New Forum Comments & Suggestions - General

Soon people will start making coin SuperPACs that submit Tudd bans at politically strategic times

It's actually a pretty useful feature when someone posts about a technical issue but doesn't bother elaborating about their OS and browser or whatever else is relevant.

Can moderators and administrators have titles indicating their rank? With the whole dark thing on the website it's hard for me to differentiate between green normal user and darker green moderator.

So is this new forum different from the old new forum? Or is this still labpunch or whatever it was called?

good riddance, i like this attempt more.

nah they are way easier to read on my phone

this feels magnitudes better than labpunch

I made a new thread two days ago in the meta section requesting it- as I felt like it would not really fit into this subforum.

Can we fit the FP logo somewhere in the header, or maybe the background? I miss it.

Wait, he was deleted? I know he turned out to be a scammer but what made deleting his account necessary?

yo this dark greens and blues color pallete is wicked as fuck

Should feature requests go in /meta now? Just in case they shouldn't, re-posting my request here: embedded polls basically just re-use the checkbox system except allow users to check them and tally up those numbers and display them

Coin bets could be a nice, softcore alternative to toxx. Even better, make it somehow automated so a mod only has to check a yes/no and the winning party gets the coins of the losers, divided evenly with 1 coin being the minimum.

that'd be pretty interesting to see, i like it

Gotta make it all your coins or nothing lad

I really like the idea of some sort of expansion to the coin system, just some fun shit to do with them you know?

forum idea: allow rating a specific part of a post by selecting text before rating (but default to "whole post") then when hovering over ratings of a post, it'd highlight the parts of the post people rated that rating (could be useful for things like bad spelling)

Someone requested something like this for the paragraphs in the devblogs

Sounds like an interesting way to provide commentary on somebody's post. Are you concerned that having multiple ratings for multiple parts of a post could add unnecessary clutter and make it more complicated than it needs to be?

The text under a thread title means different things on desktop and mobile (OP vs last post) and it's very off-putting.

i didn't think of multiple ratings for multiple parts but it would probably be better to limit it to one like with the current system (people will spam it otherwise)

If you can only give people one rating to assign to a post, why bother allowing them to assign it to a specific part of the post then? Presently, they have to rate the entire post with that rating, and then if they want to elaborate on their rating, people reply and further the discussion. This increases forum activity and makes the community healthier through discourse.

oh

I didn't mean to shoot down your idea, I'm just pointing out that it might have that effect. It would certainly be a unique way to interact with somebody else's content - I haven't seen a forum where you can rate specific parts of a post.

I feel that the deblurring of spoilers should happen a tad faster than it does. It doesn't feel snappy.

Should it be as fast as the despoiling effect on 4chan?

I don't really know what that's like. But it should be less than a half second or so.

4chan's spoilers are like the black box from the previous iteration of the forums, except they instantly despoil when you mouse over them. Perhaps having a slight delay of half a second like you suggested would be prudent. After all, that prevents somebody from accidentally mousing over the spoilers and unintentionally revealing them.

i was thinking it could be a slightly more expressive or less vague version of the current rating system, people could still reply but also point out which part of the post they find dumb or something without needing to make a post if it's not that important the same type of laziness is already possible with the current system but i guess maybe this could enable it further (it sounds hard to measure)
