[Outdated] Site/Forum Suggestions, Maintenance, and Discussion

[Arkhi]

Edited the OP. I've got my fingers crossed in hopes that enormous signatures are finally a thing of the past.

[Tacos]

You can bet that I'm going to be enforcing them from now on.

[Arkhi]

Thanks a bunch, Tacos & staff!

Thanks a bunch, Tacos & staff!

You spelled his name wrong. I really do hope the sig thing is something of the past because some days it takes forever to load up a topic.

Edit: Technically, I'm breaking the sig rule by one line. BRB.

[Deleted User]

I would as well accept because of ridiculous sigs long long ago, I turned sigs off, and I don't want to turn them back on, it's so much easier to read through everything without them.

Also yes, it should be Tacps & Law Enforcement

[Arkhi]

So, now that I finally stopped personally bugging mods used the Report button, I can suggest an improvement.

While the Report page does show the thread containing the post in question, there is no confirmation which post is being reported. For that reason, if someone somehow makes a mistake and reports the wrong user, that could be annoying(?) towards the auth or cast a light on the one doing the reporting to be screwing around with the Report button, which puts them at risk of being warned. I suggest, if possible, including the post in the Report page so that confirmation can be made.
Additionally, on that note, and while it should go without saying, the rules should include that abuse of the Report button is an offense. This is assuming that that is a warning-worthy offense.

If some auth can confirm this is warning-worthy, I'll add it onto the Suggestions list.

[Tacos]

Well, I can't say much about report button abuse, but the reports do in fact show which post was reported.

[Arkhi]

What I imply is that those doing the reporting have no way of guaranteeing the post in question is the one being reported; when users report, they can only see the thread containing the topic being reported. There's no certainty unless that thread has only one post.

I don't get what you're saying. There's a report button under each individual post. How does one NOT know which post they are reporting?

[Deleted User]

Think you're a bit confused here Ark.

[Tacos]

I do understand where he's coming from. There is no indication once you press the report button as to what post you are specifically reporting. But truthfully, as long as you're careful of which one you click on, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

[Arkhi]

There's a report button under each individual post.

That's a good example. A new user who doesn't know the site layout may think the report button pertains to the post below instead of the one above. Without knowing that it applies to the post above, there's no way to do.

Think you're a bit confused here Ark.

I know what I mean, but I guess my explanation isn't ringing bells. I tried including a pic, but that didn't work for me, so I'll try again.

Edit: Posting a screenshot of the report feature doesn't work. For whatever reason, the "image type" is rejected.

Edit: NVM, I'm getting the same error message too.

[Arkhi]

In addition to people with exceedingly large signatures, some people (I can only find one currently, but I know more exist) have "Interests" lists that extend far past the length of a single trainer card in one's signature.

I assume this violates the same rule of signatures surpassing one card's length?

Also, I've got eyes on you and your sig, Mael ;D

[Tacos]

Also, I've got eyes on you and your sig, Mael ;D

But I've already dealt with that and it's perfectly fine now c;

[Maelstrom]

As if the actual amount of space changed by the scroll wasn't negligible. =/

[Arkhi]

So, Interests were removed from profiles outside of the user's page.

is good fix

Just to have a note of this somewhere, I've added a mention about PS rooms to the site FAQ; I also went through the FAQ pages and fixed the text so that it doesn't all highlight at once like it used to (that is, only the things that should light up when hovered over (that is, links) do so), and did the same to the Field Effects page, as well as normalising the alignment of the images on it. I don't think anything broke but if it did, oops.

Hmm just a small recommendation here. Can you change the displayed text for the Site FAQ to say 'Site FAQ' or something like that and the Game FAQ to say 'Pokemon Reborn FAQ'

It might clarify it a bit better and also let new members see that they're not the same thing so it might be useful to click on each of the, at some point.

[Ikaru]

Where exactly? There's only one FAQ on the side bar on the forums, and that's listed under Pokemon Reborn; and on the main site, there's "FAQ" and "Game FAQ"

[Deleted User]

They're two different things, (click the picture you'll see)

I personally like this one myself.

[Ikaru]

The difference should be a little clearer now.

[Qaaz]

With the new rules/warnigs about signatures can we have an increase on how many links/images can we have as much they are inside on Spoiler tag?

[Tacos]

You can have as much as you want, as long as it's in a scroll or spoiler tag. Just don't make it an excessive amount.

[NickCrash]

So you can't really have as much as you want.
