View Full Version : [Suggestion] Ban popups alltogether.

Why?
On around 10% of computers, ones with certain screen sizes / dimension settings the popup will appear at the bottom of there screen, often cutting off the optional close popup bit.

What rule does this break?
Basically its force voting, because the person is unable to click anywhere but the vote link in order to access the site, forcing players who often might not want to vote, to vote.

Proof
Heres one example of it, posted by Mod Anthony.



Then explain this:
View Video (Only the registered members can see the link.)



Overall I think it would be best if all websites just stopped using them, it would cut down on alot of these reports and confusion, cut back on forced votes and perhaps help out server owners by making there websites a bit more user friendly.

I have one on my site, it goes to the middle of the screen, and doesn't block anything. See Here (Only the registered members can see the link.).

The popups are fine for me, I just hate the way it has such a short timer on many websites.
Some shit websites have this "Remind me in 30 seconds" button, some "Remind me in 30 minutes" (just examples). It's so annoying and pretty much forcing them by annoying the players.
Remind me tomorrow would be the best imo.

10% is a small percentage, also, this happened to me when i went on my forums when i was at school (during business class)
i'd just click on the banner and since its not possible to vote on school computers, i'd just close the window, ta-da its gone for rest of day + didn't have to vote

10% is not small, if a server got 2000 votes one month, 200 of these being forced can make a big difference.

You should add a rule about time about 30 minutes or an hour. Even though most of the server owner will start complaining.

Im sorry this isn't about peoples intelligence.

And no, not all RSPS PLAYERS know how to program java, very few in fact.

Plus not all know how to zoom out or will know that zooming out will help them to close the popup.
