The Feedback Thread

So it just occurred to me that we don't have a thread for providing feedback about the site, the moderators, the administrators, or whatever else.

Want to praise somebody? Want to disagree with the way we're running things around here? Want to vent your frustration about me or anyone else on the staff? Do it here! You may very well be bringing up a point that's on many people's minds, and one that we might not be aware of or have been slow to address.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR FEEDBACK DETAILED AND RESPECTFUL. Saying something like "you guys suck because you couldn't properly run a website if your life depended on it" might make you feel better, but that's not going to help us improve at all. Give us specifics.

If you'd rather provide feedback directly to me for fear of making yourself a target here, that's perfectly fine too. Just e-mail me at char@e621.net

I never want it to be said that we, or at least I, was not open and RESPONSIVE to feedback.

Alright, so, I'll start this topic off with an issue that has been bothering me for quite a while now.

Fixing, much less IMPROVING, the site has been slow. Really, really slow. I'm well aware of this, and I'm sure many other people are as well. There are still tons of bugs that have remained completely unaddressed ever since the change of ownership in September, almost half a year ago now.

So why aren't we making any real progress in this area?

Truth of the matter is, we need a Ruby On Rails coder. Varka knows a bit about Ruby On Rails, but we need someone that really has experience with it and would be willing to volunteer their time. That's it, really. That's why we've made so little progress. I'd love for that to change, as I'm sure you guys would too. We've got to find somebody, so if you or anyone you know might be interested in helping us out, tell us!
Aurali wuz here.

Responses to this or any of your own praise/complaints are welcome below.

You all are doing awesome. Except Aurali, he/she is never doing his/her job right. >(

Aurali is doing his/her job right, I'm sure. But s/he's a real ninja about it. Sneaky devil. I doubt I'd see them if they were standing right in front of me.

In other news, my feedback for this post is that so far, I really like how the new team has been administrating the site. Aaaand... well, that's all I have for now, actually.

hooray, maybe now people will stop thinking they'll get banned for showing slight criticism. maybe.

oh yeah that pissed me off too. I just deleted the comment though.

I find that the "Quote | Vote up | Vote down" buttons don't actually seem to work for me. Is this related to my account type, shitty ISP, or is it some kind of a bug and unrelated to the first two possible reasons?

Is your Javascript working?

It has been everywhere else, and the "Respond" button to your post worked just fine as well...

Well, I don't know what's going wrong then.

SINCE WE HAVE NO FEEDBACK HERE I AM GOING TO ASSUME THAT WE ARE AWESOME, THANKS

You guys HAVE been doing an awesome job, though. When we have complaints or gripes, we bring it up in the relevant topic and you guys respond to us within hours, if not minutes, of posting. You've so far proven to always be on the ball whenever something happens, and even when the site goes down accidentally we are confident in and know that you are doing your best to fix whatever the problem is. Unlike Mellis et al you don't slam people for having opinions, instead actively working things out with the community, and you keep everything (for the most part) transparent to us, the users, which really puts the amount of effort you guys put into this with very little benefit rather amazing. Yeah it's been slow, it's been taking time, but you do stuff to give us something better whenever you can, even if it's an inconvenience (see MLP complaints spurring the blacklist fix).

In short, kudos. Thanks for putting up with us. You're doing great, and I hope to keep working with you guys for a long time.

...This ain't your first time here, is it?

I've never been banned, if that's what you mean. :P I've just been one of the many anons floating around for the past.... jesus, at least four-five years now it feels, maybe more? So I'm very familiar with what's gone on visibly. It wasn't until recently what with everything that you guys have been doing, for good or ill, that I finally decided to make an account proper and start speaking my mind, and actually participating as a member of the community.

I like all of you.Especially what you have done in past couple of weeks.

:D

I wasn't asking if you were previously banned or not. Was just asking if whether or not this was your first account.

...Site opened in feb 2007. your mind must be playing tricks on you.

So about three and a half, four years then. It is mid-2011 after all.

It's not 2011... Is it? *looks out window*

OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WORLD

Either you're posting more pictures per page or the blacklist thing no longer removes posts from pages andi t's a bigger difference than expected, but I'm seeing a LOT more pics per page and I LOVE it. Thank you so much for much much less unnecessary clicking.

Yep:

Implemented dynamic thumbnail loader, thumbnails only load when you scroll down to them to conserve bandwidth.

oh, and i didnt know if this was a place i could bring this up...but it is a feedback thread, so...yeah. sorry, if its not the right place.

The amount of comments allowed per hour will be addressed soon. Apparently there was a misunderstanding of what the limit should be.

well, thats kinda my point. my understanding was there be a limit only if a comment comes with a bump. not bumping means no limit, is what my understanding was. unless that's the misunderstanding you were referring to, in which case...good. i liked the option of no limit as long as there was no bump.

This was like this for months now, Dash

That was removed because of Barbados. If we're getting it back now, it's because they're changing it again.

Its removal was due to a misunderstanding.

I have no idea how long this has been the case, but I just now noticed that, no matter where else you are on the site, the "Forum" tab italicizes when there's a new post! Brilliant! If this has been the case for a while, then I feel like a moron, but it's still good.

It's been like that since the site was created.
