    @jbiloh What about a ranking or good/bad system for sellers?
    Kinda like how on eBay you can see reviews if the seller is good or bad.

    It doesn't have to go into actual reviews but maybe stars.
    negative would show 5 empty stars and (-75)
    good would show Up to 5 "full" stars and day (75)
    the 75 would be the amount of people.
    Although would need some kinda of captcha on it so people wouldn't sick their bots on it to pad the ranking system.

    Just my 2¢

    I'll think through this. Thanks for the suggestion.

    They don't care. I've been called a "retard" and a "fucking cunt" and "the cunt" multiple times by one specific person who seems to have decided that all their interactions with me have to involve direct insults. Since the posts were flagged and nothing came of it, I have to conclude that such behavior was determined to have not broken any rules and is permitted.

    No. If you participate on let, you wouldn't need this to find bad actors. This would only favour some sellers. This would only make some providers dominance on let (as already is) a bigger issue.

    Let is a community. Not a marketplace.

    Edit: don't fuck this place and make it another wht or whatever.

    There is no chance of this place becoming WHT.

    I intend to make only the most minor adjustments focused on fixing bugs, ui issues, as part of thr upgrade. I want to take a very delicate approach.

    I like the light weight nature of LowEndTalk and think it's key.

    Yes and no, I cannot follow every thread and especially during a sale event like BF, where you have to act quick, it would be nice to easily see what others think about the host without digging through X posts across LET.

    @Saragoldfarb said: This would only favour some sellers. This would only make some providers dominance on let (as already is) a bigger issue.

    I don't think so, at least not when the system is thought trough. There are many ways to make a star review fair, even for newcomers and low review count ones. In my opinion Trustpilot is a good example for that.

    That would only empower MJJs and bots to threaten providers more. If a provider is truly god-awful, they should have their tag suspended or be banned. Otherwise, unless we could some how make it mandatory for everyone who uses the service to vote on it, we would get a non-representative sample.

    or you only allow members with at least X comments to give that review. I would rather trust a genuine member that is active on LET than the flooding reviews by MJJs.

    also

    @forest said: Otherwise, unless we could some how make it mandatory for everyone who uses the service to vote on it, we would get a non-representative sample.

    I don't think that's true, there would be enough people wanting to give a review, otherwise Trustpilot and other platforms wouldn't exist.

    @NotFoundException said: Like I said before

    Limiting reviews to people with time on the forum means that only a certain class of clientele have their opinions recorded. This would bias scores towards how friendly and active a provider is on the forum (the "mere-exposure effect").

    @NotFoundException said: I don't think that's true, there would be enough people wanting to give a review, otherwise Trustpilot and other platforms wouldn't exist.

    TrustPilot is useful for finding red flags, not for determining how good a provider is. A lot of that is because of the bias.

    Can you get rid of the "quote" popup when highlighting text? Or at the very least an option under https://lowendtalk.com/profile/quotes to disable it?

  • yeungonyeungon Member

    my cusiosity, which platform/server and how much you are paying to run LET :-)

  • uekixuekix Member

    LET AI for sure

    @jbiloh said: What would make LowEndTalk better for you?

    Ability to weed out some (bad) sellers... or give/display some kind of (satisfaction) grade/score.

    Can we have the ability to "hide threads" for an account?
    Some other sites with similar structure implemented this feature and it feels much better not having to scroll across a list of stuff one is not interested in.

    I would like to add a search by title filter: because currently, general searches for providers name are being completely overwhelmed by YABS thread and post!

  • aphexaphex Member

    Can we actually ban all LLM slop. Like really, really obvious shit. I don't care as much if you used it to assist but I want an immediate ban on anyone that posts 30 paragraphs of trash

  • samiramsamiram Member

    A way to sort the threads according to open date, last comment etc.

    A search that actually works. If I search "10gbps Norway" I want results that include both keywords, not one.

    Just realized it's already on the list

    Would like to see:

    • complete redesign of ui. Just copy lowendspirit, they did the homework;
    • Total removal of serververify. Respect user data;
    • Solution to an mjj problem. Self-entitlement looks disgusting;
    • Renewal of selling/adverising rules. Stop allowing clear scams. Grow a spine;
    • Increase provider fee to 500$. They have all the money, prices gone up insanely, while provider fee stay the same. Milk them!
    • Be on watch for femboys. This crowd increasing and taint discussions;
  • nghialelenghialele Member

    The ability to blocking someone, so people can block me off.

    • bring a Upvote/Downvote karma system instead of “Thanks”
    • Ability to Karmagate posts. This will be useful for providers as well as users trying to avoid bots and MJJ scalpers

    +1 to other suggestions like provider index, provider rating.
    Also some provider attributes should be visible in the comments as well. For example ‘10yrs in LET’

  • fredo1664fredo1664 Member

    I don't know if it's possible but a GIF filter for when I am at work and don't necessarily need to see a child anime character. Actually I never need to see that.

    We should declutter offer threads by moving all of the "Post invoice to double the spam" / "Copypaste a corny phrase with annoying amounts of emojis to enter giveaway" interactions somewhere else. Not sure where exactly, but out of the main threads. Maybe a web form accessible to providers, maybe a dedicated read-only channel, maybe something else. But something needs to be done to improve the signal-to-noise ratio before people start sending their AI browser agents to browse the forum instead of trying to ignore the spam by sight.

    That will increase toxicity by a lot.

    With their flashing, animated profiles and glowing animated karma bonus point tags next to each name?
