Forum Feedback & Abuse Reporting

New member

Capt-Crowbar — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:13:00 GMT

The newest joined member is Airsoft allies blows... If he hasn't already been banned, I think he should be. Its quite obviously not someone that will contribute to the forum, if its not NCIS getting around the system again. Just thought I should bring this up.

Boop boop boop

Spl. Durkee — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:52:48 GMT

Beep boop beep. Beep. Aside from that...ummm....I'm thinking of putting a chat thing on one of my websites, it'll be password locked (universal password) and I'll reissue a new password once a month. We all know how plagued the TASS chat got, so maybe something like this would be a good alternative...something that can easily be moderated and is by invitation only... And even if someone did get in to spam and flame, I could just send an email out to everyone with a new password so we ...

It will be missed......well...not really.
TASS will go down in history as the most abused chat ever

It's great to see Admin pull the plug on it. He shouldn't be paying for something with such little use.

AAR Section?

Jarhead999 76 65 — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 12:25:06 GMT

On another forum I'm on, we have a "AAR" section for After-Action Reports. I think it would be cool to have one here. Share your thoughts on it!

Disappearing threads?

NoNeed2Hate — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:25:09 GMT

Recently I had one of my threads disappear. This has happened before a couple time. I'm not sure whether or not it was a glitch or deleted by a mod. If it was the latter, would it be possible in the future to let people know why and if their thread is being deleted? Thank you.

new users

NoNeed2Hate — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:55:56 GMT

ok, so as of lately, i have seen too much necro posting, off topic posting, or just plain dumb posts from a lot of new forum members, i'm not going to mention names, but i would suggest any and all to refrain from necro posting, off topic posting, or making dumb posts.
if need be please read the rules again.

does anyone else see this problem? or is it just me?

just a thought...

A. sniper — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:53:36 GMT

yall know how the icon next to a specific forum is orange when there are one or more threads that have been posted on since you last looked at them? well it kinda bugs me sometimes, because often I will see an orange icon and click on it to look at some of the topics. if I don't see anything that interests me, I leave, but, if you don't click on every single topic with a new post in it, the icon next to the forum stays orange. that bugs me cause I tend to just look at that to see if anyone's ...

User complaint

Capt-Crowbar — Tue, 25 May 2010 05:30:24 GMT

MTPTL77 is Julie20099, which M14 banned earlier. Looks like there's another person going around the system.

Forum Related Question

Accordion man — Mon, 17 May 2010 23:18:02 GMT

Off Topic: Don't I always have the most interesting Titles? (joking)

I notice that even though I have set my Signature I don't see it, I can see everyone elses, but I don't see mine.

does anyone else see it or know whats going on?

The stickys

Zane — Thu, 06 May 2010 23:38:42 GMT

So all of out stickys are spread out all over the forum..and are somtimes hard to find when I want to direct someone to it, also we encourage new people to read them, yet thier all over the place.<--- And when you think it's in one it's in a completly different one! So heres my solution, a new section titled tome of knowladge or w/e and we have all the stickys in there, and everytime someone makes a amaing new post we can move it there for future reference. This makes them easy to find..and ...

"+1" Option

Insane Mercc — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:29:53 GMT

In the past Month and a Half or so Ive noticed NUMEROUS "+1"s on posts and I was wondering if we should propose adding this option or a similar one about "Cookies" or a Cookie Emote to Admin, and instead of just making a regular topic ive decided to make my First Poll(I think )

Multiple Profiles/Accounts.

slob212 — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:10:14 GMT

A bad trend has started and even tho I�m extremely busy with other things right now, More and more Members have been keeping me informed. If you are using multiple Profiles, to either Flame, Insult, Aggravate or just be a General pain in the Fourth Point of Contact, not only are you going to catch yourself a Ban, but I ( and invite the other MODS to do the same ) will ban all your other accounts for the maximum amount of time possible, inform ADMIN and request a Total all encompassing IP ban. Maybe ...

Anatomy of a Good Post. (Guide to Creating Beneficial Posts/Threads/etc.)

Spl. Durkee — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:02:33 GMT

Forums are great places to share your knowledge and get answers...to make connections, share your hobby, or just socialize! What I don�t like about forums is the insane amount of bad posts that I must wade through to get to the useful nugget. Heres a little guide to posting, threads, and what not to do. Hopefully we can all learn from it and demonstrate the knowledge in future posts/threads. Enjoy, learn, and if you have anything to add...please post below. ------- Before You ...

Photoshop area

AFU — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:46:34 GMT

You guys should add a photoshop area where forum users can request banners, patches, etc.

I frequent another forum that does this and it seems to get a couple of hits, although the response times are sometimes quite a wait, but they don't have nearly the member-base of this forum.

INteresting thing I saw...

Zane — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:28:19 GMT

I saw another interesting thing today on a forum...that would be pretty cool to use here. You know when you post it shows your avar and were you live? This other one im on has a little button that says "repuatation" It allows you to rate a users posts as good or bad, and you can add comments, this then give the person a reputation for how helpfull they are and you know who is giving you actual info and not just spewing crap. (sort of like the feedback system on ebay) I don't know ...

New Chat-Box...not good

Spl. Durkee — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 04:45:58 GMT

GAH! Seriously...this new chat box is a joke. It doesnt show when people are online...it doesnt archive conversations...it doesnt allow for link sharing.

http://www.theairsoftsniper.com/chat.html

Just a friendly word of warning,

slob212 — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:29:12 GMT

To all the members here in AA, I have been out for the past couple of weeks due to some medical things that needed looking after, so this may have already been posted but just so that we are all on the same sheet of music and that everybody is aware, Ban ability has been made available to the Mods, to what extent I am sure is based on Mod level. I am all for second chances, and hate the idea of Banning a User, but will not shy from it so please don�t misunderstand kindness for ...

Answering the Unanswered Threads

Jarhead999 76 65 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:02:31 GMT

To the Mods: if there is already a thread about this, please dump this thread in there.

I've been trying to clean out the unanswered threads as best I can, but I need some help, my friends. It can't be a one man operation.

I just hate to see unanswered threads.

"Zulu" Identification and Investigation Request

Spl. Durkee — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:56:11 GMT

Following the NCIS saga, I think I speak for everyone when I say that now more than ever it seems like we are responsible making this forum a safe place to converse and share the hobby. Recently, a member joined the forum that sparked my, and everyones, interest due to an obvious "swaying" identity. Zulu, we know you are not who you say you are and I hope you realize that by assuming the identity of another human being, you are throwing their social stability and personal safety ...

C'mon now.... be honest!

Number of Forums

Omega Lambda — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 06:34:14 GMT

I've noticed that this is a pretty slow-paced site. I think it's due mostly to the fact that there are lots of separate forums and not enough members to fill them. This site has more forums than any other site I've been a member of. Have you considered condensing some of your forums to make site navigation easier and speed up activity in each forum?

anybody else notice the title font changed?

deleting stagnant users

Jarhead999 76 65 — Sat, 23 May 2009 00:44:55 GMT

by doing this, i mean deleting users who have not logged on in over six months. i hate looking into a profile and seeing they haven't been on in a couple months.

Useless topics

sambam2011 — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:55:38 GMT

So when i have been getting on the forum lately, I have noticed abunch of useless topics, In the Rules Sticky, it straight up says that this forum is made to cut above the clutter of a normal airsoft forum... I know its not my place to worry about this but i think that itd be better for everyone on the forums if this was alil more cracked down on, Such as topics were the author writes 2 words about what hes or she is talking about leaving the topic with no purpose at all... Thanks Sambam

blocking...

JARHEAD — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:44:37 GMT

I was wondering if there is a way of blocking members from contact. For the people that just don''t get along with a certain person, not everybody. It might be a good idea.

Topic Watching.

madwolf24 — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:55:17 GMT

Moderator Capabilities.

Spl. Durkee — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 08:07:49 GMT

As a standard forum member, I would like to request information about the capabilities/powers moderators are granted. Is there a difference between the Lvl 1 and Lvl 2 moderators?

a new buy/sell/trade

Cleaning out the unanswered area

Spl. Durkee — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:43:07 GMT

I've been working to answer as many questions as I can from the list of unanswered thread area and I've dropped it from 3 pages of to 1..and most of the ones left are locked. Can we all look here: http://www.airsoftallies.com/search.forum?search_id=unanswered

And try and give these threads some posts?

Thanks!

Which Gun Questions

Roamer — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:37:22 GMT

Please, if you want a recommendation on a gun, post it in the which gun category found right off of the forums home page! I have moved 2 first thing today. Also, if you look at the topics in that thread then you might just find the answer to your question or at least be able to add to a previously established thread. Thanks

General Education: Everyone read this!

Admin — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:42:54 GMT

I posted a "sticky" under General Airsoft Discussion about this, but because stickies are often overlooked, I'm making this thread to ensure you all see it. I'm not asking you to read the entire thing, but please at least skim through it. It's directed towards "newbies," but we all can benefit from it. Even veterans - because now veterans have a place to send newbies who ask the same questions over and over again. And don't feel ashamed if you've made some of the mistakes ...

Fox13 — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 01:30:12 GMT

I think that when there not it pollutes the forum and makes it look untidy.

Still Airsoft Forum 2.0?

ard777 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:40:24 GMT

By the way, i have no idea where to put this message, so i just put it here. Hey Admin. Everything on the forum is still great! Although, staring at the site, i realized that on site partners, it still says "airsoft forum 2.0 approved partners". I'm just curious about this, since the site is now called Airsoft Allies. Thanks

Poll: Preferred Link Color (Please view)

Admin — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:02:13 GMT

Hello airsofters. I'm currently in the process of trying to fix an issue with the site that has been a long time coming! For those who haven't noticed, links like this one The Airsoft Sniper show up as though they're regular text. Normally these types of links will show up blue and underlined. It really makes it hard at times to decipher between text and links. This seems like a simple fix, but unfortunately until I purchase our domain name (in the works!!!) I don't have access ...

Unfortunate Announcement:

Admin — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:38:23 GMT

Fellow Airsofters: Many of you have recently commented on this forum and/or contacted me personally about the fear of a hacker. Posts were being edited, accounts messed with, and other weird occurrences were going on here at Airsoft Allies. I commented back saying that it most likely was NOT a hacker, but that I wasn't sure what it could be. I had a few ideas then, but wasn't sure of the exact causes of these unfortunate events. Until....now. I will not disclose anymore information ...

Site Changes

Admin — Mon, 19 May 2008 14:47:58 GMT

You all will most likely notice some site changes. For example, instead of listing all the individual states' airsoft forums on the main page, they're all now found under one single forum, which leads to all the other forums. This was done to reduce the length and time spent scrolling through all the forums found on the main page. This will especially be helpful as the site continues to grow and more and more states are added to the list. Another change made was the addition of the "Share ...

Where should I post a topic concerning goggles, flashlights, scopes, mags, and the like. I wanted to post something about me braking my hi cap mag to see if anyone could offer a solution to it, but I am not so sure where the best place to post it is.

Lets keep it organized here

Roamer — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:06:59 GMT

Its looking great so far, I just want to ask everybody to make sure to TRY to keep your comments relative to the given subject of the thread. This will save moderators a lot of time.... and will help keep the forums enjoyable and easily read. That being said let the posting begin

Title? (2)

Fox13 — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:19:39 GMT

Do you guys think bolt action deserves to be with pump and springer's. I mean sure maybe the super 9 and other bolt actions could but the Tokyo Marui VSR and the Classic Army M24 shouldn't fall under this category.

Site fluidity

Roamer — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:31:57 GMT

I just thought I would mention this again... I had a problem with name of one of our primary topics. It was spring.. just below AEG.. I was confused as to whether it would be about springers or springs...like upgrading your springs in AEGs. I know pretty stupid, but heres the point. I posted a question in theairsoftsniper.com's chat and within 18 hours or so I found a reply and that the title of the topic was changed to "Springers" I think this speaks volumes about what this ...

Quotation Colors - Please give us feedback!

Admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:03:18 GMT

Quotations are a huge part of keeping communications clear between members on online forums. The default color for quotations like the one below was a dark gray for Airsoft Forum 2.0 - very hard to read. This was not good for the forum. So recently I changed the quotation colors to a light shade of blue. Now I'm thinking that this may be too bright. What do you all think? What color would you like to see? Since this is your forum, customize it! Thanks! Example: Admin wrote:I have two ...
