Anori,

We already have some change regarding the showcase. When I first started taking action on this we had over 20 pages of visible forums in the showcase. I think it is now 9. I am actively checking and taking action on forums posted and we have updated the guidelines.

I have asked if the forum can be set to moderated - I don't have ACP access (most of the team do not) and once that is done, then your second point would be covered as well.

Small steps delivering small change will get us there - perhaps slowly, but we will get there.

Hmm thats indeed a lot better already, though i wonder if you mean by second part the part of there being a forum for people to actually ask for tips with their forums? Since there is no place for that anymore.

Uh the showcase can and does still provide that. You just have to actually have something to build on.

For the record we've made some tweaks.

Firstly, threads now require approval. We'll see how this goes, hopefully the moderation burden will be manageable. We'll be checking the obvious stuff like support eligibility, copyrights, empty forums, etc.

Secondly, we've added an "unapproved submissions" subforum where showcase threads will be moved rather than being unapproved or deleted. This forum works like the private inquiries forum whereby team members can reply, but regular users can only see their own threads.

Finally, I've changed the forum description slightly to remove the "shameless" line.

Someone might want to recount the post counters.

Probably should, but it takes a while here.
