I didn't know where else to put this so I guess this is the best place for this.
Is it just me, or is the Mattel forum just way to cluttered with so many of the same threads? For example, as soon as a new wave is released, someone rushes to start a new rumor thread about what the next wave is. Like, just chill, let RSC finish putting up the pre-order pages a little. And there's already a "I Just Bought" sticky thread, but yet we see thread after thread about someone's new purchase. It's gotten to the point where that's all that forum is about. I really think mods should be more strict about so much repetition so it actually looks interesting every time you go to that forum. Maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, but I gotta believe I'm not alone in this.

The Mattel board is literally the wild west of Wfigs. It's unmanageable and anyone willing to mod it is a saint.

It has been like that for a long time and it will never change.

One change I would definitely be in favor of is an official pickups thread. I know there is one for purchases without pictures. But I think the purchases WITH pictures should be streamlined as well. I know several people would balk because they wouldn't get the same attention and compliments they would with their own thread. But if those posts aren't clutter, I don't know is.
Plus, if they streamlined all those posts into one thread, they could merge the suggestions board into the main Mattel board. Somehow I get the feeling that suggestions board gets overlooked, if not ignored altogether by many members here including MDT. I've never seen Bill post in it during my time as lurker. I could be wrong on that, however.

Eh, it used to be a lot more congested back in the day.
I do like @fb 's idea of streamlining the pickups, have one dedicated thread and if someone has some kind of really big story to go along with how they found/got it then that can warrant a stand alone post. I'll recommend it to Jack and JCF.

I really don't mind seeing a thread about an existing figure if it's about like an issue someone noticed with it, but there's just way too many hypotheical threads what figures could be next, potential ring gear change, etc. I think having a rumors type of thread to put all that in would be better.

JCF doesn't get enough credit for having to put up with all that he does as the lone moderator of the board. Ever the saintly man he is, Johnny does the board's work.

Seriously, like 4 new threads about Goldberg. Has nothing to do with a released or announced released figure. All just speculation cluttering a forum about figures...

Here's an idea, how about either create a Speculations/Rumor forum so that section can be cluttered with useless threads like that, or just moving those threads into the Mattel Suggestion Forum, and let there be just 1 master thread for each wave, and if someone makes a random thread about their thoughts on a wave, move it into that master thread?

I'll admit to pitching enforcing use of the Suggestion Box, and Goldbergpocalypse 2k16 I cleaned up last night is a good back-me-up for that.

There are always a bunch of threads on the main Mattel board that should be in the Suggestion Box.
