Holiday Gift For Everyone!

fix the freaking search function for chris'ake. for some reason ya go and put a user name in the "posts\threads by this user" location, and click search, it comes up with old posts, and not one that they just posted 5 minutes ago. put an option "thread start date" on top of "last post date" too. i dunno why - but i can never find anything when i try and use the search and i BLATENTLY copy\paste the title of the thread sometimes.

temp-ban would be a nice function - maybe instead of giving a higher PM limit, raise the text ammount to like 2500 instead of 1500?

also im in favor of editing signatures, avatar\quote, and profile things - i can come across a few times where a member put some profane things in there and i couldnt do a thing.

enforce the "no dealer" in signatures and what not. no commercial links (again, not enforced) signature image size limit would be nice (like 30kb tops maybe?) and only ONE IMAGE per signature.

i would also like to see posts in the lounge not count toward postcount (same with the image gallery)

even have a checkbox at the bottom of the 'new thread' page that says "i have searched the forum" so that people with new questions have to check that box before they can post in each forum.

i know theres more. ill try and remember //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so far so good idea wise people. hopefully we can make this forum a more posative place. i just wish there was a way to stop e-fights and useless arguments. meh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

as far as super moderator goes. i think thats a bad idea. id rather have a temp-ban with a PM\email sent to goob with the information, and have it dealt with that way. like a 12 hour, 24 hour, 36 hour, and 48 hour ban times depending on what the user did to provoke it.

and for sale adds in the classified limited to people with maybe like 50 posts. and pictures\feedback being NESSICARY - can be deleted if there is not both. and a locked forum for scammers, their names in a thread, and their IP addres and info about that user so that if they come back under a new username - we can see their history.

 
I would really like to see a section dedicated only to installs. I think not only would it help people learn, such as myself, but it would be a great way to share ideas and ways of doing isntalls. Must have pictures, and no one should be allowed to post except the thread starter(would keep it clean and easy to look around, instead of having to jump pages).

Oh and new smileys would be cool as well, thx =)

 
No offense to any past, present, or future mods. But I would like to see requirements to be eligible for mod voting based upon something besides post count, and popularity Just MHO //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I agree

I whole heartedly agree with you there.

 
You want to get rid of half this forum's problems? Get rid of those little post count boxes under everyones user name.

I also think that only ONE mod should be able to do the temp-bans.

I'm also totally against that little mod nomination popularity contest some of you have floating around in your heads...

 
Haven't read this whole thread.....but, my top 3:

1) Give mods more powers. Edit posts, edit sigs/avatars, ability to temporarily suspend accounts (24 - 48 hrs) (not permanently ban them) so that swift action can be taken in cases where it is needed. Bassmaster, as pointed out, would be a good example. Then you, Goob, could have the final ruling if someone should be permanently banned or not.

2) The points system Jmac proposed earlier. Rack up 50 points and your gone, permanently

3) Stricter rules in the classifieds forum. No post dumping or you're removed, permanently, from that section of the forum. No ebay-style posts, price MUST be listed. No "feelers". Restrict thread starting in that section of the forum to those with atleast a post count of "XX".

Too bad that would require mature mods... I'm for it if you make strict rules for the mods. The day I see mods changing people's posts to stupid nonsense like "I'm gay! wee!" is when I stop visiting this forum.

Yeah... riiight... "Offensive post! 5 points!"

Agreed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
i'm down with the points setup, however, how does one decide if it is offensive enough? who determines the amount of points given?
It would have to be a direct violation of the TOS along with the agreement of more than 1 member that it was offensive enough to be given points to. At least I can't think of any alternative.
