Prefix in Music forum

[Special]

when making a new thread in music, i think their should be a prefix for what genre of music they are discussing is (pop, rock, country, club etc)

this way people will know what the context of the thread is before clicking on something that might not be of intrest to them

Thread closed by Nicola (Forum Super Moderator): To avoid further arguments and the issue seems to have been resolved.

Agreed. Would be pointless to be honest

what he said.
to satisfy everyone, there would have to be so many prefixes that it wouldn't be worth it.

The amount of pre-fixes that would have to be created is just too much. You may as well keep as it is to be honest! I doubt people would even use them that much either.

you wouldn't have to include them all, perhaps 5 basic ones that cover most genres

It's a nice idea in a way but a bit impractical. As has been said there are dozens of different genres but at the same time, pretty much every thread would end up prefixed 'Pop' or 'RnB' and it's pretty easy to tell from thread titles anyway.

Prefixes are most effective when there are fairly few. For instance, the TV & Film forum is a great example because I go there mainly to check out movie threads so I can immediately see all the movie-related threads. But if there were loads of different prefixes they would just look too cluttered and it would defeat the object.
