Goals / Achievments: Prefixes

[nvrspk4]

The user Zokoli suggested that users be forced to choose a prefix (Goal or Achievment) in the Goals and Achievments forum to prevent confusion.

Pretty simple vote, yes, or no ? (or I really don't care)

[NeoSeller]

no thats a silly add

[infatuation]

Well wouldn't it be a goal until you achieved it, and then it would turn into an achievement?
In all honesty, the user could post stating whether it was an achievement or a goal in first post, but I usually find no confusion in this anyways. Seems pretty silly in my opinion, I don't think there's a need for it.

[Sly]

remove the section altogether and make g&a a prefix on the main page.

[scottish]

ders no point.....

"FINALLY GOT 99 MAGE" u can tell dats not a goal is it its bl8s an achievment

[Orangeesh]

It's fine how it is =]

How come the stickied threads in that section are locked though? :s

[Arch]

I put i really don't care, cuz its not needed. No one is confused and yeah unlock those threads :P

[Zokoli]

I voted yes, as it will be a good addon.

Some users post goals when they have achieved it and they don't post achievements sometimes so this is why it would help. :eusa_clap

[scottish]

You're obviously not going to disagree cause you suggested it l0l

It wouldn't help, it would be another useless add-on, the forums been like that for years and its never been a problem, you've been on the forum for like 5 months lol.

If we had to prefix it it would be stupid, as for example say i was getting 99 attack, i'd post in the same thread from 92-99, i wouldn't make a goal thread and post up to 98 then for 99 make a new thread?

Goals and achievements should be in the same thread :S

Suggestion is just pointless and shouldn't be implemented imho.

[Bren]

don't care

[Callum.]

no, prefixes are pretty pointless. it's just one of those pointless updates that new people to the section try to make.

[Orangeesh]

yeah unlock those threads :P

Apparantly they wont be re-opened because they've been locked for 10 months.

[Arch]

Well thats stupid... they should of been unlocked with all the other threads that they unlocked.

[Callum.]

I pm'd nvr just now about the threads. no point making a crap update when we could get the threads back. the only spam was "nice bank" over and over, but now most of them have gone.

accept conor ;)

[Orangeesh]

Well if they refuse just make brand new ones and ask them to be stickied :]

how rude

[Zokoli]

I'm not new to the section fyi.

[Callum.]

I'm not new to the section fyi.

under what names have you been here? or are you saying feb 09 is not new

[infatuation]

Regardless, I still think it's pointless as many people have stated, and isn't needed.

[Kyle]

this would be pointless since people usually give some clue in the thread title as to whether it is a goal or an achievement, e.g. Orangeeesh's thread entitled "99 Fletching Goal", Blackspoons' "Going for my first 99" and Sly's "My fishing goal".

Some achievements can, however be confused with goals by looking at the thread titles, because people just post things like "99 range" etc.

Still think it's pretty useless though.

[Rixion]

I put "I don't care"

Doesn't really appeal since I can tell what is a goal and what is an achievement without prefixes.

[Vennal]

idc rly

[RareWolf]

rmg without these i wud never be able to manage.

[IceNineKills]

no as i hate prefixes.
