Community Generated Content Category Explainer

ZOS_Kevin

Hi All. With the Forum Category Restructure underway, we want to update you on this new section and how you can better operate within this section. This is the new Community Generated Content Category. It is replacing the following categories: Player Guides, Community Creations and Roleplay. However, these sections will be archived and accessible through this category. You should see the archives listed on the top of the section. Additionally, we moved the last year's worth of content from those archived categories to this new category.

This change is based on feedback we received from our forum user survey at the beginning of the year. The main point of feedback we received reflected that there were too many categories and that it made it harder to find new discussions to engage in. The current restructure effort is to address that issue and provide a better experience for forum users.

For easier use, please make sure to use brackets (i.e. [Topic Name]) in your discussion title, if you would like readers of this section to know the specific topic you are talking about. So for example, when you would like to talk about fan fiction, make sure to start your discussion title with [Fan Fiction] or [Fiction]. Another example is for player guides, you can use brackets in the title noting [Player Guide]. This is optional, but should help readers as they go through this category.

We hope this is helpful as we try to consolidate the amount of forum categories currently available. We'll also be monitoring feedback and can make adjustments as we go along. Thanks all for your patience as well work through this restructure.
