Suggested Problems list

[Tyroki]

Firstly I would like to say that I've done this on behalf of someone.

Right, lets get this show on the road. This first post is for rules of this thread.

1) No sniping. The past is the past, and we're leaving it there.

2) No pointing fingers. This especially goes with rule number one.

3) Respect others opinions, and if it doesn't seem like your opinion is getting anywhere with anyone, drop it and agree to disagree. I will not be having the past few months restart in this thread.

4) A reinforcement of rule number 1. The past is the past. Do NOT bring it up in here unless it validly makes a point that won't simply flare people up. This means no talk of certain 29 members, and no talk of a specific ex-admin. Understood? This thread is for those that felt they could not speak about issues without having their heads bitten off (And no, BC isn't the only one believe it or not). If you feel something isn't right, this thread is the one to say it in. HOWEVER!

5) No ripping into people (Attacking them) >.< This reinforces rule number 1 yet again.

6) Normal AnimeB written rules apply. We're be pulling nothing hidden, so don't worry about that.

7) Don't scream or shout when something you've said isn't taken on board. Pun not intended. Also don't go off your rocks if something isn't implimented. We each have our own opinions on what may or may not be wrong, if anything is indeed wrong

8) Give all ideas a fair amount of processing time. Think about them. Hear the arguments for them AND against them. Ideas CAN be refined and made better.

9) Please don't spam in this thread >.<

We're here to discuss what may or may not be potential problems. And we're not here to scream and shout if something isn't implimented or if the discussion doesn't go our way. No. We're here to simply, and professionally, discuss what we each think are problems, and whether or not they are threats.

Some of you may consider this thread a bad idea. However, I will be keeping a close eye on this thread and will be enforcing the rules as stated. I'll give warnings via PM. Lets keep this civil.

Please note these are only the rules of this thread alone and the discussions in here.

Thank you.

[BobCat]

Yoosh.

I'd like to have the following rule as well.

8) Give all ideas a fair amount of processing time. Think about them. Hear the arguments for them AND against them. Ideas CAN be refined and made better.

[Tyroki]

Ah yes, a very good point BobCat >.> I can't believe I forgot that one.

Anyway. Go for it peoples! (Remember though, I'm watching you... keep to the rules. I'm really serious about the thread, and I'm not afraid to enforce the rules. But I won't do so unfairly. Follow the rules as set, and there shouldn't be a problem anyway ^^)

[Death]

will be sure to keep them in mind if i make suggestions.

[Orca Misaki II]

I wholeheartedly agree that this thread is a good idea. We've needed something like this for a while, anyway.

At the moment, I don't really see any immediate problems. If I observe anything, I'll make mention of it here.

[BobCat]

How about this:

FIX THE REPORT POST FUNCTION. Currently it sends an e-mail to the affected moderators. Since many mods are AWOL or do not check their e-mail AND nobody actually receives any notification whatsoever, it makes the staff appear non responsive to member concerns.

REPORT POST should send 1) a PM to the moderators involved and 2) have something in the ModCP which allows for processing of reported posts by higher ups if that mod does not respond. The "send email" function part should be dead.

[Tyroki]

I can most certainly agree with that one actually. We do need a working Report Post button for members and mods to use in order to catch the attention of those mods that are involved with that specific thread.

Mods will need to be active of course, and members should remember that each of us Mods lives in one part of the world, and we each live quite spread out from each other, being affected by different time zones.

In otherwords, we all live in different areas of the world ^^ So your day time may be their sleep time. Members should not be frustrated when something isn't done absolutely immediately. If the mods were to be members who lived in the same time zone, we'd have problems in all of their forums when they sleep :3

I just thought I would get that in, but yes, we do need a proper working Report Post button.

These sound more like SSF rules than AnimeB rules..

Well, you know what they say...

INTERNET: SERIOUS BUSINESS



On-Topic:
I agree with these rules..


But what does "ripping" mean?

[Tyroki]

Attacking. No attacking.

Rules modified to prohibit spam. Now please, stop spamming in here -.- Agree with the rules in silence, don't post your agreement. The rules are there to be followed. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with them. If you don't agree with them, don't post, if you do, save your posts for the actual discussions please.

Anyhow, I'll just bring up a concern of mine that I believe I mentioned before, but it got lost pretty quickly among a lot of posts. I'm concerned with issues and people who know each other from other forums and then bring it here it to Animeb. What brought this to my attention were some members from the Mahora Academy. It's just not fair to Animeb, to bring along issues from other forums and outwage them here. This is not something that is a huge problem right now, but I'm concerned it's going to be.

[KC]

Yeah, i gotta agree with you there.

Lordokagespencer kept moaning about that mahora academy.

what is it anyway

[hinarei]

what happens on other boards should stay on other boards. We're only concerned with what's happening on here, yes?

Sure, there can be mentions and gatherings and such, but continually badmouthing other places such as MA and hinalove (only bringing those up cos it's happened before, I'm not looking for a slanging match) isn't a great idea

I don't know what to do to "fix" the report post feature. As far as I'm aware it's functioning perfectly as designed. As Ty said, if this doesn't reach a mod quick enough for your liking, it's usually down to timezones. In that case, PM a gmod or admin or another mod for that forum; spread the word

[Tyroki]

It's working in you're skin correct? But is it working in ALL of the skins?

Suggestion: Drop the hinalove definition of spam, where almost anything is now declared "spam"

Examples:
Moderator positions
Moderator positions
What's with the hidin'?

Basically speaking, spam has been defined as "I don't like your opinion" so moderators will just say the "S" word (spam) in order to silence people.

It is a shame many of those who escaped from hinalove and came here have forgotten how bad it really was. This was one of the issues there.

No wonder people are leaving this place in droves and not bothering to even post a going away message. They're afraid of being accused of spamming.

AnimeB always has had threads which went off topic to side discussions. The proper procedure is NOT to try to silence people, but to SPLIT THE THREAD into the original discussion and the side discussion.

[Tyroki]

Yes but only the mods who run a forum can split threads in that forum, correct? So, if the mods aren't online and the conversation continues, it gets very difficult for them to split it It's all about mindset, neh?
