General Discussion + Help Booth

Do you guys think that it would be a good idea to move the "general discussion" segment of the Main Series to the top of that section would be a good idea? Since people don't see it since its tucked away at the bottom and just post help threads in the game sections, which does make sense, but it leaves us FF section mods and the Gmods with a lot of threads to move..

Ideas + Feedback please

Yes.
I personally moved the help forums up to the top of FFH and that's already made a clear difference. So do it here.

I agree, good idea. I keep seeing quite a few threads around in the General section asking for help. It seems new most members haven't bothered to look at the Help Booth section.

To be fair, actually, it doesn't take an awful lot of effort to read forum descriptions.

Yes, but it seems like an awful lot of people are making threads in the wrong sections multiple times, sometimes even creating a dupe thread because they think their threads dissapeared because they don't notice the help booth. It would be helpful if General discussion and all it's subheadings were brought to the top of main series IMO, i just wanted to see what you guys thought, because im all about the members

Yes but help booth is there for a reason. It takes common sense to realize when you click in a section and see threads that are about the game plot, and how you did this and that etc. There aren't any threads in those sections saying: 'Hai I need help with Omega Weapon plx!' It just takes common sense to be like: "Oh well, seems like no one makes threads that are asking for help, I guess there is a help section?"

And 90 percent of the thread in the help booth are by noobs.
New people don't read forum descriptions and just post in the forum that says what they want.

Ehhh, true no one reads rules. I still think it's rather rude people barge in here and make a 'I NEED HELP' thread.

I'm for this. There's far too many inept members walking around not knowing where generally low-grade threads go, polluting sections with valid discussions within them in the process.

It sounds like a good idea. Maybe give it a trial run.
