Well TTG has recently been going down hill. And i would like you the members to help us to fix it. Please post your thoughts on what we can do to improve the site. Any post are apprecietd. Also include on what the elites and mods can do to help to.
-
More mods that are active.
You posted this in wrong section
/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':o\' />?
-
Yeah i posted this in the wrong section.... only so people would post in it.
-
Well, i've only been saying it since forever...but TTG needs a new mod...
thats the reason I am quitting...I can try all I want to help out this site, but without the mods taking action, everything I say / do doesnt matter...
When I tell a mod somethign that needs to be fixed...i should NOT receieve ANY of the following responses:
1) "I'm too lazy"
2) "That requires work"
3) "I wouldn't want to be accused of only doing what you tell me"
4) "Why don't you do it? Oh wait, you CANT! AHAHAHAHA" -.-
-------
The only way this site will be restored back to its original glory is if you START ENFORCING THE RULES!!!
When something is in the wrong section, MOVE IT...when some1 flames, SUSPEND THEM! ...if there's spam, CLOSE IT!!!!!
This doesnt get done...i am CONSTANTLY telling the mods what needs to be done and none of it ever happens...i ask 5-6 times and still nothing...if it gets done at all, then it is usually done wrong...
Pureblood does great if he actually see's it...Aragost flat out refuses to do anything...and Allanon is lazy...
TTG needs a mod that actually does something...
TTG needs a mod that will pm the person when their thread gets moved...meaning they will know not to do it again...some1 who is on all the time...some1 who knows the rules and exactly how to enforce them...some1 who isn't too lazy to click their mouse 3 times... -.-
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT!!!!!
-
See pureblood is smart.
TTG needs alot of things,
More Active mods in the RS sections. Im not trying to flame any of you, But Pureblood your not on alot anymore and i can understand.
Allanon isnt on that much..and Nick does just about nothing. He's not active AT ALL. His mod should be taken away and givin to someone MORE active and that will actally do somthing.
Like Jblee, Today i realized how right jblee was he cant fix this site hes got no controll, Him beeing mod might atract more people from runecore sence they have like 3,000 people just intrested in rs stuff overthere. I kno this is a shock i used to flame jb but i realized how right he is.
And like Josetann need to fix simple stuff, like "whos vewing this" and stuff like that, But i understand hes busy..and not to flame.
And on the Mod thing, We need active mods..or someone who would be active if they got mod.
not that ya'll arnt doing a good job, But we need to find someone who will do that job, And like you Pureblood need to be able to IP not just suspend.
So you wouldnt have to goto someone else to Ban someone. *
Its a Tech site, Should have an Insane skin, the White skin isnt that great (no offense) for a Tech site.
but yet again i unserstand jose is busy.
And maybe a few more ill post later

-
yall rpobally wont take me serious but we need more active official mm's mod's and stuff like that =(
-
I think it should say whether or not you've been accused of scamming next to you're name... if it does this would let people be aware if they should be careful and definitely use a good mm when doing a transaction with them.
-
wow, wasnt expecting that from you, kirk.
----------
although the skin isnt great, the skin isnt what makes the site...the skin / features is usually what draws the members in, but "its whats on the inside that counts" lol
I think the only features that need to be added is a bump button (cuts down on spam), and a multiple member logger to keep scammers from making a new account...
other than that, just the staff
-
yea jblee perfect
not a very good haha noob,
and yea Jblee is the most quailified for mod. Who else would even be?
-
Multiple people sometimes accuse people of being scammers, but none of them have proof, if you added that feature then people would just be extra careful with them... you don't always get banned when accused of scamming.

yes, but what if 5 people get together and decide to accuse an innocent guy of scamming? Or one guy makes 5 accounts and does it?
then this guy's rep is ruined and is forever branded as a scammer...
-
People could do that now anyway, and besides, even if that did happen I'm only saying it should say accused of scamming by their name, so people make sure they use a good mm for transactions and make extra sure that they're not going to get scammed.
-
jblee has a point there, i would actually like to see more Offical MM's online, not many are on during the english time zone
-
We do need some new officials I am guessing 75% of them if not more barley even mm anymore if they do it's on for big trades ..They are mostly busy with new sites.
-
so..
lets say bobby hates me and says Kirk hammertt scammed me.
but he has no proof
but id get the little warning? thats not a god idea.
no proof no ban. been here a long time, know how it works.
-
There are also a few things that should be fixed that only admin's can fix:
- Elite's cant change their username...regular members can... I wanted to change my username to "JB Lee" the other day to match my RuneCore name...but I cant...
- Elite's do not have access to the IPB Blog Feature...doesn't really matter, but seems weird to me...
- I realise this was messed up a long time ago, but it is a very simple fix: not being able to see who is viewing a thread / section
-------------
Another thing that might help organize the site is a Transactions section like RuneCore has...where each member can create his/her own thread where they can log their transactions...keeps it out of their sig's and cleans up the forum
-
I'm saying multiple people... around 4+ or so...
-
then say "bobby" makes 4 accounts...same principle...
-
to be honest, i say people should be here for atleast 2months and have atleast a vouch(which is checked by officals) to actually offer free mming services, and also the 2months they have to stay active and not spam/flame every topic,
-

that is proof that no1 reads the rules and that they arent enforced...
THERE IS A RULE RIGHT NOW that you may only offer a free MMing service after being here a month and having a clean track record

That's the next thing I was thinking about... because obviously if it's all within the same 2 days or so with people who are new and have like 10 posts it'd be pretty obvious that it would be a lie...
-
yeah but no-one reads them, i didnt at the time, until i got a 12hour posting ban off pureblood for not reading it, it should be made know to ttg users soon as they are reg. to ttg
-
honestly...peopel just need to read the forum more...
if some1 is accused of scamming, then there was obviously a thread made about it...
whenever some1 does a trade with another member...they should be running a search on their name through the forum search...if they choose to trade with that member after they see the threads accusing them, it is their own fault if they get scammed...

another good point...runecore has a feature that automatically sends a pm to a new member when they register with a list of important links:
what an MM is, who the officials are, what the rules and punishments are...what each group means...
TTG needs something like that
-
say "I" if u think AE m should become a mod and say "O" if u think jblee should become a mod.. and if u say yes to both say "IO" and if u dont think can you say why please?
-
I can tell you right now that the only people who have a shot at getting mod are people that are already elite...
a regular member will not become a mod...
I dont even think an elite will become a mod...I really dont think the staff has any intention on actually trying to help the site...
-
2 Things to say
1. Active mods
2. Skin is fine, and tbh it wont improve the site really.
If there was a new mod, its obvious that JB is most qualified... "
Also to the post above JB's ^, although AE is very trustworthy, the job of a mod is different, and is usually the job of someone who has experience, or has been here long enough to know exactly what to do. The only people i can think of are Reazee and JB.
-
I think jb would be way more qualified to be a mod then me.
-
In true honesty? I think this place needs another mod.. The sheer amount of shit that that bloodogre did was crazy... There needs to be 2 mods added..
If we add cursed, he's not very active, so there will be even less shit done..
If we add AE m.. IDK really I guess I don't like him all that much..
If we add JB Lee, we could probably get some stuff done.. seeing as he has around 800 moderator logs on RuneCore just this month.. meaning Sep. 1 to Today..
I would consider Reazee but he quit the Anti-Scammers and whatnot.. So yea.. but IDK.
All these possibilities.. :|... I think we should have a poll in the members section the the Anti-Scammers to see who gets mod.. the choices can be chosen by the members and voted on then final voted on by the elites..
-
nerd pwnr, nothing against you but your definitly not quailifed for Mod, and i dont think even elite yet.
Jb is the right call.
and Paco..great idea..VOTING.
and jblee..Runecore is set up alot better..i think im gonna sstart beeing active on Runecore or Rs2mm fulltime insteed of this..
-
Wow guys thanks for all the input.
Ok for the putting accused of scamming besides some ones name would just not work. Too many people would accuse people of scamming for no reason.
I have to go now but i will post more when i get back.
-
its also a rule u cant ask to be a mm on some1s thread and im new and i even know that but its not enforced
-
yes you can not ask to mm, Its no invorced so i see it all the time..
-
it just goes to show im new and i even knew that
-
[quote name=\'buyme\' post=\'388590\' date=\'Sep 15 2007, 06:29 PM\']it just goes to show im new and i even knew that[/quote]
delete the dang site full scammer and no one trust each other dont have that it dont go that far
-
Well if you use the report thing, i don't get a pm. So if you see a problem just send me a pm by yourself and then i will do take action. I don't have to time to read every single thread
-
lol i agree delete it all this is illegal anyway its against copyright laws and ur rules r poorly enforced(if at all enforced)and i have allonan on ignore so o well
-
I would be impressed if josetann would actually take his time and post here. If he would make edits to this site, I'm sure it would be way more active, it has a nice foundation, and it is a good community, but too many things are wrong with it and that is why it is going downhill. Like every1 said, jb, kirk, every1 in this thread, the site needs a lot of work, especially in the runescape section... as that is where this site gets a lot of its traffic from.
-
I think the site gets just as much traffic through the tech help sections as it does RuneScape, however...these people can get their help without registering...or, if they do register, they make a thread and then either forget about it, or get their answer and never return...
it might seem to us that the RuneScape section is the dominant section, but that would be because it is the only section that sees returning members
I think the other sections need some attention as well
-
Hence I said a lot and not most
-
um i would like to start with .. i dont like the colors..white? cmon..make it some dark cool looking site..with alients or something awesome..not just a white nooby site..cmon
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />, i went to runecore cause its like this but they have a cool black color
/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' /> if this wasnt so light i would chill here
/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />, but yea..thats what i hate most.
-
I just use the default blue skin... I don't like the regular skin
-
Pureblood, shouldn't you know better than to put this into for sale/wanted? Shouldn't this be in Suggestions?
-
Do you want a better techguide or do you want it to die forever. I posted it here because i can and i will and i did.

Wow, or let's be a jerk about it. Do what you want.[/indent]
-
how about require a mm for all trades on TTG?
-
Sometimes there arent any MM's on....sometime we MM's dont feel like MMing...
although it may seem like a good idea...in reality, it would never work
