Let's start from news-part. It's good, yes... Informative (but some times to short), yes... BUT... You are writing only MAIN news in scene section. All other news, that could be added, or some part if it, is submitting by users. But not all news is getting posted. Why? Because not every person can just write news, or they just submit links. Sure, it's wrong, but some part of this news gets lost, cause of being not in English/German/French or some other euro-language... For example - Russian news... The thing, that I'd be happy to see, is news submitting system, as Fnatic site has... User can write news with the same control, as newsmaker, but it getting posted only after approving by admin/newsmaker... Also, the author of such news will be shown not admin, which approved this news, will be shown person, which wrote this news... The most active writers than, could become SK|newswriters... I think that this will be very nice thing.
Next part is upcoming :D
Good point, that is actually how the old news system worked on GeekBoys.org.
Hmm no, please email them to bds@sk-gaming.com
Multi msg´s to all your contacts.
A folder of "sent msg´s"
A played/owned games list (as Eurogamer had)
Posibility of having more than a clan (Some players are in diff clans in diferents games)
Just some random things...
Played/owned, means you can make a list of all games you have so your friends can see?
But still a gaming feeling I guess? No all-white-a-la-CNN?
Firsti thing first, this is the ghost accounts. You would probably not delete them, ok no problem. But u can just rename them and send the users the info on their mail. In that way they will be informed and again visite the site when they see the letter.
Secondly, i think most of the users will agree, are the forums.
Most of the forums have number of topics, that can be deleted for sure... So as i said in one topic, it would be nice if there is special forum crew, that is resposible for the forums.
One or two people per devision, or whatever structure u want or consider to be useful.
May be some gallery pictures should be deleted because of what they show, and probably you should implement some penalty / rewarding system... i dont have clear view of the last but it`s up to you =] i hope i was useful in some way :)
Better search engine too, but I think you already know that :p
Short note about coverage features: not only EU/American events... CIS events are interesting too... :>
?
The flags are not really pretty. There exists other flags “worked much more”.
Exemple : www.pain-is-coming.com
nice blog bds
Sourcing news is something people really dont understand how it works. Will write where we stand on this!
That is more current bugs, what about future ideas? Dont be so sure about stuff not happening :)
Correct.
Noted
opinions of pro players about their and another teams gamestyle..
eFame
For the coding:
1. As stated before the teams page should definitely go through some rough surgery. Putting those players in the current page is not that nice I think.
2. I think you definitely have to split the spammers from contributers and develop the ranking system into something like approved levels or something according to some ranges of points (eg. forum points, scene points, features points, etc) and give extra points for hot blogs, submitted news and so on.
Allow the user to use these points in their benefit: a t-shirt, one month insider, gather with the team, a photo album with signed pictures, etc.
3. I would also put some more work into the team's profile page and allow them to host their mini clan-page as this is all about I guess. Let them have small galleries, news, guest books, members presentation, awards, etc. Not that much coding and it does make a huge difference with users feeling this is just for them and for free. Also add some extra cool features for "insider teams"
4. A huge and updated FAQ section. I am not saying that the website is not user friendly and not by far, I am just saying that the information on nono's for example are too short, too few. Users have to read SK's blogs to find some very useful information and a FAQ section could make a difference.
This is all I can think of at this point. I know some of the stated ideas are resource killers, some are hard work and so on but I also think that this could pay off.
Kind regards, Stelian
Awesome points, thanks!
next:viewing a small avatar after zooming on person which visited my profile
edit: would be nice to see some insider improvements like hltv's on servers (i know there's a thread about it already) or maybe 2 noninsider gather servers. I know that's not such a big idea but alot of ppl already said what I wanted to write here.
News: Everyone's focus is on the high-level gaming and they are aware of this but no one is actually making a move. A great alternative for staying without news for a week because nothing really happens is keeping an eye on the smaller teams or on top teams in undeveloped countries, gaming related of course. If users won't be pleased to see their middle-ranked teams named in sk-gaming nothing will ever please them. But than again this would mean tons of work and here is a short quick solution: weekly country overviews with match results in those countries, short interviews, names, etc.
Features: Gaming, gaming, gaming. A guy does something and his face is on an SK Feature. Not saying this is wrong but at some point users get a bit tired of it with same people stating same things most of the times and comments do show that. I would really like to see some nice products reviews on this website, a dedicated person to advise users on what to purchase or what fits what and so on. If I were a professional gamer I would definitely like to know what such a huge portal/website/community has to say on a specific product.
Coverage: Scores are important but feelings make the difference. Telling the user the score for a particular game is information. Having a free chat with the player after the game has ended on how, what, why is feeling and users want to know what happened there and there.
Forums: Most of the threads there are plain spam. Adding debate moderators would be a huge leap. Users may open threads just for getting over the moment's boredom and as no thread to write something smart is actually there they spam. A debate moderator who launches smart topics with numerous pros and cons on a subject is what the forums need.
Have some other ideas but not that important.
Note: This is just my point of view and may be interpreted at some point like I am mister know-it-all which is just because of the multiple use of the word "users" but at the end of it all I think this is what I as an user would like to see. No-one should be offended in any ways about this and apologies for those who do.
Well a new page would be great, and it would be perfect if it would be built like mouz.wazap.com (mousesports page).
Its the most attractive and userfriendlyest Teampage i know.
A Clan like SK should do more Communitystuff, because this page is the best and biggest Community.
Why dont you split it in 2 pages like fnatic?That would be great!
So long

Also, the posting rules should appear after the comment box, and maybe you could write a sentence such as "By posting a comment you agree to the posting rules" and link "posting rules" to the beginning of the list below the comment box.
You could also add a "favorite" feature like on gotfrag, to make it easy to bookmark pages such as forum threads that could help you in the future.
I'll think of more things :)
And btw I really liked the old design, this one feels so... I don't know... digital. No sharp egdes and stuff, if you know what I mean :-)
The layout has to be something NEW and not that s*** as every site using such as NiP, Team3D, coL etc etc. Those layouts just gteting borring after the first visit because every site using this layout. It also doesn't have to be as a 0815 layout which means just the navi + content. There should be of course graphics but clear structured and not too stylistic.
There should be also some new features, options etc. but I think everything is already said such as your own clanpage/presentation of your own team on this site etc.
Good luck bds and hopefully we will see a good result in a few weeks!
bit like #2 but we can create the layout as well some way?
once u get down to zero for flaming, spamming etc you have your forum and news posting rights taken away and your ip logged to prevent such examples of multi users with the whole warriorbro rubbish
@ the forums:
A poll option, not limited to the profiles (With the correct moderation, could be a great idea).
A kind of wysiwyg sistem for using the html codes when redacting msg, just copying the html code it´s "hard"
A "reporting offensive content" tool, maybe for ppl with good karma, this whould make the moderation easier.
Maybe a rss sistem for every single forum, for the user to choice wich forum wants to read.
In the forum ways I just can´t say much, cause I think in the "mod" way, so I just can offer ideas for a better moderation, but I don´t know how is the moderating sistem, so...
@ the main
Maybe the option of "making" your own main site, I mean, like the iGoogle site, u can put the news, the forums, the features in the place u want to access easier to your favourite zones of the web. You just can´t touch the sponsors or the head, but all the rest.
