We understand that Stormy, so we try not to totally bug about some things lol. But, it would be nice if maybe someone suggests something that "isnt going in the sites direction" that someone say "That would be a great suggestion, but at this time, Eden doesn't see this being part of our plans" or something like that.

Like the fact that I keep asking for the massage stones. I know I have placed that suggestion on tons of threads. Yet, no one has said anything to me about this. I have even run a poll and several folks wanted it too. But, nothing was said by admin about whether it is doable or not.

If I knew that the staff didn't see this as being something that was possible or something that the staff didn't plan on bringing to the site, it would be nice to know so I can stop suggesting it LOL.

The "good ideas" or doable things are being responded to, but I think too, that some of the "Not so doable" things should also be responded to so that we know what direction the site IS going in. Ya know? Is this something that you can talk to the staff about and maybe implement so that we can stop begging for certain items, and look ridiculous because we're being so persistent and its not going to happen? lol. Thanks Stormy! less

Hello everybody! Welcome to the Community Planning Thread! This is similar to our previous Community Planning Meetings, only instead of being limited to meeting twice a month, this thread will be available all month long for you to post in. It will go up the same day the first planning meeting of each month would have, the first Thursday!What's it for you ask? Well, we want you to have a chance to let us know what you think of the community and how it's going. Do you have something that you think needs to be changed? Ideas for how to make something better? Curious about hosting a workshop or something similar? Bring it here! Bounce ideas around with each other, and keep conversation going! We'll be watching and participating in this thread each month, so your ideas and thoughts will be seen.If you like, you can read through some of our previous meetings to get an idea of what kinds of things you can bring up, or just have fun reading about the things we've talked about!CPM: April - 2012 - Almost all of the suggestions made in this month thread requiring changes in programming and thus time to get implemented but all suggestions have been noted and administrators will be discussing them in the next couple of weeks to see what we can get rolling in the near future. CPM: March - 2012) - First, month long thread to discuss your ideas which include requests for a different style of sorting features for the forum to filter out discussion types or users, update the forum categories, easier search requirements for assignments, and the option to filter what shows on your wall. In addition to those requests, there were also requests for the ability to sort people you are following by who is currently online and who is not, forum moderation to purge/delete/merge threads, and the option to not a view a contributor's activity at all but still follow them. Where we are as of March 31st, 2012: Requests have been noted, and due to an overwhelming response from the community Edenfantasys has instituted a Forum Moderator and updated the Expectations of Conduct. Please become acquainted with the new guidelines!CPM: 02.16.2012 - Another short meeting. I announced a few changes in how some of the meetings were going to go. - SamCPM: 02.02.2012 - A very short meeting, we discussed some of the new features from the update. CPM: 01.19.2012 - We spent most of the meeting discussing the new photo uploading feature. CPM: 01.05.2012 - We discussed things that have been brought up in the past and what their status was, and also things we could do workshops on. Meetings from 2011Meetings from 2010 less

Howdy!!!

I know, I know... you can turn on the alerts in your EF email to notify you in your regular email. BUT... am I the only one who goes yay! I've EF mail, delete my yahoo email that tells me that, get's back to work thinking I'll check it later, get home... and forget???

Then when you sign onto EF, there is no little notifier on the homepage, but there is the number of points, assignment cart and these two things follow you to each page.

So my question is... is it possible to get a little icon or a little "1 Mail" at the top of the page near the Assignment Cart??? less

i had an idea about point farming and comments. sites like dailykos and others have a system where a person may vote up a comment, similar to "liking" it on facebook. The idea is that commenters get points NOT for commenting, but for how well received their comments are. For example, one point for every like. This way, a more helpful comment will receive more likes than a useless one and the thoughtful commenter will earn more points, even when not on the site. Such a system would reward effort and thoughtfulness over simply typing and clicking.

Caps on points per comment will probably have to be established, but should be higher, to reinforce the quality over quantity idea. perhaps put the cap at 10 or 20 points. Also, if someone posts more than 5 comments per day (although it could be any number, 5 is an example) that 6th comment cannot accrue points, so the number of comments per day is also capped.

The one fear I have is that it will encourage posters to become like politicians making posts they know will rile up supporters of an issue and earn them plenty of points. still, that at least involves thought, which is better than the point farming.

just an idea. less

I agree that this would be worthwhile; some of us--okay, many of us--continually post the same requests month after month. Even a, "We're working on it," comment would be better than nothing because we could stop beating a dead horse continuously.

Like, if you're never going to get new Liberator swag in, I can stop bemoaning the lack of Zeppelin. Or if you know that in two months you'll have all new storage pouches, I can stop pouting about the lack of options. less

I was afraid of that. That's disappointing, but not entirely surprising.

I've been procrastinating purchasing the Zep from work but I guess if we won't ever have them here...

Are you able to disclose why? (like, is it a space thing or is it about demand or is it just the propriety nature of Liberator?) Also, can you shed any light onto the *sob* Liberator Throe deficiency? Are all Liberator products slowly disappearing (i.e. do I need to buy them now or will they be here forever?) less

We never like to say "no" at Eden, but sometimes it's a necessity.

Ok here's what's going on around here:

- The mentor program needs some serious tweaking.
- The forums need some serious tweaking.

Those are the two biggest issues we're dealing with right now. So, if you want to brainstorm some ideas and either post them here or email them to me, we will look into it and see what can be done. I cannot make any promises on those ideas actually coming to life, but we're interested in hearing what you have to say. less

1. How about recognizing Rumble winning reviews, something like putting a small ribbon indicating that the review won a Rumble?

2. I mentioned this before, but I would love a database of what reviewers own what toys. When I'm looking at items, there's usually 2 or 3 that I'm interested in. It would be super helpful to be able to go to a list and see what reviewers own all of those items. Personally, I own way more toys than I have reviewed, so simply looking at reviews doesn't always help. It could be a simple system where reviewers add items to their own personal list, something like how favorites are added to our personal pages. less

Just wondering - I submitted a ticket about this recently but I'd like to get it double-confirmed...

Are you guys lining up new stock for a more varied BDSM lineup? Like more 'hardcore' stuff, or a bigger selection of cuffs/whips/etc? I'm kind of biding my time to make any big purchases at this point because that's the #1 thing I want to buy from here, and it would be great if the other people who are interested could get a solid yes/no answer on it. :3 less

I had posted a comment about the forums on the other thread (god help me, now I can't find it again LOL). It was in response to somethng that Gary had mentioned about the "Spammy posts" from the Discussions tabs on the product pages? (I think thats where he was going with it anyways.)

My idea was that instead of having the "Start a Discussion" area on the product page, have something like "FAQ" link. That FAQ will send them to the forums, and make like a search for that particular product. This will 1.Help that person to see all the discussions on that product and 2. Inform them of the forums and let them see that there ARE forums here.

I think that if it goes straight to a search page of that product, the person can sift through the questions already asked (possibly get their answer and avoid them re-posting something that has already been asked or suggested) OR they can click on a "Can't find your answer here?Start a discussion" underneath or at the bottom of the page. This would probably cut back on a ton of spammy posts or "duplicates".

I know that when I was new, I had no idea how to access the forums or that there were forums (at first). So, when I had a question or thoughts about a product, then I would use the Start a Discussion feature on the product page. Im sure that everyone seen me as being spammy in the beginning because I was posting stuff everyone had already seen a bazillion times. But, had I known about the search feature and the forums, I would have been able to see that first, before posting something spammy.

Just a thought Hope this helps! less
