Community Update [25/08/2015]

#1

Hey guys,

Just a few small changes and updates to let you know about today, as I’ve posted around the forums recently I am now openly allowing name changes, please drop me a private message with all the relevant information and why you want your name changed and I’ll review it. If you’ve had your name changed already, I cannot guarantee I’ll do it again. That being said think long and hard before messaging me. :slight_smile:

On another note I’ve stumbled across a cool feature of simpleportal which allows the creation of new pages with cool designs, in the past people have suggested reworking the help tab to include more relevant information, we can now do that and once this page is complete I’ll link it on the homepage. You can find the under construction version of the page here:

If you’d like to help please let me know, I’d appreciate that a lot! :slight_smile:

Finally onto the elephant in the topic, I’m polling the return of the reputation system, while this poll doesn’t determine anything it’s merely to grasp the communities view on the matter. The results will be available after the poll has expired, I’d suggest everyone vote.

Thanks :slight_smile:

If there is a member that has been logged off for a long time and is not active anymore can you take there name by any chance? Or would that lead to many problems?

#3

That would sure lead to problems

#4

Is the poll not up yet?

#5

polls are being messed up due to a new smf bug, give them time to fix it

#6

I would love to see rep system back.

#7

I like the idea of having the rep system back. Maybe a good change for it would be 1 point for all levels of rep. Considering how easy it was to get 200 rep when you had hundreds able to give out 13+ at a time.

Not quiet, I’ve seen many accounts with like 1 post that have last logged in like 7 years ago.
Guest accounts, you can already take their names by creating a new account.

If anything just do what GitHub does with their name squatting policy (tailored for the forum).

Edit: why don’t we have the “remove post” option anymore, just noticed it.

#9

I’d rather have a thanks system over reputation, but I don’t really care if it’s maintained correctly.

#19

This whole poll thing is confusing, some of you can see it, some of you can’t and you’re all identical as far as permissions go. :slight_smile: I’ll look into it now.

Let me know via PM and I’ll look into it, depends entirely on the account. I’ve done it before though.

#20

looks like if your friends with tom special permissions and cups will be given as well
