This is a suggestion thread complied by me and a couple of other users. Moderation please don't move this because Suggestion Genius and General Discussion is DEAD AF and I want opinions.
cc: @Michael (but in general post these in @genius-ideas so the people who actually do shit make changes)
A better interface (enough with the scrolling down we need pages and no more sidebar crap make this a real forums where the homepage has all of the discussions visible)
Seriously though I can't even explain how many times mods and meds have asked for this. We have a problem and tech doesn't give a shit.
Stricter troll policy
In progress.
QUICK Methods of Punishment (5 minute mutes, hour long bans), longer ones should be used if the user continues to be a nuisance. (should progress from 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 1 day, etc.) Week Long ban should be the longest temporary ban, as well as a perma-ban If the user continues to act up.
What does a 5 minute ban do? What would we use it for? If people continue to act up after month or week bans, why would we do 5 minute bans? We always warn people before banning them for the first time, and then only ban for 24 hours… how would this change the fact that some trolls are going to troll? What you are suggesting as a perma would be most users who get month or week bans.
LESS SENSTIVE MODS (sorry but yall will box for anything)
Less sensitive to what exactly? We are trying to be stricter on trolls like you said, but how can we be if we don't apply these policies? We have to apply them swiftly and equally, and @Michael just made a GD thread on what language is appropriate. We are just acting on the standards that are in place and decided universally among mods.
Divide the rap forum, don't have one broad forum where you could everything. (Make a forum for general rap discussion, as well as another one where people can showcase new music as well as promote their own music)
People get mad when we move things that are rap discussion from RG. How would a new forum help? People already complain about forums like GD not getting enough traffic, and wouldn't follow this guideline anyway.
Here are just a few suggestions
- General Rap Discussion (for actual discussions)
- General MUSIC Discussion
- Announcement Forum (where pinned threads would normally go)
- New Music (Discuss newer releases/upcoming releases)
- A Forum where people could PROMOTE their own music (should be a couple restrictions so that brand new users do not have automatic access)
- OTHER SECTION (for people who want cover art, random stuff like that)
- Probably a couple other sections where people can post reviews and shit like that
- @rap-genius
- @music
- @genius-updates
- People would hate us if this were not RG
- @general-discussion
- what should be GD but ends up being RG because people get mad if we move threads
No more animated avis
Get rid of IQ next to our names, keep that strictly on profiles.
Varying AVI sizes (enough of these small ass squares)
Limit threads per hour
Why? legitimately curious
Edit button (OH MY FUCKING GOD PLEASE) / (POSSIBLE) delete button (for threads and posts, like fr this shit is annoying)
Asked for this a while ago and never got it :(
Don't refresh videos and songs everytime someone posts (SHITS ANNOYING AS HELL)
STOP THE VS THREADS, CHAT THREADS (new ones), AND ASKING FOR LINK THREADS
in progress cc: @Michael
Give mods the ability to lock and unlock threads
I made a thread about this a few days ago in Genius Ideas. I hope it gets done in the next 300 years.
Better color scheme, or at least a personal option to choose color scheme
We asked for this when they made the white pages on lyrics. They told us it was "too hard." :|
Make RG a more friendly environment, it's literally apartheid.
Working on it without being called a member of the third reich. People get mad when they get boxed but get angry when it doesn't happen to others. It's really pretty funny.
?MORE and BETTER (more active) Mediators. And don't be so strict with jokes and stuff like that, like not everyone will be offended if someone makes a dark joke or two.
Working on it cc: @ALLCAPSification @slaytoven
RG shouldn't have all of these specific YET BROAD sub-forums. Most of the time only the mods actually use them. Our sole focus is rap, keep it like that. Have a music discussion for people hoping to share a couple things out of the hip-hop/rnb atmosphere.
Some of them are really useful for specific discussions. We try to have public forums that people want to actually use, but if you have better ideas post them in @genius-ideas
All the shit I listed above is some shit that could probably help the community improve in a way, kind of like KTT, because RG is seriously behind our forums in terms of quality.
I agree we are behind. We are striving to be better. Be patient and good things will come. @genius-moderation
