How would what work? I don’t know if you’re referring to the idea I mentioned or the usual way we format our signup threads? But for the idea, yes, I agree with you—it would be pointless to add the CS to the signup thread with no prior info. So I’d definitely recommend that you have a lil blurb of info in your OP—usually, each thread of an rp has a little plot thing. It’s not required by any means, but I think people just like having info about the rp being easy to access! And in that lil blurb in the OP, you could have it clearly put that you don’t want people to make reserves there, and input a link for where they could instead go to make reserves. Worst comes worse and they post a reserve, you could just tag me and I could move the post to the appropriate thread just so it’s nice and neat 
Ahh okay, I see, I didn’t know that! There’s no problem with that, we have several “signup” threads that serve as both signup and chat threads—its definitely just a matter of preference. But—and not sure if I haven’t already made this clear—you could 1000% have a thread for just OOC if you wanted! That’s what Brooke meant when she said chat thread. Anyways, if the reserves for this is already full, then I have to ask what is the point of this thread? Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but rp full = no more reserves to reserve right? So could it be closed?
I do have to mention though that it’s encouraged for users to have OOC stuff, like, in public whenever possible, just cause it does help a lot with forum activity. And activity is always très bien aha
No worries, I don’t think you’re coming across as stubborn! I think the setup here is just different from what you’re used to, so I get the curiosity~ ^.^
