Okay, I won't argue about this anymore, but I really don't see how this database system helps the forum's topic (and it is, after all, a thematic forum), but the harm it causes is quite apparent.

Well, I won't argue anymore

Then don't argue, because purely personal preferences are showing through - not an opinion based on facts.
It's also not worth appealing to or nitpicking what I said; I provided a link to the entire help page on the DB, where you read about those 25 posts - but I didn't claim that any player (even one with 1 post can click all DB) - I was merely answering a question like "what are the goals of the DB?"

Ergon

And you want to say that HP is somehow imperfect because it doesn't have DB?

I don't think it was said, though I do indeed think so.
Despite being registered both here and there, I mostly hang around here due to personal preferences, and all resources are imperfect.
Don't like the DB system - don't use it, it doesn't infringe on your forum or civil rights in any way.

No, on the contrary, it was only there that I wanted to play in all tournaments, if the right version 4 were available, I would have even participated in it. And there are a ton of those tournaments there.

You say that as if your parents forcibly signed you up for this site and don't allow you to hang around another one.

The system was of course conceived with good intentions, but it turned more into a measure of evaluating activity of spamming messages rather than something related to Heroes.

Add the phrase (in my opinion) in such sentences, as in the next one:

Ergon

And actually the forum itself is trending towards the name "Just Chat".

Let me provide some formal statistics
Out of approximately 215,000 forum messages, about 60,000 are in the "Everything About Everything" section, and that's normal, because the chat on HeroesWorld was disabled and daily one-line communication goes on there or not, but the specific is that messages there are not deleted... only if they contradict the HeroesWorld rules
And for example, in the online triple tournaments section alone there are about 17,000 messages and about 9,000 messages in the offline triple tournaments.
And how many messages discussing the game, etc.
You can't divide players by their closeness to the game, because some come purely to chat in the "Everything About Everything" section, others on the contrary never step outside the Heroes 3 online section. And they are all equal users of HeroesWorld, by the way, from the name it's clear that this is not a specialized resource - but a multifaceted one.

P.S. By the way, in the settings of the "Just Chat" section, the user message counter is disabled.

I have a suggestion. Currently, to change the DB, you need to have a DB of at least +25 and a quantity of at least 25. I don't meet these parameters yet. So, when I didn't know this, I tried to change the DB several times. The program told me that everything was fine, and I successfully changed the DB. ;) But in reality, that wasn't the case. :confused: It would be nice if the program at least once displayed an angry message that I'm not ready to change the DB yet. :D So, my suggestion is to make it so that if a person cannot change the DB, they should be informed about this when they click the "Influence the user's morale" button.

Absolutely correct. I had a similar experience before.

Overall, it's a good suggestion. Sometimes I receive "neutral" comments without any feedback, and that looks quite amusing.

I have a suggestion.
Currently, to change the BD (Battle Drive), you need to have at least +25 BD yourself and a minimum of 25 posts.
I don't meet these requirements yet.

Users who don't have 25 posts or 25 BD units can only leave comments using this system - it won't affect the numerical value of the Battle Drive. But the user whose Battle Drive you tried to increase will be able to read the comment.

By the way, can we bring back the hints that showed who increased/decreased the Battle Drive for a message (I mean, writing this in the corner of the message, like before)?

Users with less than 25 posts or database entries can only leave comments using this system – it will not affect the numerical value of morale. However, the user whose morale you tried to boost will be able to read the comment.

Captain K.O. is here, and he will gladly answer your questions.

Users with less than 25 posts or database units can only leave comments using this system – it will not affect the numerical value of morale. However, the user whose morale you tried to increase will be able to read the comment.

I suggest that in this case, the user should receive a message stating that the morale has not been changed, but only a comment has been left.
For example, this can be done by replacing the two radio buttons ("increase morale," "decrease morale") in the morale change window with a line that says, "You cannot change morale" for these users. Or, after changing the morale, display a message stating that the morale was not changed.
Otherwise, the user might think that they have changed the morale, and even see a message saying that the morale has been successfully changed after attempting to change it. But in reality, this is not the case. Why mislead users?
