Suggestions for site

Post by KukY »

Few suggestions for this site:
  • Add another tab,link on http://lobby.wz2100.net/. Just so you have quick link to check are there any games.
  • Reward for contributing to WZ: Many people want to have that WZ bar under their name,so if they contribute to WZ a lot, they get that bar.It would be a group named Contributors or Modders.

I think that was why I got my bar.

But why aren't you in Artists group?
I think that WZ bar is very good stimulation.

I think putting me in the artist group gives me moderator powers, other than that, I don't know.

It's a long story.

I'm getting uncomfortable with all the "fake" WZ bars on the site, though. I think we need some sort of policy that you at least leave "WZ" off of it.

Hey, I never said it was policy yet. You can keep your WZ bar until we come to an official decision.

personaly i think it should be like hammorite 'exactly as it says on the tin'

WZ/developer for developer, WZ/artist for artist, WZ/contributer for financial donations and Elite for someone with 3 or more of said tags.

tho it would be nice to have a new one like WZ/Friend and have it karma related (for those that havnt seen it, some forums allow you to applaude/smite based on comments to gain or lose karma. and 1000+ karma could be eligible for the friend tag.

what you guys think?

edit: i think the karma style idea is valid regardless, someone with low karma answeres a question and the asker knows they can take the advice with a pinch of salt.

We don't have contributors - the project doesn't take donations. And an "elite" rank would just be pointless.

Our forums are too small for a karma system.

well that shot that down in flames.
ill leave you with a thought tho, perhaps if there were donations then small advertising runs could reach players that have hitherto failed to find this game, then maybe we would need a bigger forum and chat room.

nothing wrong with a little ambition beyond the code :ninja:

For what it is worth, I liked it and do not see anything wrong with people making parodies of the dev labels. Well, as long as people do not confuse it with the real thing, because then the labels lose their informative value.

I made myself a bar. What an irony...

You are a part of WZ community if you are active on this forum. ( viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4171 )
