Project Suggestions for OMM Improvement

[Clas]

OP stolen from OM forum.

This thread is meant to mimic some of the "New Direction" thread's functionality from the ORAS forum. Essentially, we want a place where people can post with suggestions on how to improve OM Mashups. This community is full of people with creative ideas and is built off of the backbone of these ideas, so it is silly for us not to solicit your input. That said, just because you provide a suggestion does not mean we'll implement it.

Here's the rules/expectations for posting in this thread:

1) We (the moderation team) will read everything that is posted here, but we will not respond to every suggestion posted. We'll implement suggestions we agree with or things we think will help OM as a whole.

2) Sarcastic posts will not be tolerated. This thread is for serious suggestions that you think can improve the community.

3) Do not make suggestions that go above your level of authority.
e.g. don't post about "promote x to mod" or "make <insert meta> spotlight". These are things we put a great deal of thought into and have well-formed opinions/ideas on. If you have a suggestion and you're unsure about whether it violates this rule pm me about it on PS before posting.

4) It is fine to comment on another suggestion to offer feedback, but your post must be substantive! No one-liners. Like a post if you agree with it and don't have anything to add.

Remember, your posts should be suggestions, not demands; and the content of your post should highlight why your suggestion would improve OM in general, not just a specific sub-community.

I would like to suggest that we have something akin to an OMM “work in progress” room. Similar to the Metagame Workshop, a thread where folks can suggest their unofficial OMM ideas before they end up in the Index or the Megathread could be useful. This could act as a place to not only gauge interest in the concept (especially for people who want to find a council to support them) but also gives a place to discuss initial banlists and strengths/flaws of a Mashup without crowding the Megathread. That way the Megathread could be focused on just posts for the Mashups, the Index could potentially be reserved for announcements, and the new resulting thread would be the place for discussion, conversation, and the building blocks that would lead to the creation of more OMMs.

This could also build a way in the future for more OMMs to be considered “official” in Gen 10 if we have a more documented process of their creation.
