Categorize games by color

Post by dakky21 »

I've already sent a PM to KA, I got that neat idea that we get "Topic icons" like they're in Suggestions forum.
I guess that is easy to enable so let's see if you all agree.
We can have this set of icons:

So my proposition is to mark:
Signups - green
Ongoing - yellow or white
Finished - red
Special (like Streaker and mine, or IcePack's clan idea) - blue

What you think?

Or maybe better -
ongoing - green
signups - yellow

And BTW... got another neat idea ... to prolong Subjects! And BigWham did that for us! So now we can really have longer topic names!

How the f*ck?

This has been discussed ad infinitum in this board already and it goes from 0 to 100 in one day?

I have always said that there shouldn't be an enforced system, just let mods use the tags as a way to attract attention to their games.

We always had the problem with attaching tags to the game because we would lose characters used to type the Subject, example "Harry Potter Mafia - D4 - 5/17 - Harry dies, brooms fly" has already 54 characters. Adding in front of it [EXPERIMENTAL] or [RUNNING] would add 14 or 9 characters respectively, which currently can't be done with 60 character limit in the Subject field. So you would have to cut the name of the thread down in order to add a tag to your game. So the idea is to simply allow longer Subject names so one can add tags like [SIGN UPS] or [FINISHED] in front of it.

I mean the color tags. Chapcrap asked for those 4 years ago, and now we get them.

I don't particularly like it. The thread title makes it obvious what stage of the game you're in. And those colors are kind of annoying.
