Suggestion: Karma/Reputation
But you have to add a little comment why you're giving the person bad (or good) karma/reputation.
Reason: Some members just flood the forums with nonsense topics. If this would get implanted everybody would just notice it on the karma/reputation if it's even worth to read it.

Suggestion: Post/Topic submitting delay
Make the delay 30 seconds.
Reason: If the delay will be 30 seconds nobody can actually say he 'lagged'. Maybe if that would be still the case, jsut make it 1 minute and it should not happen again.

People double/triple/... post a lot, saying it's lag. A larger post delay would just prevent it. And can you type something in less than 30 seconds/1 minute? Sure, something like 'rofl', 'lol' etc, which my be considered just as spam or 'bump'. You probably just miss understood me.

How could reputation get abused? You could easily check why a user gave someone positive or negative reputation. On the user profile you might see a table like this:

Code:

Nixie's reputation:
Name         Reputation given       Comment
Scorpio      positive               helped me out with some code
Evil_Man     negative               -.-
spam_bot     positive               ashdlol

What's wrong with that? You can clearly see what the reputation has been given for. So I'd have +1/-0, ignoring the 2 nonsense reputations.

That could be annoying, you know..

How could be that annoying? How can you reply to 2 threads in 30 seconds? You have to read new posts in the second thread and then post a reply, which takes for myself about 2 minutes between different threads.

I think a feature should be added.

One that lets you view the screen shots you have submitted
and see what they've been rated. As it's a bit hard to search
through the gallery looking for yours, especially when it's
ever growing.

It's pretty obvious why it is beneficial to the forums ^^

Anyway, thanks for listening (Hope you are

)

Well, if it's not (in your opinion) physically possible to reply to 2 posts in 30 seconds, why make that addition? And also, many people (I guess) open many tabs with threads they want to read, so sometimes it takes less then 30 seconds to do it.

I usually have more than 20 tabs open, so what? People would start reading whole posts because of the delay, because right now a lot of people just post before even reading a post to the end, asking/speaking about something that has already been answered.

It's just a suggestion, the admins will decide on it. I just posted it in this thread.

Suggestion: thread and post tags
Reason: When trying to point to a specific thread or post you could just use [thread]39160[/thread] (or [topic]39160[/topic]) and [post]1417475[/post] instead of the longer version [url]http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=39160[/url]. It might also have an extended version: [tag=TEST TO BE DISPLAYED]39160[/tag] (is the same for both).

Have the marketplace separated into subboards like the Guilds & Clans section is. That would be pretty nice

Any chance that external links could point to a new window/tab, rather than moving away from the SRF itself? It's increasingly annoying as it stands :] Not least because I keep forgetting to right click on the link and open it externally myself.

If you have Firefox just hold down and click the link or click the middle mouse button. That will open a new tab.

Apollo has been online since a while already, am I correct?
I'll look into arranging the flag, subforum for Apollo has been created.

Even though I only quickly read it, I find none of the other suggestions important enough to add right now. As for the suggestions that could be of use, we need an admin to arrange all that, and it is nothing I can help you with right now. I will read it again tomorrow and see what I can do.

I get credits on a daily base in the shape of QQ filled private messages.

Do not forget to mention that SRF's definition of 'quick' is not quite the same as the standard definition.

Hey, i do believe i give you credits in the forms of Chocolate at times too RuYi!!!

N yeah, well we already have a number of Staff's comments on the Avy's so it's pretty good thus far

Only because you know I loathe most of the chocolate, most of the time.
I prefer the QQ private messages. Fortunately, I am expecting two in a very short amount of time.
