|
I renamed the forum from "Requests" to "Playlist". One, so people don't think the forums are a way to request a song to be put into queue, and two, to allow discussion about what should be removed from the playlist.
This is up to you, but when suggesting a soundtrack or song to be removed or added try to put it in poll format. If you don't know how, no biggie. I'd like to test this out though.
Example:
Please add the soundtrack "Footloose" to the playlist!
Poll choices: - Yea, - Nay, - I don't know
Also please remember to provide the following (in order of importance) when requesting additions:
- Link(s) (there may be multiple soundtracks with the same name, let's get on the same page)
- Samples (so we can test it out first to see if it is apprpriate to add)
- Cover Art (optional but it makes it easier to identify the album when hunting it down and makes your post pretty and professional  )
- Reviews (optional but gives your request more justification)

I like this idea JERIC, but personally 'playlist' sounds even more like what you want to put in the queue - anyone else have suggestions of a differen't word?

I think "Playlist" sounds less like a "request" to be queued and more like discussion about what is in the Playlist. Like JERIC said, it also lends more to removals as well as additions.
Besides, if People can't see the button near the top that says "Requests" and they somehow click on "Forums" then "Playlists" to type in a request to be queued, then they qualify as "Donald Dingus."
Too bad so sad, no request for Donald Dingus.
I think "Playlist" works just fine. |

lmao pix - it took me like 30 minutes this morning to explain the 'requests' button at the top of the queue/played page and get the person to figure out how to requests.
I guess playlist sounds better, just wondering if there is something even better. Or maybe it's best like it is, leave me a few people to have for breakfast

I think both names are fine. If people are not smart enough to understand what a forum is for then they don't deserve to request anyway.
At least, "playlist" instead of "request" avoids the confusion. Good job Jeric!
