we don't do announcement or news through our forums like most other sites, and while people do post here, this is hardly a forum that imperative to the userbase. The amount of new threads and posts in the site related forums merits it's placement at the bottom.
As far as infractions go, they don't affect other users, and the people who receive the infractions get PMs about it when the infraction is issued. That being the case, there is absolutely no reason for them to be placed higher as well.
Bottom line, the site related section here is nothing like site discussion sections on other sites. Therefore they don't need to be the first thing users see when they log into the forums. |
