Suggestion: New warning system for people who constantly make spam/flame posts by reducing their post count.
Reason: I remember on a forum I use to post on a while ago they had a system of warning that involved reducing someones post count by 10 posts on a first offense, 150 posts on a second offense and resetting their post count all together on a third offense. I think SRF could use a similar system since there is a share of people who too often and on multiple occasions just quote someone without saying anything else to contribute to it or will make useless flame posts on others that does nothing to contribute to a topic. Also since there is a share of people who will make spam posts just to get their post count up it's fitting that the person's post count should be a form of warning someone.

Like someone cares much about the post count? :roll:

Reset mine to 0 plz

For those that can't stand overly large signatures:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=46675
Goto the 'Remove Sigs' script. Will remove everybody's signature.

With all due respect SMS, this is not an issue with the readers. This is clearly an issue that needs to be addressed not just avoided with programs. I already use adblock and get rid of the giant ones I don't want to see. But for the ENTIRE forum's sake, not just those who individually wish to solve the problem, please address the sig issue!

Thanks Crumpets.

To Be: (Changed)
Suggestion: (links opening in new screen instead of current)
Reason: each time anyone adds a picture or a link to another website you simply lose the current page would be better if it opened in a new screen, i believe it used to be that way before the forum update.

cin · **Posted:** Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:39 am

true borat, we still on it.
i would like to have that back too..
tho i now just middle mouseclick, or ctrl+click my links to open in tabs.

New picture for the website banner.

You can see the banner with the big "SRF Forums" and the female archer that is omnipresent in all forums. The layout/navigation of the forums itself were changed (awesome changes) but the picture is still the boring old picture of a skimpy dressed archer and Hotan in the backdrop.

cin · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:33 am

that pic is the mother of srf, the srf icon.

most likely it will not be changed, its part of what makes srf srf.

Pilot · **Joined:** Jan 2008 **Posts:** 670 **Location:** Above you

I guess there must be some interesting history behind the making of the srf picture? Dont see anything that seems to make it special.

That's because you are a new member. It's been there for years. Why change it?

cin · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:48 pm

changing the srf banners would be equal to changing the american flag.

the impact would be too much to handle.

Must be one worthy banner...

Maybe a forum made for skill/lvl up advice? People ask questions about their existing, lvl 30-60 characters and what can be done about each character for best grinding results.

/I smell a fail suggestion.

cin · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:03 pm

i guess you mean the characters and skills section... which we have.

That or the Q and A forum.

Pilot · **Joined:** Jan 2008 **Posts:** 670 **Location:** Above you

A page bottom and page top button.

Some of the threads are super long and its a drag to have to scroll all the way down to see the latest post to it. Either that or make smaller pages.

Home/End button on the keyboard do the trick.

Hey...you're right :banghead:

Pilot, just like with postcount the same goes for suggestions:

quality > quantity

Forum needs to get rid of filter, so that the only people that get filtered, are the ones that have "Enable word censoring:" on. I'd like mine off, and for all words to show, kkthx.

Just like I did in the other topic, I'll +1 it here.

The censoring is really annoying and I don't see any point in censoring words when everyone (including mods) get around the problem by writing fcuk for example.

Not working properly

MrJoey · **Posted:** Sun Feb 10, 2008 8:05 pm

**** <--- change censoring already. Take off the damn filter and allow us to choose if we want it to be censored.

I don't know if this was suggested already, but I propose that we get better smilies.

Users must have a minimum of 100 post before they can post in the Expose Botters section.
For obvious reasons...

We've been considering this for quite some time already. If you have smiley packs you would rather see us using at SRF post them up ^^

This will come in effect very soon. Ryoko has been working on tweaking the PHP so it will control access by the joined date AND post count. I'll update you when its implemented.
