For those of you that want a brief post to read, because you should read this, I colored all of the important part green for your convenience, the rest is just me rambling.
I know we've always had a really vague way of doing things here in this forum, and it's because we don't like to post a big long list of stupid rules that we would only enforce when we decided to... I mean, who likes rules?
This is NOT a rule I'm posting, but it's just the way things will be done around here, and you can comply or not (it's up to you), but if you chose not too and are suprised the name and location of your thread have been changed, don't get upset. Our goal is to make this easy for everyone, but at the same time not as complicated as it was at the old site.
When you post a thread, if the development or news is of something in Oklahoma City or Tulsa proper, then there is no reason to designate that in the OKC or Tulsa forum, one would already assume that. But if the news is actually, say, from Edmond or Owasso, then that's differant from Tulsa or OKC... and the other ten million suburbs, so we ask you to designate that by doing such:
[Edmond] New downtown trails in works
Whereas if the new downtown trails are actually in OKC's downtown, you would post the it as simply "New downtown trails in works" and instead of posting it in OKC general, you would just post it in Inner OKC. Same goes for Tulsa (which actually does have downtown trails in the works).
If a thread is about your pretty photos you found or took, by all means post those, because those are our favorite threads, and thus they get a special place in the photo forums, inside of Tulsa or OKC general.
If the new subforum system doesn't designate a special place to discuss the topic you have, then it goes in general. Or else why have general?
I don't mean to confuse you all or sound picky, and I really won't hold it against you if I'm constantly moving or renaming your threads. If this seems stupid to me (which I can't imagine why it would) I would love to hear what you think about it and we would be more than happy to at least consider changing the policy if you so wish.
