either way. but that might make the movie versus a little cluttered.
Originally posted by CogitoDigi is away on business, but I will note the suggestion.
IMO, the comic books forum should be separated from the comic book movies forum. I think that might increase visibility and make it a little more active.There's generally some pretty good news/discussions to be found there, but I don't think many people look frequently.
Originally posted by srankmissingninThat's a good possibility.
Remove the Heroes and Smallville sub forums in the tv section and add Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.
What about a like and dislike button for posts.I like the suggestion. Raz will have to let us know if it's an option.With FB starting that trend, might as well keep up with current trends. Youtube also has it.
Originally posted by carver9I don't know much about anime or manga. I doubt there would be a new forum made though. I'm guessing it's something that would be noted in the OP.
Make an Anime forum where anime fts are separate from Manga and also make a "anything goes forum" where we can match up opponents from any universe, comic, movie, cartoon, etc, against each other without any fall backs. Also, make a thread for Wolverine, Hulk, and Captain America since they have been getting a lot of love for the past 8 yrs. You should also make a "don't get in Carvers way" forum so that if Pr challenged me, I can guide him to this thread and feel the power of banning him (only from threads made in that forum.).That's it for my list.
We're looking into an anything vs forum. Last time I checked, most mods wanted it separate from the main KMC site. I agree with them.
My suggestion last time around was to have separate Marvel and DC forums where all characters, events, etc. could be discussed. Then have sub forums for popular characters.
You know there are 1 or 2 global positions opening, and Pr is the senior forum mod. You may wanna rethink some of those comments. biscuits
Originally posted by Sin I AMI noted in the OP that there will be new mods.
more mod presence...sometimes when PR digi and bada are gone the trolls run amuck, maybe u can give some posters limited mod abilities to help alleviate the pain of dealing with them
Posters do have limited abilities to deal with trouble makers: the report function and PM a mod.
Originally posted by CogitoThere's the respect forum, which has a lot of scans. We won't be making a separate scan forum. I could make a scan request thread though.
Maybe make a separate forum for scans rather than dumping them all in the Character Ownage thread.Or a scan request forum
Edit: Kill the Comic book questions thread and make it a forum
Edit2: I'd like the ability to edit/delete my posts more than a few minutes after making them.
I doubt a comic book questions forum would go over. But I'll suggest it.
If you need posts deleted or edited after the time limit is up, PM a mod.
Originally posted by CogitoI like this idea, especially with the tournies. But Raz is the only person who can make the changes needed for this to work. If I had access I'd have no problem doing it.
Make some incentives for certain accomplishments (e.g. winning a BZ, poster of the month, stuff like that). Incentives could be bigger avatars or titles or gold stars or whatever with their name and stuff on the left.Also separate the BZ sub-forum. I almost never look at it the way it's set up now.
Originally posted by marwash22We've actually brought this up a few times. I was all for it. I'll note this idea to the other mods.
Make a TV Versus Forum like there is for Movies, Manga/Anime and Comics.
Edit: I've deleted posts which are off topic. I'll continue to do so. I need the thread free of clutter to read through, comment, and pass on suggestions to the other mods.
An actual system to declare winners in a versus forum thread. Such as punisher vs cable h2h for example. Once a certain number of posters chose who wins the thread is closed and mo longer discussed until new evidence to the contrary is presented.
Also immediate closing of copycat threads with minor or oddball twists such as wwh with Mjolnir versus superman and such
Increase the post editing limit, or remove it completely. The 15 minute rule gets aggravating at times.
Weed out some of the devoted forums that get hardly any activity--the Matrix and PotC forums for instance--and replace them with topics decided on by the consensus.
More mods might be a good thing too, but even that has the potential to be a double edged sword. Remember, its about quality not quantity.

.
If it's a different site then is it really needed to be talked about amongst you mods and Raz? Just pm a poster you trust or one of you guys make it and then make a sticky post with a link to it in all the vs forums.
Just seems an easy thing to do if that's the consensus.

I can understand your concern, but you can't make a decision based on the slightly negative effect that it would pose. Other forums have a longer editing time and as far as I can tell it hasn't caused problems. We might have a lot of characters, but I wouldn't classify the majority of people here as "petty individuals". And with the quoting system we would catch a lot of that.
I think the pros outweigh the cons here. I've seen too many double posts simple because the edit feature cuts you off after 15 minutes. I'm with Galan on adding to the time or taking it out completely.
Originally posted by marwash22Would petty crap like that occur? Likely so. However, usually by the time someone is called out on their BS, that initial post has already been quoted by another poster at least once--so it'd still be hard to act like you never said something that has already been quoted... Not to mention the posts you edit would still have the "last edited on" tag at the bottom. /shrug

Anyway, if there is one thing I've learned, it's that people here like to find loopholes in threads--even when the thread starter didn't intend for any of those loopholes to exist. Imo, extending the post editing time (or removing it all together) would be of great value to most people who make threads--especially here in the comic book forums. It would also be quite nice for those of us who make respect threads.

But I quite like loopholes in threads - often, its a good way of calling out someone's BS, when they try to make bait threads.
I think a minimum number of posts before someone can create a thread, or maybe a minimum amount of time (so they need to have been lurking or something for X number of weeks) would be good. It would certainly help with all those spam threads.

Originally posted by NihilistIt's been brought up but won't happen. As I told Sin, use the report function or PM a mod.
Temp emergency mods to deal with the regular sock/trolls that keep coming bck.The only ower they will have is to deal with these time wasters
Originally posted by Sin I AMWe're not here to ref or decide winners. Unless it's a one sided match, or I do it just to be a dur, no winners are declared. And a flood of fans could make a character a winner despite any other proof. Some people just either won't agree or concede their favorite character loses. Use the ignore if that's the case.

Use the report or PM a mod if there's a duplicate thread.
The edit time limit will always be here. No other mods want it changed. Neither do I. The last thing this place needs is people editing posts hours later. As I said before, if you need posts deleted or edited after the time limit is up, PM a mod.

I get the reasoning, and such wasn't disagreeing with it. Just saying seems a simple solution of making it an affiliated site. One (or a few of you) or someone you all trust makes a website with that as the purpose and have links on both this forum to said site and links on said site to this forum. It'll be like the sister site or something and if it catches on (due to be "official"😉 it should accomplish the goal. Just what I think is a simple way to implement wanting it as a separate site.
