"Admin wants you to view a thread before you can continue browsing the forum"

[Special]

Well it's to help the forum & it's confidential so i personally don't see the problem lol. I also don't think it's pointless but if that's what the staff want you to read then it wont be pointless anyway

You can't do anything about it so i don't see the point in moaning tbf

[Recursion]

i was going to make a thread on this but it was too much effort so didnt

it'd be better if like you werent actually forced to read it. just a message comes up telling you the title of the thread and a link to it or else you can just ignore it and do whatever
or just use the notice thing at the top of the forum for it

Quite like this idea tbh

and @ Special, the whole idea in the feedback forum is that we CAN change things...

I was going to post too but didn't for the same reason as you as it only takes a few minutes to read it.

There are never really usually this many in a row, in fact usually they are quite sporadic. It just so happened that we created a feedback poll, something which we always force read as we want as many votes as possible to try and give us a better idea rather than just say 20 votes. After that we got 40 votes in 10 minutes, which isnt bad going and helps us a lot more. It just happened to be at a time where a few other important announcements have been made. To be fair one of the last three force reads were unecessary in my opinion, but they will be kept to a bare minimum and used as a necessity.

And in this case, it will

Possibly to look at the age range so some of the filtered words can be unfiltered

[Hecktix]

The whole point of a force read is so you have to read is so giving you the option wouldnt really work.

I dont think they should be used for threads such as how old are you though, although this could be being used for important purposes, I don't know I haven't spoken with Sam about his thread.

[Recursion]

Well what should happen is we could be informed of the thread title and then given two buttons, one to proceed to the thread or one to go back to where we were before.

It takes like 30 seconds out of what you were doing, if that, its hardly strenuous in my honest opinion. If you forget what you were doing before it, then I guess it wasn't that important

Hence I didnt make a thread moaning.

Person can always press back to get back to what they were doing.

If they cant remember, its usually either what you said - not important or too dumb.

They didn't really bother me until today, but that was the 3rd of 4th this week and it's rather annoying. In my opinion, they should only be used for very important rule ammendments, not petty "filter changes" and "how old are you?"

pasta's idea of just using the notice option at the top of the forum would be better for those types of threads..
