to allow people like Cookie to move useful threads into this forum

i like the idea of a KB (knowledge Base) forums, but I don't think it's a good idea having a mod on those forums, neither allow some non-staff members move threads there.

IMO, the KB forum should be "read-only", ie: noone should be allowed to post there (make a new thread nor reply) *. Then, the staff (admins & smods) and maybe elites too should mark threads as half-stuck (the (I) thingy). Then, from time to time (dayly, weekly, i dunno...), someone of the staff should review those (I)-threads and move (or copy) to the KB forums the ones that really should be there.

* -> i think that the only permissions there should be edit own posts, and I'm not very sure.

The half stick idea is a bit dodgy, but I like it, i think that lightbulb (i) is a bit much though, the emote looks out of place in view latest posts......

RE: Thread pruned... Why?

and couldnt the marked topics list be used as the knowledge base?

maybe put the lightbulb where the normal icon is for the thread (second column) and thus disregarding the normal icon (not much use anyways).

Gaming Forums: (N)
Half-sticking: (Y)

Well, it's always 50% probabilities :refuck:

I don't really like the Knowledge Base form... That would imply the threads became closed and spam would be regarded there meven more strictly. While I still defend the Half-stuck-digest-page.

Oh, btw, I still think the posts should be regarded, because if you half-stick a 75-posts thread you'll have serious problems to find what was interesting about the topic and the reason for it to be half-stuck.

Or, well, instead of this: Why not a comment field nearby the halfstick button/action in order to paste in there a desription of what's relevant in the thread.

That's the plan at the moment.

Well, I don't really want to disregard anything, but if a poll is made and people want the Half-Sticky icon moved, I'll do it.

A 75-post thread? That shouldn't be half-stuck at all, because it's probably spammy, or it includes more than one topic. :p

I don't want to add another large (text) database field unless I have to. I always have server load in mind... :p

To be clear: I meant only for that thread. Thus I don't mean disregard all the emoticons for all the threads, just only for the half-sticked ones.

In other words, there will be an extra icon (the lightbulb) in the "emoticondatabase for threads" (dunno how this works but I hope you'll know what I mean ;)). This icon will be used instead of the icon of the toppost of the thread if the thread is "half-stuck".

Ok, the 75-post thread is a bad example, but it is true that in many threads often 1 or two posts are the important ones (sometimes on another page, or after "bad/wrong/incomplete" posts). And sometimes those posts are a resume what has been said in the thread with added things or something. It would be good if there could be an indication of these posts, or that there is somewhere a link to this post (eg: on top of the thread, or when you click the lightbulb, or..., or...)
