    Davyc got a reaction from The Old Man in "Kindness" plugin   
    Therein lies your problem. 'you think it would enhance your forum' - have you asked your members what they think of this solution towards politeness?  After all, asking on here is one thing and you have had your responses from a few who have taken the time to respond, but what about your members? They are the ones who are going to have to live with this if you are able to implement it.  I believe their feedback would be more valuable to you than any on here.
    As for this idea to stop people in their tracks and make them think before they post, it has the potential to stifle their desire to respond; emotions and passion are essential to good debate, these elements are what 'make people think' - this doesn't mean they have to be offensive, that's what your rules are there for, to remind them what is and isn't permissible. If anyone steps over the line, then you and your moderators are there to step in and do the job you're there for.  You have an inbuilt warning system, use that instead of penalising the many for the transgressions of the few.
    Personally, if this was implemented in the core and it was not optional, I would go elsewhere for my community software.  I would not impose this on my members, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, it's your site, your forum, you do as you think best, but this is definitely not for the core, ask a developer to make this plugin/app for you, but I really would ask your members first if they believe this to be a good idea.  Do a poll, so they don't even have to say what they think 🙂

    I reckon you are looking to create a Utopian type site where all negativity is banned regardless of whether it's warranted or not.  It akin to "I like your point of view, as long as it's my view too".  Good debate is rarely polite or kind, the essence of rationalised negativity promotes thought and often refers people to re-evaluate their stance in whatever the debate is about.  If you remove that element, then you will just have a site full of sheep with no room for the occasional bad egg and everyone who has a different point of view will be barred from asserting their views. I doubt that I would appreciate being a member of such as site and this opinion would most likely see me being penalised as it could be viewed as being unkind 😉
    On the process of asking for such a plugin, this topic would be better placed in the Marketplace Customisation Requests forum.  This not something I believe would sit well in the core whether it was optional or not; there are more imaginative ideas for core features.

    If you want a positive place you make it with how you handle things and people.
    Adding a barrier to posting IS a nuisance for all. People get annoyed having to accept a Terms of Service in the first place and now you want to make them accept it EVERY TIME THEY POST!? That's ludicrous and will only earn ire of "Why do I have to do this every time?" and "Is there a way to auto check this so I don't have to do it every time I post? Everything I say is kind," sort of complaints and asks from your members. You will also get people asking "Why do you need this?" and "Where did my post go?" because they posted and clicked away to go do something else and forgot the check box.
    If you want it, get it commissioned. There is no reason for this to be in core now or in the future.

    Remove the requirement to review when someone just wants to rate.  People are more likely to rate if they are not required to review but will not write a review just so they can rate.  This is for the pages app - or anywhere else where rating takes place that requires anything other than just giving a rating.
    I managed to negate this, but had to jump through hoops to do it, whereas as simple option in the settings would negate the need to do this.  My members can now rate without having to review.
    With thanks

    Read nuisance and people will check it and STILL not give two damns about it. Its a barrier for posting and NOTHING more.

    Agreed the template is nice - just waiting for any clean up @Jimi Wikman performs to see how things change.
    One question to ask Jimi - the rating circle, is that your own rating or is it the rating taken from TMDB?  If it's your own, is there a way in your template that it could be pulled from TMDB?
    I reckon you could work well with @Adriano Faria in terms of styling.
    Great work @Adriano Faria for making such a sweet app and to @Jimi Wikman for doing some restyling for those of us who like movies and want to share with others 🙂

    @Davyc it is my own rating. You can use that for the official rating if you like as well as it has a field connected to it that you can put the value from the ratings instead. If we get the official rating as a field later I might add a second circle to show my rating and the official ratings.
    ...and I updated my article this morning with a cleaned up code, so you can check it out if you like 🙂

    Remove all the previous commands and add all of these. It's been a while since I had to do this but I remember that there were quite a few commands to add and some template changes and since the introduction of the core app things have changed again, but all of the below works fine in the browser console so should work in real time when added 🙂
    .threadStarterMoreContainer { background: #f7fafc !important; } .threadStarterMoreSmall { background-color: #f7fafc !important; } .threadStarterMoreSmall:before { background: none !important; } End result is this:

    More button clicked:

    You would have to do that in the templates, I had the same issue with the 'more' button, but it's quite a number of templates that need adjustments; not so simple as posting a CSS code.
    Add this to your custom CSS as well as the one I posted originally, that should do the trick in changing the background color 🙂
    .threadStarterMoreSmall { background-color: #ffffff !important; }

    Add this to your custom CSS file:
    .threadStarterMoreContainer { background: #ffffff !important; } You can change the color to anything you prefer, but the example above is white 🙂
    I have a feeling that this may just be happening when the 'more' option is available as it uses a different container.  I had the same issue with the movies version.

    There is no legitimate reason anyone or any organization should be using IE. If you have users stuck on it, that sucks, but it’s akin to having users tell you they unfortunately are stuck on 14.4k dialup and find the site loads too slowly. 
    IE is dead. Let it Rest In Peace.

    Not sure if you're aware but you can do this - it's in each of the category sections so you can create a forum for each category and then each forum will automatically generate an entry for a movie or TV Show.  You need to create the forums first.
    Are you able to share what you've achieved in terms of the layout?
