I think a lot of people want this:
- Get the friend finder to work.
- Get the vBulletin update.
- Do Forum Awards 2009.

Just filled it in. I think bringing reputation back will help plenty here. Oh, and getting rid of the ads and making the brass a little more transparent @ times. Just my two cents.

The Casual Brawl Forum is a good idea.
I think it would be used pretty often. I know I would.

Rep system would be amazing.
Forgot about that idea completely.
Also. Using a vB Portal to help bring news of tourneys and events to players and making smashboards homepage that portal would be amazing.

IIRC, we had rep here awhile ago (I have a different account name that I used to use, registered Dec. 2004 I think), and it had to be removed because it was abused and just a popularity contest that no one needed to see. It wasn't used as we might want it to be: "wow, this is an excellent post by *educatedsmashersnamehere*, +1."

I took this survey solely to get rid of virgilijus and his tyrant like Mod-ing. =)

I honestly think Casual brawl would be a really good idea for a forum. Also, what are the forum awards?

For the last one, Put Brawl into the MLG Circuit. Duh.

Twenty times this. And, as for this:
Yes, there was a rep system here. The reason why it got removed is because people complained about getting negative rep all the time, so the authorities removed it. Source.
I really feel that members on here should have a bearing on where they stand with others. Transparency is a wonderful thing. I shouldn't have to ask a Senator, Super Mod, or Admin to shop my name around to see what others think on the quality of my posts. If rep were available, I would be getting this information from the people I communicate with on here, the best people to get it from.
*Steps off soapbox*
Some new themes would be great! (Some that are little less...uh...dark....I dont really like the black backgrounds...)

Look back a bit in the Announcement Discussion for the '07 Forum Awards. They were pretty cool.
god my rep woudl be awful if we ahd it
Forum awards would be cool.

Yeah, I'd hype for some new skins. Think about it.... burnt orange. >.>

Rep actually makes people think before they post. What's not to like?
Forum awards can't be done anymore due to server space or something along those lines.
The authorities have a few more skins that will be released soon iirc.

Forum Awards can be done if MLG is willing to assist.

Repped you -1 for disagreeing with me.

MLG assisting in this site happens as often as the Lions winning.
Funny how the ones who don't want the rep system are the ones who would have the neg rep.

I did the survey.
Eh... pretty banal i must say
An award system would be cool...
but you know what would be even cooler?
A place to track all the matches (official) you did with other members (Track all rules, stage, characters played, and items if any)
There could be a place that says 'insert replay'. But you wouldnt have to.
Also there would be a description box saying what happened
There would just be a part with a bold outline of the match, like what i said in parentheses
It would be like youtube on smashboards :/

Just look at the topic. It appears as if they are actually going to make the site better now.

First off, this is absolutely not anything against UTD Zac (NM social Mod), or any other moderator, just the policy in general.
I personally believe that the moderation needs to be lessened quite a bit. Within the New Mexico thread for example, we all know and spend time with each other pretty often IRL. If we say something terrible within the boards, we will have real reprecussions. There isn't postcount, so spam is only good to annoy the other users. Because it is a community of people that know each other, we act as self moderating. I can understand if someone from another state/region comes in and starts causing problems (which can be reported), then a moderator might be important, but barring that, they should be left alone. It doesn't really make people happy when we get in trouble for things that didn't have any relevant impact on anyone when it just brakes minor site policy or the mod doesn't like it.
Basically, I believe that regional/social needs to e left well enough alone, because they are by and large self moderated.

Um. IIRC, on SRK, you needed a premium member ship, x amount of posts and/or needed to be a member of the site for y amount of time.
It's a combination of those 3 with the premie being a MUST.

It appears. You must also take into account that they've directly said that they're going to fix things before and then never done anything.

Yeah, but...
I will give them a fair chance to see what they improve on. Bobson's take is really what happens most of the time IMHO. MLG, make me proud. No pressure.
I'd beg to differ. I can't even bear to be in my RZ social (Gents Club) these days because people spam like mad. It's there to help people socialize, but not to spam like mad. As for being self moderated...I thought we were against people trying to mini-mod?

Not mini modding. If you are a prick to someone you know online, there will be real life concequences, at least in every community I've ever been in.I'd beg to differ.

does your social have postcount? because f not, I'm honestly clueless as to why you would spam in there.

Yeah, I just did. They would be cool to have again, IMO.

You can't give MLG a chance, they do whatever the hell they want.
I'm just happy that anything is happening at all.
lol even with rep i dont think i'd think before i post

No postcount for our social room. No, I don't spam there. Also, your statement about being a pr*ck to someone: I would beg to differ. Some people I know in the South have some pretty split personalities.
Duly noted.

People have short attention spans, so that may have been a tad bit unreasonable though.
I feel you though: Wouldn't mind it much either...

Atl South/Gents Club is ridiculous. They post questionable (sometimes more than) content all the time. When I got to the questions about how the moderation of my most frequented forum is (Gents Club), I laughed. Is it good enough? Not really, but I rated it well because we make do. xD It's really hard for us to mod there because there is so much.
That being said, I don't enjoy it when a mod from outside our region comes in and does stuff when it isn't something major and makes a big deal out of it (well, not necessarily the mod, but the normal viewers).
Also, forum awards were amazing. It's a pity MLG won't cooperate with us at the moment for them to happen. I think we just needed to access part of the server or something.

Probably those are the mods sections like that need. Once the mod is friends of people in there = bad. Like someone mentioned before, irl buddies don't get the same treatment. Having an unknown mod cleaning (the right) stuff from the room is better than having a mod that's playing buddy-buddy with the majority.
