Granted Forum Improvement Suggestion

[Soul Calibre]

1. HideUser BBCode
   
   I have been using a HideUser BBCode before, not knowing na hindi pala gumagana until a staff member mentioned it. I never thought about it until just now when I realized that it has to be added to the available BBCodes. I mean, it needs to be added. The forum is created thru XenForo naman so this is possible. I think this would be a great addition kung i-allow din ito for everyone to use. Though it can be misused, I am sure this BBCode will be very helpful lalo na when a feedback is required from others. Other users will become more confident in providing feedback if they know it will be hidden from they eyes of the public and that their privacy is protected.
   
   For example, in a recent thread (https://netizion.com/posts/4299580/), I require users to take a screenshot of their Canva account showing the name and share it as feedback. The reason I am asking na dapat visible yung name na nakalagay sa Canva is for me to identify kung sino ang mga nag-join. But as you can see in the comment section, users share screenshots while redacting their names. It will be hard for me to identify kung sino-sino sila kasi hindi ko mabasa. Their canva profile avatar serves as a clue naman, but how about those na walang avatar? Let's say different users set their Canva name to something that starts with letter 'A', without setting up an avatar, their default profile will show letter 'A'. I won't know who provides feedback and who does not.
   
   If HideUser BBCode is implemented, users might comply with feedback requirements knowing they can hide their comment from prying eyes.​
   
   
2. Updated Forum Ranks
   
   I don't think there's an announcement already about the updated forum ranks. Naghanap ako kahapon pero wala akong nakita. Ang meron lang ay itong Info - NETIZION'S Account Promotions, requirements and privileges, and this thread seems incomplete. Wala sa list, or hindi naka-indicate sa list, yung ibang forum ranks. I believe the stated permissions din para sa mga nabanggit sa thread ay outdated/incorrect.
   
   As you can see, I was able to upload a GIF avatar kahit hindi naman ako 'Notable Member'. I don't see ranks such as 'Apprentice' and 'Well-known Netizen' listed sa thread. Unless there's a different thread na hindi ko nakita, all ranks and their allowed permissions should be indicated.​

Thank you for your suggestion, @Soul Calibre

1. We initially didn’t enable the hideuser BBCode because we think it might not be useful for everyone. However, after considering your feedback, we realized it could be helpful for some members, so I enable it.
   
   
2. The GIF avatar permission was previously disabled because the add-on is quite old and the developers are no longer updating it. Due to potential security concerns, we chose not to install it. We also prefer to keep things simple. That said, since you brought it up, we’ve decided to enable it anyway.

Thanks again for your feedback, appreciate it!

Thanks for your reply.

How about an update showing the list of forum ranks and their permissions? I saw the thread as mentioned in my suggestion, but that thread is incomplete.

HideUser ba yung ikaw pipili ng taong makaka view lang ng content mo?

Yes. But I think visible pa rin yun sa mga staff.

Example:

Content of this hidden block can only be seen by following members (Soul Calibre).

 

[Arthur Leywin]

Yes.

So you can instruct the member to do this and that para secured ang content. Nice nice.

Yep, that's the actual use. Para hindi makita ng iba maliban sa mga inilagay na user.

I can see it. Magandang bagay yan lalo na nagshe-share ka ng ilang freemium subscriptions.

Oo, para iwas leak din ng freemium accounts na kunwari para lang sa isang member, instead of sending DM, HideUser can be used. Less hassle, and for me ay mas malinis ang DMs.

Quick update about the HideUser BB c0d3.. it seems not all users are permitted to use it. It would be better if everyone, including new users can use it. I logged in to my alt account and I don't see the option to use it.
