Please provide your feedback to YWN on feature improvements, technical suggestions, and other wonderful ideas the Y.W. Editor would be sure to appreciate hearing from his loyal fans!
How about a setting to change ones screen name. (It used to exist, but disappeared.)
how about closing the coffee room for good
I would like to see guidelines/rules for what can be said on this site. Also, sometimes things get posted, and then later deleted. Why were they posted to start with?
Will Hill, I’d think YW Editor would be a woman.
I do get a lot of laughs from reading comments here. I think spell-check is needed here.
i second ujm’s motion … i will be graduating this year (I’YH) and will need to change it, and am not a big fan of multiple screen names
Hire a bunch of additional moderators so comments post within a reasonable timeframe. (Especially for those of us outside the US of A, who have long no-post periods.)
on first screen of topics, “last poster” and “freshness” are not always accurate. for example, right now for this thread, it says: 7 posts(true); last post: shtultzy guy(not true); and freshness: one hour(not true). The last post I see here is “Bogen, 17 min ago”
For those asking for rules, please see the attached link
i think stronger censoring of lashon hara and general bashing would be great.
Jewess, FYI, the Editor is a man (I know him)
On the topics screen, in addition to the topic name and most recent post/poster, I’d like the listings to show when the first post in a thread was made, and by whom.
Simply not allowing comments on anything would be the best choice.
mommish
Took the words right off my keyboard.
thank you moderator for that link to rules. I suggest that it be more easily and obviously accessible, like maybe a link on the side. BTW, either due to more careful editing, or to maturing of posters, the tone of posts seems to be more pleasant and less angry, in general, the past few months.

I’m still relatively new here, and I really can’t imagine- how bad was it before???
How about spellchecking? So careless mistakes will get corrected and bad mistakes will not look so bad anymore…. Some errors are so ridiculous.
Suggestion:
More topics (before they disappear into the abyss).
Hhhmmm, cant think of anything 🙂
hmm…Maybe a shadchanim room or is this too public? or mabye YWN can come up w/ a way to make it like ride sharing where its a bit private?
Just added 10 additional threads to the front page. Now showing 40.
Enjoy, fellers….and behave yeerselvs 🙂

i have heard storys from my close freinds who were blocked can you please tell us your policies concerning getting blocked
is there a way to change your password
I would like to see an option for ONLY seeing the new posts appearing on the list, but not having to wade through the ones you already have read to get to the others. Even with “Latest Reply” you still might have to scroll through a long page or even two, because you haven’t yet read the ten other posts from before the latest one.
absolutly none! you guys do a great job!
I’d like a feature where we were e-mailed when someone replied to a topic we were subscribed too. Especially with news stories, it’s a shtickel annoying to have to keep checking back.
I agree with chaimss. That would be a very useful feature (email subscription to comments), and is easily implemented with a free WordPress plugin.
i third that motion!
(and no, i don’t know if that is proper english, but you get the point.)
Ditto! (well in this case, i ??fourth?? that motion??)
Editor, could we please have some feedback on all these suggestions? are any f them workable? thank you so much!
get a new “joke of the day” editor. 😉
and change the name to “joke of the week”
How about posting a timestamp in the coffee room instead of X days ago.
How about a banner advertisement on the front page of YW for the Coffee Room, since most reader of the main site overlook the Coffee Room link and don’t even know about it??
how abt update recent posts even late at night!!! no sleep for the weary!!!
BTW I have a tech problem w/YW. When I post to the main site (not the coffee room) it doesn’t show my screen name under my comment. Instead it says “Anonymous.” mariner mentioned he has the same problem.
I think it happens to whoever registered their screen name in the coffee room – the screen name appears on comments in the coffee room, but says Anonymous on the main site.
If someone registers a screen name on the main site, it shows up there as well as in the coffee room.
We are reading all of your input, and as soon as we get time will try and make everyone happy!
Anything else?
Now in return, the news room is in desperate need of a heater, a flat-screen, and this dial-up Internet just has to go! Anyone?
yw editor
i’ll sponser you guys the flat screen!!! where do you want me to ship it to???
Thank You Mr. Editor for hearing all these good suggestions, and helping everyone out by implementing them!
Here is something I think would be useful. If a moderator rejects a comment for whatever reason, send the poster an email with the original message so he could edit it so it is appropriate and he can repost it without the objectionable parts. If someone writes a whole megila of a comment and it never gets posted, the original poster doesn’t have a copy of his original message and may not want to type it all over (without the objectionable parts.) Also, maybe the moderator can include a note in the email why it was rejected.
If the moderator edits out the objectionable parts (instead of rejecting it outright) , which is actually a better idea if possible, then just out a little note where it was edited with something like “edited by moderator”. I don’t think it is necessary to make the poster feel bad by writing WHY it was edited for everyone else to see, the poster will get the hint anyways.
many times we delete the comment “why hasn’t my post been published” this can occur anywhere from 5 hours down to 5 minutes after the initial post was submitted. To take the time to send the post back with the objectional parts highlighed would be extremely time consuming.
sometimes we will edit a post with just the deleted by YW Moderator comment other times we delete post entirely.
sometimes, rarely, but sometimes a comment is added as to why the comment was deleted because the person submitting the objectional post did not get the hint after several deletions.
Did anyone already suggest adding new moderators to help things move along?
Can we get emails telling us why our comments got deleted or will that be too time consuming? Half my posts are in Cyber Heaven or Hell and I get confused by the things you guys choose to post or not post.
Jewess,
The rule of thumb is if its red, its a no-no.
Suggestion: Please dont close threads because topics have been covered in other places. Not always can everyone read every thread and often threads tangent off to other subjects and we may not know that it was covered elsewhere. Also different people have different viewpoints and clearer pictures emerge. There are enough obvious reasons to close threads so I dont see why this should be a reason. What does it bother you to have things repeated in other threads? When the subject has been fully covered (again), naturally it will peter out.
Many thanks!
I second Truehonesty.
I think threads have been closed too quickly lately.
how about if we could see who’s on? and especially if we could see when there’s a moderator online.
well said brooklyn19!!! i second that!!!!
brooklyn19 this is not the jewish version of facebook!!
