I think it is a great idea to have a few "subject related links" posted above the books board.
I think it would be a good suggestion for each board to have such a related links list.
-------
I think a board for "art & culture" would be a good suggestion.I could consider co-moderating.but I think before I speak,it would be wise to read what it means to be a moderator.
------
considering current events world wide.
maybe a board for "enviroment & world watch issues" might be of interest.
but I would hope it wouldnt to too contraversal.and if it became so,could people debate & even agree to disagree without it decaying into a rant war?

Btw, you can't be a Co-Mod unless you pay for it.

I happen to think it'd be a good feature, so long as it was run fairly (no 'tiny tyrannies' for Mod regime). If such a board were created, the possibility for 'rants' would always be there, because most people can't hold a real debate without slinging mud in the other guy's face.
However, this also might draw in more potential customers into BK, a'cuz 'Everybody loves to watch the fights'

But.. it's up to Fencer, idinnit? :P

pauloaguia 
Subject: Fischer time indication
On the Main Page game list, each game has a reference to how much time there is left. But there is no distinction between time left for the move or time left for the game. The later definitelly need some special attention and shouldn't be mingled between the rest of the games (and only come to the top of the list when their time is running out).

Can this information please be added? Some suggestions:

  • New column with indication of "type of time left" (game or move). This would allow to sort by this property
  • On games running on Fischer Clock, add a red dot next to the time left with the legend on top (game time left)
  • Separate this type of games into another table


I personally prefer the second and hate the third (but I always add even the ideas I hate - it may trigger some good ones as well).

Subject: Re: Fischer time indication
pauloaguia: Game time left can only be determined for games with a Fisher clock, and a 0.0 increment/move, can't it? Since a lot of players will not play any such games, using another column takes, IMO, too much screen estate for its return. OTOH, if Fencer also added another configuration parameter, which indicates which columns you see on your running games lists (for instance, I personally don't care to see the name of the tournament - and with it gone I can see more games without scrolling as many tournament names are long enough to cause wrapping).

11. July 2005, 13:02:58
pauloaguia 
Subject: Re: Fischer time indication
AbigailII: aggreed that the time displayed isn't necessarilly the total game time left.
But as it is now, a value is still displayed, and it's the value that is valid at each moment.

Anyway, my point was to have an indication that allowed us to distinguish between the two type os time control. How it is done and it's full implications I'll leave it to Fencer ;)

1. Paying for a membership doesn't buy the right that your suggestions be automatically implemented, or even considered, as you may have already noticed...
2. Paying for a membership certainly does not buy you the right to rant and rave when your voice is lost in the desert...
3. Paying for a membership DOES give you the capability to hide other people's opinions, although you might find yourself very much by yourself in most DBs :)

My question: Is the case in what I asked in "[OT] strange ... but can me somebody explain this?" a BUG or a FEATURE?

12. July 2005, 21:07:49

Hidden people can still post.

Post get a red (1 new) message for each post.

Users can not see hidden post.

So it depends on how you look at it. The (1 NEW) message is a feature so people know there are new posts. But since the new post is hidden, then some may look at it as being a bug since even though there is a new post, it can not be read.

Subject: Re: If children learn to debate, then they will learn to think for themselves.
gekrompen hoofd: especially in today's fast paced society..the media for example bombards kids from infancy..not always with positive,healthy behavior patterns.
it is hard for parents to compete as they try to raise there kids descently.

working against this is the system making most 2 parent families work long hours to survive.so kids are raised up as "latch key kids"..whose only role models are rap-gangsta-drug-stars.

also working against this is parents who arent actively involved with their kids as much as they could be.

Subject: Re: Censorship
chessmec: I view it as a good feature, not as a bug. Until the time that there's a list of banned people, I like knowing that someone has been put on hide even if it is indirectly. It also doesn't mean that someone is on hide, the post might be deleted at the same time you click to the discussion board. When there's 47 posts in the little number, do you really count each post to see if any are missing?

A request. I would like to be able to see hidden messages from people put on hide by the moderator. The postings revealed to me in this manner would only show on my screen, but I could make up my own decision about them. The moderator could carry on with their job of keeping the board safe and on topic. Only those people that actually wanted to view the posts would have access to them.

Because of the censorship i am making regularly snapshots, so it is easy for me to recognize which of the past posting were hidden.

So, if hiding, then do it very well. I saw it not directly but in a way which surely is not planned ... "2 new" but in the board only one.

Only those people that actually wanted to view the posts would have access to them.
People can hide postings themselves. Why that?
