Hello and welcome! Here are the answers to a few of the questions posted in our pre-event thread! Please don't duplicate the questions listed below as the answers we have given are as complete as we can make them at this time.
Quote:
Inflation has gone up 10,000 times in the past year but older games and posting gold awards have not. I was wondering if you might update gold awards for older games such as word bump, booty grab, aquarium awards and posting to better reflect the value of gold today and restore some of the spending power of those sources?
This is something we want to do. It may require we rewrite some of those older games because they were written in ancient, no longer supported code sweatdrop

Not sure what category this would best go under but....can we PLEASE have a subforum in the Minishop Forum for those "Adoptables" They're overrunning that forum and have been for some time now. These shops are more like an auction house than anything. But I don't think people would appreciate them overrunning the Art Auction forum, either. And they also do not fit the description of Breedables, either. So please please please, their own sub-forum. >.<
We'll see what we can do!

We have a services forum, it's usually full of big bumping shops and taro card shops. Anyway could it be possible to make a smaller forum for those looking to be hired by another Gaian? People looking to do odd jobs like bumping, trash collecting, offering to help as guild crew. It would really help those that are looking for a Gaian job out.
We can see about this, adding new forums is always a new venture where we have to make sure the forum we're adding is going to make sense and be used.
Probably not an ability we'll be adding for the forums.

Ignore System flaw - You still receive notifications for threads you've been blocked from.
So, recently I quit one of the group roleplays I was a member of and the people that set up the rp didn't like that I called them out on a few things. They deleted my posts and ignored/blocked me.
No skin off my back, but I seem to still be receiving notifications of the two threads (in character and out of character) when they get new posts. I originally tried to go to "My Subscribed Threads" to just unsubscribe there, but obviously the threads don't show up any more.
I tried messaging several forum assistants and site moderators about the issue to see if there was anything they could do about it. I learned that I'm not the only person to have had this problem, but that there isn't really anything that can be done.
Maybe you, Gaia, could change the system so that threads are removed from subscriptions when people are placed on ignore from either side? It seems like a silly little oversight but it gets annoying quick, always seeing notifications for something I'm ready to just forget about.
Posting my question here, since I'm not sure if it was noticed in the pre-AtS thread.
Yes, we'll add this to our bug list or raise the priority if it's already there,

Would it be possible to add subforums to the Paws forum? Something like Quest/Charities, artist stalls, roleplays and resources? The pawmunity has gotten bigger over the months and it would be nice to be some-what organized. smile
First time question, thank you!
Paws are Gaians too, and all forums are for all Gaians. As such, we'll probably not add Paw specific subforums for the Paw forum as it would get too redundant of the current forums. We wanted to add a hang out location for just Paws avatars, but there isn't really a need for things such a Paw-only charity, roleplays, etc.

Will the amount of gold earned for surfing and/or posting on Gaia ever increase? It's always just 1 or 2 gold and that's hardly enough to make a difference.
Features: (bugs & fixes) So sometimes when following certain links, such as http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.94469113_9/?_gaia_t_=4896&mygntcid=544877 the gaia-modal has set an absurd position top value, such as 5317.53px for no reason. When changing pages in a thread where there are even less and/or shorter posts than the previous page, it causes the page to scroll seemingly endlessly. Also multiple modals are added to the page (all receive the same CSS top value).
Steps to recreate: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.94469113_9/?_gaia_t_=4896&mygntcid=544877 Go to page 2 scroll and scroll and scroll Please fix your JavaScript, a simple if-statement to check if the top value is larger than the height of the post_container when the PJAX event is finished would solve it. neutral Here’s a simple pure JS solution I came up with in just a few minutes
var postContainer = document.querySelector('#post_container') var modals = document.querySelectorAll('.gaia-modal-modul') Array.prototype.forEach.call(modals, function (modal) { var modalTop = parseFloat(modal.style.top.replace('px', '')) if (modalTop > postContainer.clientHeight) { modal.style.top = ((postContainer.clientHeight / 2) - (modal.clientHeight)).toString() + 'px' } })
Of course you can use whatever calculation you want to set the height, that's just what I used for this purpose.
Indeed, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

If you would take a look at the Gaia Guild Network there are people trying to make for sale ads for guilds they don't want anymore, and people posting ads for needing guild affiliations. Now all of the guild recruiting ads are burying these threads. It's a cluttered disorganized mess. It makes it hard to find these affiliations and for sale ads, and that isn't really fair to these people.
Can you please make sub-forums in the GGN for people to post guild for sale ads and affiliation ads?

Features: Forums: More organized art shops?
In the past there was this member known as Djubre that had a really sarcastic guide written about how to set up an art shop but it was something that a lot of people in the Art Shops followed in order to make their shops more organized. Nowadays the shops layout if there is such a thing is a...cluster. Is there a way we can make a standard for art shops so that it looks more organized and slightly professional? (Maybe stick one of his old guides to the Art shops and Requests subforums in the Mini Shops forum?)
I only ask because that's been something I want to offer and I like getting avi art. I just get turned off when I see the threads are so...disorganized.
We can look into having a guide created that outlines what's a good way to host an art shop. However, even if we did this we wouldn't make it a policy that threads must abide by this standard and leave users the option to create a thread however they would like.

Many users are outraged by the recent increase in the tip amount. And, frankly, 10k is a ridiculous jump from 25g, even considering the rampant inflation. Why? Well, because most of us aren’t using tipping as a way to pay someone for their opinion– it’s a token of appreciation, a nod to someone’s post, a way to say “Great idea!” or anything similar without actually having to post such a thing in the forums (especially when it might just wind up being pointless filler). So to raise the amount from 25g (which is practically nothing no matter the era) to 10k? That’s a big deal for people.
So I was wondering: would you consider removing the tipping option entirely and replacing it with something similar to the “<3” option we already have on threads (minus the “3” option, to keep it similar and to prevent abuse)? It doesn’t even have to be a “<3.” Some users have suggested a fist bump, others a thumbs up, and others just a simple “like.” It would suit the same purpose that we’re using tips for now without the controversy of a changing amount. And, personally, I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make if “so-and-so has tipped you for post” is replaced with “so-and-so has liked you for your post” in the notices section. Either way lets you know that you’ve been appreciated. Neither detracts from being special, even for a few seconds.
Just a thought. Perhaps a crazy one, at that.
We felt that 10k was a reasonable amount that would be easy enough to earn through Daily Chance alone. However, based on some of the feedback we have seen from the community we would be happy to reconsider the amount. What would you say is an appropriate amount?

I don't personally have an issue with the new tip amount, I think it's great, but I've noticed that a lot of users were concerned about it.
How feasible would it be for you guys to give us options for the tipping amount? Such as 1k, 10k, and 100k.
Also, I think it would help if you would update the post grants and game grants before you go raising the prices of tips and shops and other features on this website. I feel like this would make more sense.
It's not overly difficult but not something we currently have planned. In regards to raising the payouts of games, recently we increased the payout of Booty Grab by 500x. In one game it's fairly easy to get 50,000 gold, you would only need to collect 100g in a single game. Over time we will also be updating the payouts to other games and of course forum posting/surfing.

Okay, I have a question since it has been bugging me for a while now. Is there any way to make it so that you can actually see the size of the images/gifs that you are going to use in a signature? I mean, I have been flagged twice for it and I had no idea that I had a large image size until then, and couldn't figure out a way for me to tell how big the file size was until I literally had to go to another site and use the same image to find out. It wasn't like the images were offensive or anything, just the image sizes were too big. I think this would help to cut down on the number of people having large gif/image sizes if we could actually see that they are too big or if a warning popped up when we were previewing the signature in question.
You can check the size of an image by right-clicking on an image and clicking "View Image Info" or "Properties" (depending on your browser). This will tell you how large the file size is and what the dimensions are.

It would be cool if Gaia changed the tipping option and made it possible for users to tip however much or little they wanted. That way the person getting tipped would know how much the tipper liked their post.
I'm on the fence about whether or not a minimum or maximum tip cut off should be set, but that could be a possibility if there needed to be limits.

Features - Forums
Concerning the sudden appearance of the NPCs Rina and Rordon Gamsey: once I'd read a few different threads I realized these were bots, but at first I thought these were staffers replying using NPCs! Several threads in Site Feedback have discussed the bots not only being spammy, but even rude and downright offensive depending on what gets replied to. Since using NPC bots for a confusing and empty attempt at interaction advertising a LQI was questionable at best, how will Gaia make changes to this in the future to avoid misunderstandings and potentially offensive situations? I think bots should be confined to GCD, CB, and appropriate event forums, personally.
Here's an example of NPC posting being totally inappropriate - this was concerning the hostage situation in Sydney where a user was trying to help a roommate find out if a family member was involved. The NPC responded because of a trigger word (it's pretty obvious what word it was). This continued several times in the thread including replies to discussion of causalities. I understand it's virtually impossible to know how every quote-and-reply pairing will end up looking but that's exactly why botting an NPC across the entire forums is a poor idea.
Some more examples that are far less problematic but I think still worth providing under the cut:
Here's another inappropriate example. Although users in that thread didn't have an issue because the reply came off like a random misfire, several users have expressed they feel this sort of randomness doesn't belong in sensitive topics at In The News.
Here's an example of the bot coming off as snarky - I interpreted the response as a way of calling the original poster's complaint a "flame" concerning whitelisting ads (I still thought it was a person behind the NPC, not a bot). Way less important than the first example but if people think actual staffers are being cheeky it comes off unprofessional.
I know we can report NPC posts for being spam as I've successfully done so, but users should not be expected to police NPCs this way.
Thank you for letting us know about our naughty NPCs. We have been tracking them and trying to limit them to specific forums, however it doesn't keep them from occasionally posting somewhere a bit awkward. We're working on ways to keep them a bit more reigned in for future events.
The Ignore System I feel like it could use some adjustments.
In forums: 1)Blocked Topics- Do we really need to see that one of the topics is not showing because myself or them blocked the other? Oh ,and by the way, in subscriptions if a user has blocked you from their thread not only do we have to see the the blocked topic notice but we can't remove it from subscriptions. Who wants to see that? Subscriptions are suppose to be enjoyable. 2) I don't like seeing the person on my ignore list showing up if they are the last person to post in a topic.
These are just some suggestions I hope you'll consider ^.^
Thanks, some of these look like things that slipped through the cracks or just weren't properly supported to begin with.

Dealing with an issue that I have been noticing for awhile in the Religion and Morality forum.
I get that this is the place where everyone comes together to discuss religions, beliefs, whatever... However people can not make any threads without having someone from a different religion come in and try to convert everyone. These converting posts create an uneasy and somewhat hostile environment for other people. It is also almost impossible to make a thread trying to see if there are other out there with the same or similar beliefs as yourself without having someone come in and telling you that you're wrong, or whoever/whatever you believe in doesn't exist. And posts like that also turn things into an uneasy and hostile environment. Negative posts like that are a big turn off to other people, a lot of people wont bother making threads or post in there because people can be very insensitive and rude.
If people specify that they are looking for like-minded people in the first post then they shouldn't have to have the fear of facing other people from different religions constantly trying to challenge what they believe. If anything people trying to convert others when it's clear that they aren't interested in it and people coming in and ruining a peaceful discussion among like minded people by telling them that they are wrong, hypocrites, or what they believe in doesn't exist it comes off as a form of bullying.
I'm not asking for you to ban people from posting in religion threads that are different from what they believe, I actually like asking questions and learning about other religions but I feel that there should be some rules to prevent others from trying to convert people when it isn't wanted, and rules to prevent others from challenging other peoples beliefs when it's stated in the first post that they aren't wanting to make a debate over things, just a peaceful discussion with like-minded people.
Could you please look over this forum and possibly revise the rules to make it more peaceful? Right now there is a lot of bickering and rudeness going on, it's pretty sad to see.

Features (Random Number Generator) (I think this counts as a feature; my apologies if it's not!)
Recently, my friends had cause to use Gaia's RNG to roll for a raffle, which is a common enough occurrence, especially in the BC forums. However, there were so many tickets that Gaia's RNG couldn't handle them - it caps at 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) and gives an error if you try to put a higher number there. Needless to say, as the number of tickets exceeded the RNG's capabilities, it took some time to figure out an alternative and rolling was delayed quite a bit, and the whole thing was just one big headache for everyone involved.
TL;DR Would it be possible to increase the cap for Gaia's RNG to something higher than 1 billion?
Question: Are there any updates on whether or not we can get a forum for art raffles?
Not at this time! We actually have a lot of ideas for forums in 2015 that we're going to be spec'ing out, so keep an eye out for that!

Can we please see more and/or better moderation in the GCD? Especially considering how much of a resource this forum is becoming - i.e. being used for ask the staff and etc.
Daily about half the topics in the GCD are spam or misplaced, and we're seeing a huge influx of off-site advertising threads as well. The only ones that are ever taken care of are the off-site advertising threads, despite people reporting the spam and misplaced threads repeatedly.
It sounds like GCD could probably stand to have more Forum Assistants rather than moderators, as FAs stand to be more proactive about removing the spam and misplaced threads, whereas moderators would be more focused on removing the actual TOS violations that hit GCD such as off-site advertising.

Hello, Could we have a customization color box when posting?
Please bare with me because I need to explain my question. There are over 16 million color possibilities with the text coloring. However we only have 13 spots in the bar. a row of 12, then white on a second row.
Now I would never suggest or ask for all 16 million colors be up there but I know everyone has their own favorite colors, so I was wondering if it would be possible to make the color selection have 11 blank colors that could be altered per person in settings. So instead of constantly having to type out ['color=goldenrod]"message"['/color] they could have a button in color that places ['color=goldenrod]['/color] around "message"
It may not be necessary, and it wouldn't kill us if we didn't have it, but it would be a nice quality of life update for people who don't use the 12 other colors we are all presented with.
We can keep this in mind in any future updates to the editor.

I've brought it up plenty of times before but the Monster Galaxy fourm is being overrun with bot spam. The whole first page is covered with it. It's been reported, but none of the spam threads have been taken down. Why don't you maintain this fourm?

We actually have some plans for this forum this year, so keep an eye out!

The zOMG Bugs forum is still up, but you got rid of the game ages ago. Shouldn't the zOMG! forums be taken down too?

Would you consider increasing the number of characters allowed in our signatures? I'd like to be able to display banners for all my BG guilds I am in, and even with tinyurl it's not possible.

Sadly no, the limit is in place to help keep forum loading to a minimum. To get an idea of just how much signatures affect forum loading, try forums lite from Gaia Labs...the difference is like a car vs the Millennium Falcon ... or the Starship Enterprise.

I have been voting in polls and the most gold that I have earned from one is 100 gold. Can you increase the gold earned from polling? The current earnings do not match the current state of the economy at all.

Can we get the ability to @ tag people in the forums?
Possibly, I'll pass this along to the team to take a look.
