I'm not sure if that's legal according to German law - and even if it is, I'm not happy with it. You should always be able to remove such information.

Yes, if it was at one time public in the internet, it will surely be forever in the internet. That's correct, but I don't think you should support that behaviour. I think the easiest idea would be to remove that stuff if someones asks for that. It should not happen often enough to hav significant influence on the time needed to moderate the site. That makes everyone happy: users can remove they infos if needed, and you don't have to change the site's programming.

@ Nova: If a privacy policy states that you own all information you put up on your profile page then you are allowed to delete such data. You could probably just send DC an e-mail.

There is no law.

give thread creator privilege to remove posts !

Thats fucking stupid.

Agreed..

Go for discussions on steam..

why ?

If you remove post of people who not agree with you ideas or opinions your post just will have positive comments, and if the content its bad, the ppl will think that its good coz there isn't bad or disagree comments. Maybe let the people block users or deny replies of user who just flame or comment things that are not related with you post or smthg like that.

Pretty sure this has come up before but it still occurs so here goes:

When you block someone from sending you a private message you should be blocked from sending them a message as well.

There are two reasons for this being:
1. There is no point in you being able to send messages without receiving them other than being a giant troll.
2. The person that has blocked you has forgotten and then sends you a message you cannot reply to.

The 2nd has happened pretty often, there is no way of telling them I'm blocked and cannot reply other than the forum or their other social accounts and honestly I can't be bothered in doing that.

tag for evry file
for example for my admin script lua tags are : admin - administrator - manage
just for example

it make searching easier !

clears throat
I'd like to suggest a little notice (like the ones you receive when you get a PM) when someone quotes one of your posts or when someone tags your user name (@ xsiN:) in a thread.
Cheers

I'm going to tell you something which should have been done already or maybe was already suggested by someone else.

There must be some impediments to not let newly registered people do anything immediately. Like in 5 days after registering, their status should be like "Newbie" who can't post a comment, upload file or send a PM to someone. In the end of 5 days, they'll be "User" and will able to do anything they want.

This suggest can also be identified as a bot prohibitory.

@ xsiN: *clap* *clap*
I was about to suggest that. Such a notification will be cool ,no doubt.

When clicking "create new thread", pinned posts of the section you want to post in should be visible, all pinned posts from all sections or the most popular threads like "statement on hacks", CS2D ideas thread and thread with ideas for Unreal Software website.

set a number in the files page which shows how many peoples saw this post ! (very useful)
exactly like stack overflow !

@ DC: why don't you make advertisment of your games on the german broadcast television Like this?

@ The Art Of Killing: I was trying to figure out a way to make this understandable even for your monkey brain, but man, thats quite a task.

So what could possibly be the reason DC didn't do that yet... oh yeah! It costs money...

But hey, who would've guessed, right? I mean except literally every person on the planet with a functioning brain, but that doesnt seem to be a criteria here anyway so w/e.

@ The Art Of Killing: In addition to what SmD said: TV spots are super expensive. My games are free. Do the math.

@ DC: well i can understand from you that's you do all this effort for nothing

For nothing? Do you not know what a hobby is?

@ DC: there is an idea , why don't you make productss like T-Shirt / coffe cup that it contain USGN logo or other games !!
