Require detail in service threads

[Tyler]

Hi, pretty sure this hasn't been suggested before because if it has I'd assume it would be implemented...

In the different service sections, like development for example, or even the plugins category I see this issue when people are looking for a plugin to be made.. They put in the title "blah blah plugin from badlion" then in the post they put "title ^^^^^^^^^" or "my budget is blah blah" and don't explain anything that could help anyone on this forum unless they play that server. It sort of is a low quality post, maybe make a forum or something for service threads it would make those sections so much cleaner. I hate seeing people just want something from another server and doesn't describe it, assuming every person on this forum plays on that specific server.

thx

The question would be, what is considered enough information?
Since I've seen a certain other website to it, we should be able to do it ourselves as well, to some extent. But with what requirements?
I think the requirements should be the basic things per section.
So, say, for a build it should be
-Size
-Important details
-Budget (if present)
-deadline (if applicable)
-theme (if applicable)

Yes those sound perfect, just a simple form including those.

No forms, forms are too restrictive. The info just needs to be in the thread.

But if there just becomes a requirement to "have info on the thread" it doesn't stop anything that is happening now.

I was hoping someone would make this, I dislike making them myself .

I thought when you said form you meant a format about what it has to include. We can simply put a statement that if the thread does not contain the list of required info, it may be moderated or closed.

I meant the form like there is for scam reports, support requests, and accounts.

I honestly think this is more a downside for the seller.

If I'm looking for a product and I notice someone doesn't have the ability to make a somewhat structured thread, I'm not buying from that person.

I honestly don't think it's needed and that it's all up to the user to put what he wants in his thread. Not enough info? Too bad, not many people are going to be interested in your product in that case.
