OcUK Forums Changes

[Spie]

Some of you may know that today I appointed a new Managing Director, Rupert Lowery, and I have now assumed the position of Company Chairman. Now that I have more free time I can focus on running and improving the forums, from a more relaxed perspective.

This thread is all about finding out what changes you'd like to see here. Would you like some of the forum rules relaxed? Do you want different rules? Would you like some new sub-forums? Do you want moderating decisions to be more transparent? Or any other change?

Over to you ...

 

[Duke]

Tighter control of MM entry.

 

[Fothsn]

The way I see it its spot on as it is tbh, although a Laptop section would be nice

As above MM needs looking at,

 

[G-MAN2004]

I think the rules etc. are pretty much good as they are. Maybe increase the 20kB sig limit a bit but that's nothing important.

 

[Mobius 1]

A bit of a small one, but a few more avatar's wouldn't go a miss. some more gangster ones would be cool.

Agreed on this.

Have suggested it before, would be quite a helpful thing to have.

And definately, MM needs some tightening.

And to above, some nice Avatars would be cool too. Stick to a theme though.

 

[fail at the internets]

I agree i think for mm it should be 5/6 months instead of 3.

 

[gumbald]

Another level of avatars to show the more experienced members (1000 posts covers a lot of people)

You don't need more than 20kB.

i thinking finding out why people were perma would be good. teaches people a lesson

Yea like a name and shame section would be an excellent read!

 

[gumbald]

Agreed, 20kB is fine. There needs to be some limit, what's wrong with it being that? I don't require impressive quality images, above the level that can currently be achieved.

These forums are great. It would be a sad day if rules where slacker. It's one thing that makes these forums so good.

The only thing I would change would be a more transparent moderating. What I mean by that is rather than deleting posts/threads. Is for the Mod to leave yellow text stating what and why they have been changed. I think this would remove a lot of the why threads and also help people to remember what and what isn't allowed.

Maybe a some more sub forums, but the problem with that, is you get small dedicated suer base.

And you should supply car puter parts, but that's not forum related.

3 more avatars. 1 male one at 10k
oine female one at 1k and another at 10k. Only available if you signed up as female.

 

[syke]

A separate section for people who have been here for a long time, or posted say 3k+ or something being able to see the last posts of PermaBanned people, as to why they have been banned.

 

[Vita]

New Avatars

 

[Sherbs]

Maybe MM should be 6 months & decent posts...

 

[Jono]

A complete ban on threads like "Spec me a cheese for my sammich" and "i want to sleep with my girlfriend, but my willy is small".

48 hour suspension followed by a permaban for repeat offenders.

And also a ban on smug-gittedness.

That is all.

Thank you.

Tucker Jenkins.

 

[gumbald]

This could turn into a long thread Spie, good job you've got lots of time to devote to us all now

 

[syke]

500 perhaps, or an average, for a certain time, say 4-8 months.

 

[Darkwave]

The graphics card forum needs to be split into Nvidia/AMD and the consoles forum needs to be split up too.

I also agree with the suggestion about tighter regulations regarding entry into MM.
