Weekly Threads

That time of year again where we look forward to another season. For us admin here at the forum it means a regular slew of threads that are produced every week like clockwork to maintain order and harmony. This thread is a FYI to everyone to let you know when and why we schedule threads.

All threads are made days, weeks and even months ahead of time to release at a specific time. These times are chosen to coincide as closely as possible to when they are needed so they dont get lost down the thread list when people are trying to find them.

Its important to remember that most of the weekly threads are locked when the next thread in the list is open. You can find details on lock out times below. Most of you will be familiar with this. All efforts are made to move relevant discussion to the next threads so replies are possible.

During the start of the season these times may vary as threads are created before the scheduled ones are released. Such threads may be renamed to keep them in line with our standard threads.

Warriors Team List thread
Tuesday 3pm NZST
This thread is locked on game day.

NRL Round X discussion thread
Tuesday 3pm NZST for Round 1. Every other round Thursday 6pm NZST.
This thread is left open indefinitely unless there are too many off topic posts.

Warriors Game Day thread
Game day 7am NZST
This thread is locked ASAP after the final whistle. This usually 5-10 minutes after the game.

Warriors Post Match thread
Game day 5-15 minutes before the final whistle.
This thread is left open indefinitely unless there are too many off topic posts.

Warriors Pick Your Team thread
Game day 3 hours after kick off or 1 hour after final whistle.
This thread is locked after the official team list is announced.

Any questions please comment below but this is just standard procedure that we have had running ever since ever since.

Just a couple answers for the most common FAQ.

Threads are locked to stop cross commenting across multiple threads such as people using the team list thread for everything from game day to post match.

Multiple threads for the same game are used to split topics up so they can found much easier in the distant future. So someone in 2035 doesnt have to wade through 30 pages of posts to find the team list or 150 pages to found out how people felt after the game etc.

Threads are scheduled so there is always the correct thread at the correct time to make the user experience easier and more uniform from release times, thread names etc. We also link all threads to match media so it makes that process much easier as well. It also allows admins to make them when we have the spare time to do so as other unimportant non Warriors related stuff like family, work, eating and personal hygiene routines get in the way.

This was proudly brought to you by the letter W and the number 95.

Better living everybody...
