Post one thing you wish you could change about dbzf

I may not deserve to live, but I will protect those in my reach with my reverse blade!

So, the end of the year is upon us and it will be the time for reflection of another year and how we as a community can become an even better community.

That being said, post one thing about dbzf you would change, bring back, etc. I think we should have more topics like this for the staff to sift through. I think a lot of the time members don't realize that staff members' jobs are to maintain and progress the forum at large, so it's the community's responsibility to give suggestions, feedback, etc for the staffers.

Only 3 rules for this topic; don't suggest someone be made a staffer or lose their position & this is not a debate thread, give your suggestion and maybe a brief explanation (goes for mods too even though I obviously can't stop you from it) & try not to troll if you can help it.

My suggestion:

Bring the dislike button back. Pretty simple for me, didn't have much of a reason for it to be taken away even though at the time I didn't argue much because the staff seemed scattered on a lot of issues.

Some suggestions you might like that have been mentioned periodically over the year:

-Bringing back Podcasts
-Bringing back DBZF Monthly News
-Incorporating a Reputation System
-Work that went undone with dbzf.org
-Interview Section; Maybe needing new Interviewers
-Forum Rules & Section Rules
-How to earn elite & legend status
-Parliament ups and downs
-Changes in Donator Perks
-Adding and removing sections
-Continuing Member of the Month
-The whateverthe**** happened with the spam section(s).

.......You get the point, I hope everyone can give an honest answer. To be honest we had a lot of ups and downs this year and I think too much of the forum is staff-driven when it should be member-driven, so that's why I made this topic.

Good suggestions, I only said one because I think every member has at least one thing they would change, but as you did feel free to offer more than one. Maybe underline the one most important to you though, if you want.

I put them in order of importance. The first two are definitely the most important to me.

I don't have as much of a right to say things I'd want because I'm newer, so I'll give my opinion on what you said?


-Bringing back Podcasts

THIS. I used to do a podcast every single week and they were fun to do and listen to! I would love to have these for when I'm resting or doing homework.

-Bringing back DBZF Monthly News

Once again, I'd love to be kept in the DBZF loop.

-Incorporating a Reputation System

Uhhhhh maaaybe? It'd be nice to have an idea of other members, but I don't want the forum to be a lot of rep whoring.

-Interview Section; Maybe needing new Interviewers

Interviews are always fun!

-Changes in Donator Perks

Maybe make a donator-only chat or some kind of perk like that?

-Continuing Member of the Month

Always good to have an incentive to make good posts!

Rep system- But to avoid whoring, maybe make it so each member can only give one rep each day.

Dislikes

That's all I can think of :)

In the Rewatch section, can we have a section for DBZ Kai? Since it starts airing in the UK on Jan 5th, it would be cool to be able to have episode discussions!

This can be doable :) If someone who knows how / when it's showing in the UK (as in how reguarly etc) can PM me about it i'll get it all set up.

Rep system is already in progress - just waiting for the one I want to be out of beta :p

Old spam archive may happen, we just need the time to sort it out.

Interviews also rely on members to do stuff :\

Podcasts are okay - just need more member contribution lol

Other people can address parts of it if they wish c:

You mean one rep total each day, or one rep to a single member each day? If it's the former, that'd be really odd IMO. A lot of good posts would go un-repped.

Dislikes back. Sometimes I honestly think I need them, even though I've probably used two in my lifetime.
Interviews, but up to us eh? Yeah, we should bring those back guys.
Dbz Monthly news? Don't think I was around at that time, but the name tells me enough. I'd like to see that here.

I think that's about it from me.^^

Here's my suggestion: don't bring dislikes back

The negativity is undeniable. I 've seen staff members go nuts after someone disliked their post. And they will argue that it was a random dislike, when in reality the person genuinely did not like their post. I know some people want it back really bad, but please do everyone a favour and don't bring back such negative things...

alright that's all :)

It will be one rep to a single member every 24 hours. Or something like that - not sure exactly how it will be done yet. As stated rep system is in the works.

In regards to interviews feedback on current ones is always nice - also for members to respond to interview questions. I had one which I started and kinda just faded off due to the member not replying :p

If you wish to help out with the interview team (as an interviewer) again PM me and we'll see. To do this though we would ideally like a well-spoken long-term community member. Receiving interviews is chosen by the interview team perse.

This is the reason they were taken away - however it was not just staff members who I have seen react that way. There is a reason that facebook has never installed a dislike button. It was a conscious business decision to only have the option to like something.

Feel free to show support for someones post, however if you don't like it (if you disagree changes are you can reply politely to the thread explaining your opinion) then there is no need to respond to it.
