New Tavern Layout

[not a pirate]

I can see recently, a lot of voodoo suggestions have flooded the recent forum topics in the tavern in-game. I propose that above the "Topic Title/Last Poster/Last post details" bar, we have three categories so new players can find the help the want, and the more experienced players can socialize and what-not in the community/tavern chat, while players that wish to propose voodoo and other game features can do that without flooding the tavern. The picture below has a picture of the current tavern with areas where the headers for the proposed categories might go. Just one click and you can switch categories. If a new player needs help, they can see guides without seeing confused voodoo suggestions. If Danik wants to talk about his donkeys, he can do so in the tavern chat without having to see boring player guides. If Gulere wants to propose more voodoo, he can do so without having the displeasure of reading about the Mexican's love for animals.

Example of what it might look like, with the red/green/white scribbles having the different section titles

I cant imagine why anyone would wish to avoid mention of donkeys... unless they are closet goat fans...

they already have things separated into categories. it's called clicking the "go to forums" button where you can see everything

Yes, but it would be much more convenient for a new player to see them in game instead of navigating through a forum, would it not? A lot of new players need help whenever they first join, and being confused by a forum or reading voodoo suggestions isn't really what they need.

there isn't much navigation. press "go to forum" and then press whatever category of chat you want. after that, you see all the threads

-1 to the idea

And it doesn't need to be just for new players. Quite frankly I don't care for the spamming of new voodoo, so it would be nice to filter it out. A majority of players don't even participate in the forums, so being able to actually read stuff pertaining to you might encourage more forum use. For example, I found a typo and was going to try to report it in a thread but it had been removed from the front page and replaced with forum games and whatever else..

It would be nice if the Tavern was expanded in some sense, but I don't think this is it.

There would be room to expand, this is the first step though. Being able to use it more conveniently. You guys all have experience, so you know how to navigate through everything and stuff, but the opinion of a new player that has not searched around the game yet would give more insight.

Yes, but the player guides go more in-depth.
