More Minti Upgrades

Comment Published at 20:1920:1922 comments22 comments162 Visits162 VisitsReport

A few major things went live the other day and also today...

  1. The new member algorithm just (minutes ago) went live.
  2. All members can now delete others' comments/posts (and edit or delete their own) in their Member Blog, their Member Lounge and groups that they are the Admin for.
  3. There are now restrictions on Minti mailing for new/low ranked members to fight spam.
  4. GMail address book upload has been fixed.
  5. Hotmail address book upload is still not working and has been removed as an option.
  6. Anonymous gifts no longer display the name of who they are from.
  7. We now display the year on blog posts when they are not in the current year. eg: This blog post never had 2006 on it before.
  8. Super-Admins can now reinstate articles.
  9. Super-Admins have more statistics

Hope you all enjoy.

Clay

Re: Question 8

Clay, Matthew, Rachel and myself are super admins.

Last time I checked I wasn't wearing green tights and capes and I definitely don't work in my undies. lol

Re: Question 8

oops yes i guess i should have clarified "super admins".

because we have "Site Admins" (ie: level 5+) it is a tech term for the other admin level which has more functionality etc.

Re: More Minti Upgrades

Here is a screen capture of what I can see. You can clearly see the delete link for yourself.

A lot of power for someone now ranked 500+  :-(((((((

I say get rid of the rankings and just have shields and I don't think that the main reason for moving up should be based on advice. A lot of us contribute in many more ways than advice and not rewarding these people is a huge let down.

Re: More Minti Upgrades

monarogirl,

thanks for your feedback, passion and contribution...

  1. i think the delete option has now been removed from your view?
  2. by the way, it was visible but actually if you had clicked it, nothing would have happened, not that this is particularly good anyway...
  3. thanks for your input regarding rankings and shields, we take it all on board.

cheers
clay

Re: More Minti Upgrades

I'm think this is referring to Hours2004.

I'm a little miffed over the new ranking - I was looking around last night and noticed it and can't work it all out.

There are members who have contributed to this site and often and who are now ranked  500+ - compared to those who rarely write, lounge, blog and so on who are in the top 100.

I checked out and compared a few members and their articles + votes recieved and it seems more random than strategic. How can a member be more active, write more, recieve more votes than another - but then be slammed further back in the ranks? There are a few that this has happened too, so I'm not just looking at one particular person either...

I'm not bothered by it but I can understand why some members are - for many people minti is all they have - rankings is a way of saying 'well done - we appreciate your efforts'. At the moment the rankings are say - 'yeah, you've written adivce and done well - but we want more from you'

You could always just do away with rankings completely and just have shields. That way, you still acknowledge efforts and activity here but there is not focus on where you're at...if I'm making any sense at all

Re: More Minti Upgrades

At the top of this, just after the number of visits, there are two options. One is delete and the other is report.

Is this an error or can anyone delete your blog?

Re: More Minti Upgrades

are you saying that you can see a "delete" option in my blog post above?

If so, this should not be the case :(

Let me know.

Clay,

I have MG standing right next to me and yes, she can see the delet button in your blog.

I've been able to see it to in the past - but didn't think anything about it. I don't have it now for some reason though.

I like the editing comments...just asked about that!  It's a great idea to have the year of blog posts, it was something i was going to suggest.

Sounds great.......Yay for being able to edit your own comments, now I won't look so silly with all those typos, although they did give me a laugh at times.
