Describes what the maturity levels on this site mean.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time" :-) // never really thought you guys would use them the crazy way you do; they were supposed to be like a second score (SCORE2) or something like that.

Can you elaborate on this? A screenshot would be awesome (use like imgur.com or something),

The new look is getting pretty close; if you guys want to test it out, visit this page and click [set render 2]. The new home page is kinda done as well. Feed back appreciated!

can anyone provide SPECIFIC instructions on how to reproduce this?

Press the [Home] button on your keyboard?

Oh, now that i thnk about it more... from a "strategic" standpoint, I think we do want active members --- even if they don't contribute beyond no-comment ratings and clicking the daily point. Reason being... they tell 10 of their friends how awesome the ste is, and eventually, we find the next great author through word-of-mouth.

You know, I don't think there was much thought into this when we came up with it... So, this this is mostly my 2c after thinking about it in response to the thread :-)

Didn't have much time to play around in the code tonite, but I made a couple quick fixes: fixed bullet and other odd forum post spacing toyed with new homepage and new storygame list pages a bit set Max Length on Subject line of forum posts to 50 instead of just chopping them off in the dataase

Ah, weird - there's a nightly job that runs to recalc ratings, so maybe it failed one night. If you do end up making some minor changes / updates and republish, then let me know and I can revert the publish date. That feature (reset all ratings) was designed to give authors a chance to improve bad ratings... not penalize them for fixing them for maintenance!

anyone else have this issue?
