...what changes would you do?
I am really interested in hearing various opinions.
Some kind of rule: don't ruin the site, so that when The Helper gets it back it would be all right.

I will also tell you my ideas soon. Let us see yours!

Does this have any point or something or are you aiming to become one...?

It's probably just for fun. No one's going to become an admin from this :)

I'm a mod, close enough? I really find being a admin/mod no different than being a member, besides the fact that you get to take care of annoying other members, and forum stuff. :rolleyes:

I would change the cursor so it would be the Human cursor.

Also, I'd make it so people would have a .00001 chance to see a ninja come out of no where and eat your computer..

Hell, knowing my luck, it'd probably happen to me.

I would, in all honesty, change nothing. Perhaps I would remove a few -unsavory- members, that I have personal arguments with, but I would not change anything about it. The forum works exceptionally for what it's meant for.

(unfortunately I'm losing interest in what the forum is meant for :rolleyes:)

Removing people because you don't like them personally is one of many reasons why most of ya'll will never be on staff :) Doesn't work like that.

Sadly :rolleyes:

It is just to see any crazy actions if that would ever happen. I would not mind to become one, but it is a too shady thought.

Of course. We just want to hear your craziest ideas. Like Lord Phoenix :)

As long as the people you dislike happen to be trolls or spam bots.
For some weird reason everybody I've ever disliked where in one or both of those categories. What a coincidence :p

I would implement these kind of settings:

1)Give all administrators and moderators a 25% critical post ability. ( The post will deal more 160% more damage to newbies )

2)Give new users a 150% HP regain. ( Due Moderators' and Administrators' piercing attacks )

3)Remove the "Double-post" innate ability from the "Waiting e-mail vertification" users.

4)Give myself a 150% Endurance Aura, what will increase my typing speed.

I would probably add a better resources section to the site if I could, but I don't know how to do any programming of that sort. That way you could have more organized projects, and have certain tools available on this site. Of course some authors might not want their tools on our site. Then i'd probably have like a description, title, and link to the actual tool in some sort of resources section.

I'd also probably add a button in the reply posting section (where I am typing right now) that would say something like "Add Resource" and it would open a little window with all the resources listed, so you could just click and insert one in.

I've deleted like, what, two posts? xD

Being an Admin/Mod doesn't really mean you are the "ruler", for example, I'm the Mod of the Webmaster Help Zone, and be showing up as a mod of that forum lets other members know that I know a lot about that subject, and I'm here to help ( not that other members aren't, but you get the idea. :) ).

That last part wasn't at you, Seth. I just had to add that in. ;)

Thank you! thank you!

For my next course of action...

I would make a rule that all members must keep their pants on while surfing the forums.

EDIT- 600th post woo!

huh, the tag's don't allow moderator! hahah!

Actually, I believe being the staff demands respect. Especially a staff on a big forum like this one.

Each and every moderator/administrator has shown a huge amount of maturity, judgment, and overall brains. I think that demands a bit of respect, thank you very much.

I would create a zone dedicated to old SM threads that I personally find funny.

These would be for viewing only, no new posting.

A comic gold museum.

Perfect, it would be.

What about :

5)Private Messages has a 80% critical ability.

6)Reputation decrease damage taken and increase HP regen.

:p

This thread is going a bit weirdless and hopeless. XD

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
