MeetFighters News

Dear members,

Since our start, the Terms of Service has never changed much. The site, and our membership has, which has prompted me to update the site rules.

Please read them carefully!

The following rules have been removed:

• Please avoid uploading shocking, naked, sexually explicit or scandalous photos or text. It is no longer forbidden to upload these photos, although they will not appear on your profile.
• Please avoid being off-topic (e.g. politics). This has not been much of a problem, so I felt it wasn't necessary to put in the TOS.
• Our server is in Hungary. You have to obey laws and regulations of the Republic of Hungary, and that of your home country. The server is no longer located in Hungary, and enforcing local laws is outside the scope of a site TOS anyway.

The following rule has been modified:

• The rule about hostile behavior has been clarified with the following sentence: "The only exception to this rule is setting "abuse flags", any other form of personal attack or harrassment is forbidden."

The following rules have been added:

• You may have only one profile. Using multiple profiles is forbidden.
• Marking people you have not met as "past opponents", or writing recommendations for them is forbidden.

These new rules serve an important role in eliminating sockpuppets and fake past opponents.

If you no longer agree to the new terms of service, please discontinue using the site.

Dear members,

If you own a smart phone or tablet PC, and feel adventurous, please take a moment to try the new mobile version of our site!

Feedback is welcome!

I have managed to fix a bunch of entries from the Suggestion Box this week:

• Wrestling Gear in "Interests": You can now select the "Wrestling Gear" interest in your profile.
• Willing to host / travel: You can indicate on your profile the distance you can travel, along with your ability to accommodate travelers. Please update your profile!
• Option to rotate pictures: You can rotate your photo after you upload it. (This is for some digital cameras and scanners that do not detect camera orientation.)
• Clicking on notification should consume it
• Profile link from Chat is wrong sometimes: Fixed a bug that affected lightirc chat and international characters in profile names.

I have also closed some unpopular old entries that didn't seem relevant anymore. All in all, about half of the suggestion box entries are gone, so submit your new ideas! :)

I am currently working on a Mobile (lightweight) version of the site.

Hi everyone,

This week, our site has passed the 5000-member mark! We are now officially a crowd :)

It is not going to last very long, though, because I plan to disable profiles that haven't logged in in half a year starting sometime next week. This is going to affect around 600 profiles. Disabled profiles will no longer show up in the members list and you will not be able to send them messages. However, if the owner of the profile logs in, the profile will be instantly restored.

Another change I am planning for the near future has to do with date formatting. Dates appear in many different places, like your messages, the Events page, user profiles, etc.

Right now dates on the site are always formatted as "2011-06-12" meaning the 12th of June, 2011. This is an ISO standard date format, but is a little bit confusing to some members. For example, our USA members are more used to a 6/12/2011 (or even 6/12/11) format, while the United Kingdom prefers the 12/06/2011 order. (And there's many more).

My plan is to make the date formatting dependent on the user's language, so the date formatting will be closer to what you would expect it to be.

While we're on the topic of changes, it is now possible to sort the user's list by country and name, which is somewhat better for the "Who is on chat?" page than an alphabetical list.

Dear members,

There have been a bunch of small changes to the site since the last issue of Site News, here's the list:

• It is now possible to change your username for a token fee.
• The weekly newsletter no longer contains a list of changed profiles. This makes the newsletter a bit more compact.
• The "gallery" and "softcore gallery" photo moderation categories have been merged to simplify the system a little.
• The wording of new event notifications has been changed; they sound less like personal invitations now.
• Site support localization for various languages (some translations pending).
• Miscellaneous small bugfixes and enhancements.

We hope that you continue to find our site useful! :)
