Okey, me and Lush have been talking about this section and we came to a solution that we think everyone should follow.

Well we made a new section for NSC to prevent you all to look like crazy for old threads in the old section, but giving you a new section did not help much it seems. I mean why open a new thread just to ask a question when you can ask that in one of the existing threads.

So now the solution is that each member are allowed to open max "ONE" thread per edition, we think you don't need more than that. Some even opened like 3 threads for his countrys "NF" and that's bizzare, for gods sake the section looks like a huge vomit.

Don't get mad we just want to make it easy for us all

GREAT DECISSION LOLLI AND LUSH!

I think it's the best solution for our forum.

i have one thread for ALL NSC's. take example by me

I have only ever opened two Hibernia topics. I'm carbon neutral! P.S I like the irony of all the extra topics to announce the fact that we need to not open so many topics

I, as the host of two NSC's, need to open a bit more topics

What about polls? We do vote a lot on things (rules etc). Are they excluded?

of course, the host is allowed to do that if its related to the contest itself

We could make a poll if they should get excluded!

I've got a an idea in my crazy head

On some other forums, you can delete polls (your own ones of course ), or change options.
This leaves of course the possibility of 'fraud', but i think that chance is minimal, because there are enough eyes watching.

If you could enable the poll-changing-option, it wouldn't be necessary to open a new thread every edition, every nation would just have one thread.

Maybe a proposition worth considering? But who am I ...

It did say about one thread per edition for NF's, with a request not to open any new threads if a topic already exists on the same subject

We would do this if editing polls was an option to change on the forum, but it seems the polls can only be edited by admin/mods anyway

gotcha thanks for the clearfication.

We will be fine. I agree, one thread per edition for each country is plenty if you think about it.

I only open 1 thread per contest 2 times i did not open at all
and as the last host of the semi and NSC final i think there were toatal of 5 threads : confirmation, semi show, semi reslts, final show and final results

I opened 2 threads by mistake

Sorry for that.....

You spamz0r !!!! (ow this post is spam ... or isn't it? *is scared to be banned or deleted now* )

Sry but i opeed more than one. But i had a reasn why: there was an artist clash. Sry for that i won't do it again

Well, maybe they could change this option so we too can edit polls... But i'e asked it via pm, and i've posted the idea here, but i don't seem to be getting any mod-response. I'll go and try in the ooh aah a little bit of mod love-part.

I wanted to give you an update on a change that is going to happen in the NSC Forum.

As you all can tell, the amount of topics in this Forum just keeps increasing. And with every edition we get at least 40 - 50 new topics. And as the Admins mentioned before it is not very pretty to look at and in addition it's just totally messy.

So this is what we're going to do going forward:

We feel that there is no need to keep all the old polls open from prior Nation Finals. So everything that is prior to the current NF will be archived. What does that mean? Every country will have their own topic where we will merge all old Finals, discussion etc to store them. It'll make it much easier to navigate through this Forum. We have to many topics that are no longer needed. I mean who is still looking at NF results from ESC04?
So you will not lose the posts, they will only all be stored in one topic.
The only disadvantage to that is that you will lose prior poll results. But everything else we'll keep.

That is basically it. I just wanted to give you the heads up when you see topics "disappearing" over the next few days. They won't be gone, you'll only have your one topic for you and your "archived" topics.

Please let us know if you have any questions

And just to be clear:


You can still open one topic per NSC edition, that will not change. Only once NSC09 has started, we will start archiving all NSC08 topics.

Yes, that the best solution!

very good idea

Already thought about having 1 NF topic for future editions because mods can delete polls

It is up to you if you wanna start a new post and we'll merge it at the end or use the same topic. It will take us a few days to merge all topics anyway as there are quite a few out there.

But I'm glad that y'all agree

i have an idea. actually, an ask: can somebody (moderators) make sticky thread with links to all NSC finals (maybe even semifinals)? for instance, i often need something from those threads, and then i have to search them

Why don't we make subthreads. I mean: put all threads about NSC9 into one folder, all of NSC8 into one, all new entering countries into one folder etc.. because now it's just chaos. Especially since several countries started their NF already because the microstates must go first and that is bad for the full nation entries.
