Official Suggestion thread - help make EpicNPC a better marketplace

[EpicNPC]

If you have a suggestion on a feature you'd like to see added to the forums please make it below. I will then reply to it and if it's a good one it will be added to the to-do list.

 

[EpicNPC]

Suggestion:
How about achievement system like when you get 10 trade feedback you get achievement and will be rewarded some credits
or number of days active, post count, being helpful, and bunch more.

This has been discussed before, but as Red stated it's never been added because it doesn't really fit the forum. Almost everyone here is here to buy, sell or trade game accounts and items, so I'm not sure how much people would care about forum achievements. If there's more interest in something like this, I'll reconsider it.

Red I'm not sure what you mean by "TS".

 

[EpicNPC]

There's another BB code where instead of post count it uses usergroups, but I didn't turn it on because it's a bit too restrictive for me. Anyone else interested in usergroup option instead of post count?

 

[AccountsP]

What do you guys think about an EpicNPC Teamspeak server?

 

[doomedtofail]

My only issue with that is how awful chat box was. I liked it, but most of the time it was horrible with spam and arguing, awful language, not that I don't curse my butt off or anything.

 

[EpicNPC]

If someone wants to run an unofficial Teamspeak server they can, but I won't be setting one up.

 

[VowOFSilence]

I would like something that when you press the "bump" button a custom message that you have applied for it will be written (E.G)

I press bump and it doesn't just say bump, but instead "Bump, contact me selling etc. etc."

 

[EpicZorro]

+100 for the Official Suggestion thread!

 

[JasonTran]

Also +1 for VowOfSilence's idea.

 

[EpicNPC]

I like the idea, but it'll require custom work. I'll add it to the list.

 

[EpicNPC]

I'd like to keep the whole site uniform instead of profile pages all looking different.

 

[Zoefken]

I just have two idees:

1. On top of the forums give every user there topics / forums / subforums they are most active in
2. Topic background colors

 

[EpicNPC]

I just have two idees:

1. On top of the forums give every user there topics / forums / subforums they are most active in
2. Topic background colors

1) Do you want a link to your Activity Stream or something else? Is there another site that does what your asking for cause I'm not sure I understand
2) Do you mean thread background color in a forum category? I'm not a coder so I don't know if something like this is possible. Somethings in VBulletine are coded very weird and can't be changed. I'd have to find out about this. If it was added, it would be a Store item only.

 

[Zoefken]

What i mean is on the top of the website (so when you come to epicnpc.com) you get your most active places (post - subforums -...) as the first once in the list. For example i am most active in graphics, now as you know that is ALLLLLLL the way down. Not that i mind scrolling 10 times to get there but it would be easyer if it was on top for me.

For the color i don't exactly now how it should be done but it should be as simple as changing a username color or a topic title color. In general it is a small css code i believe.

 

[Artemys]

1. On top of the forums give every user there topics / forums / subforums they are most active in

Do you mean an individual user's most active forums or epicnpc's most active forums?

 

[Zoefken]

individual

 

[Zoefken]

Now that i think about it your right raven. It would be better if supermods - mods - admins could change the color to focus attention to it.

 

[EpicNPC]

I like both suggestions so I'll be adding it to the to-do list.

 

[EpicNPC]

Auction count-down timer has been added today
http://www.epicnpc.com/threads/610639-Auction-Count-Down-Timer-added

 

[MaccaC]

As someone who has just signed up I'm not sure if there is a thread of an explanation anywhere but I've been looking for ten minutes and can't find a index or glossary of what the tags means at the beginning of every post WTS and WTB etc

 

[Sakura]

Want To Sell / Want To Buy

 

[leanardo]

I would like something that when you press the "bump" button a custom message that you have applied for it will be written (E.G)

I press bump and it doesn't just say bump, but instead "Bump, contact me selling etc. etc."

Is there a bump button? I never seen one other then reply to thread, it would be nice to have a button that you pressed and it would take your current thing your selling/buying to the top.


-------------------------------
On a different note is there way way you can add a comment to the report post button? I continuously looking threw forums and sometimes come across something that needs reported but is not a major violation or a thread that is in the wrong section.

 

[EpicNPC]

At the top of your threads there is a Bump button already.

Next bump: Now - Click to bump

 

[leanardo]

it was not showing on mine, it never has been a bump button, but I changed the view to hybrid and it added it. I changed it back to the original settings know is it there.

 

[EpicNPC]

i dont have suggestion, but its somehow hacked paypal is now the trend to trade upon forums.
and people are just creating new account to scam people via paypal.
maybe some tools for some security check before dealing.

We already have a lot of security features available.

• Member upgrades (Paypal, ID and phone verification)
• Location Info button on posts so you can see where the poster is from and if they're using a proxy
• Feedback/Reputation system
• Ban list

Of course always use Google to check any usernames and emails to see what you can find.

If you have any suggestions on security features we don't have, feel free to suggest it.

 

[EpicNPC]

Im not a fan of private forums were only registered members can view them. The majority of our traffic come from users just browsing around then decided to register if they find something they like. Make it restricted where only members can view posts imo would have a major negative effect on the site, so it's not something I would consider.

 

[EpicNPC]

That forum was only added a few weeks ago. I just moved some old posts into it. If there's no activity in there within another month or two I'll remove it then.

 

[Skadge]

*"Bought" prefix

*Auto-closing threads

Yea, my suggestions here

 

[EpicNPC]

That option will be added in the future.

 

[Skadge]

What about guide threads for all the games? I have met a lot of buyers who are newbies in game and just want "cool account" but they have false information about "cool account". I can help with guide thread for SW:TOR.

- - - Updated - - -

And next suggestion will be: what you're think about adding the formula for calculating the price?

 

[EpicNPC]

A price calculator is extremely difficult to do because it's hard to put a price on an item or account. Patches constantly would change the formula and every game would be different, it would be a huge undertaking to even make 2-3 working calculators and keep them updated.

For the guides, do you mean guides on how to buy or sell accounts? Im not sure I understand your example.

 

[Skadge]

I mean guide where we can explain the most necessary things of account. For example, what gear is PVP and PVE in SW:TOR, which gear on level 55 is better, what better: 1 geared character or 2 max level character, etc.

 

[EpicNPC]

each game used to have a general chat forum, but no one used them so they were removed this week. You can post guides like that here
http://www.epicnpc.com/forums/51-Gaming-Discussion

 

[Skadge]

there are a lot of threads... and ppl will not see it, without sense making guide there

 

[Skadge]

What about adding user finder?

 

[EpicNPC]

What about adding user finder?

Please explain. Find EpicNPC members?

 

[Skadge]

Yea, i can but will be better if Mike will add member finder to site.

 

[EpicNPC]

You can just use the normal search box to search members username

 

[SleepingForest]

i think it better to relocate the location of the official forum rule thread to a more obvious place or even start up a tab for it on the top bar above.

i think that is very important

many new member could not find it and are breaking the rule every now and then, thus getting themself temp ban unknowingly.

even some of the old member do not know that the thread actually exist.

 

[EpicNPC]

The forum rules are already in the top navigation bar, just under "Middleman Service"

 

[SleepingForest]

hah i did not see it. may be it not obvious.

 

[SleepingForest]

another suggestion i wanted to make is to add more requirement for people who want to become an offical middleman for epicnpc. for example, they have to be an epicnpc member for at least a yr.

this could prevent shady seller who have achieve 50 rep in a short while by selling cheap stuff like dota or cs go key(1- 2usd each) or other thing.

they apply to be a middleman and abuse the status to scam an expensive item or large amount of money(thousand of dollar) from new member

it just my opinion.

 

[EpicNPC]

That's a good suggestion, I'll consider it.

 

[The Integrity]

Add an option to put any amount of days for the auction timer, and not just the predetermined values. Or at least add 2/4/5/6 in the existing drop down list.

 

[EpicNPC]

more options have been added

 

[SleepingForest]

hi,

is it possible to implement/add the "location info" button on the privating messaging inbox too?

sometime, i receive pm from new member who have not created or post in any thread before and i can't find their location info when i try to check whether they are using a vpn or not

 

[EpicNPC]

That's a good idea. I'll add it to the list.

 

[SleepingForest]

hi epicnpc

i try to edit some of my attached thumbnail just now and discover that the live chat minimized panel is actually block some part of the button in the editing screen.

i am unable see the name of the button which it is actually blocking.

it is possbile that we have the option to remove or shift the minimize panel?

 

[EpicNPC]

I moved it over so it doesn't block the buttons

 

[NET.]

The message when you log in is pretty annoying - the one that tells you to register and why - even when I'm logged in it displays this - is there a chance you can make it only display for guests?
