Abbey's Suggestions

I got alot of ideas on how to make the site better from Amelia and Khatt's suggestions, so some of mine might sound a little like their's. If they do, I'm sorry!

1.) I think that everyone should try to start not making grammatical and spelling errors in their posts. I know a majority of the people who come on here come from the US, but those who don't I think, are the only ones who have an excuse when it comes to this. I know some people will also be annoyed if we start to address this issue, but it really bugs me, and it know it bugs Amelia too from reading her suggestions.

2.) I think we should also get stricter on how many characters people can have. I know that when I had two other characters besides this account, I got really overwhelmed and never got the time to go on my other accounts, so I deleted them. I believe the site is starting to become overcrowded with characters that nobody uses, so I think that people need to have some accounts that they focus on, and if there are accounts they don't use, they should delete them.

3.) I also noticed that people are having topics that seem to have no point in them, and that have no good roleplaying in them. There are alot of topics that are going no where, so I think it would be a good idea to start becoming stricter on topics.

4.) I really liked Khatt's suggestion on having awards for good roleplaying and a certain number of posts. If we reward the people who are putting alot of effort into the site and who seem to genuinely care about it, then I think that will start to make the other roleplayers who come on who aren't doing as well to do better on their roleplaying in general.

That's all I have to say! Please tell me if any of this was at all helpful!

I think you have a lot of good suggestions, but I think there are a lot of "wandering threads" to give folks something to do so they don't get bored. Or, sometimes it is to develop relationships between characters so those alliances or enemy relationships can become more important in bigger plots later. I'm not so bothered by them so long as the people involved in them are enjoying themselves and doing their best to follow site rules, basically.

Hmmm, I never thought about that before Khatt. Thanks! I think that threads for those people are okay, but have you noticed any of the threads going on that are kind of dead around here?

OMG!!! They're rampant!! And they multiply like rabbits!! LOL

I agree w/ you there.

Nice suggestions Abbey

Well I dont think we need to restrict topics really. Some topics go well, and some well.. dont. But we shouldn't restrict those. I definately agree with suggestions 1 and 2 though. I think that the max for characters should be 3, because any more than that can get a bit overwhelming. And forumotion really needs to get spell check :/

As for the awards idea, its an awesome suggestion. I've been checking around other sites and I think it'll work well.

I don't think anything regarding post count would be a good idea. We've had it before and it just made lots and lots of people spam.

Spellcheck, well apart from Internet Explorers most browsers have a built-in spell check. I know Firefox and Chrome do, and they're the 2nd and 3rd most popular browsers for PA users. I think Safari and Opera do too, though I'm not 100% on those two. It's just IE that fails. As usual.

Ok, I think I posted this in another topic here, but I'm going to post it here again. I think for characters you should be able to have two, then for every further character you need to PM a certain admin (have one that deals with it all, as multiple admins doing it would be confusing) to get permission from them before making the app. Just a quick PM saying 'I want to create a 5th year huffie/gryffie girl, can I?' would be fine.

But, Darren, it took me forever to decide to add Andrew. I dont' want to get rid of him this soon. Can we say 4? Compromise? Just a little? Or come up with better guidelines on how to use these multiple characters instead? I mean, i think the characters need to be active and doing something, fairly regularly. Those are some of the first things I think of, off the top of my head.

Or--I like Jemma's thinking--perhaps 3, with more by admin permission. (I know she said 2, but I'm trying to "bargain" a bit here) lol

We can't have four! I'll have to delete two xD I think it should be how many a player can handle.

^That's why I said you can PM an admin for more, because some people CAN handle more. It's just, some can't. Lol.

Ok, Jemma and Eli. That works for me too. I don't want Eli to delete anybody either. LOL

Can we just consider this decided? In other words "SOLD!" ROFL
