.:The BIG Collaborative List of Suggested NS Improvements:.

[Unibot]

Add the contents of this thread?

Done. Thanks.

Also, just a thought, but you could separate or order the list based on whether a suggestion is likely to happen. Some of those I've said we can't/won't do, some we definitely plan to, and some we're thinking about.

I'll get on it.

EDIT: Okay, as you'll see I've added three categories, one for things you've endorsed, one for ideas that haven't been shot down by you yet, and things that have been shot down and probably will continue to get shot down. I've sorted all of the stricken links to the bottom of the endorsed categories as well.

Just noticed, good stuff, thanks!

No problem.

I have an idea, you know the national animal, leader, capital city, religion, etc. Well, could we have like a national anthem, a national seal that you can upload, and some other cool nation stuff.

This.

Got it, thanks.

Here's an idea, straight off the top of my head: HDI ratings on your Profile!

We could make it like the Tax Calculator.

Speaking anecdotally, I'm not entirely sure they would have the server space to accomodate national seals and anthems in addition of flags. Logically, if they already limit the file size of flags, they would presumably have to limit it further (or limit something else) in order to accomodate more media. I'm not entirely sure if this is the case though, and seals/anthems would be a nice addition if it turns out to be workable.

Just an idea: when all the newbies join the WA and get that TG, how about telling them that:
1. It may be the World Assembly, but NS is a universe.
2. (more important) It's nice to post your idea on the forums before submitting.

Following from this thought:

Ok... This thread really belongs in Arts & Fiction. I understand posting it in General because A&F doesn't get a lot of traffic, but how else do you expect Arts and Fiction to grow if you do not post in there?

This was from a thread in General about Clint Eastwood quotes.

It's true, Arts and Fiction is a rather sleepy forum. There isn't any doubt that the thread will go faster and longer where it was started (General) than it would in A&F.

To some extent, starting the thread in General and then having it moved will encourage Generalites to post more in A&F. But it's also quite likely that by the next day they'll have forgotten the thread, because it isn't there on the first place they look which is the top page of General.

So, we still have the "moved" link for threads which have been moved, right? I'm not sure it's always put there where the thread was moved from. If not, it should be.

I'm making two suggestions:

1. (Nuclear option) Could a thread like this one which isn't out of place in either forum be MIRRORED on the two forums? This might not be technically possible I realize, and would probably add to the server load.
   
   
2. Could the "moved" link be made more persistent in the forum the thread was moved from? It seems to fall down the page (sorted by most recent post) just as fast as a locked thread does. Instead, could it be bouyed up by new posts in the other forum? This could apply only for a limited time, say two days, and after that it could be allowed to fall as they do now.

(I'm mostly thinking of this as a way to encourage Generalites to use Arts and Fiction more, though it might apply also to threads moved to other forums.)

I wrote it myself
I think its a really good idea

[Unibot II]

I will repost this sticky soon, so I can continue editing.

Quite sad that A&F is so deadish (my word!)

Some seriously emotional conversations happen there.
