Star Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I thought about it and instead of randomly updating quests or guides that WE think of, why not let the vieuwers decide? I mean those are the ones that need it (and all of us ofcourse) :P What I mean is that, like let's say there is an oudated quest or perhaps one with old pictures - which sometimes can be confusing/anoying. The person vieuwing the guides could push a button to tell us to 'please update this guide | w/e' and perhaps the ability to write abit more information on what needs updating. ^ The only bad thing could be that trolls will go on a spam war, but trolls will be trolls. This also could be used to let people help us if they want, they could tell us in that information what is wrong with the guide. This could be handy for people that don't have an account on the forums. :D EDIT: a place for us sals members to see what is wanted could be nice - so that we can all contribute! I mean Now I don't really help with guides and such because I don't know which one or what is needed.. Made me think of it in the first place. Well be sure to post constructive thoughts! :( Edited January 12, 2012 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethraw Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I kind of like this idea; though I'd prefer if there was the option to directly submit your own update and have it reviewed using this feature. That being said; we already made a "request update" and not too many seemed to notice Dx http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/inde...howtopic=354484 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) There is such a button? °_° where must've hidden it really well then.. Oh and don't shoot me but that topic.. looks chaotic.. O_o seriously it does.. Oh well wanted to shout out my thoughts! ^^ EDIT: LOL why the hell did you put the update thing in the options thingy.. °_° I always ignored it since that was to update your own things.. nicely done, never even knew .. I only found it beause you said there was one! holy moley. I can see why none have noticed. :( [/trolling] I was more having an idea like.. Big red square before quests guide starts: "If you find anything incorrect or want to add information click here". Or perhaps at the top of all quests. Instead of submitting a total new guide wouldn't a small bit be enough? I mean sort of a fix/add instead of new one made.. Don't think alot of people would do that anyways.

Jethraw Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No, there is no such button :P I'm saying the topic is the request update! :D And leave my baby alone :( she tries, she tries! And a small bit is enough, that's realistically what the Updates&Corrections subforum is for, you can submit an entire guide, a paragraph, a picture, a line, anything really, so long as it's of a high quality! I like your idea though, perhaps a "if you have any updates or corrections to make to this guide, please post them here" button at the top of each guide? I don't really think it's entirely fair to request an update and not be willing to do it yourself, especially as if you're needing the updated guide, presumably you'll be doing the quest :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Some are not on these forums but do use our guides, forcing someone isn't fun is it? Others can't be bothered with updating, but they want the best quality.. Now as a RSFansite isn't that our goal? total domination? I have finally found the button. When on a questpage hover over options -> Submit an update. My idea exists already.. Yet hard to know it was there. Personally would suggest a button next to options.. :( Edited January 12, 2012 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethraw Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Some are not on these forums but do use our guides, forcing someone isn't fun is it? No, it isn't, but the information in the guides is by-and-large correct, the core principles for quests haven't changed very much over the year. As such, most of the updates needed aren't massive, and you aren't being forced. You have the option to either do it or don't, but you shouldn't expect someone to do the work for you. Others can't be bothered with updating, but they want the best quality.. And that doesn't strike you as a little selfish? :( I want the best, but I'm not willing to do anything for it. It's a two way street, if you catch my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Don't bully me! :P And yes I understand it all too well. :D I'll wait patiently for the button. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heb0 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In the right hand corner of guides, under the "options" button, there is a feature that allows members to submit an update. While this isn't exactly the same as a "Request Update" button, it can be used in the same manner if you just want to say "X part of this guide is outdated because of Y."

O hai im KAMIL Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well we all know that most guides are outdated, so a 'Request an Update' button would be useless and selfish. Instead of requesting something be done, why not do it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
