(PSN)XxDarkyanxX Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Only DE members uses the Megathread tag, ( I mean you technically can put it up, but it'll be removed by a Mod once seen ) it's mostly used after new big updates that require quite a lot of feedback and will see an intake of multiple threads merged into one. Well the short version of it is : You don't need to worry about it. Edited July 25, 2017 by (PS4)XxDarkyanxX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Only DE members and community moderators are supposed to use it. They'll remove it from your thread if they see you using it on your own. Basically it is used to denote that that thread is supposed to be basically the one for discussing a given topic and other threads about the topic will just be merged into it. This is done to avoid spawning 30+ threads about the same topic and having way too splintered discussion about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doppelganger on Overwatch asked the same question a few months ago. All the 'witty' and informative replies are just as relevant on this forum. Or you could google "what is a megathread" and read the top responses. Edited July 25, 2017 by Xekrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 A megathread is where com mods dump repeat topics in an attempt to keep the forums from being overrun by 53 "when is Excal Umbra coming?!1!" topics. It's supposed to reduce clutter and centralize conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sziklamester Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Megathreads happen when they releasing a new content and they need a feedback section for it but megathreads can be happen when the playerbase is angry and bashing or critizing threads merged into one big. Most of these survive only 1-2 page before locking but usualy the first and what the peoples above said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)purpleskullgamin Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Alright so i wouldn't be able to use it for a suggestion post regarding the four elemental frames and Buffs/QoL changes/ Nerfs if I was too make one eventually seeing as it's DE specific. Even though it'd end up being a thread of decent length and it's nice to know i have a doopleganger on Blizzard's site guess I'll just have to stick my account name i already have over there can't even remember which one it was haven't played any blizzard games in awhile.
