Hi
I have two suggestions that can improve the user experience and moderation of ASPPLAYGROUND.
1. REASON FOR EDIT/DELETION
Please add the ability to send users a reason by email to tell them why their message was deleted. We use this feature on a custom forum on our site and it is very useful.
This can take the form of an editable pop-up list: We use:
Impolite to other user
off-topic
Offensive/Vulgar
Racist
Sexist
ALL CAPS
Commercial
Int he case of an edit the the reason appear under the message.
<edited by Admin at (time)>
<reason: Please watch your mouth>
2. RATINGS
The current rating system is too basic so we have a lot of D' s and A+' s. It would be better if readers could rate the content like Slashdot.org ie assign a value from one to five AND a tag such a:
Informative
Thoughtful
Funny
Insightful
informative
Boring
Old
New
Troll
Then the post/thread could have a ranking at the top
------------------------------------------------
Insightful: 20 pts Funny: 3 pts Troll: 1 pt
------------------------------------------------
Let me know what you think
