Tycho Celchu	No friggin idea where to post this, so here will do. Can spammers in the suggestions area of the message board be denied posting or something? My particular notation goes to Beauba Fettt. :/ Kthx. ____________

Syn	Yet another reason why the forums desperately need the option to delete individual posts. I really don't see why Khan is so adamant against this; it would allow us to greatly reduce the spam content of forums without having to delete entire threads or lock them prematurely. ____________

Teniel Djo	On the other hand, I can see the argument that when debates about say, OOF a/e come up, you don't want somebody able to delete certain people's opinions ____________

Syn	Well, the last time a controversial topic was posted, rather than deleting a select few posts, the entire thing was scrapped.. At least the other way those players could simply re-post their comments. :P Bit easier that way than it would be to lose the entire thread. Besides, in theory the only people who should have mod access to forums should be those trusted not to abuse it in the first place. And if they do, remove that access. ____________

Wilhelm von Ismay	If possible maybe make it so when a post is deleted, it lists who deleted it and makes you fill out a reason as to why? That would remain in the topic as a shadow, showing who was the original poster. I know the Jolt forums have something like that. ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay

Wilhelm von Ismay	An example: http://tinypic.com/view.html?pic=29swwm In the post above, the poster deleted his own post and left behind the reason. Same thing happens when mods delete posts, but I'm not digging through it to find examples :P ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay

Khan	very nice, we'll do that then. something else: online/offline indicators. Do you want them? Yes/No/Annoying & Pointless ____________ Kids these days!

Togan Jano	pointless imho. if you want to know wether someone's online, look at the Who's Online page. ____________

Wilhelm von Ismay	It could be good, but it could be annoying too. What needs to be considered with it: 1) Showdown - Does it slow the Combine down or cause unnecessary queries 2) Design - An annoying icon would quickly make it hated. If anything, maybe just a small red/green "light" ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay

Teniel Djo	What about one of those yellow flashing things that appears next to system names in your cockpit? Just tag it beside somebody's name ____________

Syn	“pointless imho. if you want to know wether someone's online, look at the Who's Online page. ” ^ What he said. Besides, I don't want people knowing exactly when I'm visiting the forums - same reason I set myself invisible on most forums. I like my privacy. ____________
