Hey guys, for a little market research I am just finding out what you, the Scratchers, love about the Scratch fora and what you think isn't right and should be added/made better. All posts are helpful, but please post the truth! Many thanks, Sparks.

EDIT: Since people seem to be talking a lot about the users, I'm more interested in hearing about the features the fora offer for this research, thanks!

Here's a list of things people have said already. Rather than reposting, please +1 them in your post smile

We like:
Interacting with the community [8]
Learning new and interesting things [2]
Find info on a problem [2]
Ask for help [1]
simple to use design [1]
kind and helpful mods [1]

We dislike:
"Scratch time" rather than local time [7]
spam preventatives that inconvenience the innocent (e.g. no img tag) [7]
"2cool4rules" - people misusing the fora [5]
old-fashioned forum blocks [3]
no preview for quick-post [3]
no "read" mark next to read threads [2]
linking to youtube repeat, not allowing video embedding [1]
disabling smilies in a post is not remembered [1]
no way to appreciate posts (like button) [2]
view counter is not unique [1]
not enough time to edit topic titles [1]
more than one thread discussing pretty much the same thing [1]

For future reference: fora = forums.

Hmm, I just like interacting with the community. smile

rabbit1131 · 2011-12-29 16:49:49

I like the community.
Hate all the people who think they are too cool to obey the rules and be nice.

2cool4rules

i dont love or hate anything
those are both very strong emotions

rookwood101 · 2011-12-29 16:53:03

Just so it's added to the list (although I think we all know this one):

dislike: the fact that the image tag is disabled (although I do see why it was done)

That's okay, just things you like or dislike works fine.

What about the "Scratch Time" on posts rather than local time?

my-chemical-romance · 2011-12-29 16:54:01

Like-Some of the community.

Hate-Some people trying to be different or hard for anything and they can't just do something without causing a scene of some sort.

scratch time is actually my time, but if it wasn't that would probably be fairly annoying

i like picking up tidbits of information on the forums

for example, today i learned what the word fora means

I hardly use the time on posts, but when I do it's very hard to understand.

Lol I can be a bit... "disobedient" at times.

I hate morons and trolls who do something bad and then evryone else gets punished.

any particular kind of bad stuff?

That's quite difficult to generalise and categorise as a statement tongue

I mentioned above, everyone, that I'm looking for positives and negatives about the current fora's features more than the current fora's user-base smile

Just put trolls, I am of course talking about the one which made the img tags not work anymore.

rookwood101 · 2011-12-29 17:15:59

I don't like the distasteful block images and the buttons for the different categories of blocks on the post/reply page.

I've classed it under ""2cool4rules" - people misusing the fora" smile

Aidan · 2011-12-29 17:18:52

I hate people using the word "fora" instead of "forums"

GirWaffles64 · 2011-12-29 17:20:59

I like interacting with the community

I hate the obnoxious small ones (by small ones, I mean everybody who isn't 14)

That's a shame, it is a correct plural of forum. I guess some things won't change tongue

Today I learned that Scratch Time is different than mine. Wow.

RedRocker227 · 2011-12-29 17:45:49

I like the fact that everyone on Misc. knows everyone else. It's sort of like our own private group tongue

And I dislike the sixty second rule. Which is attacking me as I speak hmm
