Abuse on RHP

Try using a real dictionary and look up the term "sophist"

Don’t you have to be clever to be a sophist?

Since sophist is derived from sophia (greek for wisdom), at least being wise would be great 😉

LOL...Funny story!

You got your wise ass, smart ass, dumb ass, lazy ass, and many more I am sure that people say. I am pretty sure I've been called them all at one time or another. 😉

Brought up again, since Russ never shot it down. Just a few RHP'ers thumbed it down but some agreed.

Just hover your mouse over the thumbs down to see who has thumbed it. Simple code and won't take long.

Eventually people will use the up/down more appropriately with a bit of accountability.

2. [the idea was mooted before and voted down]
you could always override that vote as site admin for accountability reasons. I'd bet you wouldn't get too many people asking for the "show vote names" to be deleted.

The ones that voted it down are likely the ones voting thumbs down all the time anyway.

Bring back accountability to rhp says I!

3.
When the game is in the opening few moves, it would be helpful if a pop up window or notification alert would appear indicating to you what the name of the opening your opponent is doing or what defense they are using.

Then you should be able to search your finished games for games you played against certain openings or defenses to help you review what worked and what didn't.

4.
This is 2018....when you move a piece it should actually move so that you can see it...and if you take someone's piece, the taking piece should smash the one being taken. Then you could add, like, sounds effects, too!....Maybe even a commentator's voice could chime in after taking a piece, like, "hey great move, champ!", or, "are you sure you want to do that?". When you win, fireworks should go off on the screen and if you lose maybe bouncing unhappy faces could attack your king and kill him...or maybe all the bishops surround the king and stab him with their steely knives!

The possibilities are endless!



5.
RHP should give money, prizes, or free subscriptions etc to RHP members if they create threads that have more than say 200 or 300 posts from more than 20 or so posters.

The thread starters are really the content creators on RHP...without them the site would be dead since most seem to agree the forums are what makes RHP unique.

So, how bout the odd kick back to your content drivers, Russ?


6.
Let's have an option that goes beyond the simple thumbs up thumbs down rec.

Let's have a button that says "Nominate for RHP Hall of Fame"

In order to qualify for the Hall of Fame the post must get at least 15 people press the Hall of Fame button. Every 6 months, a review panel of RHP subscribers/Admins could vote on which posts get into the RHP Hall of Fame. A max of maybe 5 posts could be admitted to keep the quality very high with no mandate that any posts actually make it in..

This way you could have the "recommended posts" button only keep track of the last few weeks worth of rec's rather than the page after page it is now.





And, the all-time lame-brain, take-the-cake, hall-of-shame, knuckle-head post from you:

This would be helpful to know what the odds of having something actually be done with our ideas. That way, if we know there is only a 0.07 percent chance our idea will be used, then maybe we don't bother posting it. It would save us time and allow us to focus on enjoying the site rather than trying to imagine it as we would like it to be.

What are the odds you will come up with a sensible idea? Based on the evidence of past performance...

Some would say you've got a smart-ass with a wise-crack. 😉
