Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-26388545-20180112154407

Every time there's an SE or LTS the board gets littered with unrelated comments. It can be annoying. However it is also a great time to attract new members to this forum, so we can't be short tempered. Althought the "how much to win car" comment gets old fast!

My guess is that people google the event name and end up on this forum. They can't figure out how to get to the Game Discussion board, so they just type their "I know this doesn't belong here but" comments in the event comments. Nearly every unrelated question that gets asked belongs on the Game Discussion board. I think one problem is that there is no easy way to get to the Game Discussion board from an SE or LTS. Got to The Perfect Storm page for example. There is no place that says Game Discussion board. There is a link in the top right corner to go to the forum, but people seem to miss this or don't know what it means.

Maybe what we need is a simple link in the small paragraph right above where people comment. It will be right above where they are typing so they SHOULD see it. Something like, "for other game related questions, go to the Game Discussion board"... something like that. Currently it says the following;

It's just a thought. No matter what we do, it will continue to some degree. However some new people are getting blasted when they really just don't konw where to go.
