General Complaints, pt. 6
Forums need to be clustered. There are way, waaaay too many forums. Let's merge some. I don't have the energy to type up the full suggestion again. Someone else can do it.
I have a new suggestion, though. Before someone writes a post in a love advice forum, there should be some flash warning/notice above the "Post New Thread" screen that gives them reminders on how to ask proper advice. Here's one I typed up that may be a good starting point:

Tips for getting the best advice in your thread:
1. Be sure to specify your age and sex, and the age and sex of any other parties involved. All too frequently, the advice changes based on these variables.
2. Use proper spelling and punctuation to the best of your ability.
3. Use paragraph breaks. None of us want to read a huge block of text.
4. If your post is particularly long, include a brief, 1- to 2-sentence tl;dr summary at the bottom.
5. Don't be vague! None of us understand the context as well as you do, so give us helpful information.
Remember that this is a free forum, and we give advice in our free time. Your mileage may vary.
