 | | Fwd: Request to streamline membership process
|
|
Hello, I recieved this email and I am posting it as I have been asked: Eric, Thanks for saying what you did here: (URL) One would think that Lugnet is about whining and bitching instead of about LEGO! Since you're a member, could you please ask (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

| | How to Spotlight (was: I resign from the LPRV committe)e
|
|
(...) How's about this: Instead of a 10 item list of spotlighted threads, why not two 5 (or however many) item lists? One of spotlighted MOCs, and the other spotlighted non-MOC topics. Shouldn't be too hard to code, and seems to solve the problem (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Email also prevents miscommunication. It provides tangible proof that you've attempted to contact the admins without it appearing that there is a problem. As far as I can see, there is no problem, hence the need for a less inflamatory post (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Email goes unseen and hides inaction. I also should be able to ask hard questions without an agenda or some sort of desire to start trouble. I resent your insinuation that I am trying to start a flame war that is ridiculous. I'll simply wait (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Eric, I would ask that you sit tight and actually email the admins about this rather than provoke some sort of flame war. (...) I'm not going to touch this. I promised other people I wouldn't. Watch what you ask for Eric. It might hurt things (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Hmm, some good thoughts. Can we move this discussion to lugnet.admin.suggestions, and could someone start a new thread there, capturing the discussion so far? Frank FUT: lugnet.admin.suggestions (21 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

| | More Poll Options
|

I'd like to be able to create polls with sum and average options, to allow for the summation of counts and average of prices. Also, I'd like to be able to combine different poll types into the same poll. Dustin (21 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Suggestion: In addition to "Spotlight", provide an "Agree" rank (other potential candidates include "Cool", "Informative", "Funny") for members to rate posts on. I think I've mentioned this before, but I don't see it on the suggestion list, and I (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions) !

(...) Very good points here. Lugnet has much greater functionality built in than is routinely used. In part this is due to user inaction, but in part this is also due (IMO) to the invisibilty of the functionality. For instance, there is no easy way (...)

| | More variable spotlight weights
|
|
Suggestion: Similar to Lugnet's original post ranking, allow a 0-100 scale for posts. Default is assumed to be 0, rather than 50. I find that one of the reasons I don't often spotlight or highlight is that I find it difficult to say "this is a good (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions) !
