View Full Version : Use of the Server Labels

This is beginning to irritate me, stop using the 360 or PS2/PC label on topics unless they actually address the platform specifically. If it is something like "where does item drop?", "Is this PA good?" or "Which mission has the best rewards?" (ie: things applicable to both servers) don't put the 360 or PS2/PC label on.

Why? Because that'll stop half the people how can answer your questions from doing so. With the server specific label on, one of the other server from you will assume it has nothing to with them, when they could have actually helped you. (assuing its on a non-server-specific topic like those examples in the first paragraph).

Topics about consul related glitches, hotspots or events for example do deserve the server specific label so use them there, but not on topics that can address both servers. Thank you for your time.

That's what everyone should do. Unfortunately, it happens everywhere, not just here, so it's hard to avoid.

Those labels have never stopped cross-console commentary, don't know what gave you that idea.

But other than that, I agree with you. It's dumb as hell having an Xbox-360 label on a thread asking where the casino is.
