What do you want out of this?

Cheat · July 27, 2014, 06:46:35 PM

I think this is a pretty good way to kick off the pre-pre-release of the forums, so I'm asking you: What do you want out of this forum?

What kinds of different forums do you want? Are the ones we have enough? What about the sort of rules you want to abide by? We're not bound down by Proboards' own rules, so we could do pretty much anything.

Post here and let us know. I'm not saying everything will get added or updated -- this isn't anarchists anonymous -- but it's a damn good way to get your ideas heard.

Go!

We should be pretty damn lenient. When harassment gets way too far, and is directed at a single user, though, that's when the line should be drawn. But casual racism/sexism shouldn't be met with locks or bans.

I'd like it if the forum were bigger and didn't leave so much space on the sides.

Eh, I disagree. The slimmer style is better for mobile.

Cheat, Do you have a different username on the flood?

I also think we should be able to like/dislike posts.

This. This is the first new feature that Cheatlancer should work on. But no rush. It's a fucking hassle to code an entirely new website. I would offer to help, but I have no coding experience at all, haha

Should we get Demonic in here to help out?

That's a pretty kickass idea. PM him?

Mods who actually ban idiots like Dumbshit Kinder and don't just stand around with their thumbs up their ass.

Maybe these rules aside from religion, politics, and a few other

And add a forum dedicated towards the discussion of politics and religion so it doesn't clutter The Flood forum

Should be pretty simple, actually. I'll put it on my list of things I need to do.

It's responsive, so it'll adjust to whatever device you're using. Try it for yourself and shrink your window.

This will probably happen as well.

Make this a tad wider and I will be pleased. Also, maybe a little too much blue.

The flood is supposed to be a dark place... is there any way you could change the gradient for the flood to be a bit darker?

I like the blue tho...

Different options, perhaps? I have Tritanopia towards the lighter shades...

Nascent Email · July 27, 2014, 07:57:51 PM

A little wider please.

I suggest an option, widescreen/slim(default)/mobile view.
Just an example from another forum:

Auspicious Rose · July 27, 2014, 07:58:41 PM

I think there should be a notification system too. That was one of the few good updates that came with B.next.

Also, I would get rid of the whole "One more post has been made while you've been typing" thing. It's just unnecessary, IMO.

I forgot to thank you for making all this possible, by the way. Thanks, man!

Aether · July 27, 2014, 08:11:56 PM

I do enjoy slightly wider layouts. Also, I wonder if you can implement various color schemes that people can choose from.

If the avatar dimensions would stay as they were, or perhaps an option to crop the avatar, that'd be cool

Religion/ polotics needs to be seperate. it's what made #offtopic a shit hole.
