Wittmeister's Feature List

[Eðo Grischun]

The Registration Agreement has been updated and it's likely that more changes will happen "soon" as we adjust to using New Witt as the only Witt, particularly quality of life changes and other changes related to the implementation of Wittiquette.

In unrelated news, we've had a lot of spam accounts registering lately, which is a bit of a nuisance but not much of a real issue because 1) they're easy to mass delete; 2) they can do nothing unless assigned to a group by an admin or Immigration. Because of this, though, we have now switched to reCAPTCHA for verification instead of SMF's Visual Verification Image.

Finally, this post (and the Welcome one, which will also be locked) will be moved to the Webspace board soon, with a FAQ post being worked on. As always, continue using this post for feedback, criticism and help.

Please don't mass delete all those accounts just yet.  2 of them are real accounts that are pending.  I have 2 incoming applicants that I am struggling to verify identity with, so those accounts should remain for the time being until I can make a decision one way or the other.

[Eðo Grischun]

Ah, too late.

I see you've mass deleted the recent flurry of spam accounts already.  One of the two "real" accounts has been kept, but one has gotten lost in the mass delete.  Is that account retrievable or does the applicant need to re-register once I can verify his identity?

[Sir Lüc]

It's not retrievable I'm afraid, I'm sorry. At least with reCaptcha we won't have this problem in the future.

No worries.  If the applicant replies to my last communication and helps me verify who he is then I can just have him register again.

Is it possible to make polls?

Some of the Witt globes are still "turned on" even when there are no unread messages.

[Sir Lüc]

I am aware of this and I don't really know how to fix it. Visiting the subboard again seems to correct the issue.

[Sir Lüc]

The appearance of forum roles and personal titles (the two thingies under your username) have been tweaked.

Additionally, I have added a "Talossan Since" profile field. I may do a round of copying dates from OldWitt this weekend, but in any case everyone is welcome to fill in their own.

I'm thinking about also adding a "full name" field, so people can still display their Talossan name AND retain perhaps a nickname for their actual display name.

I think I'd like that.  So, I could have Éovart Grishun displayed as my Talossan name and have a field under it displaying Eðo ?

Good job, thank you as usual.

No problem. Good to see you back.

[Sir Lüc]

Efforts to curb spam memberships continue. A week ago, a stricter reCAPTCHA setting was imposed, though this weekend saw more spam accounts being created after a brief hiatus.

We have now switched to a secret key verification method; the key will be supplied by Immigration officials to prospective citizens, and current citizens without an account have been provided with an email address they can use to get a valid key.

Thanks.  I'll check in again next month, and I'm sure you'll have done something excellent in the meantime :)  You're doing very good work with this forum.

Unless you're a mod or greater, personal titles isn't something you can set.

I am not sure what you are referring to. Do you want to be able to set your personal title? The current system is the way it used to be on ProBoards as well.

Or were you directly referring to my comment - in which case, who can set personal titles doesn't really have anything to do with my tweak?

[Sevastáin Pinátsch]

Do you want to be able to set your personal title?

Yes.

The current system is the way it used to be on ProBoards as well.

But seeing as we run the software, does that need to remain the case? If we're trusted enough to be in the Senats or the Cosa, it seems like letting us edit our own title isn't a huge risk.

Yep.  Especially since any abuse of the system (fake titles and the like) could just be reversed by an admin.

I was mentioned in a thread I'm not able to see but got the email to notify me anyway. I don't know if it's something I'd change because I found it funny but it might no be ideal for that to happen.
