The site name and domain is changing. Why? I was never too fond of "talk.lol" as a name. Yes it is short and sweet, but it never really grew on me and I think others can relate. Also the "premium" domain renewal is crazy and way higher than it should be. I think the new name better represents the community. It's also fitting for a voting site as well. The talk.lol and voat.xyz domain will continue to work as they do now, so after the down time just use the same domain you always have till the new one is revealed, BUT I am considering retiring them soon and eventually they will just redirect to the new domain. The new site will function slightly different then it does now but will pretty much look the same.. at least for now. Down time will start later today.

New site changes coming soon (whatever)

Text limit for accounts with less than 10 points can now be toggled on/off (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 2.2 years ago

7 comments

Ok so I made this a toggle. If I have to be away for an extended period of time I will turn it on, but for the most part it will be up to the spammers themselves whether this is enabled. Right now it's disabled. Let me know if there are any issues.

Accounts below 10 points now have their message length limited (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 2.2 years ago

87 comments

Below 10 points you are limited to 2,000 characters.

Below 0 points you are limited to 300 characters.

I hate the idea of accounts getting brigaded and then limited over petty stuff so I may turn this into a mod option which can be turned on and off depending on the climate and mod availability but right now that's too much work.

Oh and you need at least 1 point to create a poll now.

Testing new text formatting options (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 2.2 years ago

61 comments

Edit: Ok all should be working now.

You can now name images with the standard markdown formatting and have them load in.

Example:
[Talk lol logo](https://www.voat.xyz/images/tlologo.png)

You can highlight text like =this= but with 2 equal signs

Example:
Text ==highlighting==

Add a hashtag # in front of text to create a header. # Like this. ## This, or ### this.

# This header is created with 1 hashtag

## This header is created with 2 hashtags

### This header is created with 3 hashtags

and the multiline quotebox by adding another > directly below a quote

>
>
> multi
>
> line
>
>
>
>quotebox
>
>
>
>[Talk ==lol== logo](https://www.voat.xyz/images/tlologo.png)
>
>
>

You can even

### == Combine them ==

If highlighting or header text becomes a way for trolls to cause annoyance I will either limit the ability based on points or create a mod function which removes it from accounts. Maybe both.

There may be issues, post them here if you find any.

Ok we're running good now (whatever)

I don't mean to tooot my own horn but TOOT TOOT. This place is running great now. I knocked out all the major issues I wanted to deal with. There is still work to be done but I feel like I can sit back and enjoy a few beers. You can post your remaining grievances and I'll look into adding/fixing it. Saving comments is one which comes to mind, but I'm going to take it easy the rest of the night.

Happy Easter

Things should be faster and smoother on the main page. Lots of code changes so there could be problems. Let me know of any you come across. Need to go through the other pages and do the same. Thanks to Conspirologist for reporting the few apparent ones that popped up.

Let me know of any bugs you come across. Currently each option is limited to 50 characters max. If that feels too limiting I will bump it up to 100.

I have zero tolerance for doxing. I don't care who is doing the doxxing or who is getting doxed. Doxxing users of this site will result in a ban.

You can switch it off if you prefer. Click the brush next to the light bulb to toggle it.

You can't pick your color (yet) but you can change it to a random color every 24 hours by typing /color into chat.

Adult content is now opt-in (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 2.9 years ago

All accounts on the site now have adult content hidden by default. To view this content you must disable "Hide adult content" in your account options. All content which features nudity will be hidden by default, whether it's news footage from twitter, art, or everyone's favorite, pornography. So even if you do not care about porn it's worth considering unhiding if you'd like the full uncensored version of the site.
