Post mandatory threads, nested threads, offtopics, and reaction images
0 replies, posted
I have an amusing idea for a thread that would be mandatory to post in upon viewing, or else the user acquires a monetary penalty for merely lurking in it. The thread could be intentionally free-form and non-sequitur, having only a loose sense of topic while at the same time not allowing shitposts.
The threads could be called SOC (stream of consciousness).
Another idea could consist of implementing a nested thread system that would make users feel a lot more at liberty to derail a thread without actually derailing it, containing their conversations in a minimized sub thread while the main topic keeps going harmlessly, however at the same time it would still need to be lossely based upon the original discussion, it should not be completely unrelated.
Concerning complete 180 degree derails, it could be possible to have a system that automatically yanks off the derailed discussion out of the thread and migrates it to a dedicated subforum for derails, allowing spontaneous discussion of suddenly interesting topics that appeared in random threads.
Concerning reaction images and visual jokes, it could be possible to give facepunchers greater liberty at using them by auto hiding them, while having a rule that the user must have cohesive text accompanying the reaction image, the image/video could be hidden with a reveal "display reaction" button.
