I thought of various suggestions to make Neowin even better:

1- The first idea is to make an innovative forum named by ?Trash? to place all the closed topics in it.

3- The third idea is to add a new button to the contact details for Gmail identities.

4- The fourth idea is to add a gender identifier (Male or Female).

5- The fifth idea is to develop the games news section by making game reviews & ratings.

6- The sixth idea is to let the members change their username after achieving 1000 posts.

7- The seventh idea is to make software awards (like the 2004 Game Awards).

I wish that these ideas are taken into deliberation only if they?re possible. I would appreciate any member who would like to add to these ideas.

Best Regards,

Hani

2- how will the mods know which post is breaking the rules?

6- to much work for mods if you really want to change it you can ask a mod anytime

I thought of various suggestions to make Neowin even better:

1- The first idea is to make an innovative forum named by ?Trash? to place all the closed topics in it.

2- The second idea is remove the ?Report? button from each post window. Instead make a new button called ?Report to a Mod? beside the ?Add Reply? button.

3- The third idea is to add a new button to the contact details for Gmail identities.

4- The fourth idea is to add a gender identifier (Male or Female).

5- The fifth idea is to develop the games news section by making game reviews & ratings.

1- Fine by me (but leave the redirect in the old forum, so people will know where it went)

2- That's dumb.

3- OK.

4- OK.

5- Whatever. I don't care. No reason not to, though.

6- That's :huh:

7- :huh:

1. It'd be impossible to see which forum the thread was originally from. Why do you need easier access to closed topics anyway?

2. Reasons against this already mentioned...

3. This button already exists, it's the E-Mail button... MSN and Yahoo buttons exist because those are instant messengers... GMail is not. (unless you count Picasa Hello, but i don't think that uses gmail addresses)

4. Yeah, that one is good...

5. Neutral

6. The current "PM a Mod" system is in place so mods can keep track of these name changes (as far as I know) -- this is too much coding work to do something unecessary.

7. Neutral...

the GMAIL thing is dumb. It's an e-mail address therefore would be filed under 'e-Mail'. Ironically enough!

Agreed. There is nothing special about a Gmail account, and its not like you'd be showing off that you have one.

My 0,02$:

1: I think the Mods got a reason when they close a topic...and mostly its because the topic is senseless...so why should we keep them?

2: "Report"-Button? :blush:

3: No...as said before...there is a "Mail"-Button

4: (Y)

5: Not bad either....but whos gonna write them?

6: Why should a Member want to change his Username when he's got 1000 Posts. There is already a chnace to change the username...

7: Ok...good idea...

Thumbs up for commiting these Ideas! :yes:

1. We have one, it's private to the staff for good reason.

2, 3, 4. No - features are already there to do this if you so wish (i.e. email field, your profile)

5. Perhaps, I'll look into it

6. No, fairly obvious reasons...

7. Yeah, something we've done before but never really carried through much; again, i'll look into it..

Was gonna say that first part myself but thanks for clarifying it. I think those ideas are what he wants and not that the community as a whole needs to benefit properly. We need to think more along the lines of something everybody will like and enjoy having as part of Neowin.

Also what Chode said. The forum is busy as it is as well so giving Moderators more to do is a big NO. Believe me, the Moderators can't always be here and they have enough going on here without having to have more things to manage put onto their hands.

1. What is the need for a "Trash" Forum? So you can look at closed threads?

3. Not everyone has Gmail, plus if you do you have probably put thats as your email address in your Profile for all members to see

4. OK idea, most neowinians are male's though FYI

5. if you want to write a review about games please submit it to the news desk, I doubt you review will be overlooked, we dont need a whole new forum for it

6. Very Bad idea, name changes would be going on ALL the time and it would be really hard to keep track of who is who, not only for us but for the staff also

7. Nice idea, we could probably do that.

1. Not going to happen, you should see some of the things that we move off the boards sometimes. We move them off public view for a reason, and they will stay off public view.

3. Use the E-Mail button

4. Possible, not really needed

5.Can already do that in the same section

6. No

7. Already Done... yearly thing

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
