Alright, so, there's a few changes I want to go over that I'm implementing onto the site.
First one? Word Counts. This is a very simple update to the site but I feel like it might be able to help some people. You can change this to where it's counting the characters of your post, but the default is the words in your post. I have this in here because it might help those with a lower sentence count be able to judge the length of their post better than they can normally. I hope that it's appreciated but that's up to you guys.
Next? Creators of posts are now able to lock their own threads. This is an option that can keep you from running to staff whenever you need your thread moved. You are able to lock your own thread and from there, we will clean up all the locked threads and move them into the Archives. This will, hopefully, make it easier to clean up the forum and make the categories list a bit cleaner when looking for active threads.
Then I also added the ability to hide the shoutbox in case someone finds it distracting or they simply don't want to talk at the moment. Makes it easier to not pay attention to. This is completely based around personal preferences though.
Now, here's the largest change that I actually hope to get input in about.
As of right now, I have a karma system installed onto our site. This karma system allows for you to praise or scold members for their roleplaying or actions on the site. This, with all luck, can gain members reputation and help people find the more helpful members of the site. However...I'm stuck on trying to figure out if it should be roleplay based or action based. Anyone can praise or scold another on the site using this system. I just want to know what you all think about it. If it should be based around how helpful and kind their characters are or how they are on the site overall. Or, hell, if I should just remove it all together. It's your guys choice here, this is your site as much as it's mine. I hope for feedback here.
