Ideas - *controversial*

[Tintinnabulate]

But when I tried to welcome a new member. I posted a thread for them saying they're cool, linked them to the thread, repepd him, got other people to rep him, posted on his page and got him into a convo and made him say himself "he felt famous". I got a user note for targeting members :rolleyes:

Which ever moderator warned you should be slapped. MattGarner himself replied to the thread and left the user a visitor message. There was no bullying involved.

Also, I'd like to think the reason people post on the forum is because they enjoy it, and they like the community. Not to gain all these features

Agreed.

I have nothing against the Star system but I would have thought the most obvious thing would be to just scrap it in order to conform to those new style of user-bars and make everything uniform. One thing I really wish though is that user-bars were ALL stacked vertically.

Ah yes so it will have to be coded. Didnt think it was a feature which already existed in vBulletin.
Considering you guys have started installing some plugins now, what do you think of the idea of me sending you and Garion a list of plugins which already exist and why I think they should be added?

I would also be very interested on what sort of plugins you feel that HxF should install. But please do what Oli as asked regarding posting them in feedback!

I thought you was joking when you posted this, I think it will be wise for you to bring this up with Oli.

I won't agree with the slapping but yeah I did reply, left the user a visitor message and even gave him some rep because he made me laugh! I wouldn't of called it targeting it all, more welcoming him into the community. From his replies he seemed to of liked the attention? :S Unless I've got this all wrong.

This issue has now been resolved however I will say this, I'm not super-human and I cannot read every PM a moderator sends. If you have a problem with any action taken by any moderator, PM me. I will not (usually) take action from a comment made in feedback, any problems should be addressed to me directly so I can sort them out.

I wasn't online last night very much so I had no idea what this was about when I saw these comments, I can't do anything unless I am contacted so instead of posting here for a quick moan it'd probably be a good idea to actually do something about it.

To be honest, I can't stand any of the current userbars OR stars.

I loved the original ones from way back...

[Alkaz]

I like the new ones, a lot more Habboy and fir most skins better.

No Oli because I replied to the moderator, waited 18 or so hours and even though they had posted way after the PM was sent, they chose not to reply. This wouldn't have been mentioned if it wasn't relevant in this thread. Nobody should be blamed and it's not a criticism but it's the 4th thing that has gone wrong with moderation since my return.

The moderators are fine, they rarely make mistakes and if they do it's corrected within pretty short time. In comparison to past times, the moderation of this forum is considerably better and moderation is not the issue here.

This thread seemed (to me) about improving features for new users, which we have made suggestions about.

This thread is amazing, agreed. Lorren should win member of the month and be given a staff role straight away. That was just me replying to your comment directly aimed at me, which was explicitly linked to moderation.

Fair enough.

And yes, this thread is good. Well done to all those involved in it's creation and I think it's really good for a newer member to post it

I just want to repost my idea about user ranks as I'd really appreciate feedback from users before changing everything, just because myself & General Management like an idea doesn't mean you lot will!

Gold Members:
To be in this userrank you must have between 0 and 1000 posts.
For each extra star you need 250 posts and each time you gain an extra star you get 10 rep points.
Obviously I'm not going to go into detail here with the privilidges the member will get, however to make it relevant to the post, I'm going to say that Gold Members will be permitted to have an avatar of 120x120, something which in the current system you would need 2500 posts for.

Ruby Members:
To be in this user rank you must have between 1001 and 2500 posts.
For each extra star you would need 375 posts each time you gain an extra star you get 15 rep points
This usergroup would be permitted an avatar of 130x130 something which you would currently need 5000 posts for.

Sapphire Members:
To be in this user rank you must have between 2501 and 5000 posts
For each extra star you would need 625 posts each time you gain an extra star you would get 20 rep points.
This usergroup would be permitted an avatar of 140x140 something which you currently need 10000 posts for.

Emerald Members:
To be in this userrank you must have between 5001 and 10000 posts.
For each extra star you would need 1250 posts and would be rewarded with 25 rep points per star
This usergroup would be permitted an avatar of 150x150 something which you currently need 20,000 posts for.

Platinum Members
To be in this userrank you must have between 10,001 and 20,000 posts.
For each extra star you would need 2500 posts and would be rewarded with 30 rep points per star
This usergroup would get a 150x150 avatar and larger signature options in comparison with the Emerald group, this group would also be able to see who gave reputation.

What if we go over 20,000 posts?
If a member was to reach the 20,000 end limit then they would become a Habbox God and be placed into the Habbox God usergroup which will have a bolded coloured name and all VIP features permanently.
