Website Updates: July-August 2018

Hello, friends!

The past two months have brought changes to the site and have been eventful.. But let's go in order:

- Information about who rated a comment
Added the ability to see who gave a plus/minus to comments (previously this was only available for reviews). To see it - hover over the plus or minus, and the tooltip will show "Liked/disliked by .. people" and a "Detailed list," which is a link.

- Complaints about comments
Added the ability to report a comment, just like with reviews. A lot of comments are posted daily on the site, and moderators cannot always quickly notice comments that violate the rules (plus a comment can be edited after being reviewed by a moderator). So if you notice a comment that breaks the rules - don’t hesitate to report it. To report - hover over the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the comment, and the tooltip will have a "Report" button. Together we will make the site cleaner!

- A material can now be in multiple categories simultaneously
The main news: a material can be placed in several categories at once, for example, the fire truck Kamaz-53212 was originally added to the "Special Equipment" section, but it didn’t stop being a truck. Now this misunderstanding has been fixed.
Moreover, it was logical to improve the search system - now you can search across multiple categories at once, and choose whether materials must be in all selected categories or just any of them. Thus, the search now also functions as a filter. Want to see all tractors that are specifically tracked? Please: you can leave the search field empty, but select the game, a couple of categories, and specify that the material must be in each of the selected categories - https://stmods.ru/search.php?search_request=&partition=mudrunner&partition2=tractors,tracked&p_type=and
And yes, there is a lot of work ahead to add existing materials to multiple categories as needed..

As always, if something suddenly breaks - please contact us: https://stmods.ru/feedback.php

- Changes in site policy
Also, in a moment of haste, we almost closed a couple of sections on the site due to authors who regretted sharing their mods for the benefit of the community and demanded their removal.
Result: the community loses mods and authors - more than 100 mods were deleted at the authors’ request (the main complaint from authors is that they are against modifications of their mods), the site policy has been changed in favor of original materials, and the bad guys promote themselves by riding on STMods’ popularity (to be fair, this also promotes STMods itself).

Thank you for being with us!
