I'll be putting down a list of suggestions and complaints mixed up. I've searched the forums for a topic(s) similar to what I wanted to say but couldn't find anyting (or anythign still open). I'm hoping that this post will be something like a sticky where ppl will reply with thoughtful comments which will help MT. Sorry if this kind of post has already been up many times. I want to help and make MT more of a community (not that it isn't 1, its the best out there from what i've experienced) and help keep it as clean as possible. I know I had more to say but forgot. :\ Ok I'll just get straight to it. Here it goes.
[1st]
To help keep comments constructive i think replys/comments should be more then 1 word therefore any that does not meet
the requirement are deleted or do not even process like when submitting an item and you have to type a 30 character
description. (the requirement can be a diff # according to the mods/admins of MT say like 2 or 3 words min.)
[2nd]
Eliminating walls that are the same but in diff resoultion. You can have 1 of the submissions have links to the others
in a diff resolution or a better idea is just have the highest resolution stay and the rest gone.
[3rd]
Leechers. I know somethign like this had been posted but it was closed and i couldn't comment on it. I think there
should be a requirement lvl to dl even walls. From what i know guest can dl walls rite? Atleast lvl 5 will make these
ppl interact with teh community and limit those guest who fully leech walls. This 1 just came to me when i was about
done with this post for today, how about having a ratio for members with lower then lvl 10, expanding, e.g. 1 post =
able to ddownload 1 wall or 2 post = able to dl 1 wall, and so on.

Not sure if this will help but its already done but not permitly. Taking the part with the list of currents members and
what they're doing, or taking the member section out, aren't these similar? I've also noticed that the
members section has the part with featured members who have donated, I can undestand y not to take the member section
away, but you can consider moving it else (possibly the homepage.)
[5th]
The shoutbox. I personally think that keeping it gone would be a good idea, but i understand y ppl would want to keep
it. I've never used it but it does make the community feel more alive and active. How about making a seperate page
for it. Don't you have to refrest the screen to make new msg show up? doesn't refreshing take up bandwidth
loading up everything on the screen. Putting it on a seperate page thats has a plain colour with just the shoutbox and
and the title or logo of MT would minimize load.
[6th] A rules section in the Support section to make it straight forward to newbs and not so newbish members what is expected and what is not expected in MT, etc.
[7th]
A guide section in the Support section. This would includes things like the lvl details: 10 you can dl, at this lvl you
get the white bg, search function, no ads, etc. I'm not so sure about these details but i thought i'd mention
it. There like rumors floating around hehe.
I know that the 6th and 7th sound similar to the FAQ section.
[8th]
FAQ section. I think it would be a good idea to have the FAQ info all in 1 page. Have a heading then the info under
that, another heading info under that, etc. I've been to the FAQ a couple times in search for an answer but
everytime i end up having to load up every section under FAQ to find it, if it was in the same page ppl wouldn't
have to be doing extra clicks and extra loading, i'd just have to scroll around the page.

Ok, I've fortten the many other 1s i was gonna say :p i'm gonna start wrting them down and add them here ... so i'll be editing this in the future as they come. I know that these may seem a bit ambitious but i'm just throwing ideas out there so maybe some1 will piggyback off of it. I'm hoping that I can help MT become the ultimate anime community by keeping it as clean as possible and as lively as possible.
