Small avatars would be fine, but NO picture sigs! It really clutters everything and makes it impossible to read the posts one after the other with the distracting CS and other crap picture sigs. And you could just make it a rule that if you want to know where that person got his avatar or whatever ;) ,do it in the General Nonsense section or just don't do it at all. :p

EDIT: Oh, and I agree with the 2 month member deletion idea.

How about a button you can click that will give a shock to another member who posts something that aggravates you? :D :D :D

On my site the size of avatars is limited to 200 by 200 pixels and 30kb. It works well and is not too annoying, but it's a small site and it's easy to moderate objectionable or annoying content. I'm not sure how well avatars would work here, they have the possibility of becoming very annoying.

i think avatars are a bad idea .. they add very little to the viewing experience and tend to create some problems .. especially for low bandwith users .. 20 users * 30kb per avatar = 600 kb download .. same with picture sigs .. for picture sigs bad links are also an issue

They would look good, but there no real advantage to having them. They don't do anything, but take up bandwidth like W1zz said. What about user title names? Like you get a new one after so many posts or something? Doesn't really matter to me, but some user might like it.

Its different, but they are post counted. I'm not sure, but I believe its 5/25/50/100/250/500/1000 and so on. Why not make that 8/16/64/128/256/512/1024 lol, just an idea. But post counted isn't preferable eitherway. I mean... Someone could spam his ass off and to a newbie (on this board) still look like someone with a lot of status. Custom user titles aren't everything because people would just crap it, but a certain ranking would look better than stars in my opinion, but something that really compares to true value takes too much of the mods time, I know cuz EOCF had it and it was ditched 2 weeks after it was introduced because the mods got tired of rating good or bad posts.

BTW, what's the difference between "Staff" and "Moderator" :confused:

Edit: I've got one thing though, when you click an attached image it opens in the same window... It's when it is opened in a new window, in my opinion :)

Just be careful with adding TOO much smilies Wizz. I've seen some sites where they basically reply in smilies lol. It's like:

:) :mad: :p :( :D ;) :eek: :confused: :rolleyes: :eek: :cool:

Personally there's enough smilies to express most emotions? Don't know about the other people though? :p

I really miss the :lol from EOCF, that means "hilarious", its this one:


They have a few more too, which I'ma hunt after now. In this case, more = better :p

BTW, you can set a maximum number of smilies in a post and that's actually just a setting, very easy. So that's not so hard to prevent.

As long as it doesn't go overboard then I'm fine with it! :p
