Community Feedback

So in essence you miss posters from the past (most banned ?) ?
Maybe I'm not the best person to address this as ive never been a "big name" in Community, so the changes may not be as apparent to me.

The topics here have always varied in interest to me and Ive not seen any real change in that, only thing ive noticed is that some of the threads have lost a "who can be the bigger smartass" style of posting. In the past it almost felt like threads came down to who could say the most "shocking" thing possible.

Misc movies has always been my favourite section.

I've come to the realization that the Wild Wild West that SHH was is now more of a policed city. That's just how it is. For the few oldbies here, and I can't believe I'm considered an "oldbie" misses the old regime of doing kinda what we want within reason.

But I know we can't go back to how we were unless the whole comic book movie trend kinda fizzles out and people start leaving here en masse including moderators leaving the remainders to devolve into debauchery.

I just thought it'd be a good idea so we wouldn't have so many people starting threads "OMGZ why did Batmanfan1608 get banned??? Bring him back!?" and all that crap.

The people asking that are usually nosey types though, if someone is banned his/her friends usually know why, and if it is brought up it is as a protest to the banning.

Nice word usage.t:

why not simply have a secret forum where older members can cut loose unchecked and kick it old school



it won't need moderation, and won't spoil the image of the hype. It was probably the best hype idea that was never fully carried out before.

it'd just be a superlounge for anyone past the five year mark who remembers the regime of old...

That was tried to some degree if I remember correctly, but it wasn't really a secret forum.

Because the mods already have a secret forum and wouldn't want to make another because there's wouldn't be special any more t:

I like rewarding people who are "regulars" at the Hype. Makes us feel good. Now not all of us can be Mods. I guess because we're not cool enough. Or if we ask then we're immediately removed from consideration. Which is pretty childish, but that's how it's always been. So if we can't become Mods then how bout you give us Oldbies some simple rewards. It's simple and it makes us feel better and usually goes a long way to let us know that we're wanted here. Other than banning, regulars leaving is why some people like Knowsbleed are unhappy. Maybe a few cookies here and there would help relieve some of those problems.

Now I know you guys want to get rid of the post count, which I guess is a source of problems for you. I don't know why. You moved the spam threads to that other forum and if you spam elsewhere it's against the rules and posters get warned and infracted and ultimately banned. Problem solved. But if you do get rid of them maybe you could reward the regulars with some simple "cookies".

Maybe you could give different colored names. Mods of course are Red, but maybe you could change Golden Age posters to Gold and Silver Age posters to Silver.. or Green for everyone who's broken the 5 year mark. Another reward might be the ability to put images or banners in our sigs. Because not alot of people make it past 5 years or hell 3 years it wouldn't be that much of a lag on your bandwidth because there are not that many of us. Another reward might be the ability to close your own threads like others here have wanted.


These are just some brainstorming thoughts I had. Hope they've been constructive.

For some reason I really like that gold/silver idea.

In my opinion The Hype is what you make of it. So if you want more stimulating discussion, then I think the best way to achieve that is set an example. Post some new threads on some better topics in community then. You can do that at night when it is dead.

I think I might take you up on that. Like Nosebleed, I too feel like something is missing but don't miss the rudeness and cliques. Only way to get the ball rolling is to make more threads to my liking

It's a great point. And I'll gladly do my part too.

Yeah, there're still a few of interesting posters left in Community. We're all waiting for somebody else to start an interesting thread instead of doing it ourselves.

Because no one lies about their age over the internet.

 

[Erzengel]

Well if someone has been on here for 5 years lying about their age, more power to them.

I think that is the only way to do it, bring change on. If you and nose open some interesting threads, then maybe others will open similar threads and things get better.

Are you saying that people "misrepresent" themselves?

I'm really 14.

 

[Steve Rogers]

A while back meaning a year ago? This place has gotten pretty boring compared to how it really used to be IMO.

Seven months ago.

People used to just attack each other here. Hell, I did it too.

Too bad you're not a girl.

[Colossal Spoons]

I probably had the most fun there when Calvin used to argue w/ everybody for the hell of it and JAL's meltdowns were a regular occurrence.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Ok. We gotta stop playing "Remember When". This is the Feedback Thread.

 

[Erzengel]

He still has meltdowns but they are not as over the top as they were previously.

 

[Showtime]

Too bad you're not a girl.

You'd be all over it.

Back on topic, we are thinking of elmininating the amount of smilies per post from 7 to 2.

 

[jaguarr]

I'm just gonna put this out there. Let marinade and sink in a bit:

Pin The Tail On Morg

jag

 

[Franklin Richards]

You can't do that! My posts have had 3 smilies at the end of them since 2002!


At least 3, please.

 

[Erzengel]

So on behalf of the SHH Posters, let me go ahead and let's do that silver/gold/green namie thingie, but make it for people 4 years and over so it will include me.

We are going to go ahead and do that closing a thread, and the closing mod has to be the last post and state reason for same.

Can I get a second?
