tomturd Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm trying to just tidy the place up a bit, and its fairly obvious that the forum descriptions and titles are not consistent, or descriptive. For example 'Bike Trials discussion', then later on 'bike trials' (lowercase), sometimes the descriptions end with a full stop, sometimes they end with 2. This is because I'm crap at describing stuff. Could anyone who is gifted in this area quote this post and put any suggestions forward? New Members Chat Just signed up?

Luke_zoo Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 It would be good if we had a section that told everyone not to buy stuff from so people know who are scammers I think It would make it alot easyer then having topics all the time saysing ''scammer'' May help people alot.

I can't see a naming and blaming section going down all too well to be perfectly honest >.< Scammers are usually banned, that's probably enough shame I think the area descriptions work fine, None really seem to stick out and scream "CHANGE ME" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Semi related, only trials chat, rides and locations and news is under the heading 'full members' where all the media and chit chat stuff isn't. It's kind of confusing as it implies new members can post everywhere else other than those 3 sub-forums which isn't the case. How about considering changing 'full members' to something else like 'main forum' or something better that i can't come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'll get my thinking cap on, but we could do with a new tagline for the SM Porn Subforum sometime too if anyone's feeling creative... Perhaps simply suffixing the existing line with "No Prawn, put it away" would do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah I need to tell you guys that i'm having to reduce the complimentry SM porn subscription to platinum. But tarty are increasing the SM discount to 20% so its not all bad news.

Al_Fel Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think you said "your space" too much. It seemed good to me but I'd just change every thing to say the same but without "your space". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 How To Post News Posting news is free and simple. Topics posted in here will automatically on the portal page, provided it has been approved by a moderator (see below). So how do you make a new news topic? If your already a member, go ahead and post a new topic in here. Provided its genuine, well written and worthy of the news section it will be approved by a moderator usually within a couple of hours (obviously it depends if there is a moderator online when you post the topic!). If its not worthy of the news forum, it will be moved to the appropriate place. If you are not a member, you can email news to news@trials-forum.co.uk where one of the admins will post the news up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
