Hi,

Trakt is growing bigger and bigger, with the new v2 it's obvious that you guys are a little bit shortstaffed.

It isn't easy to manage 800k users and this huge pile of data with 10 people or something like that. hence, there is a need for external voluntary help.

For example, you have GoodReads, it's a huge social network for books, it relays on a 'librarian' system where people can apply to be a 'librarian', a librarian can add books and edit current ones, add posters and stuff like that, then there's superior librarians who have more power and are selected by the amount of work they put in the website... etc, i think you get the point.

Here in Trakt, a moderator of the community will be able to merge duplicate items, moderate comments (inapropriate, gibberish, non-engish ones), deal with reports (if you implement a report system), and generally be a go between the managers of the website and the normal users (it's better than to answer all of the tickets yourself, Justin, eh?)... and stuff like that

to apply for this position you need to have at least x edits in TVDB or TMDb and be a user for at least x years... or something like that (to make the selection process easier and attract quality).

I love this website and I'd love to contribute to it, and I'm sure there are some people who would gladly do the same.

Hi TrackTV team,

I know I'm onto a topic that have been discussed already, and I'm trying the shed a new light here, my apologies if this has been already discussed also.

I'm seeing more and more rating on episode that have not been released yet, which is annoying (because it is not very smart) but mostly it is biaising the overall rate of a tv show (unless it gets loads of votes), hence degrading the trust a user can have of TrackTV ratings.

I have seen several other requests that have been denied but none pointing out the negative impact on ratings and user trust. This could also be handled by banning early rater from rating a new show for example ?

Many thanks for your help

Trakt relies a lot on TVDB for shows. Sometimes TVDB has duplicates which eventually get fixed. But when that happens, these dupes are still available on Trakt.

I suggest coming up with a notification system that warns when a show has a TVDB entry disappear. Who would get notified? Well, mostly you guys, since you're the ones with the ability to remove dupes. Maybe you could also add a warning on the show page that the TVDB entry is gone and that Trakt admins are investigating.

This might cut down on dupes and the constant reports about them.

Note: this implies that shows on Trakt auto-refresh periodically, otherwise the disappearance of a TVDB entry will never be noticed. I assume that is the case.

TL;DR: If I've viewed some episodes from season 1 and some from season 7, let me choose my "next episode" to default to the earliest unwatched episode (season 1) rather than the current default of the latest (season 7).

Shows without a plot (i.e. documentaries, sketch shows, etc.) are quite often watched out of order. For example, here's my viewing of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.

As you can see episode 3x03 is "up next" but I still have quite a few episodes before it in season 1 and 2 to watch. The true "next" episode for me to watch is episode 1x10.

I'm not sure if it's feasible to have the option to roll back the "up next" to the earliest unwatched episode in a series instead of the latest, but it would be quite helpful.

Thanks!

I've written a rather short summary of my thoughts about the comments in v2 of trakt here: https://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/7325147-a-little-feedback-about-comments

Now, this was closed at the end of April with the comment saying the not finished, other things you'd "cover" in other tasks. So, 8 months later and nothing more happened.
There's an even older suggestion about "community moderators" here: https://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/6955017-idea-community-moderators
That one is from January with a "Long Term" label.
While I do not agree with the suggested application requirements, I still do think trakt definitely needs moderators for comments.
And with moderators a way to message people directly. That would be nice for every user anyway but without moderation / a report function private messages are rather bad to offer, hence they probably don't exist in the first place.

After all these months of hard work, bringing v2 up to speed, I do think there's time to get your hands dirty on this specific topic now.

Take this user for example: https://trakt.tv/users/espectador30
He's written over 200 comments in non-English within one year despite your rule that "Failure to follow these rules will suspend your commenting abilities". For now there seems to be no enforcement on the rule whatsoever and that remark is perhaps only for future reference.
But that user is no exception. Here and there a lot of non-English comments are made (surprisingly a lot of Spanish ones).
But even if one would be willing to report him, or anyone who for example writes only spoilers or insults others, you'd have no idea how to go about this that the person is a) punished and that b) respective comments are dealt with.

For reporting comments, you've got this suggestion already: https://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/6059042-report-comments
It's from June, 2014 with a reasearch label before v2 was released.

Anyway, moderators and/or reporting comments and enforcing the comment rule is finally in order.
Or simply a publicly known way to report these people who do (constantly) violate rules.

Can you in addition to selecting your timezone actually set what country you watch in and then pull the appropriate air dates of episodes in from tv rage/thetvdb.

E.g. I live in the UK so 2 broke girls is 8 episodes behind but i'd like to be able to track it consistently with the UK so i'm not seeing episodes that need watching that haven't even aired yet (at least not locally).

An option to toggle this on or off for different shows (as some won't have relevant air dates - because tvrage/thetvdb hash't been updated or because it doesn't air locally would be ideal.)

Looked everywhere for this feature and as you've already incorporated it to some degree it looks more than feasible and would make your website hit a gap in the market.
