It may but it is up to Rob on this and I think he's busy at the moment? I just moved a lot of help posts from there.

good idea but the name should be changed then because general encompasses everything

General Google Chrome Discussion (no help posts please)

*sigh* i hate semantics

How about...

General Google Chrome Discussion
Chrome Related Convo That Doesn't Fit Elsewhere (Check First!)

I feel the same way but it's leading to a lot of misplaced posts and it's hard to hold people accountable when, technically, they are putting the post in the right spot by definition.

Such is the life of a forum moderator/owner.

Exactly Digital....

[gecho]

how about chrome news and reviews instead of general discussion

[Charlie]

That'll work as well.

Non-technical Chrome News & Views ??

In my experience it's best to make the definitions right to the point of what you expect to be in the forum. Don't try to get creative or quippy, just tell the people what to expect in any given forum.

The creative stuff is great for small tight communities, but fortunately/unfortunately Rob was the first to the punch on this and has to accept the responsibility that follows it which is a potentially massive community that needs clearly defined rules and guidelines, especially considering that some of the user base is not going to be primarily English speaking.
