#BuildaBetterEden - Community Planning: May 2012 - Everybody welcome!

We're renaming the Community Planning Thread to something a little more palatable and not so Corporate Boardroom. Please vote!

Here's the thread to let your voice be heard!

Great ideas. I can't think of anything to add but good ideas for everyone to follow.

A idea to go with my last about the "Start a discussion" button on the review pages. Would it be possible to have any thread we start automatically be placed in our 'Favorite discussions' tab. Might help those folks that may be new to the forums find it? I know I forget to click on the orange heart from time to time.

The sooner the PU — think about that acronym for a moment — gets an upgrade, the better, I hate the forced 500x500 size on photos.

It's also very frustrating that once a photo is deleted from the product page, there's no way to get it back on without uploading it again (creating copies and taking up more server space).

Last nights PornClub meeting got me thinking, any parties being planed for the near future? Some shameless debauchery is needed.

Howdy!!!

I know, I know... you can turn on the alerts in your EF email to notify you in your regular email. BUT... am I the only one who goes yay! I've EF mail, delete my yahoo email that tells me that, get's back to work thinking I'll check it later, get home... and forget???

Then when you sign onto EF, there is no little notifier on the homepage, but there is the number of points, assignment cart and these two things follow you to each page.

So my question is... is it possible to get a little icon or a little "1 Mail" at the top of the page near the Assignment Cart???

Another request: Can Admin clearly show the Expiry dates on ALL the promotions, which include Special Sales Codes (i.e. Mother's Day) and Discount Sales; it would be REALLY helpful if Expiry dates are listed on the 'banners'.
One more thing, it'll be even better if Admin can include Expiry dates on our email alerts. Here's the poll showing people in favor of the Expiry date idea.

i would like to request that students be required to have a waiting period or some similar solution before dropping a class. too many instances have occurred where a student doesn't communicate to the mentor why they want to drop, and alot of work is put into the class and no compensation ever seen for it, on the mentor's end, simply because the student didn't attempt to communicate their issues with the class.

or something along those lines!


also that a mentor can get points for publishing a singular review with a student, and not just when they've graduated. too often a student drops a class after only 1 review has been published (or even not yet published but worked on for a significant period of time) and the mentor is then sitting with their peepee in their hand.


the mentor program really needs some work. i recently started mentoring again after months on hiatus due to getting dragged through the mud by students and never seeing any kind of retribution for it. i love mentoring students when they're actually taking my class for the purpose it was intended, and communicate with me honestly about their goals - but dang! the amount of no call/no shows, folks cancelling classes after i put in hours and hours of work only to have nothing to show for it, etc. just got out of control.


can we please take another look at the mentor program and try to come up to a solution for the abuse that's been taking place within it?

Is this a new thread or one that was "cleaned up"? LOL. I recall this thread having SEVERAL pages I thought.

I have become quite intrigued with the whole electro stimulation scene.
I was wondering if maybe we could have a section within the forums for "Electro Stimulation" like we have the BDSM? Have it be maybe a sub category within the BDSM section? I know that some of us may have tons of questions in this area, especially those of us that are just starting out with it.

Another Idea,and please let me know if this is something that Eden already does, Im still trying to get used to all the workshops and types of "parties/classes etc".

Workshops/Classes for Different Fetishes. This would be something that would be like "Bondage 101". Would go into what the fetish includes, products or toys that Eden carries that pertain to that fetish and also how to choose your own personal products. Beginner stuff such as "How to" and do's and don'ts. Safety and warning concerns.

I can honestly say that the whole bondage thing was a total turn off for me for years. Didn't want anything to do with it. Well, now I am starting to see some of these products that I really want (like some of the whips/floggers) but Im afraid to get one, because I don't know much about BDSM, I don't know what could hurt me-if it will hurt-how to choose a flogger that is going to be right for me-etc etc. Also, with Electro Stimulation, I have tons of questions and some concerns. I think that if these workshops could be put out there for those of us that are "on the fence" about a fetish or a certain "scene" or theme, that might just be the one thing that pushes us into saying "Yes, I want to go for this" and also help us to be able to choose the right product for us. No one likes messing with returns and no one likes buying stuff that they find isn't right for them and they'll only use once. So I think that these workshops could definitely help some of us.

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Obviously this would have to be something that would be tweaked and have other ideas added/taken out etc. But I thought this might be kind of cool to do or attend. I would be there with bells on~!

Now-Having said that about the workshops for educating about fetishes, I think that it would also be great to have classes about "Different orientations". I am SEVERELY confused when it comes to the phrases "What gender do you associate with" or "Ciswomen, Cismen?" Help! LOL. Theres about 6 different terms that I have never in my life heard of. I don't want to offend those folks out there that fit into these categories, but ignorance stops me from being able to word my discussions correctly without offending or leaving someone out. Maybe we could have a "Gender Association" workshop? Where things are discussed like the differences of what each one means and what not. Have a Q&A type thing?

Anyways, those are just some thoughts that rolled through my cranium lol. Interested to see what anyone else has to say about these ideas or if they're any good. Thanks!

Got another one

I was sorting through some of my wishlists this morning and I realized that I was having to relocate a ton of items that were either misplaced or I needed them in more than one wishlist. (Don't ask, Im ridiculously organized when it comes to my wishlists-I have to be otherwise its complete chaos when I go to order hahaha!)

Anyways, I was wondering if maybe we could get an option for moving things around. Either we could have some sort of drop and drag feature that would let us move one item from one wishlist, to a list or "folder" on the side of the page where all that white space is below the shipping instructions so that we could relocate wtihout having to right click, open in new tab, then readd it to the wishlist. Not that I am lazy or anything, but it gets tedious when I have so many windows or tabs open.

Or, maybe we could have drop down boxes just below the item in our wishlists. That way it would be like a "Move to" thing (kind of like what is in yahoo email) and it would relocate it there.

Just a thought.
