Suggestions/Ideas Thread
 

Post here anything what you consider to improve GFY.
I will add commentary by editing this post.
Switching to Xenforo is already in process.
1.Should be done when switching to xenforo
2.Should be done when switching to xenforo
3.Possible
4.Should be done when switching to xenforo
5.That already exist since beginning
6.Depend does such mod exist for xenforo
7.Like this idea
8.Wot?
1. Sig is topic which can be approached by many different ways. But big size banners is bad idea because it can disrupt reading experience.
2.I was thinking about this, in form of sticky thread and mail newsletter, but on weekly or bi-weekly bases in order to avoid saturation effect.

Xenforo :thumbsup

-Remove search time limit.
-Lessen post waiting time to 5 seconds
-Perma ban Bladewire
-improve mobile version
-limit to one nick per unique person
-have post like/dislike ... most dislikes post will go down the thread
-add VIP exclusive section for paid GFY members
-run contest once in a while
:2 cents:

Allow EVERYONE to run FULL SIZE sig banners
Mods should have a DAILY STICKY policy where the MOST USEFUL or INTERESTING thread is stickied

Too bad there's no like button, I would have THUMBSUP'D this suggestion

XENFORO for the win

Add @ mention functionality paired w/ email notifications + borrow Facebook's global on-site notification function with a counter badge on it (replace globe/bell icon with a middle finger GFY icon for kicks) and watch engagement skyrocket

You should do like the french adult forum bizpowa.com.

Put a clickable icon at the left of each thread, defining it. "Adult", "Mainstream", "SEO" "Legal" etc...

When you click on this icon, you only get listed threads from this subjects.

You should also put Mainstream subforum into "Fucking Around and Program Discussion".

Implement a thumbs up/down voting system

Since Paxum suck with communicating errors or problems and ”only” come on here to toot their horn about good news, there should be a way to gather or sort out Paxum/payment related threads. Especially helpful for those who does not frequent the forum every single hour of the day.

A thumbs up or ”agree” function would also be good! Now there is NO type of ”reputation” here other than numbers of post and potentially join date. But some members who joined last year, might have good things to say and should get credit. Now it is too hard to distinguish between good or bad posters and spot ”the village fool”.

Sort the search out please. I've been having to use google to find stuff that I absolutely remember from only a few weeks ago, which according to the GFY search, completely does not exist... And it's still hit and miss with google...

"verified member badge" - 1 minute Skype video call with a mod would be enough, have member hold up his ID, save screenshot of the face only in case of any issues later.

then make verified member subforum only

Id be totally up for that

What has brought about this sudden clean up of GFY? It's great.

New owners? GFY was sold recently :)

Me Too ! Plus I'd just send a dirty picture instead ! "Send Nudes" lol

I have run Xenforo since its inception.

Such a mod does indeed exist. You can set it to "soft" delete a thread set by a negative threshold.

show “subscribed” icon in mobile.

add a visited link color in mobile.

make the mobile reply box more like the desktop one,
or at least add buttons for the img/youtube/url wrappers.

fix youtube embeds in mobile to prevent the side scrolling.

show images inline in mobile.

I frowned upon that . . .

IMO, one of the best features of Xenforo is the ignore feature.

There is also a mod that allows you to force 2 posters to ignore each other. Comes in handy at times.

Some really awesome ideas! Keep them coming :)

Few were already on the pipeline but many are very interesting!

More feedback please.

BTW.. IMO the best xenforo designer are the guys over at https://pixelexit.com/

Russ is reasonably priced, fast, and probably could replicate this board almost identically.

Nice design work, thanks Boozer!

test a freebie section? like ex. 5 logos free,small scripts not sure it will work.

- Sponsor Issues section
- Total separation of Business and Non-Business section
- Reputation system for members (based on reputation given by other members)

Also got messages for a cars section and one for payments issues.

We are currently looking to make new sections for:

A) Cam business

B) Ad Tech(seo/sem/media buying/ad networks etc)

I like the idea of a rating and likes addition.

That's a great idea. The cam/clip creator side is such a giant part of this industry.

I think PornMySex suggestion might be good for this no?

Instead of splitting different Adult Business subtopics in different sections, add the appropriate labels to each. (And moderators should actively add labels too in case some threads get mislabeled.)
Let users click the Labels to filter the threads.

I think what you just did by merging different sections helps activity. Too many small sections will just make some of them deserted.

But if the Cam section is intended for cam performers rather than affiliates/programs, that's quite different then and needs a separate section IMO.

I agree, labels make sense. Cam section will be indeed more for performers.

Well I guess I'm gonna be on here talking to myself a lot then :thumbsup

I do a lot of business over PMs and am constantly cleaning those out because of the extremely low limit available. I don't know how XF operates, but until the transition, if you guys could increase that limit it would be very helpful. This is a business board after all, we should be able to send each other messages fairly easily.

This is a great idea.

Good idea for sure, maybe we should do that for all new members...

It's a GREAT feature. Consider it the greasemonkey script on steroids.

It makes it so the user essentially doesnt exist, even when quoted.

Xenforo is probably the absolute best forum software ever. And im a hardcore phpbb advocate saying this. Yall wont be sorry.

Yeah, I'm sure it's great for those who want it. I'm just not sure that I personally agree with it tbh...

I personally dont ignore anyone. I would feel that I was in a vacuum if EVERYONE I did not agree with 'disappeared' completely...

Remember that South Park episode, where Cartman gets 'fat shamed' and they decide to moderate his twitter account for him, so he only hears positive things? Its kinda like that to me...

That said though, if people want to 'dilute' the entire GFY experience, and turn it into their own personal little safespace, where everyone agrees with and thinks the same way as them, then that's fine - It's their business and their choice... But it's certainly not something I would use personally myself :)

EDITED TO ADD VIDEO

1. You have some perennial doxxers who keep coming back - ban them quicker. give soft mod to someone so that it doesn't take 5 days and 1000 threads for a madman spammer/doxxer to be banned.

2. Soft ban please for unverified serious accusations (the so called "proof or ban"). This discourages false character insults or business accusations, which otherwise remain on the internet forever

People won't do business if some shit for brains will dox them and post all their personal information on an adult site, or lob false accusations.

Me personally, I find your post quite offensive.

You give a well thought out answer and not even a sniff of a poo reference.

I USED to like poo.

Possbily add a barter section where people can trade services. For example, I have a ton of content, could trade for hosting for a year, things like that.

Bad idea!.
Both of these were abused in the past by someone, who is thankfully, on summer vacation. 'He' would change the thread title after being called out. Or, 'he' would stay logged in so 'he' could come along and add that stupid shit about being right again when someone would post a rebuttal or call 'him' out.

Sorry dude, this is a bad idea and it has been abused in the past.


I would suggest that you get auto logged out after 'xx' minutes though. There is no reason someone should be logged in for hours a day. To quote The Psychedelic Furs, "there's a world outside".

'He' lmao...

For as long as you can edit the thread, you can also edit the title...

Just click edit post, then select the little box that says 'advanced options; and the thread title is available to edit along with the text of the post...

Can't agree with the auto logout though... I mean my mac stays on 24 / 7 regardless of if Im sat at it or out and about. GFY is in one of my tabs. Why log me out?

I agree, auto logout is a bad idea.

I would suggest making it an all around cam/clip/industry model forum, tons and tons of models won't go near the cam sites these days due to the fact that they are full of disrespectful idiots... there has been a huge shift too in the way content is delivered these days and the sites like manyvids/adultcentro/onlyfans is where all the good content is...

I would also make a separate or sub-forum that is semi-private, a place for the models to congregate and interact with legit webmasters/affiliates/promoters without dealing with tons and tons of lewd and crude BS... make it a badge of honor on GFY to be allowed in there to interact with the models and ban everybody for life from it if they act like idiots in there... there has been a huge push of government forced censorship on the social media sites and girls are going out of biz and losing all their revenue sources... they are also scared to open their own instagrams due to the disresepct that is rampant right now...

basically they need their own forum where they are all treated like a human being and not a piece of meat...

thanks for the input Mikey, noted. Feel free to add me on skype if you like to talk further on this.

I like this, or at least what some private CPA networks do with business references, etc. I only say that because there's a few who prefer anonymity that browse here often, but would never do the video call thing... while owning some of the biggest traffic networks in adult.

Nobody wants to talk about real business ideas / strategies with a bunch of beer money (if that) trolls around. :2 cents:

I second that motion. Barter and also JOINT VENTURE

Yeah, my fitbit does this now and it's a pain in the ass.

I used to just refresh the page I was in, and get updated details. Now, say if I wanna enter my weight, after the first poo of the day, I click weight, but get to a login screen instead...

My login details are stored, so I don't have to type them, but I do have to click login. This takes me to the main dashboard, then I select weight again. Then I get where I wanted to be to begin with....

Thats a big enough delay to be a pain in the ass once a day. Heaven help the user experience on gfy if you wanna read / reply to a thread, click it and get to the login, which then takes you to the main page, from where you need to find the threads again, and then open it, and then.... Nahhh...

No Auto Logout please...

I agree. I like this idea of a VIP subforum. But it might be better to connect it to the upcoming reputation system than requiring IDs from people.
