[quote][i]Quote from: Cuer[/i] [url=/news/308]Site Updates - January 6, 2007 - User Created Comments[/url] An exciting addition is now live on the site: [b]user created comments[/b]! We've put together a system to allow comments on just about every aspect of the site: whether it's a new [url=/itemdb/9024]item[/url], a ferocious [url=/mobdb/4023]NM[/url], an [url=/npcdb/2066]NPC[/url], [url=/enm/7]ENM[/url], [url=/zonedb/174]zone[/url] or [url=/bcnm/13]BCNM[/url] -- just about every area of the site now has comments at the bottom of the page. These are designed to let you to provide extra information that may be missing, or correct inaccurate data, throughout the site. We're looking for hard, cold facts; broad discussions are still best done on the [url=http://ffxi.somepage.com/discussion/]discussion forums[/url]. You can also rate each comment up or rated down once, to reflect the value of the information contained; even if you don't have anything to say, feel free to rate any comments that you see. For now, all comments default to a zero rating, and the default view is the same; that may change down the road. This is the testing phase for the comments; we'll see how they work, and adjust the system accordingly, as needed. All the [url=/discussion/rules.php]discussion board rules[/url] apply to comments as well; take a moment to read those if you haven't, to stay within the guidelines. Beyond that, a few pointers to keep in mind: [ul][li][b]Stay on Point[/b]: Only post comments about the actual information on that page - if you have information about a stand-alone NM, post it on that monster's page, nowhere else. Comments about a specific item go on that item's page, details regarding a quest go on that quest's page, etc.[/li][li][b]No Tags[/b]: For now, we don't have any formatting or linking tags in the comments, to discourage spam. We're looking into ways to safely add some of those down the road.[/li][li][b]Deprecated Comments[/b]: We will be regularly scanning all new comments, to see any that have information that needs to be changed. If we update something such as an item from the comment, we'll reply to the comment, and then deprecate it, so it doesn't show up by default. That way, the comments for each item/mob/NPC/etc. only refer to current information. You can look at the deprecated comments for any entity, however, if you wish to double-check information that other users have posted.[/li][li][b]Reporting a Comment[/b]: If you disagree with the information contained in a comment, be sure to reply and detail why, and/or rate it down. If the comment is spam, or any other type of post that is listed as [b]not permitted[/b] or [b]strictly prohibited[/b] in the [url=http://ffxi.somepage.com/discussion/rules.php]discussion board rules[/url], you can report it directly to us. Just select the orange warning icon, and the site administrators will be notified regarding the post.[/li][li][b]Comment Administration[/b]: We will delete comments that are prohibited, as mentioned above; users who regularly break those rules may have their ability to leave any comments suspended, or revoked. If a comment has something small that runs against the rules, such as foul language, we may edit it instead; comments that are edited will be noted as such.[/li][li][b]Get Signed Up![/b]: All users must have a somepage.com account, to post comments or submit ratings to comments. You can go to [url=http://ffxi.somepage.com/users/]ffxi.somepage.com/users/[/url] to sign in, or register if you don't have an account yet, using our newly upgraded registration system. Keep in mind that you will also need to have Javascript enabled in your web browser, to use the comments section; it is turned on by default in all standard browsers.[/li][/ul] If you run into any problems, or have suggestions regarding the new comments system, feel free to post them in the forum topic for this news item. Enjoy, and we'll be watching how it all works![/quote]
