But, I kinda see POTCO as not a very poopular game due to the very little fourm posts on this site. Most people quit cause all the fourms get 'boring' or closed down by mods. If there was something like VMs, more people would be on this site, moe posts, more popularity, more people on POTCO, and more money because some people may actually want to donate. And I see where you were going with extra work for Mods, simple solution to this: Report button. I'm on this other Fourm site, and they actually have a report button on everything, like fourms, VMs, PMs, and if you reported and the report was true they would give you something like gold to buy little 'pets' on their name or username change. I also saw that if Vms were in use, there wouldnt be much fourm posts. *coughs* No offense, but I maybe see 200 posts each day... Not even close to the other fourm i'm on. I'm sorry if this offends you in some matter, but i'm speaking my mind here.
Here i'm going to say what you said Batleth then explain why these really dont matter
When that feature was added to vB, we decided at that point to not add that to our forums. We feel for various reasons, it would be best to leave off;
*Something like that would have to be moderated, causing extra work for the mods.
*I've seen them on many forum sites and most are just spam messages.
*Profile customizations will be dropped in the next version of vB, so not much reason to contact them about that soon.
*Too easy for users to use these as a place to flame or troll each other, hence why they'd have to be moderated.
*Instead of being able to view users info right away, visitor messages would be the first tab making it another step for many.
*We want to encourage discussions. This would just distract from people making actual posts or PMs.
1st reason explanation- I said it above, but if I must say it again, I will. Add a report button to them, if it is spam, or something offensive to the user, or against the rules, a trustworthy user would report it. And if they do, give them like a reward.
2nd- Said it above, if it is spam, other users can report it.
3rd- I'm sorry, I dont know what your saying.
4th-Report button yet again...
5th-Excuse me, may you explain that again. I think I know what your saying but I need more details.
6th-I see mostly 200 posts MAX a day, if anything VMs could tell other users to get on a fourm. They could tell eeach other simply get on such and such topic, and the other may say ok, and check it out. If it was something like JOJN! JOIN! JOIN such and such, then report. Besides, half the time I cant even tell if I got a PM, I dont look in my user thing in the right hand corner. I know what your saying about, We want more people to post and PM, this may even help it. Just think for a moment please.
Sorry if any of this offends you, but i wanted to speak my mind.
Thanks
