Contd from Part 1 ’General thoughts on MS’. Thanks for taking the trouble! And sorry for the wrong head :(
MS:Things I like...(contd)
8) Also Read: A new feature added by MS ..a few minutes before. Don’t know what am I talking about? Well, just take a look it at the bottom af this page!
9)The MS team: Faisal, Aarti, Jasmine and all others behind the working of such a lovely site. They surely deserve a big hand (clap, clap, clap :- ) ). They are doing a great job! I admire the way Faisal and Aarti personally reply to the mails sent to them and also how they tackle various issues raised. It isn’t very easy.
And last, but not the least…
10)MS members: Each and every single member at MS is responsible for making this site a wonderful experience. Though there may be a few exceptions, but I see that most members here are nice, friendly and decent.
Some Suggestions...
(The points mentioned are my personal views…Comments are welcome!)
1) The ’’Take a tour’’ is made wonderfully and I believe it is a MUST for every newcomer. It needs to be highlighted a little bit more so that it catches the attention of those who need the same. I’m sure it will help them to begin well, unlike me!
2) MS-points: It is definitely nice to see your points accumulating day by day; but if someone can let us know ….What do we do with those points?? it will be really appreciated. Again, the referral point system doesn’t seem to work. This has been pointed out earlier by other MS members too.
3) Referral ID: When a new member registers through the homepage ’’Join Free’’ link, the registration page does not ask for the ’Referral ID’….which may be a cause of the referral points not adding-up to the concerned member. It will be nice if the registration page is the same from all the links available for registration.
4) I noticed quite a few times that the ’’Review of the Day’’ especially on weekends remains unchanged…which means one review stays for 2 days. Something should be done about the same.
5) Zero-review members: At times, some people simply register at MS to send e-mails to the members. I have received quite a few proposals…..lol. If it’s the same with other MS members, I think we need to take it up too. Also, I’ve seen profiles where the number of reviews written stands at zero; but, the trust circle is ever-expanding!
6) MS Chat: How about a feature which shows which MS members are logged-in at the moment?? Live interaction or MS-Chat will make it even more interesting and will help more people to come closer. If it isn’t feasible to have it all round the year, then how about special sessions arranged by MS every month or so?
7) Star Writers: Some of Star Writers are dormant, I haven’t seen them writing or rating reviews in these last 50 days. Their pictures should be either taken off or programmed to appear less frequently. On the other hand, active and more deserving members should be put up there.
8) Feedback please? : I am not the first person suggesting some changes…..there have been many before. But, no point in simply adding those in your review and getting comments from the readers. If we have a feedback from Faisal/Aarti on the suggested points….then it will highly appreciated. (Is anyone listening??)
In conclusion...
With my 50 days here I’m extremely happy about the way things have been so far. I hope it will continue to be the same….infact, I hope it gets better and better. Let me conclude by saying…
