Please help, This is going to clog up the project pages with spam.
Now that the albums are unavailable......
The spammers have found the projects. They are creating new projects to advertise stuff like this.
NFL
Builder - DA Models
watch live nfl here http://blahblahblah
How can non registered users even create projects?
~~Edited~~The last time I looked, there wasn't any football players in Dragon age.

Oh good, just what we needed. Never underestimate people's ability to care about nothing but themselves.

They just need to make people register before using any of the features. simple. Must have a Bioware Game registered to be able to post anything, create anything etc..on the site.

So, as an anthropologist, you remove the anthroplogy from the basis of what is it is truly about. Anthropology doesn't exist in a vacuum, it is what humans do and how they interact socially as they progress as beings; this move simply dis-quantifies that (for want of a better term). I guess it is what it is, but it certainly isn't anything regarding Anthropology and any studies regarding it.

I know I haven't really been on much (at all) for several months, but I think I post for most everyone, when I post...

So, any word on these amazing new features that will blow our minds?

So, after reading this topic, I just want to throw my 2 cents in .

This site seems to need a bit more in terms of updating (speaking objectively on this), as there are MANY forums on this site (way more than I have seen from any gaming company site), and some ultimately appear to be unneeded, at least on on the main section of the forum.



It could even be pushed a bit further back with all site related news forums moved to the top of the forum listings instead of being scattered throughout, and would make the listing look much cleaner.

For example:
The main listings would show categories:

-Site News
-Community
-Dragon Age
-Mass Effect
-Neverwinter Nights
-Baldur's Gate
-Other Games

From there it could then show what would be within each category:

-Community
--Fan Submissions
--Off Topic
--Etc.



-Mass Effect
--Mass Effect (1)
--Mass Effect 2
--Mass Effect 3

and then further from that (except in the instance of "Community' which would just lead to the forum itself after the sub listing) would be how it currently set up:

--Mass Effect 3
---Mass Effect 3 News and Announcements
---Mass Effect 3 General Discussion (No ME3 Spoilers allowed)
---Mass Effect 3 Story and Campaign Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)
---Etc.


This would be a way to not overwhelm newer members, as the way it currently is set up seems a bit of a mess.
Then there could even a "Favorites" category, where a user could "pin" the forums they use the most at the very top for quick and easy access, and this category could function the same way as the main categories (so above 'Site News').




Current polling systems of gaming sites (generally speaking) are horrible, unless they would only be in the Off Topic section, so they would never be misconstrued as means of "gauging community reaction."

I am glad that Projects aren't switching to read only, as that would seem to be a terrible idea.

Albums -- I've never really used them on any website, and never saw a real use, and same goes for gaming-site hosted blogs.

I remember at one point that private messaging was disabled when sending PMs to people not on your site friends list, and that seemed very odd, so why not add in an option that a person can block all incoming messages from people not on their contacts list, and then have that set to "active" by default?
Then a person sending a messge to the user that has that setting on would then receive a message back saying that the other user was unable to receive the message due to them enabling this filter.
That would work better (in my optnion, but then again, all of this is my opinion).



Besides all of that, why not give teases to the community on what they should expect (in very broad terms that show that it is in no way "set in stone") to let people know what's going on?

Anyways, interesting ideas with the site, and I hope they all work out.

OP damage control much?? Removing poles simply makes it harder to reinforce a point in a discussion when debating a topic. Mind-less drones that don't complain and that don't create poles showing everyone feels the same way is what we're aiming for here... We wouldn't want that to happen ever again would we now.

Remove the forum changes pop-up, please.

I only need to read it once.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

So in the next two weeks we might see the new BSN, right?

[luna1124]

I was wondering if and when the new changes will happen. I was trying to delete a few comments from a project, but it does not work. Thank you

[luna1124]

I am guessing this thread is now in a coma. Is there another place we can ask questions and get answers? Thank you

You could pm the mods, oh wait.

Seems like they don't want to actually improve the site (why does the main forum page need to list around 120 items?), and just limit what people can do.


No more questions to any member or dev, and the future seems to be far more restricitve for this site.

[TheMyron]

I want my polls back!!!

Always a wise move to remove things that the community enjoys in order to improve their experience.

Logic at its bloody finest.

It's been Bioware's modus operandi ever since 2008 or so, you shouldn't be too surprised.

So, are forums and threads going to read only, to be eventually phased out as well? If so, what new exciting new feature will be put in place of them?

[AngryFrozenWater]

You mean you cannot add new threads, nor edit existing posts, Br3ad? The "Standard Form" seems to be broken. Only "Quick Reply" seems to work.

For now it looks like a bug. Let's hope it is not intended.

[SlottsMachine]

Uh, I think I broke the forum again.
