Suggestions for improvements (New forum)

[ImmortalDread]

Just a request, can you look at a banned user's profile I mentioned above with (Banned) tag, and send another screenshot what it looks like in dark mode?

• First banned user
• Second banned user

They are white, and I don't see any strike through. So yes, it is really confusing.

 

[Antvasima]

I cannot reproduce the problems that you described above. I saw a strikethrough and regular username colour for @speedster352 .

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

That's true, I saw what Ant saw. Could it be a member or supporter only issue? Why are strikethroughs now the issue?

I don't remember the time when I did not donate (somehow once I joined I directly donated) if there are strikethough

But ya, it could be the groupuser from donations who use dark mode can't see strike through text.

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. Can you list a few regular members and a few regular members with supporter badges that you think might be willing to help us check this issue, please?

 

[First_Witch]

Checked on Speedster and tried all Forum Styles. In neither of these styles is his name striked through.

 

[ImmortalDread]

So I am not the only one

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Oh, so it's probably a member thing then. I speculate that staff and the like probably sees the strikethrough.

Then there's also the red username issue.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Ya. I think it is donator thing. Can you ping donators to help us?

 

[Antvasima]

First Witch is not a donator though. I will ask our system administrator about it again.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Most likely just a regular member thing, not a donator thing.

 

[Antvasima]

Most likely just a regular member thing, not a donator thing.

Agreed.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Agreed.

Most likely just a regular member thing, not a donator thing.

So the solution is? Why the system manager could not find the issue when @First_Witch reported the issue that it is about dark mode.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, our system manager is very busy with tasks for other clients, and did not notice this error when he checked.

Understandable.

 

[Antvasima]

Our system administrator has now created a function that automatically adds "Banned User" badges to members who are banned, and removes them if the bans expire or are removed.

Is this a satisfactory solution for you all?

I know this is a late reply but, that's because staff, including the system manager most likely could not see the problem at all. The person that could fix it could never see it, that's most likely why.

I like that functionality, that will work.

However, there's still the issue that I also mentioned, quoted below.

These users have red names:

These users don't have red names:

This still persists in dark mode. Most likely unrelated to who's banned or not, but it still confuses people.

And how does it look like? Let me see

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Search for a banned user's post.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Eh? I check spedstar and other banned user and it became white, are they unbanned?

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

In the list that I stated, there is no correlation whether a user has red name or white name to being banned or not.

 

[ImmortalDread]

In the list that I stated, there is no correlation whether a user has red name or white name to being banned or not.

In your list, you mentioned both of them. Mind giving me any banned member? So I can check

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

These users have red names:
RanaProGamer (Not banned)
Damage3245 (Not banned)
Marshadow29 (Not banned)
Sniper670 (Banned)
UltimateDarkGod666 (Banned)

These users don't have red names:
FantaRin_The_First (Not banned)
RizQ (Not banned)
Veloxt1r0kore (Not banned)
Star_King_Demon_Lord (Banned)
speedster352 (Banned)

Here, it states which users have red names and white names, and if they're banned or not.

I sent this because this is proof that the username color has no correlation to being banned. IF they are banned, what matters is that their names had strikethroughs, not the color of their usernames.

If you search for a banned user's posts, is it supposed to look like this? This looks overwhelming in light mode, and even more in dark mode.

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. I will ask our system manager about the two problems.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Hmm. I will ask our system manager about the issue.

Thank you, something else seems to be causing red names, I checked both banned and unbanned users alike, and I saw a lot with red names regardless if they're banned or not. So, I have no idea what causes this.

I could be wrong with my speculation though, I was just guessing.

 

[ImmortalDread]

These users have red names:
@RanaProGamer (Not banned)
@Damage3245 (Not banned)
@Marshadow29 (Not banned)
@Sniper670 (Banned)
@UltimateDarkGod666 (Banned)

These users don't have red names:
@FantaRin_The_First (Not banned)
@RizQ (Not banned)
@Veloxt1r0kore (Not banned)
@Star_King_Demon_Lord (Banned)
@speedster352 (Banned)

 

[ImmortalDread]

Alright, I clicked each of them and yes, they are still the same.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I hope that he will be willing to read your posts here, as I have a hard time explaining the problem properly. Let's just wait for him to take a look please.

I hope his conclusion won't be that I need to move to light style, because no I am obsessed with dark style

 

[Antvasima]

As I said, let's just wait here please. It could take a while for our system manager to get the time to handle this.

Summary:
Red Name Issue:
Users seem to have inconsistent username colors, which causes users to be confused because people think that users with red names are banned, when in reality, they're not. DarkDragonMedeus said that red names are caused by not having any banners (I tested this, and he's correct), so this should probably be fixed. Strikethroughs and the newly added "Banned User" badges should do the trick.

Samples:
These users have red names:
RanaProGamer (Not banned)
Damage3245 (Not banned)
Marshadow29 (Not banned)
UltimateDarkGod666 (Banned)

These users have white names:
FantaRin_The_First (Not banned)
RizQ (Not banned)
Veloxt1r0kore (Not banned)
Star_King_Demon_Lord (Banned)
speedster352 (Banned)

Banned User Badges Issue:
The badge should only behave like the other badges.

• The "search results" of banned users is overwhelmed by Banned User badges. [image ex.] [link to ex.]
• The Banned User badges are above the user pronouns. They should probably be below the user pronouns instead. [image ex.]
• The Badge also appears at the very top of the thread that the banned user made. [image ex.] [link to ex.]
• The Badge also appears on profile posts. [image ex.] [link to ex.]

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I have informed out system manager.

Sniper is not anymore banned.

Our system manager wonders if somebody has any good suggestions for what kind of solutions we should apply to the above-mentioned problems.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I believe white color names just mean they have banners on their profile iirc, but strike throughs and banned user badges seems like a good suggestion yeah.

Wait, what banner?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Wait, what banner?

As in a rectangular picture on your profile.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

As in a rectangular picture on your profile.

Oh, the profile banner. Wait, you're right actually. I tested it and my name turned red.

I'll edit the summary. Thank you.

 

[ImmortalDread]

I remember @Bobsican suggesting having under name, is it bad suggestion?
