Kayo Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I have a couple of suggestions to inproove the forum 1. A Karma system (aka member rating) This is very easy , when someone does something helpful to the forum , he gets 1 Karma star (they are like warning stars , but positive) Its a good way to rate members. 2. Post wrappers I think members should be able to customize they're posts more. A post wrapper is a little section added in the profile where you can select what color , style , font etc your post should have. Mostly useless but fun 3. I was thinking about a shoutbox.. but that only works well on smaller forums. 4. Gang Icons Official gangs should have a icon to represent them and each member should have the icon in they're member group. This way it will be easy to see what gang a member belongs to and will make things cleaner. Just my two cents.. please comment on my suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I agree with your gang suggestion, but it would prove to be a lot of work for the admins. Post wrapper idea seems cool but again might be a lot of work. There was a shoutbox on the old forums and it got completely spammed up, so I don't think thats a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 1. Yes a karma system is a good idea, there are a few mods like that available, I'll look into which one is best for us. 2. Yeah I've seen this on other forums, GTAForums have it don't they, I'm pretty sure thats quite easy to make if someone hasn't already done it. 3. Shoutbox is a big no no, always gets spammed. 4. Gang icons I could work into the system, maybe by next week that will be in the gang system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airashii Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes, i'm all for everything but the Shoutbox, it attracts too much attention and so activity in the forum decreases as I once found out. Anyway, great stuff Kayo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Wouldn't these things make the forum a lot like GTAForums.com. THey have gang icons and karma stars. The post wrappers are cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomman Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Overall i support your ideas and it would make it a little more like gtaforums but here there are usershops and arcades whch make it unique from all the other gat style forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Post Wrappers and Gang Icons are my favorite ones. Wouldn't these things make the forum a lot like GTAForums.com. Oh yes! Because that's the ONLY site that uses those mods, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Sorry for the double post, but I just checked out the karma mod at GTA Forums. It's fuckin' lame. It's just the fuckin' warn system with a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Actually, the karma system is a thing that is a reward for doing good things. For example, i help many people and make a useful thread and a mod gives me it (it's shiny) and people can see that i did something good. The warn system (the wanted stars) suck ass though.

Spaz The Great Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 At GTA Forums, it's right there on the warn system. And it works a bit different. Instead of being punished for wrong doing, it's rewarded for good doing. It's competely sissy and stupid. It's like, "Oh, we should reward members for doing good things!", "Instead of punishing bad members, let's just reward good members!". Fuckin' pathetic.

Chris Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yes but a karma system is also good, it would encourage good things to be done instead of bad. If there was some reward for it anyway. Warnings would still be handed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomman Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Karma system is nessicery would it wouldn't be bad if you no what i mean. It doesnt really matter if we have it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Valentino Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ok here is the gta fourms warning stars And heres the gta fourms karma stars see the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yes but a karma system is also good, it would encourage good things to be done instead of bad. If there was some reward for it anyway. Warnings would still be handed out. Yeah, but I hate how people are getting more and more sugarcoated as the days pass. Instead of saying "No, that is not good. You should do blah, blah, blah", they say, "Wow! That's really good!". WTF IS THAT SHIT!? The Karm System is just another way of sugercoating shit.
