Top Ten Suggestions to Improve TheTopTens

If you have any thoughts about ways to improve this site your input would be most welcome. As good as it is, it feels incomplete.
The Top Ten
1 Have an awards system for members who exceed in certain areas.

Or how about like a spotlight for the user or users achievement they have done for the past year would be a much greater suggestion kinda like oh the oscars in a way.

I do think this should I don't think #2 should happen and I think #1 should happen

I succeed at being unsuccessful. Give me the paradox award.

Or not exceed, like I could win least awards nominated.

2 Stop approving pointless lists.

"Best songs by ___ and ___, " "Best songs that have Crawl in the name, " "Best Linkin Park song with "The" in the title. " These lists are only created in an attempt to earn badges and serve no purpose, whatsoever.

Top Ten Users of TheTopTens starting with G in February 2019 who Make Pointless Lists.

Edit: I didn't think of any particular user.

Top ten best TheTopTens lists with the letter x in the title.

Best Linkin Park Song With "The" In the Title. Really... ?

3 Allow members who have shown to be on the side of the ethics of the site to help manage/moderate things.

This would help to speed up the process of cleaning up bad comments/suggestions and helping to make the site flow more smoothly.

You mean those who might have experience of comfort to others I see.

4 Remove/join two seperate lists that are for essentially the same thing.

Would it be crazy to mash both lists, and be able to have them both seen on the same screen? That seems impossible, but that might be asking for too complicated of a suggestion.

Yes. 'Worst Popular anime' & 'most overrated anime' are basically the same

I see too many lists that have more than one list for the same cause.

Yeah, like Top ten movies, best films, Greatest movies etc

5 A Chatroom

that would be pretty sweet :), because I LEFT thetoptens for awhile COS of A CHATROOM... google "Chatroom 24/7" and click on the first one, and make a nickname for yourself, and IF we are on at the same time, chat with me ;)

I don't like chatrooms. Everyone tries to do different conversations but they all get in the way of each other. It's very likely I'll never use it if it comes here.

I'd be a societal reject here too, yay! (Hides behind my Wings of Fire book and cries in the corner)

I wouldn't mind a chatroom and I don't know why one hasn't been added yet.

6 Create a TheTopTens app

With sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram all having mobile apps... is there a working for TTT's perhaps?

So you can get notifications when you get comments on your post or list!

I would download it in a heartbeat if it was announced.

I don't really think it's a good idea. I'm sorry.

7 Improve the search system.

Just a protip: You can put quotation marks of a word so that the search system gives you more specific results.

They also didn't have to take a search system if I wanted to look at all 3,000 of my lists.

How? This isn't very specific at all.

This was improved recently.

8 Add More Things to the Profile Editor

Like make personal lists (My Top Ten Favorite...) or let you change it after register.

Favorite books, cars, website, drinks, etc.

Favorite books.

9 A Forum

The forum was removed way before most users on the site joined because nobody would use it. If the forum still existed today, it would probably be used more because there are more users now and they would all like to use it a lot.

If I have to recall, a forum did exist back in the day, but was closed due to inactivity. If it was opened now, there would be tons of activity on there

Absolutely! Back in the day they used to have this, but was taken down by the time I did comeback in 2014.

I'm still waiting for this to be re-added.

10 An option to remove lists

I don't think it's going to happen as the admins are pretty clear about the fact that no lists would be deleted. Also, we just have to accept that whatever we post, it's gonna stay on the internet forever

Yes. This needs to happen.

The Contenders
11 Random List button

Apparently they added this feature (not sure what date). If you go to "all lists" and pick a category, there's a button "Top" just on the right below the search bar, click on that and on the bottom section and click "random". Now, if you scroll to the very bottom of the page, you should see a refresh button that randomizes the lists again. I'm pretty sure most of you didn't know this, but yeah they should've made this feature easier to access.

I have now suggested this to Admin. They said there is not Immediate plans for this, but it could become a feature sometime in the future. Does anyone know if that's really going to happen?

I never thought of this, but it's actually an excellent idea. Then the lists nobody bothers to search for could be seen by people.

This could help give attention to Completely invisible lists... Like mine

12 Not to allow items to be voted for more than once by the same user.
13 Let us delete our comments or edit them

This item isn't relevant anymore - when I joined in the end of 2014, this option was already available.

Looking back at my old comments, I'm sometimes tempted to give myself a thumbs down.

Nowadays, we already are able to do this.

14 Be able to add comments on remixes

It would be cool if you could comment on someone's remix for discussion on if they disagree or not

Just like blog posts, be able to enable/disable comments.

Yep... which is why we need more users to make ''remixes great again! ''

15 Remove underage children from sexual lists

I've tried multiple times to have a 15 year old girl named JoJo Siwa removed from "best butts" and "celebrities you want to see naked" lists. Unsurprisingly, this site does nothing.

This definitely needs to happen it is really sad these keep getting added.

16 Allow users to express their opinions about users they don't like

I makes me sad that the dislike buttons where removed. Admin should get rid of his policy rn.

17 Have a side section to each vote for people to be able to argue why they disagree with said vote

It would be a section that could house as many comments as necessary but these comments would not be visible on the same page. I feel that it would allow people to be able to judge better why something is where it is placed.

yeah some people just blindly vote and have no clue what they're talking about

Meaning a reply I'm taking it?

18 Ban fetish lists
19 Have a section for all things anime

A section for me to avoid.

20 When making a list that has already been made, the maker can be informed before submitting the list if the list already exists if it doesn't show on the 'has your list been submitted' box

Well as long as they go to the person, and have a mutual agreement no harm no foul.

21 Take votes that can be categorized together and join them with the accumulative votes.

I sometimes see in a list that the same thing can be mentioned more than once and if they were combined, they would probably be higher in the list. Maybe even no. 1.

You mean what the standard use to be when you're vote would count, and something would actually move up.

22 Show how many people have voted in total for each list.

I think that this would give a better idea to users as to how accurate the list may be. Maybe some sort of system can be devised to give an accuracy rating percentage for each list instead based on such things?

It could be like YouTube, showing how many views of the video, only this time it is showing how many votes are on a list.

We do this anyway. I like this feature as it indicates the reliability of a list,

23 Add a way to search/organize our personal lists.

Whether that alphabetically then as well... a way of learning the alphabet in a complicated way.

That would be great.

24 Allow comments on non-votable lists

Non-votable lists can be very useful in some cases and I would use them more often if I had the option "Allow comments" - Yes/No. Currently people can't vote and can't comment on these lists but some authors may want to allow comments. The authors should have this option and decide whether to allow comments or not.

25 Place the "Search List" option at the top of the page

I added this item because currently the "Search List" option is at the bottom of the page. It would work much better at the top.
1) When we add items to long lists (often our own lists) we have to go through the "Search List" Option in order to add every item. With the "Search List" Option at the bottom it's very annoying - too much unnecessary scrolling.
2) When we vote on a long list we have to scroll down again to find the item we wanna vote for via the "Search List" option. Maybe I don't wanna see all 20 items on the 1st page because I wanna vote for an item that's at #223 and I will find it by using the "Search List" option. But again, the "Search List" option should be at the top of the page to avoid the unnecessary scrolling.

Or keep the Search List for users like myself if they wanted to revisit old, and forgotten lists that are hard to remember overtime.
