Get rid of inactive mods... we dont really need more.

[Nuu™™]

I just wanna add that this topic was both a briliant and wonderful idea.

Now, why would you want to say that?

I said it first.

Login name fields!

With everyone changing their forum names around all the time (myself included), it gets very difficult to keep track of who is who. This is perhaps my biggest complaint about the forums right now. Rather than ban name changes, I think maybe we ought to have our login names listed somewhere under our avatars. This would give us an easy and quick way of finding out who is who.

Can't you just look in their profile?

too lazy

Alpha, I think one of the reasons he implemented that idea, was for increased security, y'know, having an -unknown to public- login, and a public -display name-.

Sorry about double post, but in this case it kind of enhances my point.

You know how when normal members, not mods, post, and decide to edit their post, you get that "this post was edited by ______ on _____"? Well, I was hoping you could make it so this would only be there for when a mod edited your post.

The thing is damn annoying first of all. And also, when you see the edit thing in a heated topic, you get the feeling that they may have gone: {expletive ninja'd by Cspace} YOU DIP{expletive hax0rd by Cspace}!, when all they did was edit a misspelling, or something which may give off the wrong idea.

I'm actually with Tick on this, I'd like that to change.

Same. Sometimes I delete my posts and rewrite then just to get rid of that evil edit line. >.<

^^Not so much a problem for Smods+ (Since we can choose for it to not be shown), But yeah, that'd be nifty.

Whenever I edit a topic, I make sure to let the person know.

@Ratty: If it were for security, I'm guessing everyone Display Name history wouldn't be public

I'm up for the killing ze market idea. And reimplementing the spellchecker (Easily done; PM me for the link).

And I've suggested a de-modding for years, but I suppose I wanted to be a mod then. But yeah, we don't need to keep all of the old ones, but I don't see any reason for new mods.

And make the timeout for display name changes smaller, so I don't have to stick with this one 4 lyphe.

If inactive mods were to be deleted, I'd quite like to see a slight reworking of the system at the same time. Something closer to what we used to have, so that regular mods are capable of a bit more than currently. I won't go into large detail here, but..

Basically I'd like to see the specialty boards being used more, with a bit less going in GD and CZ. Not that it'd be enforced not to post things there that could go other places, but just encourage it a bit. Then when more of our boards had a reasonable level of activity, expand how many boards each mod has charge of (factoring in the activity of the boards). So one person might get 5 or 6 of the less commonly used boards, while another might get only a couple if GD were included as one of them. We used to have regular mods handling a lot of the day-to-day moderation, which I think is something that has fallen away in recent years. That gives them something to do and a way to show themselves and help out, while the Smod team is still around for the broader picture, and if anything needs to be done quickly.

Alpha's suggestion- If it isn't a security concern, I don't have too much of a problem with it. It might still be better left in the profile though, as we don't want to much clutter under the name in every post, and it would only be useful on rare occasions.

'Edited by' tag- I remember it being pretty annoying when I was a member. If I had to guess why it had been incorporated, I guess it was so during fights people couldn't switch what they were saying without some sign of it (to my knowledge I don't think the logs show edits). As has been pointed out though, in this kind of situation the tag can also cause damage, and I don't think it's as big an issue as it once was anyway. I really don't have a problem with that being changed, although I do still agree that 95% of the time Mods should be making clear when they've edited somebodies post (either that way, or with a message within the post).

[Dragonman]

For the 'Editted By Line', just disable the option for mods to be able to remove that when they edit a post.

@Ratty: The display name history will show your real one as the first (I think? I never looked at those).

[Sir Blackma]

ummm okay, for the display name thing, that you guys are debating over i think that i'm on the side wher it shows under avatar. No, not for security, and not for anything unless its for the fact that its much more easy to get to when you come back after a year and want to know who the crap all these ppl are, but dont want to go individually to all of their profiles to find out, therfore, not for security, but for simplicity.
