Confusion between various forums/threads

**ColonelPanic** · 05-03-2010, 09:53 AM

You see a lot of H3 threads where an H2 person chimes in mistakenly, and vice versa.

For example, the June H3 thread has a number of posts "We'll be at H2 in June from X-Y" and I'm sure that in most cases they just didn't realize they were in a thread for the resort they're not going to be at.

Any ideas on how either Chris, as the owner, or us, as a community, could make this more clear? Seems it would cut out a little bit of noise, but more importantly, would get people on the right threads so they get the responses they are looking for.

I should follow that up to say that I don't mean to segregate the people themselves; there's plenty of information that runs common between the two, and you shouldn't be prevented from posting or anything like that. I was thinking maybe having different forums with different color schemes, or maybe some sort of background that says H3 or H2, or something along those lines.

Good thought Colonel

However, I think that's just part of feeling your way around these boards. Newbies will be newbies and we still love em, even if they mix up their IIIs and thier IIs

When we go to www.4hedonism.com we get a recent post page. It show the threads but not were the section where they are located. I suspect that some people click on the tread without realizing were it is located. What bothers us about seeing those folks going to H2 posting the the June 2010 H3 thread is knowing we will not be with them in June.

I can see how it is easy to get confused or just plain not pay attention. You get to reading the threads and loose track when you comment. I am on both because we have been on both resorts...

Looks pretty simple actually, not sure how color coding something will work if they can not at least read. A simple mistake is usually not that big of a deal on the forums, or at least it has not been that big of a deal in our experience.

No, I certainly don't see any grumblings from forum members about how threads are accidentally hijacked. But I'd think it's better service to the community if the signal to noise ratio was improved.

The only effective way to do it would be for more active moderation and manual adjustment of the posts by the administrator. But with it appearing not to be a big problem here I just don't think that the cost:benefit ratio could be justified.
