Rename the MTG Q&A section
TappedOut forum

I think one of the biggest reasons why people don't realize that rules questions should go in the MTG Q&A section is because of its name. Too many acronyms, and it isn't really intuitive for some.
I propose renaming it to something like, say, Rules Q&A, or even MTG Rules, Rules Questions, MTG Rulings, etc.
There's no real need for MTG to be there, unless I'm missing the fact that this website deals with anything other than MTG. Q&A could technically mean all sorts of things, so it'd be better to specify that it means RULES.
Just a thought, would probably shave about 6 hours off of Epochalyptik's daily routine

I think most people get it. Just glancing at a few of the titles makes it pretty clear what the page is for.
Anything that doesn't fit is usually easily thrown into another forum.
However if it had to be changed, "Rules Q+A" might be the best option.

Well.... The Q&A should be listed in the forums. Not in the head bar. People think, "I need to ask a question! I'm going on the forum!", and then they don't see the MTG Q&A link....

Q&A isn't in the forums because it isn't a forum. There's a reason why Epoch can't move wrongly placed posts from the forums to the Q&A. I don't know the coding behind it, but I know that they are different (Q&A posts can have responses marked as answers, and I'm sure other stuff happens too)

I assure you I have no power to change this. Else it would have been changed long ago, when the Mountain s were still Plains .
I want the name changed to Magic Rulings or something similar, and I also want a banner link to the Q&A put at the top of the forum page.

He can, but he hasn't thus far.
@yeaGO: We do need to do something about this, even if it's only a faux forum listing that points to the Q&A. The number of miscategorized posts in the last few days alone is pretty extraordinary.

You aren't the first person to suggest this, I have before as well, I'm not sure why it hasn't changed but I'm sure there's a reason.
But please? Can we? It'll make everyone's life easier.
