RED CROWN TOURNAMENT DAY FOUR: The Contest of Councilors

[AniX]

As I said in my Admin announcement, revitalizing a community is a community effort. So now, for our next day’s competition, I turn to the community to help steer the community. And if you steer it well, you’ll be richly rewarded.

Here are the rules:
1. In the comments below, make suggestions on how I can improve the site. It can be small things, it can be big things (although see below!), it can be any size thing. If it would benefit the community and I have the power to do it, we’ll be in business.
2. A user may make one suggestion every half day (reminding you a day is 11:11pm EST to 11:11pm EST, so you can make one suggestion between 11:11pm and 11:11am then between 11:11am to 11:11pm) for the remainder of the contest.
3. Users, if you like an idea, quote it with a +1 or a thumbs up or some other sign you think it is something I should take a look at.
4. For every Quote of Approval your suggestion gets, I’ll award you 2 points.
5. If I actually end up implementing the idea, you’ll be award 11 points! If I’d like to implement the idea but am currently restricted by time or ability, I’ll still award you 5 points. So it is better to suggest ideas I can implement now but if you can only think of long-term suggestions, it still benefits you to shout them out.
6. All suggestions must be in good faith! All Quotes of Approval must be in good faith! Don’t suggest things you don’t want just to earn points. Don’t quote things you don’t want just to help your friends. Don’t make joke suggestions.

I would like the wiki tag available in the full post editor as it was before the site upgrade.

The wiki tag would allow for simpler links to MafiaWiki without needing to use the url tag.

this is an example of the wiki tag, which looks like this: Main Page

Code: Select all

[wiki]Main Page[/wiki]

If I don't miss my mark, you should be back in business on that front. And with an 11 point bonus for your troubles.

Could pinned threads be shaded different, or have the icon be a different color? Anything that makes it clearer that those threads are pinned/special instantly (and also makes it clear where the new/recently posted in threads begin). Basically what if instead when I went to the LSG forum I saw something like this:

Spoiler:

Like in my mind there's a huge difference in quality of life between having to search through the icons for 10-15 seconds when there's a number of them, and having that time of recognition be 0 seconds.

You can have 5 points, I don't think I can do anything about this at the moment.

10 points for both of you, 4 extra for Vash because I consider Cook a +1.

The "fun" of giving me new ideas I can claim credit for implementing doesn't need to stop just because the Red Crown Tournament is over! The Suggestion Box is now an ongoing fixture of the site!
