Neowin: What 1 change would you make?

[low]

I would create a way for the users to moderate the moderators, so the ones who constantly closed popular threads or gave warnings for no good reason could themselves get warned and eventually demoted to a normal user.

LMFAO

Allow users to choose whether or not to thumbnail images, particularly in the Monthly Desktops threads.

[Crimson Behelit]

If I received a warning for that they might as well delete my account because I know I won't be coming back.

/agree

On a related note, I have never once clicked an ad on this site. And I never will.

[serious]

I'd change so that all threads were marked as Read by default instead of having to click Options > Mark board as read and return.

[x-scratch]

remove warnings remove post counts remove unwanted threads :)

[Shadrack]

remove warnings remove post counts remove unwanted threads :)

Post counts are pretty stupid. Thats would be a good thing to remove.

Another thing I thought about is how people resurrect old threads accidentally. I've done it before, searching for something I find a post from 2004 and add to it without realizing how old it was. Maybe threads that are so old should just automatically lock.

[SolidSapphire]

Well, if they make neowin any wider our browsers are going to be fullscreen. Slim it down a little bit!

[BlueFlame]

+1

This would be a good idea.

One thing I dislike is when threads are cleaned. I think you should just leave threads as they are... that's just me though heh :p

[Pretend]

Delete Post Counts!,

I bet that Rappy would start counting himself and add it to a signature!

[Luis.A]

Ban any and all trolls.

Get rid all the X vrs. Y threads.

Install a Karma system for users.

Also kill any and all ANNOYING FANBOYS.

[ctebah]

what mods should do is take the top 10 most common answers from this thread, put them in a poll and let the community decide. after all it's the community that makes up neowin.

Yeah like I said its the best idea I see alot of ideas being re-mentioned.

Why not have post counts? its not like you get 100 and you get access to a secret lair of goodies...they are just numbers and as the old saying says "you are not your post count"

[Matt]

Leave the post count in but I am getting tired of constantly having to login to the forum every other week, regardless of what broswer i use or what computer im viewing the forums from, I still have to login every other week it seems.

[Umbrello]

staff needs to let loose and lighten up a bit

[Wannes]

I'm going to have to ban you for being a duplicate account of Neobond.... :p

Damn, I hate actions when truths are found out. :p

I NEVER log in. Only if I clear my cookies.

I'm seeing a lot of "moderate the moderators". Who would do this? A special team of incorruptible moderators? What would we call them? Internal Affairs? The Mod Mods?

Who would watch them? :shifty:

I would only make 1 change.

Warn / ban for band grammar and spelling. I don't mind a bit of swearing ( and I think the rules on that should be relaxed a bit. We all do it) but some people consistently can't put a sentence together. I'm not talking about being a grammar/spelling Nazi but daily there are posts and comments on news stories that are a complete mess.

You would be the first one to go by that.

[monkey13]

Damn it! I submitted then spotted my mistake but you got in before I could edit.

I meant things more like this.

[windows7]

Less strict. i mean come on, do you guys really have a problem or just are like that. Displanary actions would be based on the situation only and not a global one.

I'll also remove some forums. imo theres to many or some can easy be merged in to one....

[monkey13]

How dare you. Less forums. Haven't you seen the big news banner on the front page advertising the new sub forum.

We should have more sub forums that's progress. :whistle:

They are called Supervisors.

The Admins.

I think Neowin is great as it is, would just like them to get their act together and create some new subscriber packages - Choice! :p Not re-subscribing until they do.
