1. what is the deal with the sbooks section? It is all the way at the top of the homepage and seems pretty useless.
I believe this has to do with ads and affects revenues for the board, so this is a question for administrators.
2. what is the digest feature? A post getting on the digest grants you 10 karma, but I have never seen this feature being used?
I have not heard or used the digest feature. We can check with other senior members on how a post is chosen for "digest".
3. In the forum guidelines, some instructions are outdated. For example, members with under 300 credits have 30 RA.
We did change the RA requirements for a couple of titles, so this might be the result of that change. We should definitely keep it updated.
4. is there a feature to delete posts?
Mods can delete posts, but once you click post, I think you can edit your post for a certain amount of time, but then it is there for posterity.
5. a lot of the best polls in the mongering talk and lounge are from 2012, maybe we can have some new ones or annual polls.
Great idea! I like to see more polls and question/answer sessions in the Mongering Talk and Lounge sections.
6. the mongering talk and lounge areas seem to have the same function... maybe merge them or make their differences more clear?
I actually think it is OK to keep them separate, although I do see people occasionally post in the wrong forum. The difference is pretty simple: If it is related to PUNTING, post in MONGERING SECTION. If it is non-punting, then post in LOUNGE. Non-punting topics may include current events, finances, opinions on good books, etc.
7. The acceptance points being 1/20th of a credit actually makes them very pointless... I would get rid of this altogether. 1 karma for a basic rating seems better. Would encourage participation.
This I agree and have asked for a revision in the past, maybe to make 4 Acceptance = 1 Karma, rather than the 20 Acceptance = 1 Karma. It would encourage more people to post in the Mongering Talk and Lounge.
