Forum Suggestions: I was really thinking about deleting threads instead of locking it..?! other members cannot reply to it, SO it would be great deleting threads because its just a trash in the board, because its locked. NOTE: (if needed)
[/b] Forum Members: I was really thinking about posting your threads in the "correct sections" the "font and texts" is all clear and why you did post it in wrong section. The Video's[..that isn't made by you, and want to be advertise] please put it in Website Section. and donations to Suggesting/Donate/Additions sections, Other members put it in "General Sailor Moon" section. (which member that i forget) In General Sailor Moon, section you can talk about "SAILOR MOON" Not to post your "Sailor Moon" ani avatars or avatars & siggy. Just read the board description: Talk about Sailor Moon,
Not to post Sailor Moon Graphics,
The Oracle Site Suggestions
Oracle Suggestions: Ms.Betty Ann. you can always check the other section always because you always put the wrong information there, And the MoonPrism.net in Affie section, That site is now "expired" and "closed" delete it because some visitors will get annoyed that this "site" is old because the other links aren't working.
[/color] *If betty ann gets angry in this thread @_@ oh yeah punish me for disabling my account for 1000 days *

Well, locked threads should stay even if read-only, even though nobody but the staff can reply to them, they may hold an example for all members, as in what not to do/say! As for threads in correct sections, mehthinks they're pretty well made, and in the odd case a thread gets created in the wrong section, it'll be moved to the appropriate one in a matter of hours. And "clear fonts and texts"? No offense but it would be a good idea if you'd follow that suggestion too ;D Use font colors for highlighting, since text in bright colors will eventually start hurting the eyes(mine are already at it) And I don't think Betty Ann ever put wrong information in the "Other" section. She may not check forum-important threads that often, but that's not a problem! But yeah, pruning dead links is always a good idea!

We lock threads so that, as Larry explained, they stand as an example. If a member does something wrong, how will we keep that mistake from being repeated (at least for the immediate future)? Granted, I think it has a limited long term effect, but it also sets some sort of precedent in future cases. What we might be able to do in the future is make a section where all locked threads are placed. That way people can look in there and see what shouldn't be done when posting. That's up to Betty Ann, however, so I'll have to talk to her about that one. Most threads are posted in the correct sections, and if they're in the wrong spot, we can move them. Mistakes like that happen on all forums, so it's difficult to prevent but easy enough to fix. I'm a little confused by your next suggestion, but I take it that you mean why we don't post with color texts. Read Larry's reply for that one: using colors (like that bright green you used) is hard on the eyes of many of our members. I doubt even members with 20/20 vision would want to read an entire thread that's colored like the rainbow. We're working on possibly merging and/or deleting some now rarely used boards. That's how it works currently. Most people post their avatars, sigs, and graphics in the General Discussion board anyway. Could you post a few examples of when Betty Ann "always" posts the wrong information in the Others section? Maybe she won't, but I will...

While I've read your suggestions and taken note of them, I really don't see any problems with how the board is now.
I agree with TINS on everything. The only deleted threads should be useless spam.
The board probably does need some cleaning in the way of a few stray topics and posts, but otherwise everything seems to be in working order.

I agree mostly with what everyone else said, the only thing I have to add is:
what the heck are you talking about with Betty Ann? First of all I see no "other" section on her site lol and second of all it's her site so I'm pretty sure she's organizing it the way she wants it organizing, so whether or not it's in the "wrong" section is not really up to you, it's up to her because it's her site. She can't be psychic and arrange her site by what your thoughts are that it should be, and if she could she probably wouldn't anyway, seeing as how everyone has a different opinion on how something should be organized and one person's opinion shouldn't stick out over any other's except Betty Ann's because she owns the site. And if you're saying she's posting incorrect information... well that's just a no, she may make typos and accidentally replace certain words because her mind slips when she's tired, but we all correct her on those anyway and she doesn't post actual incorrect information on the site. So I'm not really sure what to tell you on that last one until you be more specific/give examples...

I just noticed this, too. Where is this "Others" section exactly?

Wait, I think she actually means a category on the forum. Haha. We all missed that somehow.

Where the humor, other anime/manga stuff, venting, etc. boards are located...it's under the "Other" category. Under the big blue header (at least, blue on the Neptune skin).
Although I certainly don't see an other section on the mainsite...
