The only extra task right now is editing the Super Power scores.
DarkProdigy is the only one with this role. To keep it all consistent he's the only one to edit these scores right now. (And me of course).
*MAYOR UPDATE*
The version 2 stats are now the default stats. The v1 stats are removed from all pages, except the character profile page.
The battle page has been updated; you can now switch between the SHDb stats and uStats on 1-vs-1 battles.
*Update for Mods+*
The character edit page now has a quick-edit options for what I call 'Identification'; Name, Real Name, Publisher and Universe.
You don't have to add the character to your edit list first.
I'm updating the User Role Rights system for editing things.
A small first step in this is that Mods can now update Super Power profile images.
More edit options coming very soon!
*Update*
- Stats; Stats that are lower than 20 won't be rounded to the nearest 5 anymore.
- Stats v2 Powers have a corresponding colour of the level chosen (grey, blue, purple)
- User Activity page now shows your edits
I kinda messed up a bit.
I accidentally removed some of the battle variations with custom info from the last few days. No backup either. Shame on me.
:(
*Update*
Removed about 200 collections.
Lists I removed;
- Lists with less than 3 items.
- Lists created by banned users.
- Inactive users (not logged in for over 2.5 years)
*Not deleted, but hidden. Can be brought back on request.
*update*
After adding a character to your edit-list, you can directly start editing from there using the new 'edit profile' button.
No need to go to your edit-list page.
That was a frustrating hour or so.
I was trying to delete some redundant pageview data (±30 million records) , but that crashed the whole database. After chatting with the support guy it got resolved, after an extra reboot.
It clears up a lot of space and shouldn't be an issue for the next few years.
*Yet another HUGE update*
ALL characters are now unlocked for editors. Yes, you can now update Superman, Spider-Man, Thor, etc.
Please also add the v2 stats!!
*IMPORTANT Update*
Everyone can now edit the characters that they've requested (and were approved).
For those who are new to editing;
- Go to the profile of a character you can edit.
- Click on the (purple) Edit in the Profile-menu
- Click 'Add to Edit'
- Go to Abbs (User Menu)
- Click 'My Edits'
- Click the character you want to edit.
This sounds like a lot of steps (and will be made easier), but you'll get the hang of it real quick.
You can have a maximum of 3 characters in your edit list. When done editing, click the 'remove'-button on the 'My Edits'-page.
*Update*
- Notifications update;
You are now getting realtime notifications for direct replies, messages and @mentions.
It will show up as a number on your Avatar in the menu bar.
*update*
Updated the uStats.
There was a bug that saved duplicate entries. That would cause all stats turn into 0 when saving, you might have encountered it.
This has been fixed, but it's possible that you've lost the selected Super Powers.
To make it easier for everyone to check, I'll make a 'My uStats'-page that lists all your uStats. It will be up in about an hour or so.
*Update*
Updated the User Battle-page;
- Removed the red background color
- Changed the 'hotness' score design, added different colors
- You can now order by; votes, comments, faves and hotness
*Update*
- You can now upload PNG images
- Cards of OCs will show a blue user-icon
- Deleted a bunch of characters yesterday. People still create copyrighted OCs and it's getting really tiring to have to keep removing them. Just stop it already or it's going to be a '1 strike, you're out'-system. Out of creating OCs, that is.
*Update*
I've added a Notification tab to your user page. This will show all direct replies on your comments and shows dm messages since the last time you've logged out.
At this point it's in a pretty basic form, but it will have more features in the future. This is the first step in the right direction when it comes to notifications.
Yes. Only the original commenter will get a notification.
This is just the very first simple version of the notifications. More features will be added. More on that later.
*Update*

Who said the user score is 'so' important?
It helps people do things on the website. People like to be awarded for things. That's what the score is for. To see how much you've contributed to the website.
I won't go into the specifics of the calculation right now, but the main idea is; the more effort it takes to do something, the more points you get.
Commenting won't get you points, though. So no need to spam.
@Dark_Wing; By doing things, like; create and vote battles, request new items (characters, objects, locations), upload images, etc. @Bane333: Go to your main profile page, it shows '33K'. That's your current User Class.
*Update*
