I think that on the top of the page where is says

Welcome Masterchief1790!
My Settings My Profile My Chapters :5

By the place where it tells you if you have messages in your inbox. There should be another little icon that tells you if you have anything in the queue for approval like new members or news submissions.

I also think that there should be a button by the reply and msg user buttons to report if that post was spam or not. I know spammers might try and do that for the good topics that are getting good feedback, but it would take a X # of people to vote for it to be spam. And if they voted for it to be spam then a moderator would be notified with a message that had a link, a number of the total number of people that voted, and links to contact all of them just incase that was a good topic and they were spammers trying to destroy it.

Id really like more freedom at the Review database, i really like to preview and review games, thus there two database totally commited to this in my chapter, but they are based upon the articles, because you are only allowed to creat one review database.So i really like to see more of those, and the option to a gallery database in which you can show screenshots,pictures of the members and more!

The 7th Column is a great resource, especially since it's offered for free. What I would like to see however, is a way to view/integrate whatever Halo 2 features, like stats, to an external, non-Bungie/MS website. For example, a method to query and display the members of my XBL Halo 2 Clan on my own website, would be very sweet.

bah

Only one question, will database data be there only for founders? I recently took over Newb World since the founder has been gone for 3 months, and I'm concerned the data will be open only to him when you change over. When I do make my own chapter, I'll want my databases there.

It may be a good idea to copy and paste all your data into a document, rip..Just in case they can't make that deal.

bah

Well, whatever you do Bungie, warn us at least 2 days ahead of time so we know. I'll want to back up NQC too. (If I lost that database, all hope is gone.)

Well im in the staff of some chapters(Black Halo,Savior, and more) and i do experience that only 10 to 25% of the members actually use the database, for example, Black Halo has a database which asks u to enter your combo for a new MJOLNIR Mark-VI Armor(A database which is very popular amongst chapters)but from the 237 members i have only seen not more then 20 fill that one in.

What i like to see is a database holder for Pictures.And a mass mail system for chapter founders, cause some of my members tend to become inactive...:(


I know i know alright! Besides having great internet problems, broken modems, computer crashes and the lost of a good friend of mine, i have been too darn busy!

Anyway, poll results database would be kewl, a mass mail thing is extremely handy. and as mentioned before, a place to post pictures.

one thing id like to see.. in a datatbase i have, itd be nice to be able to... instead of it saying next page or next 20, couldnt you just put them all on one page and make them smaller or put the second page in the same page in another oclumn on the same page? do you get what i mean? so instead of having : next page >> just have something that makes the current things smaller or push them to one side and fit everything on one page instead of trawling through it all.

This a little random but I would like to be able to see my new private msgs in the 7th Column.Like a warning at the top of the screen or something like that.

I feel that I'm going to lose my chapter's greatness when the update comes. I have used every database type available to make the experience good for members, and if we lose them then all will be lost. Oh well. Mu. Ha.

I can't believe I forgot about this. Remember the sticky that was up for the revitalization? It was filled with ideas from founders. There just wasn't enough member participations.

Getting to the point. The main idea we came up with was a way to put a descriptor on the chapters. Maybe there would be a way to do it besides what we came up with. It was pretty much a clique (click(whatever)) of the participating chapters forming an alliance and rating each others chapters on the topics they covered.

Some chapters covered things like vids or fan fiction or create-a-doohicky. We basically set up a database with one of the review presets and created a description of what our chapters covered. It didn't turn out too poplular. Nobody wanted to take the time to make their own descriptions. So....the plan was to get all those "involved" to rate each other and then put it up in the classifieds. Have it stickeyed there and then other chapters could add to the descriptions and so on.

Digressing.


Add something like a member rated opinion of the chapter. Members, so that way spammers can't just give every chapter a "0". Maybe the founder could have a topic description next to the rating. It could be a database so the founder or group officers could choose if it shows in the sidebar or not.

Then if they just wanted a "how cool is my chapter" poll type thing, it would be there.

Or if they wanted what we were trying to do, "how cool is my chapter's topic coverage" poll type thing, it would be there.

Too much typing. People won't read. Stopping......now.



I tried with the revitalization -- but I couldn't let it sit stickeyed - if we weren't going to get participation.

I do want to run with it -- and maybe after the Seventh Column gets the overhaul, we'll bump it back.

I can't simply keep it up top though, more's the pity -- I thought it was a good idea -- we need to work together on some aspects of this community.
