"What control-freakeryness would YOU impose on TMP?" Topic

We all seem to think we can do better than Dear Editor.
Everyone and his brother keeps coming up with demands, err "suggestions", about how he should deal with stifles, formatting, stifles, icons, automatically loaded quotations, stifles, pictures, stifles…

So, what new improvements would YOU shove down the throat of everybody else on TMP, to remold it in the way YOU would want to see it?
It doesn't really matter if nobody else wants it.
I am sure we have had Polls on "this very thing" at least a half dozen times in the last year. ("Like" buttons, anyone? Limiting stifling?) What matters is that YOU want to force everybody else to conform.

Me?
I would list all the name changes an account has had on the Profile page.

I would also keep track of a Member's criminal record, listing how many times he has been DHed or Locked. Purely for entertainment purposes!

I also hope that Dear Editor NEVER actually puts these to a Poll, and never implements any of them. That includes yours, too!

None it works and those who do not like it can leave. Seems to work okay for now.
FWIW I have been DHed about five times. in nine years.

I'd like to see more ponies -rainbow or not- randomly inserted to bring joy and happiness to all who click on the site.

Oh…you may have been serious?…in that case: Too bad. ; )

PS- Nice thread subject!

PPS- "I would list all the name changes an account has had on the Profile page."

…thems of us with poor memories (and even less concern: hypocrisy intended) would appreciate that feature.

Arrghhh! The ice! It's cracking..!

I would like anyone who proposes a poll to change some aspect of TMP to be sent to the Naughty Step.

Connard: I think I should send you a copy of 'Aaaarrrggh!'…let me know if you're (masochistically) interested.

Of course I'm a masochist. I keep on coming here…

Limit the number of topics someone can start to one per day.

Doghouse people who start "Why have I been stifled?" topics.

Doghouse people who use more than one punctuation mark at the end of their topic title.

Get rid of that Guilford Courthouse thing.

Get rid of that "In the Jailhouse Now" video and replace it with old Westerns.

Get rid of all the people who annoy me.

Give supporting memberships to the five people who are left after that.

"…to the five people who are left…"

; ) !

Disallow anyone from suggesting what freakeryness they would impose or calling the editor 'DEAR'.

Who cares, when it is no longer about miniatures, we'll go elsewhere.

Impose a strict ration on quotation marks.

Contrary to some opinions, change is NOT good !

Clearly, folding money is MUCH better !

Move to a web format which wasn't obsolete in 1990.

I dassen't know what I would do to improve--in my own mind--Tuh Mip.

Isn't this part of TMP's charm – if it ain't broke, don't fix it…'

There are plenty of forums that have all the bells and whistles out there, but which die a death as they don't arouse any passion…A recent forum exclusively about Black Powder rules, for example, a subject dear to my heart, was extremely swept up, trendy colours, all the gizmos, lasted about 2 months, with a total membership of 9…..

Much more importantly, from my experience and from that of several other TMP ers, this format is bandwidth light, very important to those away on Deployment/TDY who don't have too much bandwidth allowance and for whom TMP represents a little bit of home whilst out there in the bundoek….

Stopping the over the top stupid questions and polls, with me being the final arbiter of said screening…..

I would impose only one thing, if a member is kicked off here for saying something really offensive, like, oh, I don't know, that the editor was 'dead to him', or summit, I would never allow that member to weasel his way back on here.

Simples.

oh god it's started again…………..

The Editor is doing just fine.

number of boards…..
rules of play, miniatures, table dressing, off topic.
if your post cannot be classified as suitable for the 1st 3 then it goes in the 4th.

Impose DNA testing so we can get rid of all the invalids.

FWIW We should ban all acronyms like LOL and send all people who use them to the dawghouse IMHO.

"So, what new improvements would YOU shove down the throat of everybody else on TMP, to remold it in the way YOU would want to see it?"

Get rid of all the boards, just retain the 'wargaming' and 'plus' categories.

All posts go into either one of those categories and we have the option to sort by last updated instead of first posted.

I'm serious.

Well, if we are allowed to drag up old ideas, I'd change the maintenance schedule to upset someone other than the Brits :-)

More Boards.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Does that happen to you, TOO?

But I still love chocolate….

He's better looking than I imagines, but less hair,

This thread took a turn for the wierd. Im off to watch zardoz to clear my brain.

The ability to alter any threads/posts to meet my own aesthetic sensibilities and to delete those that I decide are irredeemably dull.

I'd ban every one from the USA.

I'd ban all Southampton supporters. Up the Cherries!
