READ FIRST - Sardelac Sanitarium Forum Guidelines
In order to further streamline the rules and guidelines for this forum, the original guidelines thread has been re-written, in the hope that it will help forum users better understand the rules. Please note that these guidelines are in addition to the general forum rules which can be found here.
1. Search!
Always use the search button before posting a new thread to see if your ideas been suggested before. it is also advised that you check the stickied index of ideas to check if your idea has already been posted.
2. Posting Similar Ideas
If your idea is a slight change of another suggestion that's already been suggested, don't post a new thread on it, post it in the existing thread and continue the discussion over the general idea.
Please refrain from claiming that a specific suggestion has already been brought up unless you can locate the thread for that suggestion.
3. Use Relevant Thread Titles.
Make sure your thread titles list your idea. Don't post threads with vague titles like "Greatest Suggestion Yet" when only in your post do you discuss your suggestion. Make sure your thread title states your idea, to keep things organized and less confusing.
4. Do Not Bump Threads for no Reason
The practice of posting simple 'bumps' to threads when nobody is responding is discouraged here, and threads seen being 'bumped' without good reason and nothing new to add, will have the offending post deleted, or may be closed. If you are going to 'bump' a thread, do so after a reasonable amount of time, and let your 'bump' post contribute something to the thread rather than simply taking the thread up to the top of the forum.
5. Post One Idea Per Thread
Do not post "A Few Ideas" threads. If you have more than one idea ---first double check with the search button and the index thread to make sure they're fresh suggestions, and create a separate thread for each one with a relevant title.
6. Post constructively
If you like, or dislike an idea, please give reasons why. A minimum character limit has been put in place to help encourage this, and will be enforced by moderators as they see fit. Discussions in threads outwith the topic of the thread will, in most cases, lead to post deletion, or complete thread derailment may result in closure.
7. Reporting Bad Posts
If you feel a post breaks the rules, is inappropriate, or is an advertising thread, please use the Report button to bring it to the attention of the Sardelac Sanitarium Moderators. Do Not use it as a reason to post spam.

And if nothing is done about it, consider that we may not have agreed with you on the subject. Perhaps we found nothing wrong with the post you reported.

Bumping old threads in Sardelac Sanitarium, with the aim to renew the discussion, or adding to old discussion is allowed providing the idea posed in the thread has not already been implemented. If you feel someone has bumped a thread unnecessarily, please report the thread. Do Not begin posting messages "heckling" people as Thread Necromancers - this is considered spam and will be deleted.
9. The 12-Character Rule
There is a minimum requirement of 12-Characters per post on this forum. This is in place to discourage users from simply posting "/signed" or "/notsigned". Do Not try to bypass this rule by posting symbols, numbers, or offtopic spam. All it takes is one or two sentences explaining why you do or do not agree with the idea posed in the thread. If threads become inundated with people wanting to simply sign an idea, a Poll may be added. If you use the poll, there is no requirement for you to make a post telling us what you selected on the poll. Polls are put up to try to discourage the posting of spam, or +1 posts.
10. "It'll Never Happen!"
Due to the current situation in Guild Wars itself, several people have been seen posting replies to threads stating that users might as well not make suggestions for Guild Wars: 1 because ArenaNet will likely not take any notice, or implement anything else. Sardelac Moderators would like to remind you that this is a place for discussion, and to share ideas, regardless of how likely they are to be implemented in GW:1.
11. Use of Polls
Users in this forum are welcome to create polls in order for others to show their support. We suggest users form a poll with (at least) an option to Agree with your suggestion, an option to Disagree, and when appropriate an option to neither agree or disagree. We ask users to be responsible when creating Polls and make both the question and the options clear. If a Moderator deems your poll to be unclear, or offensive, it may be edited or removed. If you voted on the poll there is no need for you to post simply stating how you posted. This will be considered spam and will be deleted. Remember, if you wish to post, please post constructively and add to the discussion rather than posting to simply increase your post count!
12. Guild Wars 2
If you have any suggestion for Guild Wars 2, please take it to the Primordus Visions forum of GuildWars2Guru.com. Ideas for Guild Wars 2 posted in this forum may be deleted. Thank you for your cooperation.
RULES AGAINST /SIGNED SPAM POSTS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED IN POLL THREADS. YOU MAY NOT COMMENT ON CURRENT POLL RESULTS, ONLY ON THE CONTENT OF THE TOPIC ITSELF. SPAM POSTS WILL BE DELETED ON THE SPOT AND YOU WILL FACE THE WRATH OF THE FORUM MODERATORS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE NOT TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES AFTER A POLL HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED INTO A THREAD.
Happy Posting!
