what you want to see on the forum??
pips or some sort of more varied ranking system?
we have vbexperience.
I'd like to see a sports section, although I know a lot of people appose it.
Ok so really throwing this one out here, how about a change for alphas? Like a required join date of before 08, this doesn't bother me personally but I hear alot of people complaining about how alpha used to mean something etc, but now it's just people that have managed to slip the net, and rather than getting perm banned have just returned as a higher rank.
Rant over! thanks :D
Something for alphas.. hmmm
Promote those users that helps a lot? :P
hmm yeah, we're so underprivileaged ! heh..we're a good bunch really.
It'd also be nice to have the arcade back.
Arcade will return !
I agree on the users who help quite a bit getting something "special."
Helpful people like myself do deserve something. :blushing:Quote:

A picture gallery? I could fill it myself! Would be really sweet to have things like picture of the week too.
Got soo many pics from filming and shooting!
Canon would be happy.

Well, I don't really have any specific names. But mainly the most helpful people in a section (helps with problems, new users, friendly while helping, good reputation, etc.) Maybe a voting process to decide who earns the "award"?Quote:

a member of the month thing would be fitting then , unsure if one exists.
Make the close and open your own thread work :3
possibly a radio station too.
arcade, more perks for alpha/omega
Not sure if you mean everywhere or just in this section, but this is a postcount-less section, it shouldn't have thank you.Quote:

Well, in certain sections I guess. Mainly the MMORPG development sections, because people are always being thanked, other than the thread starter.Quote:

A file swapping system.
agree a bit on the alpha bit... spammers absolutely don't deserve it. things shouldn't be based on post count, but on impressions rather. maybe a voting system or smth that alpha votes if they want so and so to be alpha?
* report log section for each section
* disable 10chars thingy or reduce it
* advertisement sub-section for each section as it used to be
* better infraction system
* possibility od switching between themes.. I'd rather use the default one than this one
* make subscriptions working again, if paypal keep suspending your account, try some alternatives
- Increase the duration of infractions
- As foxx said, the ability to switch between skins
- Sports section
- Rewards for users who have been nominated by staff for good behaviour
- Subscriptions working
- Live Topic
- Top posters
- Moods
I'd like to have a new dark skin xD
i'm working on that cypher
jhewt, Any idea when its avaible to public?
I don't know, with all my work is hard to say when will be ready
OR... an automated system which will automatically change the rank of the top 5 (non-moderator) users with "thank you's" to "Helper" or something.Quote:

If possible, make the mobile skin optional. It just kills all of the forum features and leaves nothing but the basics.
Edit: And alphas should be bolded at 2.5k posts.
When your accessing via mobile you should only be having basics regardless...
Not necessarily. I have a very fast network on my iPhone and it used to load the forum very quickly.Quote:

Yep, sports section would be fantastic. And a 2 year required membership to become alpha.Quote:

Sports section never gets used.
Give it another shot, football season restarts soon, so there should hopefully be some discussion about that (I'd probably talk about the SPL). Canon has his airsoft to talk about, and I'm sure there's other things that we can get people discussingQuote:

Because then people like me get screwed over.
I've been a member for little more than a year and I'm active in almost EVERY section.
Portfolio, outerworld, music, entertainment, you'll always see me be the newest poster in those.
So I wont be able to gain alpha in 40 posts or so just because you dont like spammers?
I am a good helpful member of ragezone. I should be aloud to get alpha after 1 year.
/endrant :)
2 years for alpha seems fine to me, maybe a junior rank after a year and a long term after 5 years.
Sport section always dies :P
But this is exactly the problem, I apologise if this sounds like i'm having a go at you in particular, I'm not.Quote:

With users having to be registered for two years then it doesn't matter how much they post which will certainly reduce the amount of spam topics and posts. If anyone is really interested in keeping the forum clean and improving it overall they will agree.
That doesn't mean you are contributing at all, infact most of your posts are spam.Quote:

How about this; you need 1 year, but increase the post requirements to 2k.
Really, what's the big deal anyway? Not like Alpha is such a hugs thing lol, Omega is where the shits at.
well for starters mod me ;p
what about subscribing via mobile phone or something?
but i havnt a clue what else the forum could have, i would be cool to have like a mafia wars kinda game what facebook has lol, but for forum ;p
Okay I don't know if this idea has been posted yet but I just thought about it right now. x.x
So I know how referral links are against the rules.
But how about we actually help each other out?
Like game wise. Nothing with porn, money, or stuff like that.
There should also be a limited of how many referral links you can
post a week, maybe even a month. Like 3 a month or something.
I've never tried to send any one referral links or anything like that, because
I know its an annoyance and no one would actually do it.
But if people can post their twitters & facebooks and tell people to add them
to help them out then I think there should be a thread or a section were referral links are posted at.
But it should be strictly only for game website promos and stuff like that.
No forums referrals.
Just something to think about so that we can help each other.
Now I'm going to put a picture here so people will actually read this post.
Because I know how people get when it comes to pictures.

I like Limite's idea... but it should be enabled only in some forums, like debate forum and stuff... I mean, talking correctly in the spamzone and in the strict shack is not realistic
I swear, almost every post of yours i read just gets more and more idiotic. Ban people for bad grammar? So what, people NOT from the UK, America, or Australia get automatically banned? How about a VB mod which bans shitty ideas?Quote:

And not just because you are not from a english speaking country means that you will be automatically banned! >_>" Plus most countries give English to the kids in school...
me as supreme moderator
Ah yes, English in school... I did Japanese in school from year 5 all the way to year 11, and all i can say is "nice to meet you". Stop being ignorant, half the people here have horrible grammar but it is still perfectly easy to understand them, especially when it is clear that they have taken a huge effort to learn English.Quote:

Depends on how interested you are to learn english and how hard you try, if the only thing you can say in japanesse is that, it's because your school is either too bad or you didnt try learning on your own more. If you want to learn a language, you have to read that language, and use it when ever you can use it...
Plus people, specially from south america, speak bad english because they never ever saw english class as something interesting and worth the while, and down here everyone has english in school, this is not like where you live that you can pick what things you want to learn, so they actually did get good english education at school, but never cared about it, and then they discovered internet and mmorpgs and wanted to come to ragezone so they could make a private server, and then they realise that english class was worth the while... Or when they got rejected in a job interview because they didnt have a good english level...
Look it's a ridiculous idea that won't be used because it's idiotic and unfair, banning people who may have disorders such as dislexia for their poor grammar or typing is just discriminate and quite frankly disgusts me.
On a slightly merrier note, any of these ideas cutting the cheese?
me as moderator...
and you add what to this site?
Lmao.Quote:

I've aprox. 4+ warnings and 1 ban for that. Guess what... read my location.Quote:

The idea of those 2 years is great, maybe it would stop spammers to access to our porn :scared:
No, only those that are from countries other than the UK, Australia or America that didn't pay attention to their English class when they were younger. I don't mind how people express themselves as long as they use "they, they are, their, you, you are.." appropriately which is something that anyone who attended school should know.Quote:

In my opinion, banning for bad grammar is better than letting people post pictures as the following..
http://images.encyclopediadramatica....12yearsold.jpg
Example: http://forum.ragezone.com/f80/pic-12-year-boy-593503/
.. and laughing about it, the only thing funny about that thread is the moderator, who instead of removing such pictures just continued the thread as if disrespecting people in such way was normal behaviour.
Since I respect people with disorders (unlike other community members) and didn't take people with dyslexia into consideration when I wrote the idea, I will not continue supporting it.Quote:

Don't you think?
It would be a lot easier If you just add a Ip Filter to foreign ppl, is better for the webserver's CPU instead of checking the grammar.
Or better yet all of us could just have the common decency to accept that some people don't have as good a grasp of the English language than those of us born in English speaking countries and those of us with disorders.
And for those that just have poor grammar, why don't we just poitely correct them like decent human beings and stop getting on like a bunch of assholes?
Sports section so I can post some stuff about world cup soccer, and some soccer !!
I had a few bans a long time before I was mod, most of them by NoPeace.
So, I decided to do a little effort to learn english... and some users were really nice and helpful to make better my poor english.
If that thing comes out, I'll quit the forum and everything I did for this forum with me. -.-
Don't worry, Dan will not start auto banning members for poor grammar. I don't know the guy but in this case i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I don't think he's a complete asshole.Quote:

People could sell stuff for ragezone coins, trade it for another item or just simply sell it for the ingame value.
/ Maybe a bad idea when thinking of what this forum is mainly about.
So far I've read all the ideas on this thread.
They all suck.
Stop asking to be a moderator, even if you are joking its annoying.
Stop pushing your ideas onto people, the banning people for bad grammar idea sucks, we all know that.
Don't get butthurt people just because people refuse your ideas.
Come up with a new idea.
As for Limite you probably feel butthurt because of the I am 12 years old thread.
I only posted that picture because that was actually the only good
"I am 12 years old, and what is this." picture I could find.

Are you sure mate? Before this thread, without any request I did a skin for this forum and is not in use. Second to that, I was mod twice or more dunno really, demodded by my self.Quote:

So what you're saying is that thanks to NoPeace's English grammar enforcement you actually improved your English.Quote:

If it enhanced your English skills then I don't think it sucked so badly.Quote:

I know the skin you did. It doesn't suck at all.Quote:

That's why I insisted that we shouldn't get hung up over one idea while theres other ideas to be read.
Reread the ideas,
I forgot that I had liked Canon's idea for the Alphas.
A required date of more than 1 year.
And the switching between skins idea.
A lot of forums have that, why has ragezone been without it for the longest?
It's clear to me that you struggle to read English more than anyone here.Quote:
