How would you change the I-Mockery forums?

[Chojin]

As I mentioned before, there are gonna be big changes around here in the not-too-distant future. Many of you are always bellyaching about this or that, so here's a formal thread for you to officially put your suggestions in my hat. OFFICIALLY.

I suggest that anyone with a south park avatar has to pay each of us $0.25 to read their posts, per view.

[Rongi]

i think zeldasbiggestfan should be neutered

you know, just incase his sister sits on one of his cumshots

[Zomboid]

Place a cap on the amount of posts new members can make her day.

[ArrowX]

2nd'ed zomboids

also make us able to edit Thread Titles if possible note my "Cillicon Knights Sues Epic Games" thread

[Creepy-critters]

I propose we replace the forum infrastructure with a block of goat cheese

[Fathom Zero]

I'd like the neon green and red colors back, even if it's just optional.

[Chojin]

you can't edit your own threads' titles? willie obviously could.

[kahljorn]

I would make that guy named Kahljorn a supreme administrator on the message board so he can trick people.

[Chojin]

So, I would like some actual suggestions.

[kahljorn]

Some guy above you made an actual serious suggestion.

[Zomboid]

That was me.

[Guitar Woman]

An ignore thread feature, which I give credit to milhouse for thinking of.

Also, I don't know if you've fixed this, but I'd like it that when I've read every new thread in a forum, the icon for that forum turns gray without me having to go back into it a few dozen times.

[Guitar Woman]

I'd also enjoy having an edit button again if it's not too much angst and suffering on your part :(

[Emu]

No limit on avatar sizes. It gives you a reason to replace the avatars of morons with furry porn if they have unreasonably large ones.

[AChimp]

I want the ability to ban people with the click of one button, rather than typing their name in on a different page!

[AChimp]

Also, Rog needs to upload some TTF fonts into some directory or something (so says the vBulletin anti-spam threads) so that the CAPTCHA for user registration isn't easy to crack.

Unless we can ban all Gmail addresses. :(

[GADZOOKS]

An ignore thread feature, which I give credit to milhouse for thinking of.


Is that another one of your mental problems where you are physically unable to click on a thread you don't like? I seem to have no problem doing it with your threads.

And I think Milhouse was joking when and if he said that because it's the stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard.

As a serious suggestion, I suggest putting an actual Under 18 block on all Loveline threads and that disgusting porn thread that is in Mock Wars. Kids are naturally stupid and will go anywhere for acceptance and shouldn't be corrupted anymore by the workings of a robotic porn spammer, a 40+ year old codger and his online mistress, and an a guy with a wandering eye for every gross porn site on the web. It's bad enough they are wasting their best years on the internet. Why should we be responsible for turning them into sexual deviants that think this board needs a THREAD IGNORE FEATURE, UGH!

I hate kids, but not that much.

[darkvare]

a little bigger default font i almost can't see it

[Fathom Zero]

As good as grey on black is, I'd appreciate a lighter color for the font.

[Guitar Woman]

Gadzooks, the ignore thread feature would make it so that if someone makes a new post in a thread and you don't care because you hate the thread, it won't show up as having new posts. Or something, it's mainly because I hate it when the music forum has a new post every five minutes and it's from the fucking what are you listening to thread, then I click on the forum and am disappointed that there are no actual posts to be read.

[Cfr5]

But there are posts to be read.

[noob3]

i need to be more important

[Guitar Woman]

Sure, but that doesn't mean I wanna fucking know about it.

[Chojin]

Place a cap on the amount of posts new members can make her day.

Don't you think that letting them post as much as they want sorta tells you right off the bat whether or not they suck, though? If there's a limit set by the software, you might not know until it's too late and suddenly they're vets and they change their name to Carnivore or something.

An ignore thread feature

I'll actually look into this one, because with the changes I'm making to the forums, the ratio of threads to forums will be a LOT bigger. Plus, the most-bumped threads are usually the worst ones.

No limit on avatar sizes. It gives you a reason to replace the avatars of morons with furry porn if they have unreasonably large ones.

I've never needed a reason to give someone a furry porn avatar in the past, and making more work for myself in the future (having to go in and manually reset their profile every time some idiot from gamefaqs thinks they can bring Harry Potter in HD-DVD to their avatar box) doesn't seem like a good idea. Unless I'm missing something here.

I want the ability to ban people with the click of one button, rather than typing their name in on a different page!

I agree big time. To add to this, I'll also look into returning the 'find out who this fuck this actually is' button from phpBB, and make IP bans a little easier too.

I suggest putting an actual Under 18 block on all Loveline threads and that disgusting porn thread that is in Mock Wars.

Neither of these forums are going to exist on the new boards, and the NSFW thread won't exist either. The software age limit might actually be a good idea as a thread option that the original poster can set, though, and I'll look into that. Not that it's especially hard to HACK THA SYSTEM, but if I can retroactively set peoples' ages back too, this might also serve as an idiot barrier for good threads.

a little bigger default font i almost can't see it

Agreed. Anyone have a problem with this?

As good as grey on black is, I'd appreciate a lighter color for the font.

I kinda like the muted colors of the forum. Is anyone else having issues? Your monitor may also be darkening due to old age. :eek

Good suggestions, everybody, keep 'em coming :picklehat

[Guitar Woman]

No porn thread? :tear

[Zomboid]

Don't you think that letting them post as much as they want sorta tells you right off the bat whether or not they suck, though? If there's a limit set by the software, you might not know until it's too late and suddenly they're vets and they change their name to Carnivore or something.

They slip by now anyway. It wasn't too long ago that dj spock came on here pretending to be an ugly girl and more than half of the regulars didn't notice something was up. A limit would just prevent all the dumb shit that you guys end up deleting anyway. People who suck always seem to stick out quite a bit even if they're low key.

[GADZOOKS]

Neither of these forums are going to exist on the new boards, and the NSFW thread won't exist either. The software age limit might actually be a good idea as a thread option that the original poster can set, though, and I'll look into that.

Even better! Thanks! I may also suggest that possibly as a warning you can put miscreants in CHILD MODE if they are acting like one and then are blocked from good threads until they grow up. CHILD MODE should have pastel colors too!

[Esuohlim]

Once a week we should have a thread where everyone who wants to participate gets to throw in the name of one person they want banned. The person with the most votes gets banned forever.

[Chojin]

Esuohlim - That's exactly the kind of attitude we're DISCOURAGING HERE MISTER MISTER

Gadzooks - I like that idea :picklehat

[Angryhydralisk]

Since there's no more post count, what about the possibility of deleting old topics? It's not like there's anyone here who appreciates (Or even remotely dares to post in) the old, old topics unless it's in thread backups.

[Vengeful Asparagus]

23 words....Glitter on every post and page.

[Chojin]

I'm pretty sure rog wants to keep all the old threads there to bump up the 'total posts' number on the forum to attract better advertising.

That aside, I tend to search for old posts a lot myself.

[GADZOOKS]

Would it be more feasible just to have thread get automatically lock after a certain time of inactivity (like a month or two without a new post). I know it may cause problems for threads that might only be updated after a long span of time (White Rat in Iraq or The cops took Shifty's baby away part IIV) but I think we can survive an extra thread on the same subject then having retards bringing back a dinosaur to give their two sentence take on Mischief Makers.

And I hope that someone could make a sticky for an all purpose WHAT IS THIS MOVIE / WHAT IS THIS GAME. I attempted to do so and it was successful for only about one month and then people forgot about it and started making more stupid WHAT IS THIS? threads again. It's ridiculous to start a thread for something that can be answered in one to five posts.

I also suggest anyone who makes a WHAT GAME/MOVIE THIS IS thread should be put into Child Mode for not reading the rules and using the all purpose thread.

I would also like a reduction of this http://i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69697131 shit made by a possible CHILD MODE lifer. If you want to make a thread about Hot Fuzz and mention the DVD release of it, fine, but put some fucking content in your post other then "OOGH THOUGHT MOVIE FUNNY, OOGH THINK SHAUN OF DEAD FUNNY MORE". The same thing goes for people who just post a picture of something or a trailer link PRESENT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT YOU IDIOTS, AND MAKE IT LONGER THEN ONE SENTENCE.

[noob3]

I'd bring back Hobo Renee!

Profiles, so we can write about ourselves! Like the old ezboard days :D

[Chojin]

I like that idea, noobthree!

[Guitar Woman]

make a secret emoticon that is invisible and will allow us to post messages with less than six characters. BUT SHHHH

[Chojin]

I agree that the 6 character limit is stupid, especially because i say 'no' a lot.

[Guitar Woman]

I thought of a way to beat it, which was to take a screenshot of empty space on the forum and post it right after a post which will register as more than six characterss, but it was too much of a hassle to do more than once.

[Misdemonar]

more hot chicks,

[Fathom Zero]

Let's make it happen, Cap'n!

[arg_zombies]

Cut
Down
The
Number
Of
'Guests'
>:

[Zomboid]

and the number of annoying british kids.

[arg_zombies]

Yeah
Them
Too
>:

[Fathom Zero]

The forum should be self-aware.

[Guitar Woman]

Also suggestion: I would love it if you would make it so that if an image is too big to fit on the screen horizontally, the forum would stretch instead of cropping it. You know, like I asked when we first started using vBulletin? Yeah, that'd be great.

[noob3]

yes!!! I can't see SHIT on this forum!

[tenno]

I just want more posts about me, and how much you all have missed me.

[Guitar Woman]

I missed you ;_;

[tenno]

Weren't we fighting last time I was in here? HA!

I miss you too, deeply, like deep yo.

[Jixby Phillips]

Well first of all lets get some more posts going up on there, this place is a grave yard come on people

moore me

MORE me, excuse me

add more babes

[GADZOOKS]

Here is another post! I am adding more to the equation.

I think the Mock Wars forum should not exist in the new forum. It was fun for me to make silly threads, but not no mo.

[Chojin]

G-Z, I agree, and Mock Wars (not the competition, the useless forum) will not be in the master plan.

[RaNkeri]

Could it be possible that when I click "Mark all forums read", it would actually do something? Because if I'd now click that button, every forum section would show up in blue the next time I log in. :/

[Rongi]

Can we at least have a gay-ups type forum to put on display all the atrocities some of these faggots commit?

[GADZOOKS]

I agree with that (it should be called the Mad Max Memorial Forum) but no one should be able to post in them. That's where the problems begin.

[Rongi]

that's an awesome name for a gay-ups forum

i'm hoping that when we make the switch, mods can lock in avatars :(

[noob3]

let's not name a forum after anyone gay because it might lure tham back here thinking we like them

[Perndog]

The Retro Kat Nostalgia Forum

[Shyandquietguy]

If we do do new forums, a warning in advance if the forum sucks would be nice. Preferrebly something undertone like "Qaurts, qaurts, qaurts!", since you can smell the wonton social adventures a mile away. Then after a month or two you can change the name back to what you originally intended, say like "General Blabber."

Anyways, I call for a "Mildly warm roast beef and cheese sandwich themed haiku's only" forum.

[MLE]

Also suggestion: I would love it if you would make it so that if an image is too big to fit on the screen horizontally, the forum would stretch instead of cropping it. You know, like I asked when we first started using vBulletin? Yeah, that'd be great.


I agree with this, but i don't think the forums should stretch. I think the images should auto-shrink to the size of the window in which it's being viewed.

[Guitar Woman]

Except then it gets pixeleated and gay, and I'd rather have to scroll sideways than look at an ugly picture. But as long as it doesn't just crop the image anymore, I will be happy.

Unrelated: your new forum theme made me giggle.

[Fathom Zero]

There should be a random .mp3 playing in the background that no one should be able to turn off.

[Emu]

Can we have the words "ftw," "lulz," "4chan" and "mudkipz" replaced with furry porn?

[Emu]

Also can we have a spoilers tool where it hides anything behind the tag unless you click a button to show it?

[MLE]

Actually, this would be an incredibly useful tool for several reasons. For one, if someone really wants to quote someone, they can quote into a spoilers tag (maybe this should be default), and also in the art shit forum, for those fags that don't know how to make a small image click to show a large one, they can put their large-ass image under a cut. That way if you're just going in to see the comments, you don't have to scroll past a whole episode of my crazy dad to see them. I frequently read this forum, but the lack of common sense in that forum has made me kinda back away.

Ps-i liked my crazy dad, so don't take offense at the context

Pps- for anyone who still doesn't get what rongi and I mean by this, just think of a livejournal cut.

[Chojin]

You mean agree to Emu, right?

I'll add EXPANDA-QUOTES into the 'look up' list.

[Emu]

Thx 4 the sav :)

[MLE]

Oh, right. sorry emu ;> I guess you should get the credit there.

[Guitar Woman]

I just thought of a great one, you know how when you click on someone's username it shows you that little list of options pretaining to that person? Make one of them "Add User to Ignore List."

[MLE]

I totally agree, no relation to the person posting above me.

[Guitar Woman]

I thought of that while adding EndersGame to my ignore list, he gets credit for it too!

[MLE]

I don't have anyone on ignore, because that way, I can feel like an elitist vet getting mad at the stupid people.

I was about to say stupid new people, but some people just don't change.

[Guitar Woman]

I GET IT OK YOU CAN STOP NOW :tear

[MLE]

hahahahahaha ;D I think that just made my night.

[Esuohlim]

I like the gay-ups forum idea. Is there a way where we can make particularly offending members "gay-ups only" where they are only allowed to post in the gay-ups forum and no where else. And then there they can wreak havoc and do whatever they want in there without annoying upstanding citizens of this fine forum such as myself. Courage the Cowardly Dog could use it as an outlet to post all his shitty threads, for example!

I know this is barely a step-up from my nicely phrased BAN EVERYONE THAT SUCKS suggestion but work with me here ok

[Jixby Phillips]

That way if you're just going in to see the comments, you don't have to scroll past a whole episode of my crazy dad to see them. I frequently read this forum, but the lack of common sense in that forum has made me kinda back away.

Hey what the fuck dude how dare you say something like this!

Ps-i liked my crazy dad, so don't take offense at the context

OH hahah sorry for yelling earlier

As someone who has a vested interest in the comments of MY CRAZY DAD, I completely agree. Scrolling past it to get to read new comments was always annoying. This is a good idea for everyone.

[MLE]

I TOTALLY AGREE

[ItalianStereotype]

I don't like gay ups, it's just /b/ with all of the stupid people and none of the porn.

[Seven Force]

Gay ups is great

Any possibility of zbf being left to his own homosexual devices without bothering anybody else is ok with me

[Rongi]

I don't like gay ups, it's just /b/ with all of the stupid people and none of the porn.

I think if a person ( or persons ) is ( or are )responsible for a numerous amount of threads in gayups, they should be banned. Kinda like a three strikes rule or something

[zeldasbiggestfan]

A block sig feature, taking out one sig in particular or all of them. Persons choice.

[MLE]

I think if a person ( or persons ) is ( or are )responsible for a numerous amount of threads in gayups, they should be banned. Kinda like a three strikes rule or something

I believe rongi is right. I don't think it should be a venting channel for them, as that would lead to the misconception that they're accepted.

[Emu]

I think we should be allowed to 5-star rate threads in Gayups so that we can ensure that the idiots who have been dumped therein are as humiliated as possible.
