Which Game Threads Belong In Gamers Forum?

beautiful_dreamer — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:31:27 GMT

I see a new game thread started in "Kitchen."

Is it ok to start game threads in all the forums or just some of them?

How do we decide?

tia!

There was a thread about this a few months back.

ALL game threads go to 'GAMERS.'

The Q Social Team moves them there if a poster starts one in another forum. Otherwise they set a new precedent and we all can start game threads wherever we like.

Unless the policies have changed.

There's been a game thread on the Recipe forum for ages, hasn't seemed to bother anyone.

What you posted is the way it was explained to us before, on several threads, @spindlegirl. The moderators explained that game threads are subject to constant bumping and if they're in any forum other than "Gamers" the threads will fill up the main page (the one we see when we choose "Forums" or "View All Forum Topics.") If that's changed, it hasn't been mentioned, at least not that I've seen.

That's not a game thread @KingstonsMom. It's a daily friendship chat thread.

The new one in 'KITCHEN' is a word game basically.

If the policy's changed that's cool. I'm sure others would like to start similar threads in their favorite forums.

Thanks @dooBdoo.

Several Moderators are tagged in this thread so I hope they chime in.

They're busy with the broken notification case right now I think.

Post #1 of that thread spells out the rules for the game, so it IS a game technically. I used to post on that one a lot.

@KingstonsMom

It started as a game thread in 2012 on the old boards where they allowed games.

It morphed into a daily friendship Chat.

So under the new boards where they told us game threads need to be in 'GAMERS' it wouldn't be considered a game. I think they need to clarify like the OP asked. Hope the Mods will explain.

If it's allowed in some places probably should be allowed everywhere for all posters. Jmo tho which is worth 2 cents lol.

Are you speaking about the Monthly Recipe Exchange Game?

It has been under Recipes forever before AND after the forum changes. Everyone who reads and posts would look for it there. I didn't see any games in Kitchen but maybe I missed it.

It is a monthly thread to exchange and share Recipes. Not a word game. I get the most wonderful new recipes from there!

Please leave it where it is. We can very easily rename it to : February Recipe Exchange if it is bothering you.
