KMC News & Suggestions

It seems people are purposely misinterpreting comics just to make their side win. Any ideas?

I think the best way to take care of this is to actually to give both sides a forum to scrutinize EACH "feat" and allow time for debates and interchange of ideas to occur til a consensus is arrived (via BZ judge votes or mod ruling, I dunno) after a set time period is given for said arguments to be presented from all sides. Once the the "feat" interpretation is properly scrutinized and debated on, THEN it can be added to the respect threads with maybe a "confirmed" tag on it or something. An "interpretation" freeze can then be implemented wherein such a "feat" will not be open to other "interpretations" up until new evidence comes up to disprove/retcon said "interpretation" (current interpretation is still used until the debate on whether the retcon/evidence provides suffiicent reason to have an "interpretation" change).

An entirely separate forum w/c scrutinizes "feats" prior to acceptance or confirmation w/in respect threads would be needed, however.

Such a thing would normally take time but it accomplishes 2 things: 1) gives ppl something new to debate about (this is actually my fave thing to argue about and not who wins in a fight) and 2) prevents ppl from repeating tired and old arguments that simply stalemate due to both sides having reasonable yet completely different "interpretations" of "feats".

My 2 cents.

A few more mods or deputy Mods

A lock or temp ban on making new threads for people who consistently make bad threads.

👆 on Bada patroling the respect threads

And I would love a pro wrestling board, I see a lot of fans already on these boards

The Sports board is enough. There is a WWE thread there and people rarely comment on it.

Less boards is better.

KMC already has dozens of boards that have no activity at all.

Problem with too many forums is that people just get too split up.

Thx ill check it out

If possible get rid of all the separate movie boards and TV shows that are dead such as:

Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Terminator, Indiana Jones, Transformers, Smallville, Heroes etc.

The Spider-Man, X-Men forums rarely get attention. Superman and Batman too, but I don't want to incur PR's wrath.

There is a lot of segregation is what I'm trying to say. Just to get the point across; there are like 4 different Man of Steel threads in KMC

That's a very good point.

Keeping things from being too spread out is a good way to keep up activity.

Suggestion: fix the search function. Except for searching thread titles, my searches bring no results beyond March 2013. It's really weird.

Ditto for the search function. It only shows results upto 27 march and no further.

Yeah, we talked about the editing rules for Respect Threads already, as I personally have respect threads I won't put up until then (Aquaman, Pym).

And yeah, if they make Bada, NJ or I global, expect things to change sharpish when it comes to disciplining people. There's at least half a dozen names that could do with a short banning, tbh.

I've got a list of characters I've been collecting scans for, but I'm totally with you, I don't really want to put the effort in if its going to be the same as it is now.

A lot of forums need to disappear.

Never give Newjack the mod title. biscuits

Global would be good.

How come you don't have the title as a mod

He hasn't been properly "knighted" by Raz. I hear it's a pretty private and ugly experience - swearing fealty and doing an unspeakable act for him.

Editing shouldnt be time limited especially in the CB respect forum....oh and puting quan on ignore should be rule #1 on every forum....biscuits

I've posted these suggestions so far:

Remove the Heroes and Smallville sub forums in the tv section and add Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

Make a TV Versus Forum like there is for Movies, Manga/Anime and Comics.

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.

Most of the other suggestions were good ideas. They would just prove too difficult to apply unless a mod was given admin powers, which probably will never happen.

Are there any other ideas for cleaning up the TV and Movie forums, or any other franchises which you think need added?

Post editing unlimited for the respect forum. It'd get dodgey for any other forum, but the respect forum pretty much needs it.
Especially with scans getting deleted by sites, and it creates clutter just adding one feat.

That's really the only feature I'd like to see added to the site. Everything else is up to the rules within a specific forum.

As for forums that need to be phased out, you just need to look at the post counts. Although I think some sections being higher up on the page would help with traffic. Misc for example.

Ditto on unlimited editing in the respect forums and increase the duration of time that we can edit in the other forums. 12 hours should suffice. Necro bumped threads are bad enough. Now imagine phuckers necro bumping and reincarnating their prior posts from said necro bump...
