Status of upgrades to groups and friend network
|
Thanks for the feedback - we have a multiple prong strategy that will be rolled out soon. We don't want to block 100% of contact info sending, just people who send it out all the time before they get to know someone. Reason I ask is that some groups have more then 10 pages of members and when need to ban or remove a banning from a member it is quite difficult to find them through all the pages. For my group of The Likeminded Ones that I moderate over I have 14 pages of banned members alone. It would really help serious "Active Moderators" of Groups if there was a Member Handle Search as what is on the Blog section. Nick

luvpump, as someone who used to code for a living, I am glad you are taking the time to weed through the code and trim the fat. I know first hand what a nitemare patches upon patches can be. Thanks for finally being frank about what is going on. It has given me new patience. You asked for feedback about friends, I happen to agree with everyone else that once one end is gone, a link no longer exists and the other end needs to be cleaned up as well. By what many ladies have expressed, most will know well why their "friend" disappeared. From a code stand point here's a tip on double pointers. Follow the pointer BEFORE you delete it. ProfileA clicks delete on ProfileB. That's your pointer TO profile B. Follow it to open ProfileB, in *it's* friends DB search for ProfileA. Delete that link first. Then close ProfileB and delete the link in ProfileA. It *should* be cake  but I know theory and practice can be two different beasts. Best of luck to ya! -V(btw, I only recently discovered this blog. Will be chiming in more. Would also be more than happy to be on a parmanent feedback group/list)

Oh yeah, one more thing. I think the Associate Member stuff is a cool idea. But there is one thing that I think would be far easier to code, and yet potentially alot more useful. That is giving moderators a link to simply REMOVE a member. Currently BAN is the only option. If a persons activity has fallen so low, moderators wish to just not see them, not have another list of clutter. And removing a member is essentially the same code as remove a friend. K.I.S.S. no?

i am some what surprised that we did not take advantage of the line, "I'm not only the C.E.O..."

My two cents. I say if someone doesn't want me in their network (or me want them in mine) then the tie should be cut on both ends. Another Cent: I would think that the efficient operation of this site would be highly contingent on management of the resources and constant managable hardware and software updates to improve functionality. For example; why do the Advice Line question and answer archives go all the way back to 1999??? Couldn't those computer resources be better used to make this site more efficient overall? And, couldn't the whole concept of keeping things current (say 6 months or 1 year max) make the site more pleasurable to use and easier to manage as a whole? Since this is not the Library of Congress why would any of this be kept longer than a year??? Sorry, that was 3 cents!!

Thank you for all the hard work. I can just imagine what a pleasure it will be to manage my group once the updates are completed. Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost. ~One Minute in Life~

Just wondering .. would it be possible to have in the member list a search box in order to find a member easier when wanting to ban someone ??? Is it possible to ban more than one member at a time ??

HELP!Please....lol...In my group called Big Tit Lovers, the associate members list keeps going back to '1 post every 3 months'...which is ok I guess, but since this group is of a sexual nature, and I realize that people have other things to do and all, like maybe they travel for business etc, or who knows what, I dont really expect them to post once every 3 months, I like to keep it set at once every 6 months, and I have tried to change it back to '1 post every 6 months' at least three times now, and it keeps going back to '1 post every 3 months'. I will email CS about it, but I thought you might want to know about it....not sure how many others have that happening, but they might wanna check theirs too....

Andrew, It is time someone did something about MeLikeKmunch and all his other fake profiles. I am sure many wouldn't care if he blogged his way to hell, but he is ABUSING the intent of the Advice Line, and verbally abuses members that oppose him. While on the subject of the Advice Line, it is the complete shambles now. Not just the programming problems, but the misuse of many people including the above and niceguy20402. It no longer serves a real function of helping others with sex and relationship issues. A number of members have left the site entirely over this, and many more are not renewing memberships they say. I would like to see the Advice Line survive. I learned from it, and helped many as well. I would like to see a panel of members review the posts and submit only those that are legitimate. As it is now, you have a racist/sexist joker with around 200 threads, one women recently was soliciting "favors for favors", posts about and bestiality have come into it. muzby, livinlavalova, stealthceleb, MeLikeKmunch and now the new one Aminsexy25 ? something carrying out his nonsense. Many members have made complaints to the Abuse team about Blogs and items in the magazine that are clearly viloations of the ToU, yet nothing seems to be done. Asking for some acknowledgement that these complaints are even being heard is ignored. Does the Terms of Use exist only for the lawyers and Various Inc. and not for the members? I know this is not the intent of this blog, but dammit many are getting fed up! Thank you for listening, tmk Virtue Alone Ennobles
