The Question and Answer Board

[Bird of Prey]

Mat, Bob, Muell and everyone else...


Moderated boards - I thought IH already had moderated boards! But it appears that you are discussing adding the ability of Moderators to exclude certain users from posting to their boards.
If the board is a stock board I would vote absolutely not. For personal threads (Zeev, Arch, etc) and non stock boards...maybe.
I was under the impression that things were working smoothly under the present system. If that is the case the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies.


Scoring, ranking, users/boards - If your are going to do it...


DON"T TELL ANYONE WHAT THE BASIS OF THE RANKING IS!!!!!

EVER!!!

Just from what you've said already everyone knows that the more bookmarks they have the higher they'll score!

I personally don't miss the users ranking. I think a better idea would be for Matt & Bob to select a group of 20 boards or so that get promoted in a rotation on the front page. Each visit to the home page would have a different board featured in the feature spot. the IH users should be able to figure out who is a guru and who isn't from there.


My latest idea for being able to know when someone on my favorites list was online or not.

Hey,if everyone agreed with me all the time I'd have no one to "discuss" things with. Besides I did say that it would be OK for there to be a toggle to allow a user to remain "anonymous" as regards online presence. Besides if I really want to know if someone is about I can check to see if they are making posts when I'm online.
BTW, for those slightly less paranoid this feature has been know to get people that have never interacted before to begin exchanging posts. sometimes meeting new people can be a positive thing!

Have a great day!
