TBT Suggestions and Feedback thread

[xiaonu]

Well, since there isn't a section like most forums I've been on, I made this thread.

I'm hoping TBT moderators will further monitor content frequently, because I'm really tired of seeing duplicate threads. Most forums I'm active on will take note of a duplicate thread immediately and merge the threads together. Hope I managed to get my point across. I know there's a report button, but it's not solely the user's job as they are not moderators, and it may at times not get noticed. All it takes is a quick search and merge of threads.

Also, I feel TBT should add a farewell section along to the introduction forum. I noticed a few other forums have both, which is nice.

Farewell Board is definitely something I would like to see, but at the same time I think it will just encourage members to leave.

Here are some of my suggestions.

1. Soundcloud BB Code.

I sent a PM to Justin and Jeremy about this, but I think this should definitely be implemented.
I use soundcloud for most of my music, as I cannot find all of it on youtube. A simple code that'll work like the video BB code would be amazing and so useful.
Here is a link on how to do it if anyone's interested: https://blog.soundcloud.com/2009/07/28/soundcloud-player-in-forums-5-step-guide-for-soundcloud-bb-code/

I imagine that it would look a little something like this:

2. Bring Back Interest System

I think it has been long enough. Maybe more precautions could be taken, but this is still something that will help members get TBT. Earning TBT through art is hard enough and there are way too many shops to compete with.
I don't know how the mods could do this a little safer, but I am sure they can think of something!

3. Helpful Member Benefits

I have seen this on other forums.
Basically if there is a member who is doing the site really good, beneficial, and helps mods out a lot, they could get special upgrades like Avatar Height extension or something.

Nah man, a farewell board would just be sad

But the one feature I can think of is to bring back the lotto games, that and more mafia games.

I want more mafia mods, make it happen!

something I wanna see is an option to enable or disable your signature in all of your existing posts, and ofc soundcloud bb code added

I totally want the Interest System ;-;

Saving up TBT is way too hard

^this! I would have made over 30K+ just from interest alone if they didn't remove it.

Wow...anyone know how much the interest is...?

 

[cIementine]

I don't agree with farewell threads as they're often for attention, but I like the soundcloud and avatar height extension idea.

 

[Sholee]

It was 0.1%

I think if they were to bring the interest system back, it shouldn't be a "daily interest" because without a doubt it'd still get abused. Maybe something more realistic like monthly/yearly (lol, yearly rip everyone).

 

[Nightmares]

Wow I'd have like no extra bells then xD

 

[Sholee]

Wouldn't bans and removal of bells be enough to deter people from abusing the interest system again?

if it were a Yearly/Monthly interest, I'd hope it'd be more than the previous 0.1% rate.

Probably not. I doubt bells were taken away from individuals who abused it initially.

It's just unfortunate that due to a few people who abused it, everyone else got punished for it.


If the interest system isn't possible, what about a small increase in TBT earned with posts?

You say you see duplicate threads but you're not reporting them. You've only made two reports in your entire time as a member here, the last one being June 2014.

It is not our job to sit and read every thread/post; it's our job to deal with the problems that arise. To keep this place running smoothly we need the users of the community to help us and tell us when they see something that needs staff attention. If we're online and we're not doing reports or other mod-work (getting through our inboxes; staff discussions; watching specific threads), we're probably browsing the forum casually in which case we're looking at boards/threads that interest us. If we see anything that needs attention of course we'll take care of it without waiting for a report, but it's not our job to police every thread looking for problems. This is not our day job and asking that of us on a forum this large is asking the impossible. It's why the report system exists. See a problem, report it, and we'll deal with it as soon as we see it. Reports don't sit around that long waiting to be done we get to them pretty quick. So don't complain at us for not doing our job fast enough if you're not doing your part as a member of the community to bring these things to our attention.

Yeah, if you don't have a shop or whatever, the only way to earn TBT is by posting. 1TBT per post is pretty low. Most of the time I get 0 anyway.... ;-;

possibly bi-weekly? or once a week?

SHOP CART REMOVAL

Thread: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?236332

The top complaint during the restocking of collectibles seem to be:

"It was in my cart but then POOF the magic dragon"

My proposal/suggestion is to remove the cart from the shop. When someone clicks purchase, it will automatically load their inventory for them to bask in the glory of their new collectible. If they would like to purchase more collectibles, they would just need to reload the shop again and repeat the process. This will minimize the amount of people buying 10+ collectibles at once but still allow you to own more than one especially if there are multiple restocks. I feel that this will maximize the disbursements of collectibles to TBT members giving everyone a better opportunity during these restocks.


*prepares flame shield*

This is something I wrote up last year during the Halloween restocks, I still want to propose this idea and if the shop cart is not removable due to coding. I would like to suggest the removal of the "QUANTITY" box in the shop cart so that 1 person can't just buy 10+ collectibles with 1 click of their mouse. As well as the suggestion in the thread that once you have an item in the cart, it's taken away from the available stock and you're given a limited amount of time to purchase it.

I'm not familiar with coding or anything of the sort but it's just an idea to throw out. It's a bit disheartening to see during restocks only a handful of people getting majority of the collectibles only to sell them all for a mass profit.

Post longer quality posts and you get more bells.

I think the most you can get is 9 bells? I'm not too sure as I've never written that much. Just view your posts as essay assignments where you talk in a roundabout way to meet the word/page requirements aahhaha.
