Forum changes

I hope but have them limited in options per forum channel thats what needs to be done here, its what I would do in your situation

 

What exactly do you mean by "differently"?

Such as different format? Different types?

 

I im still wondering about this

 

Me too.

 

hey, I know one gamedev that has a basic upvote/downvote system with people limited to 1 of each rating per day.... just a thought, can provide links/images if needed

 

Thank you so much for taking time out of your break to implement these changes to improve the forum/community!

Would it be possible to implement a way to "unwatch" a profile post to stop receiving alerts every time someone replies to it?

 

it's because you (nadeox/whatever other mysterious moderators occasionally appear) never (very often) explain or communicate anything. I'm quite sure we both know what I'm talking about when a member was recently removed for certain activities. one simple post explaining any extenuating circumstances could have saved over a day of complaining instead of deleting everything and saying nothing. if an apparently big-name member is punished for a seemingly harmless act/reason you should expect blowback, and grudges. and that is not the only time it has ever happened.

 

Agreed. The line in the signature is too vague.

 

We need a simple like/agree system with a daily quota that depends on either how long a user has been a registered member, or how many posts they have. I know a few other forums that use such a system, and it works well for them.

 

"Big name" members should know how to act by now. @TechnicolorDalek

 

It would need a limit though, even for VERY old members. Trust me, shitposters will go to extremes.

 

Agreed. This would ahve saved us a ton of drama

 

That would kill any incentive for a lurker to rate posts. We don't need any more reasons to encourage shitposting.

Limiting likes and agrees just seems like a bad idea, especially if it just happens to be a day when a lot of good mods are released

 

Why not just say "personal attacks against a member". That's a lot more specific than "Being rude", and explains the situation a lot better? And why not post said text as a status, so when someone goes to their profile, that's the first thing they see?

 

I'm just saying, that's why. You can have your reasons, these are mine, and as the case may be, others.
