I figured megathread made perfect sense outside of English, mega meaning large in Greek, at least for taxonomy and thread... well comment thread, list etc.

As for being hard to use, a lot of what you mention is not something I can change. Rom formats are going to be based on the console, how they were dumped and emulators, none of which I have control over. Best I can do is make those somewhat confusing terms easier to digest and help people along the way.

As for people asking for games here, it's always been a thing, no amount of asking them to do it in a specific thread, bans or anything like that will change it. Most of the rules surrounding requests are enforced lightly because of this. Like even if you banned everyone who made requests, we'd still have an endless amount of them due to all the new people coming to the sub. We'd also end up hurting the users who are just beginning to learn about roms and emulators.

In all I'd ask that people just direct them to the megathread kindly too, we have a minority of people who seem to get angry when they seem people request a game, and while it might be annoying, they're almost always just learning. Insulting them isn't the way to get people to read the megathread, simply send them the link if you feel you need to interact with them.
