The second page also has about 1/3rd of the threads being character support threads sometimes.Comrade Bork wrote...
On 2. Definitely. I am sick and tired of the first ten threads on the spoilers forum being Character support, and then half of the others on the front page are support threads too. Plus, half of the responses in the support threads are a variation of good night/morning.

Alternately, the obsessive fans could have the thread in their own group's forums.

No way. They [hint]need[/hint] it to be public.
Actually, even removing these thread to a separate (less popular) forum will hurt some of them.
I support the idea of a separate forum (or subforum, as it were). It would reduce clutter on the more generalized subforums and maybe, just maybe, it'd stop some of the irrational hatred <_<

It will also need to be organized in alphabetical order. If it's not, people will argue over why their thread isn't above another one.JeanLuc761 wrote...

This thread needs to be posted into and bumped, until either site administrators do something about this or hell freezes over! Whichever comes first.

The adblock method is tempting to. But how can you still visit the threads, should you desire to?

Personally I prefer using groups catered to certain characters, but I understand the desire to have public threads as well. I'd support a new forum/subforum for them.

Yup. That's exactly how it should look like.Collider wrote...
I support Ecael's idea. Maybe something like dividing the Mass Effect 2 forums into 3:
1. Mass Effect 2 Official Campaign and Storyline Discussion
2. Mass Effect 2 Character Discussion
3. Mass Effect 2 Gameplay and classes Discussion
Honestly, I'm guessing the only reason the moderators haven't done that yet is that adding a new forum requires more moderators or something. And moderating a character support forum would be difficult. In that case...

At the end of the post, I detail a way to block the thread titles from showing up on the forum page using AdBlock and Element Hiding Helper.mopotter wrote...
I know next to nothing about this but I think I understood the 2nd one and I'm for it. But what does this: "A method of Adblocking specific threads that can make the forum feel disorganized" refer to? I tend to think of adblocking as the ability to not view the sometimes overwhelming number of palm in face images. But I'm not sure if that's what this does.
Sorry I have to have my step-daughter come out and help me fix the screen saver.
I don't think I can't help you with your screen saver though.

The people discussing gameplay and number-crunching over there probably wouldn't appreciate that.cronshaw8 wrote...
I agree that an additional sub-forum would be nice. Failing that the character support threads should really be moved to the "Mass Effect 2 Characters, classes and Builds" sub-forum. That's where they belong.

The problem is that people use this sub-forum as a catch-all, instead of actually considering its title. If they did they would have posted the character support threads in the sub-forum that actually has the word "character" in the title.

I'm kind of sick of them. The ones that actually talk about the character and mass effect barely gets posts, and the one that does get frequent posts is just a constant flood of "Hi, look at my fanfiction!" and "Goodmorning/night!"
