Max comments for profiles.

[Drikon Rjelavan]

i think this would help saving space + as "server" is lagging it would allso help with this problem via putting maxium mount of comments saved as ppl use it for chatting.
thats what i think would help muchos anyway.

i mean as profiles save every comment done and some iw seen have over 100.000 comments even if it wont tanke lots of space they will still keep adding on to each selves
as you cant delete your own older comments

Re: Max comments for profiles.

You mean something like the profile votes? I'm not sure if that will help with server lag considering that profile comments are broken down into sections.

With that in effect, you only load up a few comments when viewing a profile. The rest is kept away in the "older comments" section of the profile.

Re: Max comments for profiles.

and true its in pieces but even it will add up bit weight out there no matter how small it is looking that ~1.5mil accounts and so on.
but still its just slight suggestion nothing big.

Use the edit button if you need to add something and prevent double posting. Yes I know your talking about profile comments, I was bringing up profile votes because it's basically what your suggesting. Only like the last 10 are viewed while the rest are banished.

As for the total user accounts, hardly half of them are even active. Sure comments can add up, but a few text and low res pics is nothing compared to something like the simfile database. A good amount of megabytes are uploaded by it everyday, so limiting profile comments aren't really going to do much IMO.

Re: Max comments for profiles.

The point is that all of that text is being stored -somewhere- and when you consider the volume of people who use profiles like a myspace and have whole conversations back and forth on the comment wall, you can't tell me that the volume of text saved isn't actually quite large.

That said, I'm not entirely convinced that it's a problem, and I'm pretty much positive that it isn't contributing to lag in any way, since as was mentioned above, very little of it is accessed for display at any given time, but it might not be a bad idea to do a major cleanup every now and again.

I've noticed that banned users still have visible profiles with most of the data intact. Surely deleting the comment walls and random thoughts of everyone with apermanant account ban would be something doable, and even limiting the comment walls to some reasonably large number wouldn't necessary be a bad thing.

I agree. There should be a clean up every now and then. I got tired of deleting my comments so there should be a little box that says "delete all comments" or a page. Just a little suggestion that has been brought up a lot in the past.
