How would you make FerrariChat.com better?

In some cases, we can verify geographical location right down to which house or building you're posting from, and at the very least we usually know which street you're on. However, we only look into it if there's a problem and we suspect multiple usernames. That tool is used to catch out the new accounts of returning permabanned users and spammers.

Many people do like their privacy though, so I'm not sure it would be popular to require people to state a location, even if it is as nonspecific as only making a country listing mandatory. Aside from manually checking the location of each specific user, I don't think we could verify the country everyone lists for themselves is correct. So rather than no location information, you might get lots of wrong location information. When it's left as voluntary, I think those who complete it tend to do so honestly.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Get rid of the Trolls... as soon as you post there is always some poor soul trying to troll posts, even in the Subscriber forums. It never ceases to amaze...

 

When starting a new thread make it possible to edit the heading to correct spelling etc. As of now you can edit the body copy but not the heading and must get a Mod to correct it.

 

Rob, tried the advanced edit and it doesn't seem to work on the MAIN heading only the secondary head. Haven't tried the drop down thread tools...is there an area for this?, ,didn't see it listed in the drop down.

 

Get rid of thread pages, ie. a thread is just a very long scrolling view.

I say this because if you make a post that just happens to the last one on a page and then another person makes a post you can pretty much guarantee that nobody will read your post which can be annoying.

If a single long page no posts would be missed.

Shark Week.

 

Yes I can see that would be a problem.

Could the display view of each page include the first and last post from the previous and next page, where appropriate. This would make maintaining the discussion context easier.

I don't see how that solves my issue, but I'm demo'ing it now.

Would it be possible to add sub forums by model to the lamborghinichat section?

 

Getting all those who have a Ferrari let the ones who don't drive them.

Prego.

 

Ah, just clicked

Goodness . . . how had you been doing it until now?

Better search engine.

 

That is probably the most needed improvement.

 

I find dressing up like The Big King wearing a Jason Hockey Mask while doing The Macarena immediately before conducting a search really seems to please the Advanced Search Deities.

Heeeeeeeeey Macarena!
