I didn't add your comment to the list of votes, because I don't think any of us necessarily mean there should only be one thread for the project. For example, there could be extra threads (like in DAL or SAO) for the series.Darklor wrote:2)D - with that I mean it could be appropriate to have two or even separate threads, depending on the activity, since youre talking about a full project status after one completed volume. Btw. what would you do with a project with more than on translator working on different volumes (which would have together the amount of a full volume translated, but are in iteslf incomplete)? I am talking about a thread for the readers to discuss the series (and maybe just for "thank you"s or feedback like that) and a thread for translators and editors to discuss and define the used terms in the translation or just the translation.
We're only debating whether there should only be one reader-feedback thread. For example, the future project suggestion thread, Teaser Feedback Thread, and Auxiliary Brigade Thread all function as a reader-feedback thread. We're proposing to consolidate reader feedback to one location. Meanwhile, if a translator/editor decided to make a thread for PDFs or terminology on the forums, they'd be free to. It just shouldn't be another feedback thread.
I have no idea where you want to put them, then? ...if you remove them from the sidebar...Darklor wrote:5) Re-Categorize them, but let them easy be found - with that I mean dont hide them in the teasers - as Bestandsschutz= provision made to safeguard existing standards
IMO, it's really easy to find things in teasers. There's a direct link to the English teasers on the sidebar, and I know a lot of readers check that section regularly. I don't know if there's a more visible place than the teaser category.
Notice: Changed rules to reflect current majority opinions. The debate about the 1-volume rule hasn't flipped sides of majority yet. I'm not changing that rule until it looks like there's a clear majority that favors one side.
