Ok, I finally have some good ideas that you absolutely must use in the new site.
- Make a system that informs the authour of a level when a new review to his or her level is posted. The message informing the authour should be visible on the main page as soon as the user is logged in. Same should probably go with photos and articles.
Article reviewing system.
- Instead of using a drop down menu to select the tileset you used for a level, make it a text box. That way, custom tilesets can be typed there.
- Make the drop down menus for gametype and version (1.23/1.24) be defaulted to something like "Please Select One". That way a level submitter cannot ignore those categories; they must select something. This will help cut back TSF levels being sumbitted as 1.23 ones.
- Give us admins the ability to prevent users from making actual reviews, besides N/A. This is so we can punish bad reviewers without giving them the dreaded "low access". Some review abusers don't really deserve to have low access, but don't deserve to be allowed to review either.
- Integrate part of JDC into the site, such as the top 5 competitors and the next event. It can be an optional feature, just like the poll and mini-listserver. This feature would mainly be for promotional reasons.
More ideas comming soon.
