I know I am not an admin or any leader of some type or whatnot, but, lately

I've been noticing some post pertaining to questions of some sort and feel

that we really should be putting into consideration some changes here at

Warcraft III campaigns. Heres what I'm seeing.

Question Titles:

"Help!"

"Help a n00b!"

"I need help!"

"Plz Help!"

These I see a problem with. Help with what? Help with importing skins?

Help with making a skin?

This is what they should be:

"Help me change a bmp. to .blp"

Obviously that had to do with importing a skin into Warcraft III. Heres

another:

"Error: Model Crash in Warcraft III"

That means that they had the model do either 2 things:

1. It crashed the game

2. It crashed (crushed, lol) the model

You dont want 2 equally probable answers, only one. The proper way of

writing this would be:

"Error: Model Crashed in Warcraft"

OR

"Error: Model caused game to crash"

Feel free to post comments and/or add-ons to this topic.
Happy Modding,
Nieffed ^_^

No, people skip over stickies because they're so hellbent on getting an answer, they just pick a forum and ask. We need structure. For example, if someone posts a question in the wrong forum (Provided the forum has a sticky describing what to and what not to ask and where), and get banned for a week or so.

A week? :\ Isn't that too long? Hey, I'd agree with the idea if the ban-time was somewhat lesser, like a... eh... well, at least not *that* long. It would take care of most people, since they will read stickies faster.

Gitlich is right though, people usually skip stickies because they are stickies. People don't want to bother reading it. As for me, well, I don't see them :\ I don't really notice if there is a sticky, a note, an anouncement, etc. I didn't even noticed the big title thingy anouncement until I saw someone posting about it somewhere in a thread :\

Thanks for the time
