Criticism: merging threads without consideration

harduphardup Posts: 125
Well, I have started a thread about "Progress points for Candy farm".
This information is missing in the game/forum, so the intention was to make a project of gathering the knowledge on this topic through the game and share it with other players.

this thread was merged by someone.
Now the content is buried in general Candy farm discussion thread, mixed with questions about happiness counting per worker etc...
What a mess ;(

There are some threads on the forum that may be considered as a article in Wikipedia about specific topic/feature of the game. This is collectively generated content by people working for the same cause.
You would not merge all Wikipedia articles into one (of five) big article covering everything, would you ?

I strongly believe that good judgement should be applied before merging two threads into one.
Sometimes it is the same question asked again - that fine.
Thread may be moved if posted in the wrong section.
However any merge decision should be taken with GOOD thinking !

Thank you

    Absolutely support that. Just posted similar idea in merged threads. Please mods, use common sense and don't make more mess then necessary, hampering other peoples work.

    Actually, having played Rising Cities some time ago, it keeps surprising me that mods in for example this game play no positive role in creating good FAQ or Guide of basic info for new players. Pretty much everything of value (with exception of some Update Anouncements) is players generated, which means messy, as players can't organise info on forums into a neat structure. What for example Larino corner provides, could/should actually be easily accessible and nicely organised here on forum. Just go and have look at Rising Cities forums to get some idea about what a good info forum looks like. :)

    As a reference, what did your topic get merged in with? We're going to need it. It was useful!:(

    I support this, please mod's let hardup have his/her topic back on a separate thread, please!! Many of us were following that thread, and now this useful information is drowning in another thread. :S

    Hi Hardup,

    Just to clarify, your thread was not merged with the general discussion thread, it was added to the thread where Prince Manish is compiling all such info from players into a single guide for the event, as that is the main reference thread used by players & where the info would be most valuable.
    However, if you do not wish your data to be included, a simple PM to the mods is all that is required, rather than starting 2 more threads. Your thread has been unmerged & this one is being closed to avoid any more confusion of the issue.
This discussion has been closed.
