I think the admins here are playing favorites, and not removing some of the posts that are way off topic like this one in the game guide forum: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=game_guides&message.id=39317


How is it that they can lockup couple of my posts for being off topic and never this? I have reported this post on several occassion, personally even message Xhan, but this post somehow keeps popping up because the admins never lock it up.. THis post has nothing to do with the guide forum and also breaking the rules.. ANd yet the admins have done nothing?

And yes I am sorry saying that they seemed to be playing favorites, and it is little harsh to say, but what else do you call it, where if I post something off topic like bug issue, it would get locked up but when someone posts something about other players names,insulting the names, no matter how stupid the names are and theadmins never lock it up or remove it?There is nothing else to call it but "Playing Favorites".

A better idea instead of making every useful thread sticky, is to sticky a single post with links and descriptions to useful threads. That way you don't have a page of stickies, and people have a quick reference to the information they want.

What we needis a website were anytime you find decent information, it can then by posted ontothat site to make it easier to browse and read. That way you can avoid off topic threads etc. Or to enrol volunteer forum admins, as the official admins are probably to busy! If you find any good guides or bits of info please email them to me at [email protected] and ill see about creating a guide/tip site and then i'll post the link in the forums!


Any other ideas you may have on such a site feel free to email me!


Thanks

There are a few good websites out there with good info, such as Allakazam. But most of these are supported by voluntary information and don't tend to be current with many things.

This forum is specifically for tips and hints to the world of Star Wars Galaxies.


Here you'll find guides to different professions (which are hopefully cross posted into the Professions Forums). If you have a question about one of the guides, please ask inside the thread. I'm sure the writer will be more than happy to answer (hey, it just means you read it!).


For those of you with questions about what to do in game, please head over to your Galaxy Forum and ask there. People on your Galaxy can answer questions from the most basic to the more in depth questions regarding Star Wars Galaxies. Who knows, you might even meet some friends!







Using the Search Function on the Forums



There is a pretty handy tool on the forums, the Advanced Search tool. You can use this to find the answer to many of the questions you have (chances are good that if you have a question on it someone else did too). Using the search can help on cutting down the amount of time it takes to get your thread responded to, and you might even get extra information to help you out.


The choices on the search engine are for the Message Body, the Message Subject, Message Author, and what board it was posted on. I like to be pretty specific when I first run a search, typing in "Jedi" is going to yield way too many results but if you type in "How do I become a Jedi" then you will lower the replies but will get more specific threads. It's also a good idea to pick a board since that will also help limit the number of replies you get, making it much easier to sort through.


One of the other really nice features on the search tool is that you can click a box to use Fuzzy Logic to search even if was mispelled.


Also, be sure to sort the Date/Time when you get the results - right now they are showing the oldest messages first so you'll have to click the Date/Time 2-3 times to get it so the newest results are displayed for you.



Happy Searching!
