  1. After reading some people’s comments I’d like to post a reminder for those who don’t know or don’t remember this; There’s already hierarchy within ticket volunteers: Some have more permissions than others on OST, and there’s always that one volunteer who’s closer to admins than the others. Theoretically, volunteers are all equal, but in the practice it’s not always like that. Regarding Sydno’s suggestion; it’s somehow an interesting idea, and I think it’s fair for every volunteer to have access to everything but with certain limitations. It should have always been like that. Even though I’m not sure expanding the team that much would be good. Sydno may post an expansion for his idea later. And I also agree that it’s fair to know why Cupim has opened this risky topic. Anyway I agree with Crow that this feels like Cupim’s own initiative and not Admins’, unless he confirms otherwise later.
  2. Hello, In my opinion this is a risky topic of discussion that may lead to drama. However, it’s good that the whole community can give their own opinions on what they think or expect from a ticket volunteer. And since it’s been opened for public discussion, I’ll give my opinion as someone who was part of the volunteers until not so long ago; I share Sydno’s opinion about how it feels once you’re inside. When you become one, you’re a happy new volunteer who’s willing to do anything to make the community happy, and you think you can do things to make things better and improve the xat experience, but after some time you realize you can’t make great changes and end up disappointed. When I became a volunteer I was told by another volunteer to “only enjoy doing tickets and don’t try to change things”, I of course ignored this advice because I thought otherwise until I realized they were correct. Anyway I still tried to help as much as I could and keep myself motivated when doing tickets - which is not always easy because as Sydno has said volunteers are also ignored and usually don’t receive any kind of consideration for what they do. Once I was there I heard stories about former volunteers who left because of disappointment, and some of them even ended up hating this website. It’s also true that the communication between volunteers and developers isn’t great (almost non-existent), at least this was like that when I was still inside and from what I see it’s still like that. And this, of course, should be addressed because both groups are an important component of this website. Yes, you help users with tickets and that makes you happy. You can also push for small ideas to happen, or tickets to be answered, or events, but that’s it. The said above are real facts that would need to be addressed someday. Sydno and I had our ups and downs while I was a volunteer, but I must say he’s one of the most hardworking volunteers this website has had and is one of the people I owe my addition to the volunteers team because he believed in me, so for me it’s sad to see he’s feeling like that, but as I said it’s not the first time this is happening to a volunteer. Also, as Crow said, everyone’s paths are different on their way to the volunteers team, so if you’ve never been inside, you should try to avoid judging what a volunteer did or didn’t do because only the ones who are and were inside know the truth. People sometimes think volunteers are only there holding their titles and their purple names on the forum but that’s not true, many volunteers have pushed for changes that are still live until this day - like the verified pawn idea that was pushed by me when talking to admins about a contributor’s suggestion (I guess I can say this since it’s been a long time since then). I’m not going to say how a volunteer should look like or what do I expect from them because I don’t want to repeat other people’s comments. And while I know the “goal” is that people express their feelings according to the questions given in the main post, I think everyone’s opinions and feelings should be respected even if they differ from others. Thank you.
  3. Hello, @Junyor has been added to the wiki editors team. Let’s congratulate him and wish him luck!
  4. Hello, I also think this is a bit weird, the inspiration that was used to make this power may not be the best to create smilies but it’s somehow an interesting power that has interesting smilies.
  5. This is a very good idea that would be very attractive to a lot of xat users, myself included. Another option would be to implement this suggestion by including it in the available features that the existing Pstyle power offers, anyway I think a new power that offers this feature would be more than welcomed within the xat community. Congratulations on making a very good suggestion!

  7. I know this question is probably directed to Sydno, but a general answer to your question is that no official topic can be discussed publicly. You can mention here the names of the tribute chats you think should be looked at. However, I’d personally suggest you to message Sydno or any other person within the volunteers/contributors group and tell them which tribute chats should be reviewed, then they would decide if it’s worth opening a topic within the contributors group.
  8. Hello, Inactive tribute chats have always been removed when they become inactive, so if there are inactive tribute chats they will eventually be removed once a member of the Contributors group feel the need to open a topic and discuss the situation of these chats. As for the tribute chat rules, and specifically the activity rule: From what I can remember when we decided that rules needed to be imposed on tribute chats we didn’t set up specific periods of time which inactive tribute chats would be removed, unless that has been modified since I left volunteers/contributors. Anyway, inactive tribute chats can be removed at any time if needed as mentioned previously.
  9. I’ll have to agree that the visitors list would look a bit messy. Solution to this could be changing sizes on the chat box so this could fit in, as suggested by Sephiroth. Another option could be implementing this on your xat avatar, I think it would look better there in case chat box sizes can’t be changed. There’s many ways this could be implemented, in most cases as a premium feature I guess. The only free way I see for this to be implemented would be unlocking one by one depending on how many years your xat account has. The oldest accounts would unlock Gold or Platinum frames. I’m suggesting this because I disagree with associating these frames with powers because, in my opinion, it would be really hard to decide the frames each power would receive.
  10. This is definitely a very good and innovative function power, I’m sure it’ll become a popular power within the xat community. Congratulations to the people involved in the developing of this great power!
  11. I went ahead and emailed admins this morning, they’ve just replied a minute ago; They’ve told me 666 power is still being adjusted and that it won’t be included in Everypower for now - this means they might include it in the future so I’d say don’t worry about this because they might include it in Everypower in the future. They just decided it won’t be included for now.
  12. This is not the first time xat releases a power that is marked as super limited, I can’t remember the exact date this happened for the first time but I remember they eventually released more units of that super limited power so I’d say that users have nothing to be worried about because they’ll get more units in the future. That looks like a confirmation that 666 power is not required for Everypower. Anyway, I feel like it’d be appropriate for someone to make an “official announcement” within this topic to clarify if it’s going to be included in Everypower or not. And if it’s not, I’d say mention that within its wiki article as well.
  13. This looks like an interesting and creative power considering its ID, seems that they wanted to mix the number ID of this power and its appearance. Good job to Mihay for making it. As for those who are suggesting a new name for this power; I think it was named “666” on purpose and not because they didn’t know how to name it. The name actually makes sense if you think about its appearance and ID. Although they may end up changing the name anyway, you never know.
