Great Step Vijay Sir ,
Very Much Needed
Every Post Using Single Word or Just Emoji Should be Removed Coz it is just Unnecessary Spam by Some Members Who wants to Increase their No.of Posts

Their Should be a Limit of 30 Words Character Atleast to Share a Post
Less than 30 Words Should not be Allowed to Post . 👏

And Last Suggestion Sir An AT(Appreciation Thread) Should Not Contain More than 11 Posts Per 24hrs and More than 3 Posts per Member in 24hr
Coz their is Lot of Unnecessary Spam by Members in AT daily Just to Complete it Fastly

That's Why Sir Some Rules Needed to be Strict

😊

Thank You so much Sir Once Again 😊



multiple posting in a row is also spamming

I had to edit by "bookmark" comments with the fear that they might get deleted🤢

With all the revamping going on you can add a bookmark tab or something like the my watched topics but with the option of receiving email notification for a selected few.

I think changing of colour is something that makes I-F unique and different. At times when things get boring, the motivation for a colour change keeps us going. I obviously think spamming shouldn't be permitted but keeping the same colour for UN/allowing members to choose their own colour won't be fun and the same as now.
And the people determined to spam won't be affected by it and will anyway continue to increase their post count.

@Suta : Coolbies are a part of the DT and they're expected not to spam and maintain the I-F conduct, isn't it?😆

If this is to be done the Forum Games forum will have to be scrapped. And that forum is good to pass time.

One question Vijay sir,
As games forum has reduced to only 22 pages now...
Is it fully going to be collapsed? Can we post in that forums or not now? After getting this news of deletion of posts, I haven't posted in games forum.
So, I wanted to ask, can we post there or not?

I dont want all the colors gone. just want the limit down to 25,000. like at present after one lakh posts, color doesn't change, I say make it 25,000 and after that let the people choose their own colors.

I've prepared a piece for this in advance, so I can cash in the moment it happens.

"Teens and Adults on the outside, Babies on the inside have decided to protest the decision of the popular Indian entertainment-centric forum - India Forums - to avoid having a chunk of their posts taken away."

It's a sad day in June 2017 when internet moderators and admins have decided to abolish the freedom of a forum user. Instead of having hundreds of thousands of "TFS" (Thanks for Sharing), "Thanks", etc. few worded posts, they have decided to outright ban and remove any posts that solely consist of these word, acronym, or short phrase and are thus a waste of forum space and bandwidth.

However, all is not lost. A group of verbally violent, adolescent members - their age unknown, fortunately due to the mystical grace of the divine goddess of knowledge and wisdom, Saraswati, Isis, Athena, or Minerva - have decided to protest this obvious abuse of power.

From making extremely illogical arguments to just saying the stupidest things you have heard, this group of protesters fear a loss in status that they genuinely worked so hard to achieve. This is, after all, a life or death situation because in India Forums, once you lose status among the favorable (read: Self-Proclaimed Crazed Followers of Celebrity Fan Groups), it will not only be tougher to crawl back, but in that amount of time, with that many posts, a form member could have become someone else.

Being a money-making scheme that this is, it is very important to -- wait hold on, my boss is sending me a message. Mmmhmm, mmhmm, yeah, okay, uh-huh, sure, really, wow. Okay, I'm back. My boss just informed me that this is not related to money except in the sense that they lost all that time. Given that they probably weren't going to end up putting that time to the best of use (hey, they are complaining about it instead of accepting and moving on), it really makes no difference.

Other members have encouraged and congratulated the mods on making this move. But they really didn't give two-shits to begin with so it really doesn't make too much a difference to them.

A few members have even offered to donate a chunk of their posts to those who will feel the painful feeling of separation from their posts. Such pyaar, ishq, aur mohabbat between post numbers and humans is a wonderful sight to behold, until you get past all that and see the weirdness behind this.

Of all the things to complain about, I'm surprised that people think that losing post numbers are far more important.

Here a list of top 10 things I would like changed:

1. Having some sort of memory of what has been written so a refresh (by accident, or by IF's "there are some words breaking the rules, so please edit your post") doesn't erase the contents.

2. Increase forum width to be dynamic. Those with widescreen (which is really common in 2017) displays can take advantage of the entire entire screen instead of having borders around the sides.

3. More smileys. For reference, I suggest something like this: https://slickdeals.net/forums/misc.php. Also, if you intend on keeping the same smileys, at least upgrade the resolution to make it more sharper and cleaner. It's a blurry mess.

4. A smart URL linking system. I want to be able to click the Link button and have a link automatically made. I DO NOT want to highlight everything after "Http://" or "Https://", click the link button and then hit "OK". It's an unnecessary step and a hassle.

5. Change the emoticon image. Why is it this guy - - when we can have something happier like 😊.

6. Fix the formatting problems (Left / right / center justification, indent, etc.)

7.
- why is this blurry? Make it crisp and sharp. Update these icons to something in higher definition.

8. Have a maximum image size formatter in place. So when someone posts a huge image and it comes outside of the base forum width, it would scale it down to an acceptable size.

9. Update the forum logo as well. On this "post reply" page, this is what the logo appears like -

That's blurry. Seriously, what is it with you guys and this lack of quality. Even the Inbox, Scraps, Slambook area is blurred.

10. Do you really need a cut / copy / paste icon IF. Take it out or add something else.

Instead of screaming about losing posts, let's focus on improving IF. Face it, TFS, Thanks, etc. are a waste of forum space, offers no discussion, insight or thoughts, and you end up scrolling past it.

And now, I copy before clicking "post reply" because I don't want to lose this and I'm not going to open google docs / another application on something that a forum should have built in. Then again, I guess it's not that much of a loss if someone has to retype "Thanks" or "TFS" to begin with 😛.


LMAO Absolutely Brilliant dude. 👏🤣
