Admittedly, after working in a library for six years, I'm a bit anal rentive about things being in their proper place - but it seems to be requests should be limited to the request forum. Yet lots of times when I go to the Artwork or Stories forums thinking there's a new post of such material, I see instead, a request, and these requests are not removed like it's said they'll be. Unless the request is for material containing underaged characters, I feel bad reporting them. Yet I still find them annoying. They belong in Requests.
From my observations, the people who do this are newbies who don't realize the Requests forum exists. They don't fully explore the forum for it or for the rules. Maybe if the Requests forum was moved up to before any media or stories? Right between Internet and Media. That way they can't miss it and have no excuse for posting their requests anywhere else.
Plus maybe something can be done to make the newbies more aware of the rules? I don't think any of them read them fully. Judging from the requests for material containing those under the age of 18 and other, more minor things.
It just seems to me that it would make the mods' jobs easier if newbies were made more aware of things. Thank you.
