which is why the shouttrail was invented

The web designer thought people would just use a shoutbox to keep the conversation in one place, it just never happened.

We are getting a new site? Im so behind in the talk lately… crap.

Email alearts would be cool, expecially if you are one to check email first when you hop on the web. Me personally, I dont need them, so the option to turn them off is awsome to me.

PS, Its cool to meet an admin for the first time. :D! Hi! lol!

[quote Laina1312]I agree. I hate it when I shout myself, makes me feel like an idiot, and I don’t see why we can’t just have private messages like other sites. I don’t really like giving out my e-mail address to people on websites, but it also bugs me that my converations are public. It could be a little stalkerish.[/quote]

TOTALLY AGREE! I hate shouting myself too, its embarassing! Even when I have been here over 3 months… its still… well… makes me feel like a total noob. lol!

Jeff has said thousands of times before that the whole private thing would be bad and i think Yousef agrees

blockquote>Sasha - you can open your email to anyone - all you have to do is put them on your friends list. This means you dont have to publish your contact details. - Mas Also the anon function is there for the specific reason that established users can ask for help without revealing themselves. - Mas /blockquote>

also sometimes its useful to shout yourself

yeah, thats a good idea. more options are always good, but personally i dont get any email notices because if i did there would be too many..

yes, i have seen so many of those!
i laugh so hard when it is some guy who can’t even spell proxy. it’s all the more reason to pay attention in school

well in theory, *technically* he is a normal user now

i think anyway

he should be admin though

[quote Luck of the Irish][quote Alpha Knight][quote Jeff]To be clear, while I’ve been allowed to retain the Admin markings, I’m not actually in charge of anything, a member of the official staff, or able to affect any changes. Just to be clear.[/quote]i sorta caught that, i mean, would you really make a thread like this if you personally could change it?but, like Ikari said, you are our only hope in connecting with the others and throwing down some new stuff.[/quote]Well yes because he would want to know our opinions on it.[/quote]

but he would have at least been more; “how do you feel about *blank*?”
ITT he is simply stating that it is needed.

So, you know who all the anons are…

Well yes because he would want to know our opinions on it.

[quote Luck of the Irish]say now a troll comes here, are you able to ban the person (just out of curiosity)[/quote]

Technically, yes I could. However, I don’t use any of my admin privileges.[/quote]

if you were to use them would you get beef?

We were told that before I think I kind of forget, but say now a troll comes here, are you able to ban the person (just out of curiosity)

Great!
Thank you for coming back to tell us all about it.
Personally, i want more mods.
Some stuff happen when they are no mods around.[/quote]

genius!
but we do need a lot of changes.
the mods seem to be ok now, before it was pretty bad with all the troll, but we killed off most of them.
now we need some technical changes to make it easier to move around here.
not the highest of priorities in the world, but, they could really help help.com

Great!

yeah thats sounds cool
im all for that idea
even though for me it would be never never neve rnever never
the option should be there

help.com needs more mods

and it needs the quote function to be happy with carriagereturn!

Your the man Jeff, that’s a good idea.
