OcUK Forums Changes

Actually, having had a bit of a think about it the FAQ definitely needs updated, some of the Dons listed as points of contact are no longer Dons and haven't been for a while. I haven't gone through in great detail to check what else is outdated.

As has been mentioned post count or even length of time here is no guarantee of experience or knowledge, I think it is simply something that you have to evaluate for yourself. While a rating system for members sounds interesting, it would almost certainly be a bad idea as there is no way to make sure it is used properly - not to mention that my definition of properly will probably differ from other peoples. :)

Aye, I think it's a good system and needs using more often. :D

OK, these are my thoughts right now.

1 - A special avatar or two for those with 5,000 and 10,000 posts.
2 - Bring back Underbosses.
3 - A few more Dons.
4 - More transparent moderating.
5 - Use built-in infraction facility.
6 - Actively encourage meets and maybe even contribute to beer bill/other costs.
7 - Increasing signature size to 25KB.
8 - Letting some users start polls (maybe 5K+ posters).
9 - Inviting certain banned members back who haven't burnt their bridges.

There are others but that was a quick 5 minute think.

That all sounds good to me Spie.

I never really understood the whole hierachy so I just wanted to ask what an Underboss is for? (I remember seeing them but never knew what their role was)


How about a THANKS system to encourage others to help others rather then reply with a sarcastic comment. They have it on AV Forums and it's pretty good. Shows under your post count how many times you have thanked people and how many thanks you have received.

To be honest, I really don't think the moderating needs to be more transparent, nor the sig size needing an increase.

However, Underbosses, would be nice to see them again. :)

Quality.
Although personally I think the sig rules have pretty much sorted themselves out now, especially after the recent upgrade:)
