Ideas, Issues, Suggestions

Way back in my lurking days, for a while anyway, MS used to have ranks.

From memory there was, in order of seniority, something like;

Reporter
Correspondent
Editor
Managing Editor

Or very similar to that, the positions based on positions within a newsroom.

As I recall it wasn’t too popular. People didn’t hate it or anything, it just didn’t really catch on. There was no special privileges or benefits, maybe that could make a difference?

We tried sending Newsweary and TVAU around to lecture highly ranked members on “the good old days” but the feedback was not good.

The ranks have been replaced in some respect by the badges you get awarded

Ah the good old days when Mr Q ran MS like a corporation and there were titles like CEO :sunglasses:

Hey, is there any possibility of relaxing the ‘3 posts in a row’ limitation in certain scenarios? I wanted to post in the Adelaide Carols topic with a list of artists and the broadcast time (for 7 Adelaide). My last post in said thread was back in July. If this forum platforms allows, perhaps the ‘3 posts in a row’ rule could be ignored if the last post is older than a certain period of time (e.g. 1 month).

Alternatively would someone be willing to reply to the topic and then I can post the 2018 details :slight_smile:

Thank you! :grinning:

There should be a special title for those who would fall under that banner. :rofl:

Suggested titles:
Old Fart
Old Timer
Media Spy Pensioner
I Remember The Test Card

Ok you might notice a new button - it allows for a more “facebook style” reaction

We’ll see how it goes, if you abuse it - I’ll remove it

Like the new styles of ‘like’ button personally.

Yes. Don’t just reply to my posts with the poo emoji. :joy::joy::joy:

I can imagine one ex-member reacting appropriately using these emojis when they see comments they don’t like (in particular the Seven topics) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m reading on an iPhone and I can see the new emoji button but it doesn’t register when I select a reaction…

EDIT: Seems to be working now… it seems I can also express opinions about my own posts…

These are great. Although I feel an important one is missing which would get a lot of use: :roll_eyes:

Maybe we need eggplant :eggplant: as well… just sayin… it seems popular amongst some members

Angery time!
Looks great, hopefully you can play with the alignment though so that it’s inline with the other buttons :+1:

Do I get some sort of badge or recognition for suggesting an innovation that has had such a big impact on MediaSpy?

When I say big impact, it’s all relative of course, so many people on here seem to get eggplant (:eggplant:) excited over the smallest pixel change to a graphic on TV, so the introduction of emoji reactions would seem important.

But perhaps I’m being churlish? :grinning:
