Mr Admin!

[Klown]

Once more it is that time where I heckle you for changes/features/etc!

I post this here because I know you view this subforum more than others. :X

Spoiler tags

Self-explanatory, it's extremely difficult for people in Videogames/Movies subforum to discuss anything without ruining it for other people without spoiler tags.

Hyperlinks

Again, self-explanatory, the absence of hyperlinks messes up lots of pages, breaks page tables when people post long links, doesn't allow people to use image thumbnails etc.

E.g.


Links messed up due to lack of link tag - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13315984&postcount=2
And for images - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14430013&postcount=836


Instead of clickable - http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8777/xr3da2005010101103384ro8.th.jpg (http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8777/xr3da2005010101103384ro8.jpg)

Second one being nice and tidy thumbnail that doesn't take half an hour to load for people with slower connections.

Thread size (5,000 post limit)

Limit thread sizes to 5,000 posts to help stop forum slowdown, there are a load of giant threads dotted around and such large threads slow things down on a larger forum like this. It's not a precise number, just as long as there aren't enormous threads with 10K posts since that means a load more processing for the server to do every time the thread is displayed.

New Admin

Alex is becoming DBJ II and hasn't touched the account changes thread for months which defeats the point in him being an admin.

I'd suggest Peer or YDload if they'd accept since they're both active in the pit every day. :X

Avatar size

Limit avatar size to 100x100 pixels but keep the 19.5Kb limit, it wont slow anything down and will allow everyone to have a decent looking avatar. 30 pixels makes a difference!

And finally!

Code tags

Useful for people discussing programming in Videogames & Movies since posting without code tags tends to mess up the formatting.

Image tags in General Discussion

Self-explanatory.

Other Suggestions

Site forum. ^_^

- This would stop people posting problems from their subforum in other subforums and give people a proper place to talk to mods/administration instead of posting it in GD or in here like I'm doing.


take the pit restriction off for new accounts, when mods just ban pit people for the hell of it they make a new sn and spam the rest of the forum because the pit is restricted


Please discuss.

hey are you a homosexual!

[A Spoonful Supreme]

ya admin do something bout this issues theyr ruining my day(s)

[JumpTheF**kUp]

reviews site only :/

[Eliminator]

I agree with all of Klown's proposed idea.

JTFU, shut up.

[MrConeman]

I agree on all points, except maybe the thread post limit.
I like the feel of a nice big community thread on a certain subject, like band threads, or tv show threads.

Spoiler tags is the best idea tbf

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I agree with all of Klown's proposed idea.

JTFU, shut up.


Why? He could've just posted this in the Feature Suggestions thread, it's not like it's all that hard to find it.

[myfingersareonfire]

The committee of Ando! for tabmod 07 endorses Klown and his campaign!

[Eliminator]

You retards would say the same exact thing in there, too.

[Light Fantastic]

Site forum. ^_^

[Mr. Ron]

Hey! I like this idea!

[myfingersareonfire]

Ando! is gay.com


we have much in common, i am homosexual!

Provide a link to the forums in the navigation bar in the reviews site. That would definitely be helpful, and would get more posters.

[TheDarkHorse]

agree completely

i agree, its just that im telling u exactly what one of the sputnik mods will tell you

[Noyana]

all really great ideas! :)

Hows about you "review" this post and edit in constructive criticism about the proposed changes or shut up?

[Angmar]

it's not your username that is retarded.. it's you JumpTheF**kUp

Your not one to talk :-/

Good ideas.

I think there already is one just below "Find a band"

[myfingersareonfire]

oic.

Well then make the network more navigable through http://www.mxtabs.net

[Channing]

i don't post much in other forums but those seem like all good ideas

[myfingersareonfire]

Why did you change 1,000 to 5,000? Are you gonna change it to 30,00 next, you joker?

[Ephemeral]

I agree with the 100 post pit limits. It doesn't stop spam, it simply encourages it.

These are all very valid points that have been brought up!

[Angmar]

I agree that having 100X100 avatars would be nice, it is the most common forum size and the size of most online avatars, it would decrease the need of resizing.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'd agree with most of those, although the avatar size doesn't really need to be changed.

[BillyBonebrake]

good and obvious ideas, stu. good luck with that around here, though. you know how we roll at sputnikmusic forums.....we barely do :(

[Alf™]

I concur with all changes :).

[Wish]

Even if none of the other proposed ideas are put into place, having hyperlinks back would be great. They are all good ideas though.

Just a quick question. Why is AG still a moderator of General Discussion? When was the last time he was even in there?

[semi]

oh please, jeremy never listens to our suggestions. if he even ever sees it, this thread will be closed and ignored without even an answer. might even have bans for people asking for changes we actually want.

avatars resize themselves...

[semi]

not moving ones.

[Kif]

Besides which, it would stop people bugging mods for their own bigger avatars. 100x100 is pretty normal for avatars on other websites, 70x70 I've only seen here.

I agree with the Pit limits and 5k posts require thread to be locked. MX has amazing slowdown sometimes, and that would definitely help out.

Images in the Pit is kind of iffy. The Pit is a spamfest, and if images were turned on, it would be mayhem. Linking to pictures is no big deal.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

not moving ones.

true true

[Hep Kat]

I'm down.

[Jom]

I'd be down with all those changes, but I'll be even more floored if any of them go through... which brings me to Wintermute, who I figured would actually be around when I campaigned for him 10-11 months ago, but 'DBJ II' is an unfortunate but very accurate description, minus the panda-hugging part.

[myfingersareonfire]

Why not just allow supers to make account changes?

[Wish]

Now, I don't know if Jeremy would find this a problem but if he gave super mods (or a selection of mods) the powers to change user names then they will also have the power to change what user groups certain people are in. Unless there is a code modification for it.

And a lot of other things like deleting users and more.

[Tojes]

I'd suggest Peer or YDload if they'd accept since they're both active in the pit every day. :X

pft YDload my as‪s he probably hasn't checked the Pit in ages because my short story competition thread sit around the pit for about a week and there wasn't a single f‪ucking local that could make that simple task. Not Aidan, not YDload, Superpeer had to do that.

So I suggest Jelle as well.

Superpeer for admin '07

[Liberi Fatali]

I applied for an administration position, with the intention of being a bureaucrat presiding over the account changes thread. But for some reason they closed my application and ignored my resume. :(

Image tags in General Discussion
Self-explanatory.
Veto'd


The rest of his suggestions however are all very reasonable, with most having been suggested an incomprehensible amount of times in the past.

[BillyBonebrake]

Bump in hope of new features being added.

[JohnXDoe]

bump in hope of jeremy showing up in 2007

[form]

bump in hope of superpeer making changes

[TojesDolan]

K do you want me to give this link to Jelluh?

[TojesDolan]

K guys, we talked a bit and he says we'll talk about the issues discussed.

[Alf™]

idk what has to be talked about, most of it is common sense.

[Roy.]

i agree. a lot of it seemed completely reasonable.

[TojesDolan]

Sure but some things Jelle can't do. Site is doable, but it'd require to behave.

[Alf™]

Bump for Jeremy.

[beastman168]

I think it would be nice that every time you clicked on a forum it went to the last page you read, rather than the first page. I always have to scroll through a bunch of posts to get to what I said, where I was, etc...

[TojesDolan]

There's the last page option.

Also, there's the button on the left part of the title (a blue square with an arrow pointing to the right) that leads you to the last reply you got in a thread.
