Debate about Unnecessary Tags

To start off easy, what is/should be the definition of a PSA?

There’s a way to do that, I looked in Lxforums.

Right- when I made the first PSA, it was to inform the users of the old forum that guides were disappearing, and something was being done about it, and josh had been contacted to resolve the situation. I wrote it because the forums were being flooded with panic posts. It did actually stop the panic posts as it was supposed to.

PSAs were never meant to be about creative. They were meant to be important announcements about the forum.

So, just something to be used in a significant point in time? It’s heavily misused then.

It is, and it has always slightly ticked me off.

There is only one PSA on this forum that actually follows the original use:

Anyway, I have nothing better to do, do you all want to rework the beginner must read tag?

I don’t think you are automatically able to delete unused tags, but it is possible to bulk delete them manually. Maybe I’ll contact Jeffo once this conversation is over.

Alright sure. Do you think it should be able to apply both to the forums and GKC?

Beginner must read is things that users need to read when they j0in the forums, so I think it is just basic forum info, rules, and guidelines (like difficulty ratings)

If you agree, we can cut out everything about GKC

edit: I assume like = yes

@NavyCatZ @Anythinger keep or delete from beginner must read?

It’s not about the forum and I don’t think learning about Gimkit’s history is essential to understanding it.

All of the non forum guides are gone, now do we maybe trim some of the unnecessary ones, like the one below?

Keep stuff like the color systems, tag definitions, etc. What people would need to know when they first j0in the forum. Welcoming is more like something you should do to be polite, but not something you must do.

I think it’s trimmed down to the essentials, but they are spread across mini guides, and some larger guides overlap.

Do you think this one applies? I think it’s extremely useful to know about but not sure if it’s essential.

I suggest that community-poll be reserved for important use, like for the devs.

It’s too detailed. Maybe some parts are useful, but I agree it could be cut.
