Is that not the point of the Recent Updates page? To post about the recent update? As well as future updates?

Cleaner? So the total number of comments is under an arbitrary limit? Having to deal with numerous pages instead of one? Old comments are pointless to sift through unless they are either deleted completely or comments are locked wholesale until they are cleaned.

Archival purposes? This is not a museum. Preserving the updates themselves within Archived updates seems to be all that is necessary. Recent & future updates are a cumulative process. The depth builds with updates. This would may just arbitrarily divide the comments. Something to preserve should be a crafted question, such as polls, not a regular occurrence.

On-topic? There are no rules on that page. Additionally, it's apparently where everyone has always commented, making it a difficult habit to break. Without rules, it's impossible to procedurally manage what's on-topic & how to redirect people.

Regardless, on-topic about updates is pretty much anything. Given the update rate of the game & the usual amount of content, much of what a person will comment will be on-topic enough. Issues may be due to new players or people picking the most popular section to ask questions or discuss experiences. Experiences, mind, that may be on-topic anyways depending on the update content.

This issue seems to speak more to an under-utilization of General Discussion. Perhaps the front page stating Game Updates conveys more utility or relevancy than Community?

The first solution, to me, is crafting rules for the page & promoting General Discussion as the main discussion location. Then, moving on from there.

The update threads or potential individual pages don't seem useful except to preserve update information or question the translations & specifics of the update, especially during the update rush. If the suggestion was a vague way of asking for that, then it would be better to enact the first solution first.

Does the highlighting feature work for non-signed-in users?
