In the on deck and progress sections, setting to "recently aired" will sort correctly by which show had the most recent episode, but it'll show an episode that is not next-to-watch for me.

For example, if I have a weeks worth of episodes for several shows, it sorts properly, but as soon as one show airs another episode (without being watched yet), the "on deck" will show me the latest, effectively skipping the correct next episode to watch.

Ideally, I'd like a reverse-direction sort of "previously aired" for on deck, showing only my personal next-to-watch episodes sorted by their air date.

What i find really annoying with using trakt, is the way you have to seperate shows or movies into seperate list for your personal "status" on that show (Like i need to make my own list for shows that i have dropped, have on hold or have completed (and you have the default Watchlist for shows you want to watch.))

So what i think would immensely help organize our shows/movies, is to have a more "Complete list" of every show/movie and their own "Status", like they do on MyAnimeList. (Or we could just have a new system of "tagging" shows, so these "Statuses" are more clearly visible.) An example of this is the way i have organized my page on MyAnimeList: https://myanimelist.net/mangalist/davidpeder2

Here you can filter every entry after their status; like "watching", "on hold", "dropped" or "want to watch", and you can easily see what their status is. I also find this way much easier to find out how many episodes you have watched, than to hover your mouse over the shows to see how many episodes you have watched/how many times you have seen it. Here you can also give comments on the specific entry.

This would make organization much easier, and would make it so that i dont have to have multiple tabs open just to see everything i am watching, have completed, have on hold and have dropped.

One area where trakt currently is severely lacking is keeping up with your "network"/"friends". The number of people you can follow before the dashboard looses it's usefulness is probably a mere 3 users. Capping out at 12 recent items is quite harsh. A single casual user these days can probably nuke that feed in an evening alone (watching, collecting, commenting, lists, etc.). Going above that you can pretty much scratch that area of trakt. If you want to find out what certain people are enjoying you are forced to click on their profile AND "study"
their history (at least for TV data).

What could be improved / expanded:
- Filter options. However not just a single selector but checkboxes for the different types of interactions.
- Different display views including a text/icon list. (the current one is overloaded and not easy to read)
- Condensed user actions as I once suggested before V2 (http://support.trakt.tv/forums/188762-general/suggestions/3561062-condense-activities-dashboard).
- User independent views or data. Ex. most watched shows among friends in the last x-days, highest rated.
- Recent feed for each of the users (as an expanded view).

You previously added some genres based on keywords on trakt. I would like to propose the following to be added to that list, primarily having anime shows in mind:
- Harem (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=tag&tagid=2859) (could be handled as romance but shows usually have no "winning" girl)
- Slice of Life (https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=tag&tagid=2864) (imho the biggest one since "drama" doesn't fit at all)
- Mecha (https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=tag&tagid=2638)
- Ecchi (https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=tag&tagid=2856) (could be handled as "erotic" to cover regular content too)
- Romance (TMDB has yet to create this as a genre for TV shows..)
- Horror (same..)

Thanks ;)

There are certain individuals writing WOTs for the lamest of episodes imaginable without saying much on a regular basis, or people deliberately spamming the comment section with multiple (different) >1k character comments (but 0-1min timestamp differences).

I'd like to set a user to be ignored to not see his/her reviews and shouts (or replies). It's greatly annoying to see that a recent episode has like 6-9 comments in total whereas 4-6 are from the same person upon expanding the comment section.
Or see yet another review talking hot air about redundant, petty things for thousands of characters, pretty much without being able to get a single point across with just a few words.

To each their own, for others there might other people they'd like to not see comments from, who'd benefit from this greatly.

Would it be possible to add some way to flag duplicates directly on the site?

For example adding a link "this is/has a duplicate" next to the "refresh data" that open a pop-up where you can enter a link to the duplicate/original of a movie/show, maybe even a comment if details are needed.
It would be easier and quicker for user to inform you about them and you could even see the links that are flagged more often and correct them first.

It would reduce the number of support messages and make duplicate/error signaling accessible to the less curious of us who never checked what the "Help" link was about or never had the motivation to search and find out how to signal a duplicate.

Hi

I have a suggestion for the dashboard, a new section or an option to choose between my watching progress or a custom ranked list that would function as a queue of sorts.

Obviously this is going to be a little tricky to implement because of the different types of items (movies, shows, seasons, episodes) but it would be very helpful not just as a queue but also as a tool to track the watching order of some shows. For example, I could close the X-Files Essential Episodes and have the first 6 items of that list show up in my dashboard, and stuff like that.

Come to think of it, it would be better to have this feature as a standalone section in the dash because there's also current episodes and shit to catch up with.

To summarize:
- Show items, by order, from a ranked list
- If item is 'show' or 'season' show next episode to watch like in Progress
- That's it, I guess?

Please and thank you, Justin

The text associated with 1-10 star ratings currently isn't very helpful.
For example, I feel like Star Wars: The Force Awakens is described best of the options with "weak sauce", but I don't think it was as bad as a 1.
It's the same with the other end: I could describe Scott Pilgrim as "totally ninja", but don't feel like it was a 10/10 masterpiece film.

I'm coming from MyAnimeList, where the 10 points each have a non-subjective position on the scale which I use to help me decide on an appropriate rating for the series/film. It helps stop me from rating merely "great" things as a 10 instead of a 9, and from rating shows that weren't too bad with a much lower score.

Is there any chance of the scale using better terminology? It doesn't have to be all super-serious, but terms like "weak sauce" and "totally ninja" carry different weights between different people. I assume that this was meant as fun since most people seem to be able to rate something out of 10 by magic, but I don't have that ability and rely on the attached descriptors to make a better judgement. The most specific I can get without assistance is "really good", "good", "meh" or "bad".

I suppose my solution should be to memorise MAL's descriptors so I get better at rating things. But this is still important to help other people from rating things too highly out of hype or too poorly out of hate.
