New topic templates now available

You may have noticed 2 links added to the top of the "New topic" page when starting a new topic. These links will load Topic Templates into the writing area.

Topic Templates are intended to act as a starting point for your topic post. The templates are not rules you have to follow, just suggested content to include in your post for common topics. Think of it as a checklist. You can edit, add or remove anything you want from the template.

1. Just click a topic template link and the template will be loaded.


2. Then just edit and write in the body as you normally would.


With all the tournaments and events being posted, and without any better system to standardize information, I thought a template would be a place to start. I don't expect this to solve any real problems, per se, (it might create some new ones) but if we start using it as a boilerplate, we'll be better off regardless.

You don't have to use a template at all, if you don't want...but I hope you give it a try. And I'm open to changing the templates if there's something missing you feel would be helpful - or if something should be removed because it's dumb. I'm open to all ideas.
