New posting rules for the Data Editing Forum

[archibalduk]

Given that a high proportion of posts made on the TBL Forums relate to data editing and rosters, it makes sense for the Data Editing Forum and the Rosters Forum to be separate forum from the Game Addons Forum (as opposed to being sub-forums). We have therefore moved these directly under the EHM Forum section.

As users will be aware, we have always encouraged users to post related questions in the same thread in order to avoid flooding a forum with numerous topics covering the same subject. However, given the complexity of certain aspects of data editing (such as editing/adding playable leagues), we have relaxed this rule specifically for the Data Editing Forum and encourage users to post new threads for queries unless their question is very closely linked to an existing thread. For instance it is no longer necessary to post all schedule editing queries under the existing “Creating and editing schedule templates / schedule dates” thread. In the case of the Data Editing Forum only, the rule is now: If in doubt, start a new thread. We hope this approach might help others find answers to existing questions when forum searching, rather than having to trawl through a 60+ page thread.

Similarly, the EHM Editor thread is now for bug reports and feature requests only. Any other questions on the EHM Editor should be posted in a separate thread(s).
