Yeah the other forums have topic icons, Announcements needs them too! Make it easier to see what things are (or for) at a glance.

i guess you could just use the post icons from the feedback forum, so if it doesn't have a platform icon then you know it's not a game announcement

[Blademasterbobo]

and you think other announcements wouldnt just use the pc icon? haha

I'm concerned a small post requirement will just encourage five spammy posts followed by an announcement.

Maybe once a week somebody could compile the most interesting announcements into a single front page post? JayIsGames does a link dump once a week that works the same way. The effort would be relatively minimal, and you could further reduce the effort by encouraging announcements to fit some requested format in hopes they'll get in the front page summary.

I like announcements as they stand now. They're out of the way, and it keeps announcements from cluttering the other forums.

y'know back in the *olden days* we used to drome threads that were just ppl signing up to copypaste a press release. me and dragonmaw were definitely still doing it after we became mods, but then it kinda stopped for w/e reason (probably just laziness :p). at the moment the only thing that results in a droming and ban is ppl trying to post "viral marketing" bs in the middle of unrelated threads.

Guess so but it seems like extra work for you mods. Sometimes you get more marginal stuff like this dude who seems to be pimping some new console in the games section. Kinda spammy but I dunno what affiliation he has and he's a long time poster, would this get dromed? If you've got one announcements forum then you can just say dump all that crap in here, no faffing.

The linked site is a subdomain of his own site and 4 of the 5 announced "first party games" are his...

if the post requirement was 25/50/100, nobody would bother spamming up that many posts just to viral their minecraft ios clone

And if they did, it'd be bannable anyway.

let's be realistic here, that's not gonna happen. it's taken rinkuhero like 3 months (and counting) to post the results of the top games poll he held, and that's just a list w/ some links / youtube videos. most of the posts now are one youtube video and half a paragraph. anything more than that isn't happening, and even if it does happen, it will probably die in a week or two. i think journos already trawl the announcements forum, it's already a relatively easy place to get news from.

Isn't this the game where characters shoot themselves in the head with fake guns to summon demons or some shit?

I don't see how anyone could take that crap seriously.
