Topics

Global

• Registration issues:

Captcha Implementation to reduce the amount of fake/spam accounts.

Stay away from IP-Range ban (which affects real users).

Refrain from questions that are outside the knowledge of a normal user.

• Re-Organisation/Distribution of powers:
  • Re-Organisation of groups' leaderships
  • Strip power of the inactive users(wiki: Translators and Editors).
  • Add active and trustworthy users.
  • Allow to unban users for specific groups.
  • Create new Translator and Editor groups for Alternative Languages Contributors.

• Modify, simplify and remove outdated rules from the guidelines:
  • THIS PAGE by Cloudii sums a lot of things up, but it's still under construction. However, some things can be done now (links on main page).

Wiki

• Wrong link leading to the wiki's Copyrights page:

Replace with http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Baka-Tsuki:Copyrights

• Changes in the Protect function:

The "supervisors/administrators only" option disappeared, and it's impossible for supervisors to edit pages with that setting.

Forums

• Remove four of five "disapproving posts" sentences:

Choice cases are moved to the right, due to an excessively long justification sentences.

• Clean up of users created before 2014:

Purge all members without a single post on the forums.

• Guest Posts:

Add captcha or some sort of human validation to the guest post form.

• Sub-forums:
  • We could use rectangular thumbnails to shorten a bit the page, with half the current height.
  • A reorgnization would be welcome. 3 sub-forums moved, merged or removed (Shana, KnS, SAO/AW), one created (Kamachi). It isn't a bad deal.

    - Moving Shana in the Abandoned/Stalled section.
    - Fusing CSR with KnS, removing Index.
    - Moving SAO & AW in the Abandoned/Stalled section.
    - Putting Index, Heavy Object, Zashiki and Survey in a sub-forum named "Works of Kazuma Kamachi". Or with another title, it's up to discussion.
    - Renaming Daiden and Itsuten's subforum with "Works of Takaya Kagami". Same as above.
    - Adding DAL's thumbnail. No changes on other subforums.
