I was about to post my feedback but found the thread had already been closed. So i am opening this thread to log my feeback as requested by the Webby.
Forum page:
1. Please increase the row length for ‘Latest Posts’ to accommodate the longer titles. It’s hard to read when titles are truncated at the end for lack of enough space.
2. Please list all the Administrators, Super Moderators, Moderators and Staff for the benefit of the members.
3. Occasionally members say things about our heroes or get into an argument with them as a result of not knowing who they are. So create a restricted introduction area only dedicated for members like Sir Muradk and other heroes for the benefit of members, so members can get to know them and give them due respect.
4. Not sure the difference between ‘Members Introduction’ and ‘Members Club’. They seem to look the same. As a matter of fact, the ‘Members Club’ has lately become a ‘Gossip Club’. There has to be a better definition and use for ‘Members Club’ or I would ask to rename it as a ‘Gossip Club’. I consider Defense.pk a serious forum and an unending childish discussion on items such as ‘Sania and shoaib’ should be limited.
5. The items ‘General Defense’ and ‘Weapons Club’ seems to be the same and does require a revisit.
6. The item ‘Office’s Mess’ per its definition should only allow items written by the professional indviduals themselves and not cut and paste.
7. Rename U.S. Foreign Affairs’ as ‘U.S. Defense’ like ‘India Defense’ or ‘China Defense’. Or it could be renamed as ‘U.S. Defense and Foreign Affairs’.
Moderators:
1. Select Moderators from different time zones so that there is always a moderator present in the forum. They can be divided into 3 areas such as North America, Europe, and Asia.
2. Ideally you would need at least one Super Moderator and one Moderator (preferably 2) for any given time to moderate forum effectively.
3. The Staff or Elite group may be assigned with limited privileges to move, merge, and delete only duplicate threads. They can be assigned group of threads to monitor instead of all forum.
4. Always give a reason when a thread is moved, merged or deleted. When a thread is moved or merged, make sure to give the link. Many times I have found that thread has been moved or merged without any link and then an act of God is required to find out as to what happened to that thread.
5. I like the new rules for ‘Warning’, ‘Time out’, and ‘Banning’. The ‘Warning’ and ‘Time out’ can be handed out by any Moderator but banning a member must be considered by a committee consisting of 3 members (one Super Moderator and two Moderators). Also it would be nice to inform the member being banned for his/her misdeed.
6. There has to be better guidelines and rules for Moderators. They should be held to a higher standard as compared to general members. They should avoid getting into a shouting match with a member or using profanity. Politeness is contagious.
7. I know it’s a volunteer job but then again they have accepted the job with the understanding as to what is expected from them. If they make a commitment, then they should fulfill it to best of their abilities.
8. I personally feel that the moderators should not get involved in discussion. They have their likes and dislikes and hence defeats the concept of being fair and impartial. Few times I noticed that members got banned because the Moderator did not like him/her.
Design changes
1. Move the Latest Posts’ section at the top as compared to at the bottom. It will make it lot easier for the members to monitor ‘Latest Posts’ without scrolling down every time you come back to Forum page.
2. Please state the file size acceptable by the application when pictures are to be uploaded.
3. Make a hidden section only accessed by the Moderators where members can log their complaints, issues, trolling, duplicate threads and whatever they want to say. This will make it easier both for the members to access the Moderators instead of going to their individual pages and the Moderators to monitor all those from one place.
That’s it for today!
Regards
