As the Battle Subway slowly starts to revive itself and more quality teams begin to be posted, it could be handy to have a 'RESOLVED' and 'UNRESOLVED' feature.

All posts would start off as 'UNRESOLVED'. Once a satisfactory* answer has been provided, the post's maker would tick off a little box that says "Team Resolved" and 'RESOLVED' would be displayed in the place of 'UNRESOLVED'. This would, essentially, let people know that the question has been given a satisfactory answer and no further work is needed.

On the first page of the Battle Subway, where all of the RMT titles are viewable, each team would have either a 'RESOLVED' or 'UNRESOLVED' status. It would be best positioned either between the tags and the name or underneath the name and date. a 'resolved' post would have a satisfactory answer, and an 'unresolved' post would either have no answer or an unsatifactory one.

There have been several RMTs (mine included) to have [UNRESOLVED] and [RESOLVED] in the actual titles. If the Battle Subway starts to see more quality, thought-out teams and more quality, thought-out answers (or more answers in general), the unresolved/resolved feature could make it more organized.


  • The main thought behind 'resolved' posts having satisfactory answers is that often a post will be answered, but the answer will either not be what the writer is looking for or just a bad answer. Unfortunately, once people see that an RMT has an answer they will skim right on by and the team will, more likely than not, never be resolved. The resolved/unresolved feature would tell readers that the question is still looking for a resolution.

Realistically, you could just indicate the same thing with a BA?
See the last paragrpaph
Honestly speaking, PM's to-do list is already so jam packed with better stuff to do. Don't get me wrong, this may be a decent in the eyes of some, but the current thing that's happening (you all putting RESOLVED or UNRESOLVED in your team title) already fixes a lot, so this seems a bit redundant. In my opinion at least.
@fondant: Sure, a BA works, but that's only if someone notices that a better answer could/should be given.

@Qwery: I'm not putting this high in Pokemaster's DB upgrades, but I think it could help if the Battle Subway starts to make a comeback. Some people, I would guess, wouldn't like putting 'RESOLVED' or 'UNRESOLVED' in their answers. This would also be complusory, for the benefit of everyone, rather than the select few who do put 'RES./UNRES.' in their titles.
I think this is a good idea, I've started doing it.
