Possible RULES for the Max, Maya & other software help section

[Glenfx]

I was thinking that there MUST be a rule where people MUST specify in their subject what program they are relating to.

so if you need 3D studio max help, then your subject Should be

3DMAX. "whatever my problem is"

instead of the current threads that are something like

"look here...problem with software"

or

"how to create bones" etc...

by adding the software in the subject itll get easyer to help other people.
I personally dont look at threads that dont specify the software.

Another thing would be in the WIP and finall completed artwork forums t have something simmilar, but specifying if its animation, character, environment, landscape, vehicle, etc.

for example... instead of

"dragon" or "girl"

could be

CHARACTER: Girl
or
ANIMATION: Girl
or
TEXTURE: Girl

it could be much easyer to look at problems and things of interest.

Just my thought

I agree with them both actually. I mean it isn't hard to tpe in 3ds max or just MAX, or LW or MAYA or XSI before the threads name. plus it directs correct ppl towards you.

The other one I agree on but ONLY for the finished forum :)

P.S. I just hit the 1000 mark

[Johny]

i agree , and ill start threads in that way :)

I agree too, but I think that the changes should be self imposed, rather than a forum wide 'rule' maybe. I dunno, we could see how it goes for a while maybe, but it is going to create a lot of work for mods if they have to either delete threads or else edit the titles or notify the poster to edit them.
I have put something to that effect in the description of the newly retitled "general software help" thread, so we'll see how it goes for now.
As for other forums, yeah it would help if people used descriptive titles - any suggestions on how we might implement this?

[Johny]

what about subdividing the tutorials section in every program ?

[Glenfx]

any suggestions on how we might implement this?

What i can think of to implement this could be a HUGE MUST READ NEW RULE sticky, and Even better if you know how to code the subject for it to be blinking ;)
