Well, I'll go straight to the point:
Overgrown signatures lately become very annnoying. It's just absurd, seeing posts containing no more than 10 words and a half-screen signature under it. Big pictures are not the only problem here, massive text signatures are even a bigger issue- they can't be blocked by ad-blocks. Come on, it is SIGNATURE, not an essay- nobody reads those. So my suggestions are:
5) It would be also nice to give a topic creator an option to allow or disallow displaying signatures in his topic. If someone's creating a guide for example, or any good knowledge topic it needs to stay as clean and watchable as it can be. Disallowing signatures could help achieving it. 6) Last but not least we could use a profile option to show or hide all signatures. It would solve it all, even without limiting signatures. Every user will decide whether he likes or dislikes watching sigs. Having a signature is like keeping a gremlin.

6: I'm currently working on that. i'm still getting a bit use to the way this forum runs. I'm hoping to have it done sometimes this week. And i do agree, Only put what is needed in your signature. dragon eggs are nice, but any more than 2 is just ridiculous . if your going to make long Signatures, PLEASE! PUT IT IN A SPOILER TAG! [spoilerV] [/spoilerV] without the 'V'
If anyone has a complaint about an unnecessarily long signature, PM me! leave me the name of the user. and if i do agree that it is too long, i'll put most of it in a spoiler tag. I do Maintenance work on WLODB. As such i don't actively post,

I don't think we need to put a signature size limit. I just think we need people to learn to use spoilers if their signature will be long. I just started using dragon cave and I only post here on wlodb.com. This is the only forum I use and I enjoy the dragons so I don't think it's fair to start putting up limits and then I can't use the dragons anymore. But I think people need to learn to use spoilers. I mean look at my signature. If you open up my spoilers then yeah my signature is really long. But with the spoilers my signature takes up barely any room at all. if people would just use the spoilers then I think everything would be fixed instead of putting up all these limits. If you put up all these limits you are going to have more people complaining and will cause more problems than actually fix anything. FORUM RULES WLO EMOTICONS

I think we should give people a chance to fix their signature before admins get involved. Send them a PM and give them a week to make their signature more presentable and not so cluttered and if after a week they don't do anything then let an admin get involved. Just a thought though. But I think maybe adult dragons from the Dragon cave should be spoilers. I mean you can only have up to 4 eggs or 4 hatchlings. So I think maybe the eggs and hachling dragons don't have to be in the spoiler but the adult dragons that don't need clicks can go in the spoiler. FORUM RULES WLO EMOTICONS

Heh, we just got caught up in an everlasting problem: suppression Vs education ;)
Sure, suppression ruins morale, but I'm afraid is the most effective way over a short period of time. Simple education needs authority. Someone who don't have authority won't be listened. Children in the internet feel careless, they feel like outside their parent's influence, thus they act chaotically, disobeying guidelines. Internet, nor any forum mods or admins, nor any site guidelines are not authoritative enough to make children obey those rules. It will affect only small percent of new users. Education through good example, as an additional way, works better than just simple education, but it needs a whole community to give a good example. I mean, most of the forum should have small signatures. So far it's unreal because most active users have overgrown sigs. If new user sees a huge siganture in every second post he just follows the trend, and makes one for himself. I think the best idea so far would be just to make a profile option to show or hide all signatures AND start educating new and existing users how to use signatures, and how to keep them reasonable. Still it would need a massive, active AND CONSTANT education.

I do agree with you on most of that. Yes, most of the people that disregard forum rules are children (or adults without much maturity) But I don't really like the idea of forcing people to do things. Right when we start giving people rule after rule to follow the more topics we will see from old users talking about how strict the site has become and some might stop using the site for that reason (seems childish but it's most likely trust) I think the users on the site could do better to show more respect towards the forum. So much time and effort is put in by everyone to make the database as complete as it is and the forums are full of answers for anyone to look at. But I can't agree with suppressing the users. I don't believe in many people to actually act mature on the internet and I don't expect many of them to learn and act accordingly. If we suppress everyone we will have more complaints and some might leave the site. If we try education or good examples then I know the only people that will follow the guidelines will be those who never did anything wrong to begin with. While those who the guidelines are for will continue to ignore them.

You mean need more moderators. they are the ones that usually control Topics/posts. Administrators have full control over the forum/website. generally there is only 3-4 administrators per site. and about 5-6 moderators. But the moderator feature hasn't been coded in yet. i'm working on that as well.. Pain in the butt :/ but till then, just leave us a message and we will do what we can.

And change the PM system from looking over almost 30k usernames, to just "type it" system. It would be a lot easier for people to access PM other users here in WLODB. Looking for a specific name on a long list takes time and a lot of patience.

just a little something that was kind of bugging me last night and on a few occasions. Do you think we could do something about the monster section to make it so you can search for monsters by lvl? You can search monsters my location by going to the locations tab and clicking on places like 'Osyla' to see all the monsters that are there and what lvl. And when you click on the monsters tab you see the monsters in order by lvl but say I'm training a pet at lvl 40 and I don't want to take the pet someplace where it's equips will be broken (like the raptors in osyla) I could search for monsters between lvl 40 - 58 since any monsters lvl 59+ will destroy my equips. Can we do anything like that? FORUM RULES WLO EMOTICONS

Umm... you CAN type the whole name. If you'll click the "recipient" block and type the full name it will choose it from the list. You just need to type it fast. That's exactly the same way how you choose items when adding compounds and recycles. I never scroll through the whole list, I just type the name and list becomes highlited on the item automatically.

I spoke with Scott a while back about deleting some of the avatars because there are people that add 5 or so avatars to the site then choose 1 then a little while later they add 5 more and choose another one. I thought that was a lot of space that was wasted just to put avatars that no one is using. If I remember correctly Scott said the database is still relatively young and so we still have plenty of space that we don't need to worry about that right now.
I think it would be a good idea eventually to delete the old profiles but there are problems right now. Once we get everything fixed then I wouldn't mind it. According to Scott we have enough room on the server though. So I don't think we really need to worry about it at the moment. FORUM RULES WLO EMOTICONS

hey bloo what do you think about working together to create some rules/guidelines for the forums. I don't think we have anything written down yet but it would be a good thing to do so that all of the admins know what is acceptable and not acceptable and how we can deal with it. And also the members know that if they do things like spam topics or use foul language their posts will be deleted or their account banned or whatever punishment we decide. What do you think?

I was going to start a topic about it but I guess we could work on the guidelines here. Somet things I wrote down were
1. Do NOT spam topics punishment: All spam posts will be deleted that's just some things I thought about before I went to lunch and I had them written out. They seem to match with yours pretty well. But I think we need some guidelines along with some punishments that way the members know what will happen if they do certain things and also we, as admins, can give out the same punishments. It wouldn't be right or fair if someone did something and I just delete their post while someone else does the same thing and you ban them or something. It will just keep the admins on the same page which i think will be helpfull since there are 6 of us (it is 6 right?) I'll have to spend some time thinking about other rules and punishments and such. so I'll have to post again later. -.- If you need any help moving the topics and stuff just ask. You don't have to take everything on yourself. I was going to go through at some point and look at some of the people that I know spam topics constantly and I was going to delete the spam posts. what do you think? If you need any help moving the topics just give me a place to start and I'll help out ^_^ **EDIT**
