The RPG Group - A New Beginning

    Hey guys! Raid here with some updates on how the RPG Group will be run as well as the changes Bonelord and I made.

    Firstly, Bonelord and I decided to do away with the ranking system. We believed it was just unnecessary in a group where there's no need for competition, and it discourages newer members as a result. We wanted to make this group as open as possible and therefore thought we would get rid of ranking.

    Secondly, tagging rules have been updated. I'll be going through discussions updating the tags, but if you guys could give the page a read and help me out by re-tagging your content that would be a great help.

    Group rules on the whole have remained the same. Some discussions from the Mass Effect group will need their titles adjusted (which I don't mind doing, but if those Mass Effect content makers want to help that would be terrific), and I'll be going through and checking that discussions are all titled correctly.

    Finally, old Gaming Corner content that no longer applies to this group (such as content for games that are not RPGs) will be tagged with "Gaming Corner". Again, I'm happy to do this, but if people wouldn't mind going through their old posts and re-tagging, it would make my life a little easier.

    That's it from Bonelord and me! We're looking forward to working with you guys and hearing your suggestions. Any feedback on these changes is welcome.

    Glad to see you guys jumping in here and I'm really looking forward to seeing all sorts of cool stuff coming out of this group. Can I suggest a tag for posts that are not RPG related? I know they'll sort of be a bit of a relic moving forward, but if they were all accessible through a common archival sort of tag, that might be nice for the members who previously posted their content here.

    Good idea! Maybe an "Old" tag? Or perhaps "Gaming Corner"? Not sure on what would work best, any suggestions from anyone?

    I'm excited for this, guys, I really am. Great idea Raid, Bonelord. 

    Rules are completely agreeable and I think that removing ranking was a good call, to be honest.

    Well because a good piece of that was mine, I think something like "Gaming Corner" or "GCRelic" would work just fine.

    I like that idea! Either I think would work.

    Sounds good to me! Consider it done.

    Regarding ME build titles, don't you agree that the current titles are more intuitive? Changing all them to Mass Effect Build: ... will create confusion between ME1, ME2, ME3 and later on ME:A builds IMO

    P.S. I have also moved the build archive discussion from Mass Effect group, feel free to use it for the group ;)

    Great job, might motivate me to finish up some of my Dark Souls builds

    I'm pretty sure that's how titles already work in this group. Take a look at this build and this one too; both specify which game they are in their respective series.
