Friend lists (CSDb as a Social Networking site...eeek!)
The scene was always friendshipbased, right?
So wouldn't it be a nice idea to add some kind of friend list in your profile?
Not only to jump on the social networking bandwagon but also to shield off some (personal) data you only wish to share with good scene-friends like phonenumbers, IM info and addresses.
Just a sunday afternoon brainwave. |

Quote: there is nothing bad about additional information really - what makes those tags bad on pretty much every web 2.0 site there is is that every dumbnut can create them and use them as they feel like. yes that could be solved by a lot of moderation, maybe. i'd still rather see the existing stuff improved (and there is a long todo list already) and more importantly, see people use the existing stuff properly.
and honest, if we'd start with "moderated" tags - as in predefined ones - we'd have an instant (and eternal) flamefest on how certain tags are missing, others are stupid, and others shouldnt be used like they are used.
I guess the moderators are for the users, and not vice versa. |

Quote:I guess the moderators are for the users, and not vice versa.
the only reason for moderators to exist is that most people cant use the database properly. (remember, there was a time without moderators) and it's enough work to clean up the mess even now. (well it's a bit better since some weeks, but the next idiot will come soon enough, thats for sure. some of them keep trying to get in again and again and again and eventually will slip through at some point. hopefully not.)
Quote:I like the idea behind tags, really, but I've never ever seen them work well in practice.
that sums it up pretty good. i wouldnt mind seeing everything properly tagged either - but that will never work out.

that clarifies your motivs of your "no tags" policy.
if nothing will be tagged properly, nothing will be either credited / date added / etc etc properly. if nothing will be done properly we better shut down csdb =P |

personally i'd install different access levels for users (much more fine grained than it is now), disable everything for new users, and promote more rights to them when they prove to be sane and reliable - kindof like it worked on BBSs in the good old days. that could prevent a lot of the crap that happened. there doesnt seem to be a lobby for this though, so it wont happen. |

Wouldn't that disqualify 98% of the current user base? |

An enemy list would be cool though, I'd love to be able to keep track of my enemies!

Yeah, enemy list would be great. We're not friends here anyway.. Maybe it should be limited to 5 or 10 worst enemies, to stop overflow of negative energy and stuff. |

HCL: Hell no, let the hate flow freely. I'd like the possibility to add whole groups or even countries to my enemy list too!

Also an "at war with" list for groups would be useful.
