I am pretty much entirely anti-merger. It just brings confusion to older discussions, which is the opposite of what we want to achieve. I am not sure the mergers are particularly necessary either. I mean, the suggested mergers are mostly of small, relatively unimportant threads anyway and after the re-categorization there won't be as much clutter to shift through anyway. The suggested merger and deletion category is quite small already. We can discuss those details after we actually have sorted these threads.Ko9 wrote:I do not believe you get Ant, Apoc. I think Ant wouldn't, if I re-call correctly, like the existing ones being merged or parts deleted. I am not sure about both because I think both of them (Again if I re-call correctly) are the ends of a longer range of things to do.
I'm not sure I understand completely what you want to propose, and this is partially because you lumped it all into one giant paragraph and are plastering it with ellipses (...).Ko9 wrote:Then I would like to hear what people thinking about my proposal for the layout.

One thing you need to work on with these replies is make clear what you're talking about, especially when you switch from one thought to another. Like here (which can also be a separate paragraph):Ko9 wrote:And I hope I worded my arguments well in this discussion.
Nowhere is it explicitly clear that you're talking about the Dutch note lists. Even though people can figure that out by scrolling back up, mentioning it can help tie your reply together. It also becomes harder to read when you refer to them entirely via pronouns. You could do something like:Ko9 wrote:I like the last part you said, saying that there is no discussion, and more just information. That is interesting, so I would like to choose one of these (I am just a member of the forum and I would like to hear other opinions than these two) I would like it deleted
And then say which one (presumably the Covert Front one if there's no Wiki space available for it, I would assume). Now you're actually mentioning what you're talking about and it's much easier to read.Ko9 wrote:Regarding the notes threads, I would like to choose one of these to delete.
Leave stuff like this out. You often write variations of this as well at the end of whatever you're arguing, and it's frustrating because it comes across as though you're trying so hard to weigh every opinion equally and "see both sides" that you end up making whatever you argue for look weak. It's okay to take a stand on one side and say "I would prefer this would happen" and not immediately undercut it with "but I understand if other people want to do this instead". Don't be scared about it. This entire topic is about making decisions, so you can do without trying to please everyone when you're putting forth your own opinion on something.Ko9 wrote:I see for both arguments for or against/That is just my opinion
