Vapourware We need some way to separate cocktease threads from the rest in gaming forums

[Multiple Sarcasm]

I can never tell from a thread title if a game has been released or not, and keeping track of each one's status is an obvious huge 'sperging waste of time.
Because of that I either keep missing interesting new games already out in the wild or keep stumbling into threads promising endless tactical TB RPG C&C orgasms for all eternity... but years from now. Always years from now. Or Thursday.

So I thought a sub-forum for unreleased games under each "genre" (Classic, AAA+, Weaboo, MMO, GG, Strategy, Adventure) would come handy to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Shouldn't be too much hassle for someone to notify a moderator on a game's release to move its thread to main forum - hell knows it doesn't happen that often.

Whaddyathink - yes/toomuchwork/retardo?

 

[Infinitron]

If you feel a thread name is misleading, report the thread and ask a mod to rename it.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

I'm asking for a way to save time. Continuing to waste it and adding more by reporting to moderators is hardly the solution.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

So basically you want another 7 sub-forums?

Whaddyathink - yes/toomuchwork/retardo?

Retardo.

Then how about a tag, like a red "Unreleased"? I somewhat doubt it's foolproof, but better than nothing.

 

[mondblut]

"Vaporware" prefix tag for unreleased games. Simple and obvious solution.

Mucho butthurt from Fargo and MCA fanclub because their best ever unreleased game is tagged vaporware is an added bonus

 

[villain of the story]

I have a simpler solution. Ban Multiple Sarcasm: no more demand for separate forums or standards.

Though I must admit that this:

made me chuckle.

Prefix.

To be honest, I think that would be a more viable solution. Not really convinced it's a big problem though.

 

[Ulminati]

Ban multiple sarcasm. Problem solved.

Nah, not big, just something that bothers me regularly. So I thought: better to ask than not, eh? In case more people thought the same way or it was less trouble than it was worth.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Ban multiple sarcasm. Problem solved.

 

[Irenaeus]

I find that trying to make sense of game megathreads is part of Codex's magic.

 

[Jaesun]

Under Development tag I think would be better.

 

[DraQ]

Under Development tag I think would be better.

"Vapourware" has more charm, though.

 

[tiagocc0]

Vapourware! So I can use it on my own threads!

 

[mondblut]

Under Development tag I think would be better.

To 'Watch with you!

"Vaporware" is the proper Kodexxxian way.

 

[Excidium]

"Vaporware" or "Vapourware" decide yourselves

 

[villain of the story]

British spelling FTW.

 

[DraQ]

GIF alternating between those two.

Slowly.

 

[villain of the story]

Stuff of nightmares. Like watching your British wife of monocle stock getting raped by decadent murican pigs.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I have added an appropriate tag.

 

[Spectacle]

I think the color is wrong on the new tag. A light blue-gray would be more appropriate.

 

[villain of the story]

It reminds me of a toxic cloud so I think it's fine.

 

[mondblut]

The tag was proposed not for the purpose of singling out Grimoire. Mr. Jaesun, how about using your thread-merging and thread-moving obsession to an useful end and adding it to all the Kickscammer threads?
