Feedback for the forums?

I'll do it tomorrow; PROCRASTINATION DOMINATION >:D

[Rolina]

Also, the Positions are getting out of hand.  It needs to be cleared up and kinda regulated.  I suggest the following:

Position: (can be Admin, Global Mod, Section Mod (state which section), Member, Validating, Banned)
Element: (can be Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, or Neutral.  Default is Neutral.)
Fundament: (can be Sol, Luna, or Neutral.  Default is Neutral.)
Rank: (Clan rank.  Title depends on clan.  Unlcanned are simply 'unclanned'.)
Nationality: (the various races you posted.  They make more sense as nationalities, though.  Default is 'unspecified'.)

Also, keep them in that order, and keep all of them there.  It's far less confusing if these things are ordered, and you'll be able to do more with them if you do something like this, such as having certain things on the forums being dependent on certain fields.

[Charon]

Well, to order it, we'd probably have to get a mod, because currently positions that aren't your main position are in alphabetical order automatically.

[Rolina]

Shouldn't be too hard.  It's better than "Position" > "Position 2" > "Position 3" etc... with no real coherency to it.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Y'know Charon, you should really talk to me before you go grab mods.  I can do a lot of smaller modifications by myself.

This shouldn't be too difficult, I'll add it to my to do list.

[Rolina]

Thank you Atrius.  This should make things much more pleasant when it comes to viewing members.  Perhaps eventually we can sort by them to, but alas, one thing at a time.

[Charon]

Y'know Charon, you should really talk to me before you go grab mods.  I can do a lot of smaller modifications by myself.

Well, I didn't add anything or upload anything o.o ... Although I probably should have sent you a PM regarding this. It is kinda annoying to deal in my opinion as well xD

[Rolina]

I'll do it tomorrow; PROCRASTINATION DOMINATION >:D

So is this a no?  Because even tomorrow's tomorrow has come and gone.

[Charon]

 

Not adding Saturn. Saturn hasn't been mentioned in the series canon yet.

[Rolina]

...You DID read why I included it, right?  For the sake of having a green bullet?  It was only even given the name 'saturn' (always in quotes, too) to fit thematically with the names of the rest of the bullets. You could use :green: to make it work, and it would be fine.

[Charon]

Yeah, I get it, but what's the point in having a green bullet? It's not like we have a rainbow of bullets for people to use >_> we never did...

...but if the other members agree with you then I'll add it.

[Rolina]

Well, the whole idea was to ask everyone if they wanted the new set, or wanted to keep the old set instead.

[Rolina]

It's been over three weeks, I claim the right to post again.

I have a suggestion.  You know how the posts in Forum Games don't show up on the Latest Posts section?  Well, since it's our spam forum, I don't think it should be counted in the forum statistics section either.  Right now, it dominates forum statistics, so it's hard to really get a good grasp as to what boards and topics are popular outside of our spam section.  Atrius, do you know a way to fix this?

Also, Charon, please wait a bit before hunting down any mods.  We don't want Sala's story to come true, after all. XD

[Charon]

Okay... our forum games section is not our spam section ;-; It's just a place where people can play, but spam isn't exactly the term for it. To compare... just look at FES's Spam Land...

Anyhow, you can just mark the topics as read. I'm not sure but there might be a way to ignore topics altogether...

Lol, don't worry, I won't xD

[Rolina]

We treat it like our spam section, therefore it might as well be.  Even still, I don't think it should show up on the forum statistics, since it pretty much dominates it (literally - 6-7 of the top ten are forum games every time).

@Mark topics as read:  It's clear now that you didn't read my post at all.  This has NOTHING TO DO WITH "MARK AS READ".  Go to the main forum page.  You that thing at the bottom?  The thing that says "[More Stats]"?  Yeah, THAT.  CLICK IT.  Oh, here, I'll make it easier for you.  http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?action=stats  <--That link.  Notice that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH POSTS BEING READ OR NOT.

Seriously, Charon, read my posts before making comments like that.

[Charon]

._.

Role... >_> Just ignore the Forum Games... I really don't want to through this again. Seriously, if you don't like them just set them as "mark as read" in the Forum Games every so often, because its only 2-3 threads that get updated often. Those 2-3 threads are easy to skip and since we don't have insane activity elsewhere, it won't get shoved to extra pages in the Updated Topics area...

[Rolina]

Edit:  Nevermind.  I'm sending this to PM, because you clearly aren't paying attention to a damn thing I'm saying.

[Charon]

Looking through the PMs (>_o sorry) it seems like its just an issue with the stats. We could probably implement something that tells the stats page to ignore boards with "do not count posts" checked.

[Rolina]

See?  It wasn't so hard now, was it?  Just a simple suggestion, no reason to treat me like you did.  All you have to do is listen to what the posts are saying.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Not even "do not count posts" so much.  I created a hidden setting that hides a forum from all the latest post feeds, I'll just extend it to keep it out of the statistics as well.
