Cleaning up the forums + some changes.
« on: July 21, 2014, 07:59:05 pm »
Hey there, we've got a small update -

Continuing with our updates to our Ambrosia web, such as improving mobie compatibility, quality of the posts and so on we'll be doing couple more updates. Continuing with our succesfuly launched FMRS quality control (http://www.ambrosia-servers.eu/community/index.php?topic=24062.0) we are looking to do some more updates. First and foremost, we will be doing cleanup on our forums. There is inadequate amounts of stickies that often get ignored due to their sheer incomfort and how complicated they are. This does not mean we will dumb down the topics into 2 words, but we will look into, for example merging 3 topics that could easily be a standalone single topic and so on. Just make the forums overally easier to use for mainly the newcomers.

This however will not be an immediate update, but instead we will be looking to be gradually improve them topic by topic. This change probably won't be a change of significance to you, but still it is a change for the better.



A change that may be more of your interest, is our change of approach to forum nicknames.  We are taking away the possibility to manually change forum nicknames. Now, we know, this probably doesn't sound too good of a change for you but allow us to explain our thought process behind this change.

"With this change we are not looking to take away the freedom of our forum users, rather than actually improving the forum experience for our users. Many find it extremely frustrating to keep track of people when they are changing their nicknames every second. With this change we are looking to change for the better. While the users will still be capable of changing their nick, from now on people will be actually able to comprehend who is actually who"

To comment further on this, we're not enforcing you to stick with your registration name, instead, we will create a topic, similar to "Warning Removal" where people will apply for a forum name-change. This will make the forums much more convenient for people to use. We are aware this might cause a small uproar, but we hope you understand this makes it incredibly easier for everybody to keep track of who is who.

The topic can be found in board - Ambrosia General in a sticky topic - http://www.ambrosia-servers.eu/community/index.php?topic=27416.0

We hope you are pleased / understanding of the changes and we sincerely hope we can achieve more comfortable forum experience.

Nice decision.

As Todo said, it will be easier to recognize people :)

One suggestion : Change also the nicks of people using symbols instead of normal letters or ban the use of symbols.

It's quite annoying when you are using a tab or a phone to browse the forums because some characters cannot be seen :-X

That's actually a good suggestion. I'll add this to the rules of namechange topic,

No, it isn't. The table there doesn't include couple of extended ASCII codes that can be used, but it's impossible to find a table with one.
