PC Questionmarks at the end of the title doesn't make it a question?

Many veterans check newest posts. Moving it to the questions forum keeps it on the front page for longer. I didn't move the threads in question but there isn't anything wrong with moving questions to the questions forum. Usually you only need a good answer or two and not a lengthy discussion.

Correct. But just as an example:

"https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?104816-Zombies-in-the-wilderness-jumping-repeatedly-for-no-reason"

isn't really a question, even if he ends it with:

"anyone else notice this?"

I'm not opposed to making the forum more tidy. And if the questions subforum would be in "7 Days to Die - PC" after News and above General Discussion, I am sure most new guys would actually post their questions there.

But I do not feel that moving everything that vaguely resembles a question should be moved.

Often times it is meant as a starting point for a discussion. "What do you guys think of this?"

This thread was not meant to be hateful or even trollish, just a remark that posts get moved a bit too harshly, phrased in a fun way.

I hope you see my point?

 
Zombies jumping in the wild clearly is not a bug?

I just thought they were ninjas practicing for horde night. My bad?

 
I really miss the old dismemberment... was funny to see zombies trying to reach you with no legs and only one arm left.

Yeah many people including veterans check newest posts but most likely in general discussion not Questions. But I guess you have the statistics to back that up so...

No it depends on the question. If the question is a simple one like 'How do I harvest bones' then it'll be a quick answer. If it's more complicated like asking about the new perk system then we'll have lengthy discussions as we've already seen.

IMO, simple questions with cut and dry answers should be moved to questions but others that can be discussed in more detail should left in General Discussion to reach more viewers.

When I said people check new posts I mean they click on the link "New Posts" and it shows the newest posts that have been made anywhere on the forums. It is up above in the left corner of the screen below Official Site and to the left of Private Messages.

As for cut and dry questions I agree with you but it is the forum moderator's job to make those decisions and it really doesn't have anything to do with the topic really.

How does the new Perk System work if I want to be really good at using Sledge Hammers? is a question I would move to the questions forum.

What the hell did TFP do to the Perk System? is a question I would leave in General Discussions.

 
This thread should be renamed "Do questionmarks at the end of the title make it a question ?" and be moved in the appropiate section.

 
out of curiosity, would it be possible to have "Questions" be sub categories to "PC" and "Console"? Just a thought.
