Frequently Made Suggestions - READ before suggesting!

**Mrs. Morris** · 07-10-2009, 02:06 PM

Do not Suggest any of the following things, as they have been suggested MANY times before. When mods say no, we mean no, we have our reasons.

New forum layout

A new layout is in the works. Once this one is done, don't think by any means they're going to take suggestions on a newer one when they've already put so much work into that one.

Stricter posting/trading restrictions on new members

The system we have in place now works fine. If you're worried about spammers, REPORT any spam you see and we WILL get to it. If you're worried about scammers, PROTECT YOURSELF. Use your own personal judgement! If you see someone who spammed to 25 posts looking to buy $100 worth of virtual items, you have the choice NOT to trade with them, so please use common sense when trading to not get yourself scammed.

New subsections for "Other games"

As you might notice, there are sections under "Other games" with games such as WoW that are more popular than the game YOU are suggesting. You also might notice that even the WoW is hardly active. Gaming gutter is focused on Gaia and Neopets. Because of this, there are very few members willing to post in "Other games". No new sections of games that 90% of the members have never heard of will be added, as it will just be another dead section.

New usergroups for helpful members

Our current usergroups for helpful members are Underground, Member of the Month, and if your exceptionally amazing, VIP. Underground is the most saught after usergroup, and not hard to obtain. There is no reason to add anything lesser than underground. As for anything a step up from underground, this would be Member of the Month. If you've already recieved both, good job, you're a cool member. But you don't need more userbars.

Larger signature space for regular members

There is a reason that it is set to the current size limit. If you REALLY want more space, be active, be a helpful member, gain access to underground and your space will be increased.

Premium membership / Site donations

The owners of the site have decided to take down site donations due to the frequent chargebacks they received. They have made it very clear that at the moment they have no intention of bringing it back, so please do not suggest how they can make it work and all that. IF they ever decide they need the donations again, the owners of the site will make that choice themselves. Donations used to be accepted, this is why you might see some users with a retired "Donor" usergroup bar under their name.

Forum Shoutbox / Chat room / Etc

Gaming gutter had one of these at one point a long time ago. It did not work out for the better of the forum. Staff will not be adding one of these because it takes away from the activity of the forum. Instead of chatting on the threads and being active, members instead could just chat it up. So we will not be adding one of these.

Any frequently suggested things that have been turned down a million times that I missed? Post them please so I can add. :3

Now that i actually read this, lololol, ill add something. Um, visitor message notification?

**Mrs. Morris** · 08-04-2009, 09:47 AM

Apparently it's something nomhak was going to look into, so if he decides to do that, then I shouldn't need to add it, cause it's something that would be done. :P

+It's only been suggested twice. xD

Thats always being suggested.

I think that's actually being compromised, so I'm going to hold off on that one to see what happens. :P
