OcUK Forums Changes

The only thing I'd like to see is proper implementation of the infraction feature as it has great potential.

Signature sizes are fine, the forums/sub forums are fine, the rules linking to the fact that this is a family forum are fine. All is good!

:Edit: Apart from the forum formatting! It'd be great to have the blank line underneath everyone's signature gone, and the date/time of every post changed from displaying at the top of each post to the bottom :p

Also, the "Contact Us - Overclockers UK - Mod - Top" line at the bottom right of the screen would benefit from being centered like it used to be. :)
 
As been mentioned.

More transparent moderating.

Bracket filter for angus higgins posts? :p

/edit dont change sig rules, 1 aspect I love about this forum,
Also why not add swear words to the filter, can't hurt can it? Stops new members that may think there is a language filter from swearing unfiltered.

Do you mean the yellow and red cards?
 
Careful on a definitive system for suspensions, there needs to be some common sense attached to it. If someone posts a particularly stressful post but manages to put in a sweary, they shouldn't have a warning for that, meaning the next infringement would lead to a ban...
 
If it's not too much trouble, fix the
PHP: 
 vbCode tag colours as you can't see a thing with it in the current colour scheme. It's only a minor issue but I would have thought it would be a minor fix too. EG:

[PHP]
class TestClass {

     __construct() {
     }

}

That got fixed before the upgrade and it wasn't too big a deal I don't think :)

Congratumalations on the first mention :)

Not sure rating posts would work either. More controversial (but sometimes better members) would end up being avoided by newer members perhaps?

Not so much rating the posts but rating the member. I think it could show others how 'important' he/she is.. Like I said just an idea.

It would end up like the Eurovision song contest...............Rigged :D

You know what i mean, you kiss my butt, i'll kiss yours :D

----------------------------

All the rules should stay apart from the 20kb signature one, maybe change it to 20 -25kb that way people have a bit of movement.

More avatars, but i think the theme we have now is good and works well.

Does time being here and post count not decide how important someone is? Controversial members (being careful not to mention names) would be classed as important but would probably have a low rating due to their nature...

I can see what your saying but a swear word is a swear word. Everyone has stressful days some point in their life but why should someone that has have the right to swear, their's just no need for it on these forums to be honest.? :)

I dont think that should be implemented to be honest. That system will just get abused completely. If you dont like someone already, they are just gong to rate the member down becuase they have had an argument in the past with them or have done something to a member becuase of various reasons. (If that is what you mean by your rating system?) :)

There's different levels of swearing. A broad "card based" system wouldn't be appropriate IMO, as there are often different ways to take how things are said :)

Could you elaborate on the different levels of swearing part please, how do you mean exactly? :)

I do honestly think that we need to have some sort of perement rule though about swearing and aruguments and what the consequences should be becuase their really is no need for it.

I know thats a bit hypocritical for me to say that since i have had a dig at a few members on here and have gotten into stupid, very childish arguments but im going to try and advoid that as much as possible now since that gets nowhere.

Though i would certainly think twice about actually getting into a pointless, childish argument if their were rules along the lines of what i have already said. This is obviously were the Moderators come in and should use their own judgement about what to do for that certain individual and they do that of course but i just feel it needs to be tightened up a bit. :)

That is exactly how it should be. They moderate according to how Spie feels necessary, rather that to a set list of "banned" words.
 
oh i have got one :) stop censoring the word *** see i typed t e h, sometimes i type fsat and spell the with h at end and it gets censored soo it looks like i swore lol why is t e h even on a censor list lol
 
what you talking about blue **** ??? great **** ? saw some blue **** eating my nuts outside this morning, allthough must admit dont see as many as i did when i was younger :(

woo hoo time limit between searches reduced to 10 seconds :D

my input would have been "maybe have no time limit after searches that ended with no results?" but the 10 second wait is okay and some ppl won't even notice it
