@CapFanboy: well, techicically according to the feedback joint:
You are allowed to:- Post Ideas (Survey your audience/Get the “yes” or “no”.)
- Request Feedback (for Story/Series)
- Advertise (your writing/art/projects/future objectives)
- Request a "bump" to your thread (so you can continue your story/series within the same post)
- Anything that falls under the categories or the main idea :)
but I would be the last person to say that that thread is effective. Either I added that bit when I updated the pinned threads in the summer or it was there originally. Normally I would jump on pinning this thread because it is a thread with a good concept, but I guess I am thinking conservatively and thinking we should have one thread for a number of purposes. i will admit the Feedback Joint is (meaning no disrespect) dead because nobody really visits that thread unless you a writer wanting comments (at least speaking for my self I don't see many non-advertisers visiting there). I just feel having one thread for ideas, requesting comments, etc. is the best way to go than having one thread for ideas, one for comments, etc.
The best solution is for me to update/revamp the Feedback Joint (maybe even change the name so people aren't as confused about it's purpose) and then maybe even put in a policy similar to what Wildvine tried a few months ago (a comment for a comment. where people advertise comments for a fic and then someone comments on that in exchange for a comment on theirs). I don't know...I hope i'm sounding like the overlord mod who just comes in and say, "no no no! you're doing it wrong!" but I'm trying to keep the amount of non-story thread with actual purposes at a mimunmum so the forum isn't over loaded. Ideally, the feedback joint is the solution, but it just needs to be rejuvenated so people actully visit that thread
