something needs to change to control the level of spam on the forum

It certainly does Aranka.

Fizzer doesn't care about the forums. He won't udpate them.

I can't support anything because I have no votes (despite only allotting 1 vote to each of my ideas). I also cannot post any new ideas. This is a tangent (sorry), but I think any time Fizzer implements an idea you create on uservoice, your max votes should increase by 1. That way, if you had a good enough idea to implement, it encourages your continued participation.

And I agree the forums need a complete overhaul. But I'm not sure that is very high on his priorities and you need to either go all in (and change them completely), or do nothing at all.

imho there are more important / interesting things to be improved on warlight.

Perhaps adding rep pints to the forum but only positive so trolls do not feed on negative points and give mod power to downvote only.

Like I said, I don't think it is high on the list. Getting the mobile client %100 done is far more important IMO. But I do think the forums need to be overhauled after that. I've run a couple good sized message boards and they do add a lot to a site when done right. I'd be more than happy to help with it if he ever wants my help.

But in the absence of that overhaul I would like to see uservoice altered like I said to promote continued participation of active people.

I'm not sure how much customisation is possible on UserVoice. Keep in mind it's not something Fizzer created for WL, it's an external site. If they don't happen to offer that option then it's simply not possible. (Well, unless somebody can convince the UserVoice people the option should be added to their product.)

rvw, how do you convince uservoice to make a change?

Make a uservoice?

Pooh,
Suggestions for WL can be made on https://warlight.uservoice.com so I took a little guess and checked whether https://uservoice.uservoice.com exists. It does. :)

Before spamming them, maybe we should wait for Fizzer (or somebody else who uses UV for one of their projects) to confirm whether or not this functionality exists: requesting something which is already there would be a bit silly.

Yo dawg, it's actually a very good idea; Google "eating your own dawg food" (or "eating your own dog food", that will probably give more hits :p ).

I usually avoid writing on the forums, because every time you do, you should expect someone to come back with a smart alec comment, or a meme of your stupidity. I wonder if some of these forum people spend hours trying to disect your input to make some comback to make themselves feel good, or if the ability to attack someones idea just comes naturally.

uga, wtf did you break your forum silence for?



FYI, took about 5 seconds, not hours, to make a meme displaying your stupidity. Please go back to your streak of not posting here uga.

not sure if thats correct usage of bad luck brian,

pooh, yours doesnt use the correct format, it has to be, (first time ____, somehow turns otu terrible

Pooh: That was uncalled for (and, incorrect).

Pooh, Seahawk: Both of you are just as off-topic as Uga...

If collapsing posts ever gets implemented, I'd like to nominate the last few posts in this thread for a test run... :( (That's including this post itself, once those others are gone, it will be utterly pointless as well.)

>implying posting on this forum isnt utterly pointless.

if you can collapse posts than this whole thread would be pointless

Makes you think ...

If a post is collapsed in the forum, and there is no one around to read it, is it utterly pointless?
