specific location for the application/ welcome posts?

Suggestion Format

1. State your suggestion, providing as much detail as possible. 
I have a suggestion that there could be a specific place for recent applications and welcome messages, instead of the 'today's posts' section. Maybe a filter system where they can be visible or invisible to a person if possible... so that supports and higher ranks can see the applications, and the lower ranks e.g. members and scouts can choose to be able to see them?

2. Provide the possible benefits of your suggestion.

the benefits are that navigation for recent posts is more convenient to get to ... I do not wanna come across as whining but i recently went to today's posts and there was a whole page filled with applications and welcome threads, and no other posts at all. making maybe a filter system for these posts that separates welcome/application posts from normal posts would be very beneficial to people that would like to get started in viewing posts that are, for example, gaming related, other than a bombardment of welcome posts.

thank you, and apologies if I come across as whining

Honestly I think this could be helpful as well. It wouldnt flood up "Todays Posts" as much, Ive thought about this but I think this is a great one to be completely honest.

Its a good idea, in my opinion, but if the welcome threads grt separated I think there is quite a big chance people wont look at them anymore thereby not welcoming the people that much anymore?

This is what I think

a good point and I did think of it whilst posting... maybe different sections separated.. so the filters could only show you welcome threads alongside normal posts without the applications if you wish?

RE: specific location for the application/ welcome posts?

I can see the positives and negatives of doing something like this.

Hiding the welcome threads wouldnt let you guys see new members joining, which would result in them not being welcomed.
Thats not something we want. As we want to be welcoming to each and every member

As for hiding the application section, Ill talk to Cloud about whether its possible. But the application section is only posted on once or twice, whereas the welcome section is constantly being posted on. So its not as big of a problem.

RE: specific location for the application/ welcome posts?

I definitely can see how these type of threads can flood searches. The question is what is the best solution.

For now I added an option to hide sections from Today's Posts search. The Unread posts and Roulette search are custom search plugins. I will have to modify some of the code in the plugins to work with the new search filter. 

To access this new filter User Control Panel->Edit Options-> Hide Forum Sections From Todays Posts Search
