Changing the section names?
 
Since we see people posting stuff about SourceMod in the AMXX section every day, I suggest adding a little [AMXX] prefix in every AMXX section, so people will actually look at it. I know that the sections are in the "AMX Mod X" forum, but trust me - new users don't pay attention to that and think that the entire forum is for SM. Here's what I suggest:

If not prefixes, then add some other indicator that the section is for AMXX.

Sometimes it's obvious that the thread is in the wrong section, but other times you will spend your time and nerves for literally nothing. Here's a great example - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=295890 . I made an entire plugin and he tells me that it's for SourceMod.

Considering that this gets ignored daily:

Changing the section names won't help.

That's only in the SourceMod section. Actually, adding it in the AMXX section would be nice. Same goes for posting requests: "This section is for posting plugin requests or suggestions related to AMX Mod X. If you are using SourceMod, you're posting in the wrong section."

A few changes won't hurt. The result can't be 0, it will surely have an effect at least on some people.

The issue is being productive on something that maybe changes things for 1 or 2 out of 1.000.000.

No matter how productive you are, you CANNOT produce a solution to other's laziness.

I have some stuff in the pipeline we can try out, but I want to finish and announce this current batch of work before embarking on anything else.

Nice to know there are possible forum improvements in the works.
