This is somewhere between an ask and a suggest . . . I hope ths is the right place to bring it up. Basically I was wondering if these forum boards have a filter function more sophisticated than the search box allows ... like the spell or magic items lists have, where you can type in a search text but you can also set filters to screen in or out certain results.
And if there iSN'T such a function on the PbP boards I would like to suggest to WoTC that they consider such.
Essentially what started this off is, I haven't been able to figure out a way to reliably get a list of ONLY the threads that have the 'recruiting' tag activated, so I don't have to wade through like fifty pages of threads to find at most three or four games that actually are seeking new players. Even when I typed the word 'recruiting' into the search box, although it did give me a lot of hits it missed several that I KNOW have a recruiting tag active because they just showed up in my notifications today and I checked them out. And it had quite a few games included in the list that AREN'T recruiting, in fact are specifically CLOSED as far as the tags go, but they have the word "recruiting" or some part of it in the title or in the thread itself and so gave a 'false positive', as it wree.
How and where can I express my intent in joining an ongoing PbP campaign in the forums? I mean, I see a lot of Private games, no new ones to join. I am somewhat of a new player, but I'm eager to learn and roleplay. :)
Something that I did not see addressed in the FAQ...but I am sure has been answered before: Are we allowed to use the forums for recruitment, but host the actual game itself on Discord? If so, are there any special considerations we need to take into account regarding doing so?

Pretty sure, at least because I see it extremely often. Though I'm not sure about directly putting a link to discord on the actual post itself. It's probably best to recruit those people and send the link only to them rather than have potentially more people than you wanted showing up if that makes any sense.

Where do you find that link? I went to search, put in recruiting and got only 3 hits among 5 pages since 2020. I hit your link and it worked like it should.

Hey! (Just in case you're still wondering on this)
You can put out a thread here titled "Looking for campaign", although there's also been a resurgence of the good ol' "Recruiting" tag recently. You could also try the Looking for Players/Groups forum (linked here) and ask about PbP forums. Finally, any players who're interested in a campaign can PM me, if I get enough people I'll create one!

Hi there,
How and where can I express my intent in joining an ongoing PbP campaign in the forums? I mean, I see a lot of Private games, no new ones to join. I am somewhat of a new player, but I'm eager to learn and roleplay. :)
Thank you!

@OisinmacCameron - Isn't that what the recruiting filter is for? It's linked from the How do I find PbP recruitment threads? answer in the first post of this thread.
On the desktop version of the site, you can also get to that filter by using the "Filter by prefix" dropdown near the bottom of the page.
Where do you find that link? I went to search, put in recruiting and got only 3 hits among 5 pages since 2020. I hit your link and it worked like it should.
The recruiting filter is at the bottom of the PbP forum on the right hand side. Just click the selection down then hit filter.
