This suggestion stems from my frustration the other day while trying to find a specific guide. As anyone who has tried to find something specific in Guide Tavern knows, it’s a bit of a mess. No it isn’t because Mason isn’t trying hard enough (although there are a handful of random question threads that I think should probably be trashed) but because

  • The rules regarding the creation of guides aren’t strict enough
  • Because of #1 the guides are often hard to read (English motherfuckers, do you speak it)
  • Because there is an excess of guides, unless you happen to know approximately where it is and who wrote it, or you’re lucky enough to have it featured in Cube’s list (which should be renamed to “A collection of some guides that were really useful and relevant back in the day and is now missing quite a bit of stuff”) they are really hard to find.

The solution?

  • Make stricter rules regarding guide formatting, including the following.
  • Must be in proper English – Full sentences, punctuation, grammar, LINE BREAKS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
  • Must not simply restate another guide, unless it can be argued that the second guide is superior for a number of reasons (more clear, more detailed, more advanced, updated to reflect gameplay changes, the former thread has an inactive OP, etc)
  • Video guides must include a [Video] tag with them (or have a video guide subforum). It was a pain going through these and finding a video guide when I was hoping for something I could just read.
  • Sort through guide tavern and remove/edit duplicate guides, out of date guides, inaccurate guides, guides that don’t meet formatting instructions above
  • Create a Guide Tavern Table of contents – Emlee despite our differences and disagreements you were a great staff member who did lots of great things. Arguably the Suggestion Box ToC was the best one of them. Although it took a huge amount of work on your part (probably 10-15 hours?) to get it started, maintenance is fairly easy. Honestly not that many new suggestions get made on a weekly basis, and not that many are confirmed/denied either. Generally they sit in limbo. Even fewer new guides are made than suggestions, and there are fewer existing guides to begin with.

To help with this process I’ve gone through every guide in here and categorized them into a couple different groups, indicated by a [Tag] in front of the suggestion. I've also done my best to include hyperlinks and descriptive names, although with ones I suggested trashing I usually didn't bother. If they're tagged [Update] or [Trash] I usually have a more specific critique or justification of them (ie out of date, inaccurate, literally impossible to read, etc)

Pros – This would make Guide Tavern a much more user-friendly place.
Cons – Would be a lot of work, except I already did most of it…

Post your opinions/suggestions/catcalling/autism below, here are my lists. To those whose guides I mention here, if you dislike my characterization of your guide feel free to try and convince me otherwise, but I stand by my opinion. If I mention your guide as lacking information, being unclear/hard to read, whatever feel free to ask me what specifically I’m referring to. I have nothing against people making guides. I just hate guides that either don’t tell the truth, skip important details or require some sort of gibberish to English translator.

Now, for a List of guides by category

Please, before this just gets locked/trashed by a mod who is going to tell me to let the moderators moderate how they want, at the very least consider it. Right now the Guide Tavern is not nearly as useful or friendly a resource as it should be. At the very least go through and trash the random questions/completely irrelevant guides/ancient and out of date guides so it is slightly easier to find stuff.

Hope you guys like it

i was attempting to create a guide of the average exp in each area to help people choose the best place to train. however pokemmo has changed the encounter rates from fr/lg and no one wants to post the new rates so i cant get the accurate information to finish it. without that info i cant finish it.

This looks great, Dannnno, and I appreciate the effort you put into this. I do believe Guide Tavern could use some new organization and some stricter rules. I also believe it could be purged of guides that are not useful such as ones that are incomplete/not going to be completed, false information, etc. Although it is difficult to determine this in every case, and a lot of things are pretty subjective this could be aided by setting up guidelines to guides (haha) and enforcing some new rules. 

 

Guide Tavern, like Suggestions Box, is a sub forum with one very specific use. I see no issue with moderating it closely as it's not a place for casual threads etc. Mason is a pretty nice guy and he likes to do his best, I can't seem him being opposed to at least a clean up (he can speak for himself though obviously haha), and I would suggest to staff that a second mod working with him might be useful if new rules are implemented (or at least encourage all Global+ moderators to help out in the sub forum much like they do in Suggestions Box).

Hey, I updated it the other day, all the information is relevant, I just haven't finished it yet.

BUT I WILL, IN DUE TIME.

 

Probably when I have less to do.

Both your guides are pretty good content wise, especially the second one.  My main issue with them is that they can be somewhat hard to read due to grammar/punctuation/spelling/(lack of) line breaks, etc.  

 

With the snorlax one I think there are a lot of other good tips for catching it, many of which are listed in the comments in the thread, that would be worth including in the thread.  As for the exp one it is pretty good as is, its just that in the thread you mention that you will be working on other locations and then you... Don't.  I think they're both good guides - they could just use touching up.

Thanks Emlee.  I agree that its pretty subjective, but presumably that is why Squirtle hires moderators - because he trusts them to act appropriately using their best judgement.  And I agree that it deserves at least one more moderator, and I think Mason has done a good job.  Its just that there are a lot of threads in there (and he also has to help with Trade Corner. I can't even imagine how much of a nightmare moderating that thing is), and everyone (except me lel) is busy with a lot of other things.  Like I mention in the OP I think most of the work will come in the beginning, from weeding out bad threads to better organizing existing ones.  Once it is all organized and nice it'll be much easier to stay on top of things.

haha I trust you, it's just that I know how ridiculously busy you are with other projects.  Combined with the fact that Atuan hides a little message about him helping you with it basically every other post I just figured I'd push the idea too :L

 

now get back to work

I actually haven't updated that since last update.
[spoiler]Get your shit together, Dannnno.[/spoiler]

Aside from that error, this is a great idea. I never really liked the state of guide tavern, and this pretty much fixes all the gripes I previously had.

Edit:

I updated it. Blame Darkshade.

I'm sorry for assuming that you had your shit together. I won't make that mistake again.

I have been thinking about stuff like this for a while. Originally when I first got Guide Tavern, anyone was allowed to write a guide about stuff and since the game was still really close to Fire Red Online, pretty much every guide was in a way relevant.

Now that probably 60% of the guides in Guide Tavern don't apply at all to PokeMMO in its current state I have been considering a cleanup. I thought some people might get upset about it, so it's the main reason I haven't put my foot down yet, but we'll have to see in the coming week or so then.

Also I'm sad that I just realised this thread, you should have talked to me Dannnno lol. But thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your feedback! I assumed that you had read it so I never talked to you about it directly :L. I thought about just skipping the suggestion phase and going straight to you, but I thought it might be worthwhile to get community feedback on the idea itself as well as the specific guides I talk about.

 

Glad to help though, and I hope it helps make GT a better place!

MrMasonMan only dwells within the caverns of the Guide Tavern you will know this for next time a guide tavern suggestion is suggested.
