Visiting RallyPoint HQ as an 'internship' (AIAD) through West Point. What are some changes we can make here in order to best meet user needs?

What about a digital resource section? Free for members and research - Regs, retirement benefits, forms and such.

First and foremost, find a way to use our iPhones in the same manner as my PC. Depending on the search engine and platform, it's different. May not be in your court, but annoying. Tighten up on the verification process, many of the most vocal posters are not verified. Got more, but that is a start.

I'd like to see a greater emphasis on creating incentives for members to become verified. Either unverified members need to have access to fewer features (stick approach), or verified members need access to more features (carrot approach). RP could even do a combination of the two. That will hopefully motivate people to submit evidence for verification. That might help reduce some of the trolling on the boards, as well as the frequent appearance of fake Generals/Admirals and SF/SEALs/Snipers. A good initial step would be not displaying the ranks and limiting the posting ability of unverified members.

Welcome to RP, and best of luck in your internship!

Unverified users can't post or comment.

Cadet LT Private RallyPoint Member RallyPoint is a great resource for potential recruits to find out about the adventures and challenges that will face them. Encouraging more potential recruits to join RallyPoint would be a good thing.

Used to be a way to filter through conversations to find what you wanted...I don't want to sound snobby, but I am seeing lot of posts from non military members such as mothers. I thought this was a place for vets and ad only?

I'd like the ability to set my homepage like it was MySpace, and then haze my subordinates into doing outrageous things to vie for a place in my top eight spaces. That's just me though. Verification is cool, too. I guess.
