TRMNTR Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Click on the IndianVideoGamer banner diverts us to the the 'Game of the Year 2007 Awards' page! ...rather it should divert us to the HOME PAGE of 'IndianVideoGamer.com' please take this into consideration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 We should a put a minimum number of post to be posted by a new member before he can post in Trading section. This will keep Traders away and also give new members a chance to see through our site before making duplicate entries... 30 Post should be a good number....

john117 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 good suggestion AtheK .. many forums follow this and IMO its a good practice , it allows new members to get adjusted to forum before they can start trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 10 smilies per post....and 10 should be enough to convey your point.....if not, try words peace IMHO, there seems to be an overkill of smilies over here. I PMed MT about it a couple of days back. Why not encourage people to actually post something in their replies instead of just posting one smiley. So many times I have clicked on a thread expecting something that would help the discussion move forward, only to be greeted by a smiley, or worse, "I agree!"! This is what I PMed MT. Use 10 smileys if you so wish to, but at least back it up with something that would contribute to the discussion in some way at least. From what I see, some of the discussions progress like this: Poster 1: Poster 2: Poster 1: Poster 2: Poster 1: Poster 3: Admin / Mod: Poster 1, 2 & 3: Poster 1, 2, 3 and Admin /Mod: Result: 9 posts that contributed nothing, got some 60 views and at least 10 regulars who decided not to come back to the thread for a LONG time. I am just suggesting that posts with just smileys in it should be discouraged. Not banned.....just discouraged. What do you guys think?

john117 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 now if i try to quote ur post I will be able to post only one smiley.. if this rule is applied then the smileys in the quote should not be considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaiTaaNi billi Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^^ i agree that smileys are overused, but we cant really create rules against stuff like that @athek: we had actually agreed to keep a min post count for access to the trading post...vin was supposed to do it, but i guess he never got around to it...i'll do it tomorrow i also have a suggestion: i think the member titles (game characters) is kind of lame and serves no purpose....i think its better if we have member titles that actually reflect the member's seniority....and respected members would have custom member titles..what do u guys think? peace absolutely....................do it asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we cant give them seniority based on that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john117 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) I think member title should denote some kind of hierarchy or rank , some random characters name doesnt serve the purpose, since we dont have a rating system ,no of posts can be used , a member can move up the rank when he hits particular landmark, like : 10 posts : settler (I am just giving example.. admin can come up with more interesting ranks ) 100:pleb 500:Cheiftain 1000: warlord 2000:Noble 3000:Prince 4000: Monarch 5000:Emporer 6000:Immortal . . 10000: Gawd LIKE .. (MT , It will look good on ya) its just an example you guys can get creative and make some interesting titles .. Edit: Well if no of posts is not sufficient then we can have a peer rating system and that can be used to rank the member..

shaiTaaNi billi Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 i think it should be up to the mods to decide about the custom titles and yea it should be free from the criteria of post count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) And also Usage of Bump Option in trading post should be changed from 2 days to a week Edited March 27, 2008 by AtheK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
