TOPIC: Anyone fancy a change on the forums?

Well as everyone knows the forums seems to only have lists of endless moderator applications and ban appeals. The one or two fun topics are either locked or removed. No idea why anyone would remove it as it is better to see than lists of mod apps.

If the reason that people don't like posts like that is because it is apparently letting people post farm then surely there could be a way to make post count void on that if it actually hurts someone that much.
Also second idea I had was to make mod apps and admin apps to be posted through a template setout such as a registry form for a website where they have the questions and boxes for your answers in each of them and it is sent to one of the community managers who can then add it to their powerpoint for the meeting. This would stop my eyes from burning having to search through the forums trying to find a post that isn't a mod app.

Anyway I just wanted to know people's general opinions on this.

I second the motion.

This motion clearly passes

First of all, we should get Xenforo which is much better than Kunena and we should get custom Forum ranks (e.g. SSRP Moderator, Forum Moderator etc.) and to stop the evil regime of not letting people post what they want!

First of all, Xenforo is shit. It's slower than the fucking PayPal website, has more security exploits than the US Government website and the last update was adding support for Windows Millennium edition.

TLDR: Xenforo is LOL

I've no idea where you got that information.. I've tried out Xenforo and it's very fast and safe. The last update was also a few weeks, if not months ago.

Xen looks nice but we use Joomla. Kuena is just the forum addon.

If not Xenforo, then vBulletin, which is a little bit slower. I'm begging you on my knees, change the forums and add Staff members ranks please! We need some changes!
Thanks.

Rank images are available in Joomla (for example our ZARP VIP rank with badge), but I can imagine our members (for example me) with all my badges from ts on Forum:

Developer, TS3 Staff, Forum Moderator, DarkRP Admin, Deathrun Staff, Minecraft Staff, ZARP CS GO Team, ZARP LoL Team, ZARP Volounteer 2014.

Can you imagine this?

"ZARP CS GO Team, ZARP LoL Team, ZARP Volounteer 2014" These aint no staff ranks these are just TeamSpeak badges that some people added.....

Plus why did this thread got like people talking about two different things... :/

Yep, I agree. All we need is ranks like "SSRP Moderator", "SSRP Admin", "SSRP Superadmin", "Community manager" etc.

As we're mainly a DarkRP community, probably for the best if it's just darkrp and community ranks.
