Forum Suggestions!

Live chat for PMs?

For PMs? Nope. Shoutbox, maybe it's coming soon.

A section for teaching? To tell people what different key words mean, how to do different techniques. I know there is the tutorial section but this would be different. A sort of teacher/student thing. An example of a topic that would go in there is:

https://iosgods.com/topic/31980-all-about-vpn/

While I really like the idea, I don't think everyone will be participating in this new section due to many reasons. And we can't make a section for 2-3 topics.

Autohiding/removing filter for typical thx/ty/test/etc spam under the hacks. Cuz trying to find useful info like does hack actually work among 100+ pages of spam is so butthurting. We have "like" and "thanks" buttons -that's more than enough to express ur gratitude (well sometimes content stay hidden even after pressing them and we have to write something <-- reason to remove this "something").

In GFX Requests, the ability to mark a request solved, kinda like Help & Support topics.

Instead of ppl just posting "thank you'', I think it would be help if they were required to post actual feedback that's related to the topic. That way ppl don't get confused with outdated hacks.

This forum has became very annoying because helpful post and questions are being buried by "thx" and "ty" and I'm convinced that's because of the way the "Hidden Content" mechanic is.

"Hidden Content

You'll be able to see the hidden content once you reply to this topic or press the thanks button below."

What do you see first in this quote? "reply to this topic". Not many read until the end of the sentence, and the "Thanks" Button itself is easily missed.

How about hide the "reply to this topic" part or at least make it appear last? and make a pic of the "Thank" button in there.

I'm speaking from what have been done in a forum that came before iOSGods, that forum was shutted down.

This has been debated a lot on iOSGods and we do realise it's really annoying. We tried to decrease these type of posts by adding a thanks button but people still continue to post "thx" around the forum. We have also added some Posting Guidelines which appear right before you reply to a topic and we're also actively warning users for spamming "ty", "thx', etc.

We can also add a minimum character limit in order to reply, but we believe that would make the "ty" to "tytytytytytytyty" so they can pass the minimum character limit.

Upon registration you'll receive a PM from the system which includes the rules for both shoutbox and the forums, as well as some of Earthiest's Newcomer links

1) Create FAQ topic with most common and stupid questions from the help and support section (like how to uninstall hack, etc.)

2) ban @@castix (just 4 fun )

This feeling when u realize that FAQ already exists for 1 year

I suggest to set tutorials section to rights. I mean general hacking tuts should be separated from everything else. I saw some of EvillyG00d's posts are pinned but u need to search hard to find other like shmoo's and Zahir's IDA+GDB ones. So u know noob-cheaters (like me ) get confused when see all these tuts about hacking specific apps, etc.

P.S. If u have no time/feel kinda lazy remember I am always willing to help with this

@@DiDA I have one more idea, not sure if u like it but I think it's time for iOSGods to become multilingual. I mean there are a lot of people who are into hacking/modding (just players, not hackers as hacking requires this knowledge) but unfortunately they don't speak English (even don't understand it) and will never learn cuz they don't need it. So I can speak for Russians, we have really large gaming/cheating community (check this forum. It has over 4 million of members). My suggestion is to add Russian interface. Ofc I could translate (and keep translating in future) the whole thing if u accept my idea.

P.S. Tbh I thought about just making my own website with Russian interface (cuz I understand that u probably have no desire to make so many changes when iOSGods keeps growing fast without them) and just, u know, simply leech with the credits but I am a way to lazy for this and also think leeching is wrong.

@DiDA Please read through my suggestion and consider (or at least respond with your thoughts and concerns) the important and mediocre ones, because they are very much needed.

Red - Important

1.The shoutbox randomly doesn't load messages then I need to force refresh, and it pops like 15new messages(it should auto display new messages without the need to refresh(i don't know much about this maybe change the refresh interval)( if you fix/implement also maybe remove the force update).

2.Editing a message in sb should be available from the main site, redirecting to full shoutbox is not needed and for some (bad internet/pc) its a time waste thats why you can see many members just adding another line. Example:

3. There should be an option to name spoilers ex: [spoiler=Questions]

Before click:

After click:

Orange - Mediocre (but very much needed)

4.Shoutbox would be better if it showed more detailed message time.

Klepto: :keemcancer: (3(h):00(min):40(sec))

DiDA: blah blah blah (2:35:25)

Raggnar: Harambe (2:33:10)

5. Smilies in the shoutbox should be scrollable.

~~Yellow - Optional~~

~~6. Since the senior member is only 100 posts, maybe there could be a Veteran rank/member which is 200 posts and one-year member.~~

That's it from me.

@@Sneezh nice points but c'mon Veteran rank? What for? No privileges for non-ViPs, deal with it and we don't really need to assert ourselves with this ranking.

I mean I said it was optional, and what it gives you is maybe more credibility or just helps you identify who is a newbie, no extra privileges.

But then again we have badges for that.
