If you agree with me in any of these, please say so, so if an admin (ShadowCaster and/or Rikus) can see how many people go with what I say & hopefully change it.
#1: Take off the need for game to be checked over! I mean, yeah admins will have to delete unless junk, but they are on atleast once a day, so its not like the the junk will be on DC for days on end.
#2: Instead of just Thumbs up, add a 1-10, or 1-5 feature in!
#3: Make the little mail icon blink when you have DC mail.
#4: Make it possable that once we get past the Newbie rating, be able to make are own, this would be a cool, & quit funny feature!
#5: Have 2 download sections, 1 for Full games, & 1 for Demos. This would give a chance for people to tell more about the game in the game type instead of just (Demo).
#6: A news page. This would give users a chance to add news about them selfs, there websites, or there games for others to see. It would be alot like the home page, only people will be able to add the news. (Admins would need to check over news before it appears.)
#7: The abilty to edit previews.
#8: The abilty to warn users that tick us off. Warnings over 60% would disable adding stuff to DC, mailing, & so on until it wares down.
#9: Be able to rate articals 1-10, or rate them Thumbs Up
or Thumbs Down.
#10: Be able to have passwords returned to you when you have been logged in for mounths & then DC suddenly kicks you out. =-o "I forgot my password!"
Its happened. Beleave me!
Like I said, DC used to be a VERY fun place to be! So please post if you agree with me on these features, if enough of us do, we may just be able to get them into DC!
#1: Agree
#2: Agree
#3: Agree
#4: Sure, why not...
#5: They Are Already Sorted
#6: Disagree. See Below
#7: Yes, this is a must have. I think what we actually need is just the ablity to set up a game page (which then links to previews, reviews, dev-logs, media etc. about that game). It's kind of like the current system, but more streamlined.
#8: That would be a bad idea. Having that kind of power just invites trouble.
#9: Rating articles would rock. The ability to sort them would be nice too.
#10: Agree
1. This was added because people complained that too many games were being added that didnt work, etc. This gives the admins the opportunity to check the download url, check the size has been entered correctly, check the genre, check the screenshots, check the material of the game is suitable, and so on. This wont be changed, sorry.
2. That will require removing all the previous votes, downloading the database, updating it and reuploading, not to mention creating 2 or 3 more scripts. Perhaps in the future after more important things, but at this stage the thumbs system does the job.
3. I said this should be in it from the start, but Rikus said not to bother... SO BLAME HIM! This will be placed on my Todo list.
4. Nope, sorry.
5. Already implemented.
6. If people want news added they can send it to us via DC Mail. That is really no different to them submitting it in a form with a different name and having us check it before accepting it, like you suggested.
7. I'd like to add an Edit button to everything, but they take a bloody long time to script. This is on my Todo list.
8. As the other said, I dont think this is going to happen.
9. I've been wanting to add this, it is added to the Todo list.
#4:
That would be cool, so you can enter your team name or software name, or anything you like!
#5:
Have no opinion on this one.
#6:
Send news to one of the admins and if they find it important, they'll post it.
7:
Might be a handy future, but just double check before clicking further.
#8:
Yeah, some kind of system that will stop a user for a few days,
so he doesn't goes to far with his actions.
The admin could just "bootleg" his account.
#9
Please do rating with 1-10 or 1-5 and not thumbs up or thumbs down.
Because that way there only is a possibility between good or bad.
Instead of i like this article, i love it or i hate it.
Make more options, not everything is bad if it's not good.
#10
Already exists.
Mainly, they're should be more control over things posted other than in the boards.
It would be nice to have a memeber discription to a person, & have a Newbie rating in the discription until they submitted atleast 1 of something to DC. Then have a rating not showing DC points, but showing how people like the person. So people can vote members 1-10.
How about making the mail thing to the left not tell you how many mails you've got saved in your mailbox, but how many of those are new. I always log on and see "Oh, 3 mails, wow!!" and I realize I have already read them. Frustrating.
Its hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
1. Yes, because i dont think admins virus-scan games as well.
2. Yes
3. yes.
4. I have wanted this since i joined last year.
5. Everyone wants that, so do I.
6. Good idea but i foresee that coming a chaos riot.
7. Hell yes.
8. Bit unfair aint isn't it?
9. Yes
10. yes.
here are some extras:
1. Boards are good as well as mails. But both are too slow, why cant we have a chat room or a built in msn messenger.
2. Maybes too make this website a little bit is if anyone starts to swear and be horrible to people, get a warning or remove Dc points (yes even me).
3. I know we use website links for screenshots, games, avatars for example but isn't there are way how we could just upload them from our computer?
4. Can members get awards like if person "x" won GOTW and somebody checked in person "x" profile, they would see an award. Im not bothered if this happens or not
5. Can't we have a pet monkey to walk around the screen and junk
#1: That would lead to broken links and people posting pr0n
#2: agreed
#3: agreed
#4: TK had that, except you could change other people's tags. It would be cool, but it could soon become obscene
#5: agreed
#6: You mean like a bio page?
#7: agreed
#8: That would lead to major flame and ban wars. So no.
#9: Agreed
I could attempt to make some kind of DC chat for people to download.
I may be prity new at MOO/MOO2, but I have gotten prity good, I could add rooms for each of the boards, Game talk, & so on.
Wouldn't be the best thing in the work, but it would be prity cool.
Only huge problem...
I don't have cable or D.cable so I can't use the MOO Serverside for a server. I would need a relieable server to be on.
I have some ideas of my own i would like to share.
1) Can we have a new website design now please or when it is autumn - we've had this for aaaaaaaaaages.
2) On each users profile page they have the option to write dev-logs on this page.
3) Preview edits so people don't post another preview when they finally have screenshots.
4) Organisation to Articles, Previews and Links seperating them into Genres.
5) They order options on the download page are fixed, so they work.
6) Mail shows either all mail - and mail images flashes with a new one, or just it flashes and shows how many new. Or, it says You've Got Mail.
7) A seperate page for reviews of good quality.
8 ) Special pages every so often (month) with things like a new competition, an very in-depth preview, etc etc.
9) Preview our Posts, Downloads, Articles and Previews before we post them.
10) A Click-Zine?
That's it. Except i don't agree to the upload files option. That could lead to porn, or viruses uploaded. Now to agreeing / disagreeing with Brandon:
1) No - Could allow for misuse, spamming. Think how many users to could be flooded within a couple of minutes.
2) Hmmmm 1 - 5 would be good, Maybe like 1 - 5 stars, like the stars in the reviews.
3) Yes.
4) Not sure about Ratings, maybe just the option for some text you want to put in below your name.
5) No, just witht he categories have the option of demos.
6) Like i said - dev-logs.
7) Yes.
8 ) Warn admins would be better, and if they get enough complaints then the member is warned / banned.
9) Yes, 1 - 5 and Thumbs Up/Down.
10) Already in place.
I remember the five star review system on the old DC, and that you didn't have to be a member to review, you'd just type in your name, post your comment and the number of stars you gave it.
I think the security needs to be stronger. I mean, look at all those crappy articles. I think articles should be checked by an admin before they're posted. That would really help.
Project Progress:
1.: Droid Runner (5% Complete)
Finishing Up Game Engine
I like the Thumbs system the way it is. If you give any more detail to it, you'll have cowards just voting the minimum amount to it for fun. If you want a rating, that's what the reviews are for .
I like the newbie rating idea.
I think that something should be done as a way to warn users, but then again, me, ShadowCaster, and Rikus have made waaay too many enemies as it is. It could easily be abused to gang-bash any user you don't like.
Still, I kinda miss that old system when you get to rate people. You know, a popularity rating so you know whether or not your recent actions are affecting anyone. It could discourage people from doing stupid things, and I'm sure some of the more commonly disliked people (me, Spiderhead, Dogzer, NationalLiberal) really don't care for low ratings.
There was once a place for cool reviews, but I guess the admins couldn't find the time to update it. Personally, I want a place for the good articles. Articles help the community a lot more than reviews, but most people don't realise the good ones due to all the article bashing going on.
Security ain't necessary. Flaming a bad article/game is enough to make the user and other people scared to make one . Combined with my popularity rating suggestion, it's better than any security SC or Clubsoft would come with against crap.
I like Spiderhead's award trophy idea though. The chat app would be useless, since most seasoned clickers who actually chat prefer using IRC or MSN Messenger anyway. I'm sure all the admins would agree .
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
