About those ratings - to quote Allakhazam in the original Forum FAQ post:

Quote:
One thing I want to emphasize is the Karma system. If people start to use it, it should solve many of the complaints I see about anon posting. If you have received Scholar status of higher, you in effect become a limited forum admin. Please take advantage of this.

As you read through a thread, rate the best posts up and the worst posts down. Then when you get to the end, hit the rate posts button to enter your ratings. It only takes a couple people rating through a thread like that to move the dumb posts below the default viewing threshold and move the better posts up, which will eventually make those making the good posts able to rate as well.

Now just make sure you have your filter settings at "default" and not at "Never Filter". The default filter means that when you are on the main thread page, any thread where the lead is below 1.5 isn't even listed, and within a thread any post below that rating also disappears. If you choose to set your filter to "Never Filter", then I have to assume you want to see those types of posts.

We do moderate the forum as well, but only to get rid of the most outrageous posts. If people want to carry on a below the threshold flame war, then we won't interfere until it becomes indecent.

How about a "What's changed in EQ since you left." feature.

The user could put in the approximate date they left EQ, and it would spit out what's changed. I swear we see 85000 threads a day asking "What's changed in EQ", "How's the server population?", "Is it worth coming back?"

I figure you could just randomly spit out server populations and a magic-8-ball style randomizer for the "Is it worth coming back" question.

Just a thought to save the servers. I'm only thinking of the servers here.


And then I immediately hit them with this:

Everything you ever needed to know about coming back

If too many (like... two...) are posted within a short time frame, one or more tend to get nuked.

If you like playing EQ, may I suggest that the "coming back to EQ" threads, while annoying, are exactly what you want to see. Because it is an indication of the games longevity being extended.

Could be solved by a sticky thread at the top of the forum which bullet points the main changes for each expansion.

Well volunteered Frakkor. Chop chop.

I was looking for Bbot's old augment post, realized vwdiesel had done a bunch of work on this too... and then stumbled into the wiki.

Old alla users (the returning types) may not think to use the wiki.

So while Hotzone Wiki Page might make a good addition to the "Useful Threads" area, perhaps a link for the wikibase under site links would be good too?
