Each post can only have 50,000 characters (and spoiler tags will take up a good portion of that space, and if we add any images or long explanations this space will go that much quicker)... it will likely be far more than just 1 post by the time we are done with it... and mods (to my knowledge) can't just add a post anywhere they want, since it always goes to the end of the thread. So as soon as they fill up that first post either stuff has to go or the next post will be divided from the rest of the stuff. It's why I suggest 2 threads... unless the mod wants to reserve the first 10 or so posts (If they do post 10 or so blank posts in a row and hope Claymore doesn't run for 10 more years thus requiring more than however many posts they reserved). Also what if the mod leaves... then a new mod just can't edit the other mods stuff. These are just some of the reasons why I say it's best to divide this suggestion up if the mods choose to do it.

Just throwing suggestions around, but maybe some sort of wiki would be a better medium for this than a forum. So instead of the glossary being a huge sticky thread, it might be better off as a one-post sticky that just links to the alphabetical index of a wiki with all this info.
You'd have version tracking and a revert button and all that fun stuff, and everyone would be able to add content instead of juggling two threads and bothering a mod/the OP about every change.

Nah; Wiki's are generally a bad idea, because everyone has their own viewpoint.
Their actually is a Claymore wiki, which is all but abandoned because of that very reason; you can't have a wiki for a story like this, because their is very little that is spelled out that everyone 100% agrees with. Even a wiki for terms...It would just get edited and edited endlessly...at least a forum gives everyone the opportunity to say why on the edits that they do.

On wiki you can also say why you want to edit sth and why sth was edited. But I agree, wiki is a bad idea. Obviously Wikipedia is out of the question so we would have to create our own or use Claymore Wiki that Shieky mentioned about. The problem is all of the abbreviations and most of names aren't even official but our own, created on Animesuki. Raciella - name created by tenken 2 years ago, ZACS (don't remember who created this one, gangsta?) aren't commonly used in other places than animesuki (if they are then only thanks to Animesuki memebers who frequent these other places also). But here it's like a canon now.
There are also discrepancies, for example what's the name of Teresa's technique? Pre-emptive youki sensing (PYS) or pre-emptive perception (p.e.p)? Plus the world of Claymore, while being quite coherent and interesting is a bit small IMO for a whole wiki. This forum IS the wiki of Claymore. |

Well I think not.... In fact i could say the 3 AOs are dead already... Dunno Luciella cuz she should be dead if didn't merge w/ Raphaela; but the AOs are just passed out from the story you know... I mean they had potential but indeed the 3 of 'em died insignificantly... at least for me. (maybe for Riful would say REASONABLE cuz Priscilla was much stronger) I think Yagi is messing up too much with the story right now creating new characters and all of 'em are such shrimps... (esp. the claymores from the new generation)

It's not exactly request for a new thread but for a poll in Claymore chapter threads. It would be nice to have a graphic representation of people's opinions of chapters just like it once was in Anime Episodes threads. I'm guessing that many people would be dissatisfied with current development but I'm more interested to see whether some people liked it for a change. IMO it was the best chapter in years.

Here, one sec
Spoiler for a:
2 things, 1. It is better to edit your original post rather than post additional comments one after another. 2. You should try posting this in the image thread since I am sure others would like to see your work and it does belong under images/art. |

This wouldn't be a thread where you could request a translation (or there could be, but if you don't like it there could be a rule against it). This would be a thread where there would be a translation. Often, during discussions we notice some ambiguity or unclearness of some dialogues/monologues/comments and often we receive an answer to it. This thread would be a place where all more difficult or debatable scenes could be found. If it didn't work out it could always be closed and moderated (where too long translations would be deleted) or the whole thread could be deleted. There's no harm in trying, is there?

I think this is a really good idea. Its quite problematic with ambiguity and misinterpretation by some TL's. This would enhance our experiences on the debates and leaves more room for discussion on TL in particular as this issue always get a heated debated in the current chapter thread.
About the time period of posting a chapter page: For me it makes sense to start a clear time period to debate and deliberate on choosing a TL page from a particular X chapter from X volume within a 1 weeks time. And the next week we proceed on debating for the chosen page for one week time limit. And repeat the process the next week. This way only a page is posted every other week and it encourages to engage in areas where most people have doubts within a controlled time interval and clearly define a rule to discuss on that particular weeks TL page. I realise this might require sometime to moderate or to control the off topics here but its worth the talk imho. I also like this idea as it could serve as a reference point to clarify some TL issues which could be deliberated here alone and not scattered on other threads. Hope this helps the process and help such a thread get started
