| Every time there is a new update (like how now more voice actors and characters can be displayed on the anime pages), there could be a thread made by a moderator on a board made specifically for MAL updates. Those threads would announce what has been changed so people can be more aware, and people can comment their thoughts on the changes. Also, maybe there could be updates regarding what's coming up next (unless it's a surprise) or maybe asking for opinions about a certain feature. The threads should be managed by moderators though, and regular members shouldn't be allowed to make threads on there. Well I hope that made sense. |

| the last thing volunteer moderators and staff members need are more work though i rather suggest the developers add some automated log page that is accessible by everyone, the log page will include any modification and addition to the database of MAL for example |

Ooh, that would be interesting, and perhaps a better suggestion than mine. |

| Agreed. Whenever I notice change I go to forum to check what else changed and always end disappointed as there is no topic about it. |
| I think an update in Suggestion Board will be a good start.. :/ |

Like the link you posted. That means someone have to manage and check them. Probably additional work for DB mods or a new mod team for that. With the current situation of DB mods I think it is far from reality. |

With the current situation of DB mods I think it is far from reality. im suggesting this to be all automated though, no one on the volunteer staff needs to manage and check them manually i know too well that the last thing the volunteer staff of MAL needs is more work so automation is better than adding more moderators at this point |

Fully automated system is impossible sadly since we still cant code highly advanced VI or basic AI. That is why I said we need at least a team for that. You also need to add possible trolls. |

You also need to add possible trolls. maybe Wikipedia is a bad example, i was thinking along the lines like the anime history on users profiles like you got here https://myanimelist.net/history/sasalx/anime so nothing too fancy that needs human moderation for it, its all automatic |
