[QUOTE="dammitbiscuit, post: 5977864, member: 60419"] This is a great discussion, but the limitations of XP and the sequential nature of forum posts makes it less useful for organizing and discussing a large number of ideas at once. If, for instance, a bunch of us have a bunch of ideas about [B]completely overhauling[/B] 4e (similar to what Pathfinder did for 3e, but with bolder, more aggressive improvements and changes) a better format might be useful. Discussion [B]forums[/B], like this one, reward spamming. Posting replies to your thread bumps it to the top, and can be used to bury other people's replies. [B]Reddit[/B], on the other hand, (or something like it), promotes the most interesting content regardless of number of replies. Moderation is in the hands of the users, who can downvote argumentative, repeated posts and upvote what it's interesting. That's essentially what I PM'd Pour a few days back, and he found the idea interesting, so I've created a [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/Fourthfinder/"]subreddit[/URL] for it and made him a mod. You can be a mod too, if you'd like - it's a group project! Submit and discuss any ideas you have for evolving 4e, cleaning up its years of errata, or even just poaching our favorite stuff from 5e. Upvote the interesting so it gets discussed (even if you disagree with it), then every week or two, vote on which of those submissions should be considered "core" for us. Edit: I just want to make clear that those rules, and the current description of the community, is mostly there as placeholder simply so things can get started. Just like the fixes and evolutions for 4e mentioned in this thread or posted in that subreddit, the subreddit itself is [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/Fourthfinder/comments/x7g5a/sidebar_info_etiquette_vision_overall_statement/"]up for discussion[/URL].
