"Transport Tycoon" forum section

[FooBar]

I noticed that a lot of posts in the Transport Tycoon section and especially the Transport Tycoon Deluxe forum and the Problems forum are posted there by mistake and should have been posted in the TTDPatch or OpenTTD section instead. I have some simple suggestions to hopefully reduce this.

As you can have links in the forum description, I suggest adding links to the TTDPatch and OpenTTD suggestions there, to hopefully make clear that people are about to select the wrong forum and point them to the correct place instead. So for the Transport Tycoon Deluxe forum, the description could be changed to "Talk about the sequel to the original TT, Transport Tycoon Deluxe. For TTDPatch go here and for OpenTTD go here instead.".
For the problems section, something similar can be done: "Problems with Transport Tycoon? For TTDPatch problems go here and for OpenTTD problems go here instead.".

These two sections consist mostly of moved topics and this is an easy fix to reduce this phenomenon. No need for any automatic movement

I second that

Its a good idea, but the only problem is that the odd noob may post there without even reading, so the links would need to be somewhere where they stand out.

My automatic movement theory was better though!


EDIT: My 1100th post! I missed my thousandth, so there we go!

Yes, the odd noob will always remain. Those people will also somehow manage to work around your "automatic movement" suggestion

Oh, and congrats on your 1100th post. I don't even know how many I have

I think that reporting them and a mod move them is a bit better then trying to make people click on the good one. (As they will still post in wrong section )
