MyGaming suggestion box

It does make a difference, take the ph forums before carbonite was established - it was chaos to sort thru all the classified posts to get to the relevant posts. Where now on carbonite its so much easier to post something for sale and sell it with little hassle? It does affect the people who doesnt want to see 100000000 posts selling stuff and it makes life for the moderators hell to keep control. Just imagine the spam we would see in those classifieds for people who are trying to get their post counts up to enter the comps? The poor guys who will be moderating the classified will be dealing with a lot of 1 liners, non relevant posts such as "oh this game is ossim".

At the moment you have the one thread where things are sold/swopped/ traded and no drama. Trust me as a long time user of PH (I came to mygamimg when the classifieds took over ph and the articles and such got lost in all the madness) I found mygaming a great place for information which is up to date and in general a great atmosphere.
 
Well, the existence of the classifieds forum won't make any difference to the other forums, and a good way to keep spam to a minimum in there would be to implement a feature where posts in the classifieds forum doesn't increase post count. I really still don't see the big issue.

Or do like Mybb but make mybb.bot or it would be called mygaming.bot the only account which can post in the forum.

Then make a classified form where people can fill it in and then the mygaming.bot will post it in the classifieds section.

This at least removes all spam and classified entries can be checked before the bot posts it.
 
A limit to the size of the member sigs should be implement cause its really starting to get out of hand !

Yeah. That guy with the 'Fucking Awesome' sig is way oversized. I just didn't want to say anything, because he flipped his lid last time I said something about his epileptic fit inducing signature. I've actually switched signatures off now, seeing as it's annoying having to scroll to read every second post. I really like signatures, but some people really don't understand that they're being inconsiderate with the sigs, then get angry when you point it out.

Tinman did make a post under rules and regs originally about the maximum size & number of sigs that we are allowed to peruse on our posts.

I'll try dig it up, but it's the reason I went for my current sig instead of separate xbox and ps3 ones.

James, what are the rules regarding advertising? Seeing as we have representatives of other shops etc. on the site (I'm referring to the wonderful assistance from MooDy of Zaps etc. who are a wonderful asset to the myG community)

Also, does stating my twitter account at the bottom of my sig count as advertising my 'blog'?

Rules: Avatars and signatures

1. Avatars may not consist of any pornographic or inappropriate material.
2. Signatures may not be multi-leveled.
3. Signatures may consist of a maximum of one image no larger than 500 width and 90 height.

There is no way for us to enforce this through forum software. It would be helpful if the community members can politely point out to those who are in violation of the rule and that they need to change it.

I agree that these oversized signatures are starting to look bad.

I'll send out a reminder to everyone.
 
That yellow pages ad is really annoying. Every time I move my mouse cursor over it it keeps dropping down and blocking what is behind it. Please fix that
