New ATS Policy For Very-Large Threads (Serpo!)

I'm trying to take a whack at the index...I've been reading the Serpo thread since the beginning and it's been very interesting the whole way through. I U2U'd Springer with the first 25 pages I did, but I'm going to change tactic some...I think I was thinking of "table of contents" instead of 'index'. In any case, I'm up to page 98 of the thread and still going! I promised myself to stop at 25 but I just can't stop; I'm having too much fun doing it! I don't know how it will turn out, maybe it will be crummy, but I'm still going to finish it, if even for myself.

I think that his would mainly apply to ATS and PTS rather than the "3 word story" type posts on BTS.

I definetly think that some way of letting people know which posts are "big threads" is important. I have listed a few ideas on how this could be achieved.

1) A sticky at the top listing the big threads (in order of most recent to oldest) with a quick message saying if they are locked or not. With a link to this thread.

2)Prefixing the topic with BigT (but without changing the actual topic (as seen here (ogame forums)

3)Some kind of colour highlight/change of the thread topic

4)Add the words "big thread" to the first post in such threads.


1 and 3 seem like the easiest to implement.

Well, It was a mass U2U. Hopefully someone saw it.

What does trolling mean?

Does the big-threads policy apply to BTS as well,especially the Rant forum?
