MGSF Development Blog

Here’s a quick mind-dump of things I’d like to do:

• Auto repeat IP detection on registration
• Better spam control – to the point of not having to manually validate new members
• Better tracking of tasks – quickly access recent moderation activity
• Find all posts by member (sorely lacking in IF)
• New report system – clicking report adds an item to a queue that staff can see. When the staff have dealt with it, they check it as completed. This way we have a log and we know everyone will get the reports.
• Move most moderation tasks to inline functions – moderators with power in the current page will see the corresponding links. I want to try to get rid of the Admin Control Panel altogether and simply have an extended pane on every screen for admins.
• Keep BBCode support.
• Mark posts as “quality” – members with, say, 25 quality posts will be considered for the title of quality poster, which will give them a few perquisites. No idea what they could be, though. Perhaps just a warm, fuzzy feeling.
• Better polls. The ones right now let you vote for every option unless you go with the first choice. I’d like to amend that
