Tom Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 i know im new to fuwa but i got lots experience in other forums for several years and i rlly like this site and would like to help out, so i think i can suggest a reasonable and realisticly manageable improvement/request/idea. and here is what i think could really help the site out: BADGES where would they be displayed? actually i would replace them with the , they seem very dull to me how to obtain/earn them? similar like how u would get ur custom title. in short by helping out in the forums how it works? to keep things simple and fun u can hav up to lets say somewhere between 6 and 9 different tiny badges in 2 or 3 rows (i think that wouldnt take much space and could look very pretty) isnt that way to many badges? i think no. u get each badge by accomplishing a different goal. obviously one badge is for the post count (the badge will change according to the number of posts u hav and require. another badge for the number of likes you have received. hmmmm, alright, here a list of different kind of accomplishments: Post count Likes count Guides/Walkthroughs/Articles Different kind of Projects Events Donations to fuwa (ofc this badge wouldnt change according to how much u donated, means there would be only one badge for donations) Number of Visual Novels u completed and writing reviews about them. Helping people out with for example making banners/avatarts or just being friendly towards others in general Something with Facebook Maybe a special badge for the very few ... So there r definitely enough ideas to pull this off Oh about the Username Color it would change according to how many Badges u currently posses. and maybe have the fuwa colors up until u hav 4 badges. if u hav 5+ u can choose a custom color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Potocki posted this yesterday when -- as if he could tell, psychically -- I was finalizing the awards system. Good on ya, brother! Thank you for your understanding when I hid this topic and PM'd you. I wanted the system to be a little bit of a surprise : ). Regarding username color changes: I'm not opposed to flash, but keeping a uniform green color for usernames -- for me, and in my opinion -- maintains the spirit of equality. If other members feel differently, I'll look forward to hearing their feedback here! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 that was strangely funny : ) well its a good thing it was implemented, but there an esthetical problem imo. - That User´s Awards under icon is way to bulky, probably best to remove it. (-) Maybe try and see if it would look better to put the Badges above Location - As for the last thing. Unique Honor Badges r fine, but i would change the Honor Badges and Achievements to look better. And no need to have multiple walkthrough and post count badges. Just have the highest one be displayed. Well those r my thoughts for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I wouldn't like different colored names, it would look weird imo. As for the aesthetic problems, we are aware of them and these icons and all is only a placeholder, I (and few other people) will work on the icons later this week so they are better. if Tay actually told me beforehand that he is going to implement this, I would have made the icons earlier! But no, he had to keep it secret!!!! xD You can check the official topic: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/3215-in-progress-1222014-forums-updates-%E2%80%93-please-come-and-share-your-thoughts/page-3#entry59782 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 ah i see, so let this be bout the diff color names i always liked colored names on forums, makes it prettier imo, could even go with the same color as the background to troll ppl u hav no username lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 could even go with the same color as the background to troll ppl u hav no username lol That is exactly the reason it is bad. We used to allow people change their name but some people just abused it and used like a single dot . as a name and such, so we had to remove this feature. We don't like trolls and anyone who intentionally tries to cause confusion is a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't like trolls and anyone who intentionally tries to cause confusion is a troll. so if thats the only reason then just got to use another color, very simple (and its not something the normal user could do but the staff) well its not really a frequent thing to change your username so seems kinda strange to do that in the 1st place. and that dot thing could be easily solved by putting an atleast 3 characters restriction in that system. trolls or not, it can be avoided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
