I believe that there should be a Subforum under the texture pack forum. It could go something like this..
Simple Texture Packs A place for any pack that would not be considered "Low-High Detail"
Detailed Texture Packs A place for any pack that would be considered "Low-High Detail"
Of course the subforum titles and info text can be changed I am just making an example.
This would probably stop at least 90% of the flaming that goes on and it would be easier
for everyone to find the type of texture packs you are into whether it be simple or detailed
packs.
This would also ease the congestion of both forums allowing new packs to get noticed easier.
If you support this then please reply with I SUPPORT and to keep this thread bumped to help it get noticed.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and if we squish all the nubs off into their own little forum, they'll never learn.
Plus it won't stop people from posting cheap packs or painterly remixes with adfly links in the regular forum.
That is true that everyone has to start somewhere, but some people purposely build simple packs, and a lot of them look really good.
Seperating the 2 forums is just for posting your packs, you can still enter either forum to look for tutorials and what not.
So creating two subforums is in no way making it impossible for new packers to learn, it may even make it easier since its giving them an area to look for the type they want to build.

Posting painterly or any pack remix will always be impossible to stop unless a mod stops it. But what I am trying to solve is easily solvable and thats the constant flame war that goes on between simple and detailed packs.
Arghhh you just don't get it do you? People only flame the simple packs that seems like no one put any effort in... How many times do we have to explain this ARGGGHH!
What counts as 'detailed' or 'simple' is very subjective. And there's really no point in separating the two into different subforums. People just need to learn to be polite.

Well I always hear people flaming about "simple packs need to gtfo they are taking up all the space, way to many are created blah blah blah"
I hear that same basic complain on almost EVERY 'simple' pack whether its good or bad.
Plus, even if this was not to solve flaming, it would still be useful to have both 'types' separated so that for one, its easier to find what you are looking for. And two, it eases up the amount of posts there would be in both forums and makes it easier for new pack makers to get noticed whether there pack is good or bad.

Again, the difference is subjective. And it's more of a gradient than a line. So, technically speaking, there isn't really any good way to separate all packs into two different piles.

Yes I know this, This would be for the creator of the pack to decide, if he/she makes a pack and thinks that it qualifies as a "detailed" pack then they should post it there. BUT if people/mods think that their pack does not qualify as a "detailed" pack then it can easily be moved to the "simple" forum.
although I like the idea of categorizing packs into sub forums for simplicity and easy navigation, it would never work realistically. like steelfeathers said, its subjective and would actually create even MORE flame between the two types. we would then have people claiming their pack as simple or realistic and other parties would claim vice versa. and so the cycle would continue, but now over 2 forum sections :tongue.gif:
What i've actually figured out to work the best, is:
for new posts that are either wrongly labeled, or containing improper naming, images, using other peoples images etc etc etc etc, the best thing to do is post ONCE and let it go. unfortunately we all have the nasty habit[i] [i included][/i] of beating a dead horse and in fact, prolonging the amount of time the ****-post stays on the first few pages. if someone has posted a reply which states what needs to be fixed or changed etc etc, dont bother posting the same info, or supportive comments.
I have a system were I do not post unless it is worthy of a post. To be worthy of a post the pack MUST have evidence of thought and work; or the pack has to be one that is so crappy that people actually like it and continue to keep it alive. Of course posting in the last one never gets anything done except give me the change to use my pile-o'-dung.gif :biggrin.gif:

just a thought :smile.gif:
Yea, I guess you are probably right. I am sure their is a way that could work, possible have to have your pack submitted to a group of people who will then look at a few pictures you send them and if it looks like you put some sort of effort into it, let you post it. or i dont know...
Simple Texture Packs
A place for any pack that would not be considered "Low-High Detail"
Detailed Texture Packs
A place for any pack that would be considered "Low-High Detail"
Of course the subforum titles and info text can be changed I am just making an example.

Thats what a lot of people would like to say, But, this is a thread thats is trying to solve the problem of flaming.
Yea, well change never happens to those who dont try.
So, its worth a shot.
Plus it won't stop people from posting cheap packs or painterly remixes with adfly links in the regular forum.
