RE: How to post a new script/bugs
Such suggestion is good, but in practice it does not work.

The forum is not more organized or tidier then before. In fact, since the "[release]" and "[request]" tags are used sometimes, duplicated threads about same subjects/scripts have been created because people think they should create a new thread each time instead of continuing existing threads.

Also, it is not because a thread has a "[release]" tag, that there aren't suggestions in that thread, and it isn't because a thread has a "[suggestion]" tag, that the thread doesn't contain updates of scripts, making the tags actually meaningless.

The line between a suggestion, question, release, beta, etc is simply too thin if not non-existing...

The suggestion will only work if all threads have a same and consistant tag and if no confusion can exist to its contents (like on the soundpack forum; though people can't often even get that right and thread titles must be altered by mods all the time to keep it coherent) and if everybody use those tags properly.

In short: intention is good, but in practice this simply does not work and has a potential of creating more duplicated threads (and thus chaos) than it organises things.
