Indeed, admin is united on how good it is.The new unfurl feature helps with the description a bit.
Shorter list suggestion. Who's not on it?A new thread inspiration: Connor’s Shit List.
At first it was a bit odd, but I like it now. Good job.Indeed, admin is united on how good it is.
But people never like change, do they....
It's obvious that he's on here to just collect reactions. There's no rule against that.
Anyhow, there are several members on here that irk the shit out of me for varying reasons, but I remain impartial, because that's what we need to do.
Years ago, I was a member on PeachyForum and the admins over there were like dictators. I don't know if they run it the same now, but it got bad, so I stopped going there. I only post an occasional link from them if I happen to see it listed on TheNude.
If you look at the first three pages of Niche and Fetish right now. He's there doing his "spamming" Good God Almighty. I'm glad I have him on ignore.This isn't against the rules, but it is frowned upon.
I've said this before - if you don't have the common courtesy to at the very least identify who you are posting pictures of, then you are being half as good a contributor as you could be.
The same goes for gallery / video links - if you're not giving a brief description of what's going on, then you're not helping much.
Like I say, these aren't rule breakers. But there are several prominent members of the board who fall foul of one or both of these points and considering their posting volume, they would make this board significantly more functional and easy-to-use if they chose to spend a few seconds saying who they're posting or what they're posting.
If you see particularly egregious examples of what I'm on about, please let me know and I will get the offenders a gentle nudge. Just don't expect a reply next week because I'm on holiday.
Also, being a moderator is great, @Petra buys you a cake if you are chosen.
There are literally MANY thousands of unmarked threads like that, and as I don't get paid for this, I won't be participating.If you don't end up finding a willingvictimvolunteer, I might suggest a "bounty" system, with FO points or premium membership etc up for grabs.
Like, lets say you're having difficulty keeping up going through threads looking for offending posts. You could put out a call for moderation flags.
Lots of solved but unmarked ID threads? Tons of questions from noobs? Same thing. This system would also let you focus on the areas you need help.
You could restrict the bounty by rep score, or you could send out a signup sheet for those who want to participate in the "game" and curate the list. Top "hunters" could even be given rights to move threads, which could help in those duties as well, unlocking a set of "exclusive" bounties for them.
I know administering the scoring is going to create some work, but if you design it well, it will be less work than doing the moderating yourselves. Who knows, maybe you might even be able to download/delegate a lot of your own duties to the bounty hunters?
I think it's the commitment that might be scaring people off. This would address that. And motivation - as much as Petra's cake sounds tasty, the bounty certainly sweetens the deal.
Just thought I'd throw it out there. Gamification is a proven concept. It could work here too.
It's not near as long as you'd think. Mainly the ass-hats who don't say thanks or at least give a reaction to a solved ID request. It's just common decency. You ask for help, you get help, and you say thanks, but no, some people were raised to be fuck-tards.Shorter list suggestion. Who's not on it?

That would be the point: to entice the non-mod users to do it so you won't have to.There are literally MANY thousands of unmarked threads like that, and as I don't get paid for this, I won't be participating.
Check out post #2 of the thread:A slight side step, but does anyone else think of "Men at Work" and sing in their head the title of the song, when they read the second part of this thread title?
Or am I just really starting to show my age?

You should alert us when it is NOT sarcasm.Sorry I forget to add the Sarcasm alert:
It doesn't work, at least in all circumstances. I'm having no luck with toggling BB codes, in some cases it makes the problem worse. What I don't understand is how such a destructive bug is still active on the board. Whatever change or set of changes that cause this should have been reverted immediately until y'all figure this out. Not acceptable guys.FYI: For those of you have noticed the new bug (link repetition), I have figured out a way to get it to stop on new posts. If it happens on any new posts, edit the post and toggle the BB code before saving. It works for me and I told another member about it, and he told me that it worked for him also.
I walk around in my neighbourhood with my head held highRemember the days when being a mod on an internet forum was a highly sought after and competitive position?
