This thread isn't to discuss these ideas, most of them have their own recent threads, so search for those. I just thought it would be appropriate to make a comprehensive list of all the popular/most requested ideas for the users and staff to see.
Achievements:
- Rewarded for completing certain things in flash games - example: complete Exit Path single player, 5 points - Kongregate style: Easy, medium, hard, with points increasing with each difficulty - Unlock game based armatars - there were some in the beta, but we didn't have to unlock them
Armor points:
- Armor points coming for achievements and game ratings, or solely for achievements - Reputation not tied with armor points, reputation is for community participation - Game ratings changed to 1 point instead of 2 and a limit on how many you can rate
Live chat:
- Chats located on its own page - Chat mods - Public and private chat option located on same chat window; you'll be able to talk in public with others and click on someone's name to private chat - Mute/ignore option
Reputation:
- Up/down vote system similar to sites like YouTube and Imgur - Only up vote along with advanced flagging - If merits are kept, when a comment receives a certain amount of reputation it alerts a moderator
Forum features:
- Edit post and thread title option unless thread is locked - Preview post and thread - Signatures - Subscribe to threads; alerted to new posts in threads you've subscribed to - Search bar able to search for threads, edit criteria so it only searches for threads - Mods can see flagged posts
Armatars:
- New armatars, game based, etc - Custom armatars; able to upload your own pictures - has been declined for now but still a popular idea - Access to old seasonal/holiday armatars, possibly at by reaching certain amounts of armor points
Groups/clans:
- Forum for clans - Hierarchy system: Someone creates a clan and they appoint the positions - Clan search system; sort by popular, hot, new, etc - Able to request to join clans
Other popular ideas:
- Able to change username: Option available every three or so months and old username(s) are displayed on your profile, you can change back to your old username within a month of changing it, but after that it's up for grabs by others
- Private messages, was in the beta - Mutual friending, like Facebook, was in the beta - Follow option; in the beta we could send friend requests or follow the user, we would be alerted to what they did - most useful to keep track of developers - Mute/ignore users, when you mute/ignore a user you don't see their messages anywhere, not able to mute/ignore mods or admins
- Flag user on profiles - Show friends online/offline when you go to the friends section in the control panel - Able to comment on comments: Similar to Facebook, where you post something and others can comment on/about it; only on profiles - Other site layouts, we had a few options for this in the beta - Translate ArmorGames into other languages, was in the beta
- More medieval ranks; twolinks. - Random games; there used to be a random games button, removed for some reason - Able to change ratings on games, was in the beta - Sorting game comments; popular, new, etc - Notified when someone sends you a message, was in the beta
- Able to search for usernames in the search bar, was in the beta - Able to click on forum posts, comments, merits, and game ratings on profiles to see a list of them
