User:The Man Himself/Improvements

In light of The Derek's recent attempt at gathering suggestions, and Pinobatch's creating of a similar page to this one, I thought it useful to make one of my own. Below is a list of suggestions I have for improving explosm.net.

Comic #4598
'Someone's gone down and favourited every comment. If only we could see who's favourited.'

Suggestion that we should be able to hover over or click the star that says how many favourites there are, to drop down a list of users who favourited that comment.

"Hey there

So I’m one of the many commenters down in the comments section of each comic, and things are getting slowly out of hand. I have a bunch of suggestions that are not necessarily thought of by me, but will do wonders for the comment section.

1.      Make the reply depth limit bigger. So maybe not unlimited replies to replies, but instead of the 6 or 7 we have now, maybe like 10. Just something substantially bigger.

2.      A full-time moderator of the Comments Section. There’s been many problems with automated spambots down here and some members feel that a person with the authority to delete comments on sight would be helpful. This should probably be an older member of the comments section who knows what’s what instead of some random off the streets. Money is not necessary.

3.      Instead of it saying ‘This comment has been eradicated by the Explosm Death Panel’ when a comment gets deleted, a full eradication where the comment is no longer seen or an option similar to the ‘Hide RCG comments’ where you hide eradicated comments. This would do well in unpolluting the space down here especially in comics with the large spambot numbers from #4208 onwards.

4.      Make it look like you guys are aware of us. We have no idea whether you guys know we’re here or that we have a large community of people here that have actually gotten to know eachother. We’d like more than a comment a month from Kris. That’s mainly the reason I’m writing to you since you’re the one most associated with handling the comments but I have no way of knowing who’s actually in charge of the Comments Section.

Pease take these into consideration, I’ve heard that you guys reply quite swiftly to e-mails.

Regards,

The Man Himself"

An e-mail sent to Derek by myself with four suggestions: a bigger reply-depth limit, a full-time moderator, eradicated 'eradicated' comments and a bit more recognition.
