[Suggestion] Narutobase needs a change for the better.

[slaton02]

There isnt many unbiased debaters. to me trolls and fanboys who can't admit when there favorite is outclassed.

This community is much more lax than the site I frequent, and the threads created are still terribly made. We don't need lightening of the rules, we need members who can make better threads. It doesn't take more crude topics to spark more discussion.

My point is that the rules and formats are limiting the potential of the thread makers. I could make a 20 paragraph thread with 15 hours of time and effort put in, but because there are no hottest threads anymore, what's the point?

Personally, I don't mind character bashing, but I can see why there are rules against it. As for the "Hottest Threads Section" I have no idea what the hell is going on there. I haven't clicked on any of them in a while because it's basically the same shit over and over, and I couldn't care less about predictions nor forum games. I think there should be a revision as to what determines whether or not a thread is "Hot". Maybe a voting system of some sorts, idk.

I agree with this. I never read the forum updates and having them on the main page doesn't make me want to any more. I also agree with the character bashing thing. Unless it's a thread like "**** this or that character, they suck" or something like that, then It's no harm no foul.

Right, after dealing with that little zlad issue, I think i'll give my two cents.

The reason the quality of threads has dropped is not the fault of the staff, it is the devolution of the members of the site. As nb has gotten bigger, more people have noticed it and joined this community, a large number of these new members seem to be trolls, or just show masses of disrespect to the rules and staff of this site, and thereby spam, flame and troll the site, and most threads these days cannot go more than 2 pages without a rule being broken. That is the reason we trash the threads, so kindly do not point a critical finger at the staff who enforce the rules, instead, take a long look at the large number of rule breaking and trolling members in your midst, as they are the cause of the problem, not the staff.

Ive been around here since 2008 and the style of threads have changed but it mainly is due to the fact that there isnt much left tp discuss that is purely interesting anymore. Ive been on this site when Sasuke was first fighting Itachi for the revenge of his clan. At that time there were many great threads and theories about the manga in whole and what was going on. Seriously some of the best threads I ever read were when everyone was trying to figure out the secret of Pain.

What rules and formats are inhibiting your creativity? You can't create threads on racism, sexism, pornography, heavy character bashing, against other users, and the grey areas in between these topics. Where's the rest of the many things you can create? You know what threads I'm trying to create? Custom Naruto Lore expanding. It would spark more discussion and actually NOT be about top characters and character bashing. You just have to find your own way, and it doesn't take crude topics to do so.

It's a good thing you and the other moderators are. They would otherwise stick around, invite more flaming and trolling, put a negative reputation on the site as a whole, it just wouldn't make posting on the site fun. So thank you for sticking around and cleaning up the site for us, because some users take it for granted

I can't see hat does the mods/admins have to do with this ? i don't think the members contribute in debates and theories based on the "quality of the thread". Some threads die really quickly because some members are just re-submitting threads that have been done million times.

You're not getting it. I'm talking mostly about the hottest and weekly threads pages. The fact that these threads were taken away makes putting effort into threads less meaningful because they will never show up again. Again, I don't have the answer, but you can't deny that since the format of the home page has changed, the quality of discussions have too. If it was solely due to the manga coming to a close, then other, more successful sites would be experiencing the same problems.

I have been on this site since 4 years for now i signed up 2 years ago forgot username/password and after a year i joined again i have been veiwing threads since 4 years and i see alot of diffrence but Change is a nickname of life sucks but its true D:

 

[Saikyokami]

for one nothing too interesting is happening in the recent manga chapters.

 

[Big Sean]

I don't know why they removed the Hottest threads, but it should be put back.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Why did it take so long to implement these new rules like no char. bashing, removing the dislike button, 10 char. limit per post, removing the hottest threads, etc. the series is about to end, this site will almost be empty when that happens, might as well go out with a bang imho.

 

[Zeph]

Can we limit the 10 cha to 3 or 2 cha ^^ its troublesome to type the dot.

As much as i like this site, it is inevitable that the manga will end, so no matter what amount of moderation will be implemented, people will leave after it does.

NB has changed for the better.

New forum software, new layout and better tools to navigate the site.

Character limit is set to encourage meaningful posts instead of pointless/ spam posts. We have people who post messages like "IDK", which are nothing but waste of server space. We would be probably better off with 3000 mature posts than 30000 spam ones.

Forum news have been really helpful to get people attracted to creative sections of the site and other important activities at the forums. The largest fan base we have is Naruto but Naruto isn't the only thing we discuss. It's helpful if we have less spammed but still popular threads visible on home page. Such decisions are made on the basis of over all stats and those stats include the hits and responses of less active or less vocal users too. Spam threads on home page all don't sit well for the site and despite many warnings, members didn't care even if it were troll threads with negative/inappropriate content being sent on it.

Most of the users who are complaining about hot lists' absence are the ones who spammed in threads back and forth with similar posts again and again just to reach at the top. I have seen a user making more than 30 posts of the same one line sentence in a single thread to bump it up constantly and it was OP's alt. Anything for a hot thread.

Five spam threads on home page in the name of Hottest thread limits you terribly. Besides this option (The hot list) is still there- see the quick link menu on top.

For the regular members of the base you have a lot better options to check out the interesting discussions.

You must be registered for see images

There are also today's topics, and new posts options. These links are much more helpful in checking out the interesting discussions.

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links

^ this though not sure if you can access these links directly or have to click on the option from top bars yourself.

It also shows you the hot threads highlighted with blue colour ( via today's topic other than quick links option) and with no replies in red. and you get much longer list with section details.

The quality of discussions depends on you guy guys yourself. Admins provide you a place to post your opinions and Moderators try to keep it neat and organised but creativity and analysis ability is not something we can teach you. The Naruto manga is at it's end but if people are still unable to review the series properly and go beyond the Versus threads or character bashing then it's their personal limit not something staff can do much about.

-Mostly copy pasted and a repeat but hey so is this " suggestion".

 

[Miltonius]

Yes. I understand. I'm saying that the format of the site changing, and the quality of threads slipping has a positive correlation. Personally, for me, the fun was going into a hottest thread or weekly thread and reading 20+ pages of debates and discussion on a certain topic. Because those don't exist anymore 99% of threads die after 13 or so comments. Where's the fun in that?

Well I've been lurking for 4 years and it seems almost the same, if you're find another forum.. simple.

 

[Strawberry]

Rules are good, the community itself is divided into fanboys and such nothing wrong with being a fanboy, just you need to be able to cooperate with the threads, and not go into bashing sprees. Vs threads need to calm down community needs to lighten up maybe have some activity days idk...

 

[Scorps]

People seem to like to blame the staff for whatever is happening on the forum. The site isn't "dieing" out as the OP likes to say. I've been here since it started basically and the community changed, yes, but because it grew so much it had to. Not only that but it changed to the better in 90% of what a normal member perceives and enjoys from the forum.

Rules have nothing to do with poor thread/post quality. Those aspects are 100% the fault of the members. This, off course, if we assume that its a real issue.

This thread was answered and the possible discussion it could have produced has reached its climax. Instead of complaining, I suggest members actually make good threads if they feel the ones being made aren't good. Simple.
