That's actually more a question then a 'how-to' guide.
I was wondering what would be the best formula, or template, to make a suggestion/houserule thread.
As those who hang around these parts of the forum know, it's sometimes hard to get good visibility since after 3 hours of back and forth discussion (which should happen, really), the thread is already 3 pages long and sometimes hard for newcomers to join.
Since we cannot edit OP after the 1-hour window, how should a thread be formulated so that everyone may have a clear idea of the current state of the rule?
There's always the possibility of referencing the rule to a Google Docs or Similar Link early in the thread, which can conveniently be re-edited. I think authorizations can be set that others can edit as well (not sure if that's desirable 'though).
Also, some posters include their perceived problem(s) that prompted their houserule. Personally, I think that is helpful. Should that be spoilered, stated in a separate posts? Should Houserule thread have an 'opening statement' OP, or directly deal with the crunch of the rule?
Opinions?
