Thanks, good point. I'll forward this to admin.

Although I agree with what others said about Graffiti and Quizzes, I've got something to say, I'll start with "Contribute Content", as I've got a BIG issue on that. As I read on the Ways to Earn Star Points page, you get 50 pts for contributing content, with a top of 200 pts a day. I think that's not right; contributing content is a hard task, it's not just "copy & paste", stuff like an episode guide of a show that has got 3 or 4 seasons or more, takes time and effort to do, just to mention one task; while you can literally earn thousands of star points a day by just rating shows, celebs, or photos.

Star Points for contributing content to a show's wiki should be raised; 50 points is way too low. Well, actually, the whole wiki system is a problem to handle that way; like, it's not moderated, and one can get the same points for just adding a couple lines to an actor's bio or for adding a 4 seasons' episode guide. I think something should be done regarding the amount of contribution, and the 200 pts a day limit should be deleted.

I've got a few more issues to report, as I don't find any other place in the forum to open a new topic and post it all there, I'll add it all here.
I guess some of these are in BuddyTV's "to do" list, others are not, I'll just say it.

- The "Invite a Friend" page doesn't work. I tried several times along a couple weeks and it always sends me to an error page. I think this should be fixed and improved: instead of inviting friends just by logging into an address book (call it Hotmail, Yahoo or whatever) there should be an easier way. I've got a blog related to tv shows news and stuff like that, it's 1 year old and it's growing, I'll add a link to BuddyTV; it would be great if there could be a custom link so anyone who clicks there and comes here through that link and registers as a new member at BuddyTV, could get me Star Points (no less than 1,000, although the number should be higher). This would work for anyone who's got a blog or a website.

- Groups. I don't see a link to the Groups from profiles or other easy and most visited places at BuddyTV. This is just a minor detail, but I think it should be fixed.

- 500 points for logging in? I don't think that's a good idea; by the way, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it gives me the 500 points even if I didn't log out, just by entering the site after a couple hours. Points for logging in are not a good idea, because it would make people log out and log in to get those points, and the fact is that people should be rewarded for being continuously logged in voting for their favorite shows, celebs, playing the trivia, and all that. Something like "fidelity", like earning points for each day or week you stay logged in.

- There's an issue with the actors' photos. I see that on some actors' galleries there are photos that are not the actors' photos, that are just personal pictures from people. I've seen it several times, but one good example is the Carlo Rota ("24" actor) gallery: one of the pics is not him, but of two dark-skinned young women drinking beer! On some other "24" actor (James Morrison), the photo gallery has several photos of a musician that has half his age and has nothign to do with the actor.
These are just the ones I remember right now, but the same problem I found several times around BuddyTV. And I don't see a "Report picture" button or something like that, that could help to mark the pics that people uploaded but have nothing to do with the actors.

- I see that shows are being added from time to time, and I'm grateful for that; but theres one problem, sometimes a show is added, but just the show's page, not the actors' pages; like the Star Trek shows, you added the shows pages but after several weeks there's only the actors pages for one of them but not for the other three, and I know you've got all the actors' names.

- And regarding some shows that should be added... I'll ask for a few shows that should be there... I don't know if you've got a criteria to select which shows should be added or not... like, there's a show like Jericho that only lasted a little bit more than one season, but I don't see a show like Millennium (that lasted 3 seasons and was created by Chris Carter, same guy frm X files), or John Doe (starring current Prison Break star Dominic Purcell), or Threshold (that only lasted 13 episodes, but was great).

- Is there a way that the forum and the whole site can be integrated in the way that they don't behave as separated sites? I mean, I'm logged in on BuddyTV, but if I want to come here to the forums, I've got to register again, and log in; and of course, as it's treated like a different site, you don't get Star Points for posting here at the forum. Is there a way to integrate the two databases? At least so if you're logged into BuddyTV, the same log in information can be used in the forum...

I hope you guys at BuddyTV don't take this as a harsh criticism, as it's not intended to be that way; I see that BuddyTV has got two very different parts: the one where the BuddyTV staff works, they post news and articles that us readers enjoy reading and posting our comments; but the other part, the "Community" part, is still seriously flawed. As I said, I guess that you people have got your "To Do" list and that you've got so much work to do every day; but some things like the several flaws in the "community" part of the BuddyTV site should be fixed ASAP, 'cause if they're left as they are now, they would be harder to fix later. Same thing goes to this forum: being myself an admin for 7 years of some other forum made as this one on vBulletin system, I see thousands of spam registrations that fill the board's database with Mb or Gb of crap, that could be easily cleaned.

Well, that's it for now. If the forum staff or BuddyTV staff want to contact me for specific details on what I said, you can send a Private Message to me, or you can e-mail me (the forum's admins can see my contact info).
I'm just saying all of this in the hope to make BuddyTV a better place.

Some shows I wish you add as shows on here is, Forever Knight, Freaky Links and Millennium. Just a suggestion.

T-Bag'sGurl · 11-30-2008, 06:16 PM

For the tv shows you should add Jon and Kate plus 8 and parking wars.

jensensgirl3 · 02-04-2009, 04:00 PM

I have a problem with my one quizz I just did, I forgot to add some letters to the answers. How do I go by adding the A,B,C to my answers, is there a way I could or do you do it. Thanks.

I love looking at all the TV griffiti that people have made. If i really like an image i set it as my background for my computer. But I don't think i'd be brave enough to put one up myself. I really like playing the user quizzes and testing my knowledge on my favorite tv shows.

jensensgirl3 · 05-01-2009, 11:34 AM

I would like to know why I get error on page when I try to do the personal quizzes about the shows. I try to do them and I can't cause it keep saying error on page, can someone tell me why this is happening and how to correct it.

Is this still happening? I have let the tech team know and we will see if we can figure out what is going on. They might need more details. Can you email me more details or PM? Thanks
