No "Requests for new threads" threads for Current/Older Series
Every once in a while, somebody posts a thread about a finished or currently running anime in the Upcoming Series sub-forum. Obviously it doesn't belong there, and it's eventually moved to the Current Series or Older Series sub-forums.
Wondering why this was the case, I checked the Older Series and Current Series sub-forums and found out that there is no "Requests for new threads" thread for either sub-forum! Clicking the 'new thread' button will redirect to this message: Quote:
The worst thing we can do is just leave this unspoken anomaly up in the air. |

^There's a rule or a post somewhere explaining that posts should be made exactly to where you think they don't belong : To the upcoming series. By doing so, and then reporting it to a moderator, it will be moved to the appropriate area.
Though I do wonder why is it exactly Upcoming Series subforum and not somewhere else. Hell, could even create a new subforum just for this purpose..

So for now, as was said, given the infrequency of this need, we've just been telling people to post it in Upcoming and then report it to be moved. Obviously it's not ideal, but again, it's not a common issue so we have been willing to live with the slight awkwardness. Maybe there's a different solution too, but we haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it. Maybe I'll just create a "Request for New Threads" sticky that you can't actually post in but explains the aforementioned procedure, if that'll solve it.

Okay, great -- I posted the sticky now. We might wordsmith it again later, but it should hopefully get the point across and reduce this confusion. Thanks again for the feedback.
