Should we just change everyone to Generation and forget the teams and Graduated? it works for the 46. For example, Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st gen similar to Nishino Nanase (Nanasemaru) / 1st gen If you want to know the Team history, it is in the wiki; it doesn't need to be spelled out in the title of the member's thread.
well, I've been in favour of that before .... but for Miichan I was thinking of: Graduated Team A, Team K, Team B, Kenkyusei, Team 4 (Captain), Team K (Captain), Team K - Minegishi Minami - Miichan - 1st Generation it has all the relevant info right there (I was thinking of adding het SSK rankings ... but I don't want to be reminded off the last one, could add years active though)
I checked and this was discussed in pages 106 and 107. Personally I'm all for making the thread titles more simple/short and just have "Name (Nickname)" since the sections already tell what's their group and status ("member" or "graduated"), and for teams, it's not important since they change teams often anyway. For generations, it could be included or not. if the titles can be shorter, it's nice, but like it was said during the discussions in pages 106 and 107, mods didn't want to go back and edit all past titles. so unless the past thread titles are all edited, we should continue with the current format, to keep it organized. Funny thing, this was discussed in page 106 because I asked to add the "NMB48" to Aayan's title thread, and it ended up not being added, until now where I asked it again and the same discussion happens again... and I didn't remember that I already asked, but really there should be a decision on which format to use and apply the same for everyone in 48 sections. Honestly if I was a mod, I would probably edit every past thread title, it's just that I really like when everything is clean and organized. but I don't have interest to be mod in general
Personally, I think it doesn't even feel necessary to add generation, though it's a lot better than team since teams can change so often. Also since teams change so much it doesn't make a lot of sense to continue to associate members with whatever team they happened to be in when they left. The only time I'd list a team in a member thread title would be in the case of kennin.
Another issue with adding generations is that it might start to get a little messy with transferred members, e.g. Sato Sumire to SKE and Umeda Ayaka to NMB.
Not really? Sato Sumire would be marked as 'AKB48 7th Generation'. This has been done both officially and unofficially since cross-group transfer occurs.
I don't have any particular problem with including that in the thread title, I was just suggesting that it might make things a little more difficult. I agree with @kanjo that it's best to continue using their final team for each member.
FYI, although you might have noticed it already, we are renaming the threads in the graduated member section as per @Mana's suggestion
Looking just now at the SKE48 Graduated Members it seems to work well and the solution you've used for Suuchan as a transferred member (i.e. 'AKB48 7th Generation') is good and clear.
Looking at it now, I really think the titles look a lot better like this, especially the fact that the members' names are at the beginning of the titles rather than the end like before, and it's much less long, with only useful informations (Name, Nickname, Generation). I'm glad that a decision was taken, everything is clear now, thank you!!!
FYI I think we've renamed all the graduated members threads ... if someone sees something that's not quite correct please let us know
I just saw that Shirai Yukino's thread is still in the SKE48 Team KII section eventhough she graudated last year. Shirai Kotono also graduated. Please move their threads to the graduated section. Thank you! http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/shirai-yukino-yuchi.22566/ http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/shirai-kotono-kocchan.10564/
Moriyasu Madoka's thread was moved to the HKT graduated members section but not her gallery, please move it too ^^ http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/the-moriyasu-madoka-gallery.4578/ I was in NMB section and noticed that Abe Wakana has some issues with the titles of her threads, her name (last name then first name) is Abe Wakana but in her gallery it's written Wakana Abe, can you please change it? http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/the-wakana-abe-gallery.23345/ The title is right in her thread, but it's missing a nickname, her nickname (according to wiki48) is Wakapon, please add it! http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/abe-wakana.21232/ That's all, thanks! and good job for editing all the graduated members thread titles!
Sadly the profile of my STU48 oshimen Otani Marina has gone today from the STU48 official website so could her thread please be moved to the Graduated board. (@sscrla Apologies for putting my previous post of this type in the wrong thread)
A couple of things - firstly Kitamura Mana's profile has gone from the official NMB48 site so could her thread please be moved to the Graduated section? Secondly there's currently some discussion in the thread of Team A Yokoyama Yui about whether her more usual nickname of Yuihan should appear in the thread title. Could I please ask the Mods to consider that?
I am thinking of creating future Coming Flavor releases threads in the "other 48" section. After all Zest requested to treat it as a separate group from SKE48, not even a sub unit. What are your thoughts ?
