Just like the old v/IdeasForVoat, here's the place to share an idea for a site feature or a suggestion for making things work more smoothly.

If your idea gets implemented, you may just get awarded a new trophy on your profile page!


Found a site bug? These now get reported in https://www.voat.xyz/v/TalkDev.

@system can we get a button to save comments like we can with submissions?     (IdeasForTalk)

That would be very helpful. Save-worthy things get posted in comments just as often as submissions.

Is anyone actually willling able and trustworthy enough to help? original content     (IdeasForTalk)

I ve been told that its all up to System to maintain this place and that he even pays for it from his own pocket.

But obviously, a man that is already working a full time job probably, is not able to invest more in this place.

So, all of these ideas we have are cool...but do we have trustworthy people able to implement them?

Can we get a preview post button, just to show how the crappy editor you are using will display shit?      (IdeasForTalk)

Really, makes no sense to even try and post something though provoking with teh type of editor formatting that you are using.

Why not get something simple, yaml / wiki based maybe?

Look at my deleted posts prior to this...

Arrange subscriptions in tlol     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by UncleDoug to IdeasForTalk 2.1 years ago (+5/-1)
1 comments last comment...
Self-explanatory, can we please have a way to arrange our subscribed subs alphabetically or drag and drop to whatever way we see fit.
With extra subs that don't fit the breadth of the screen in a drop-down menu like every other forum. Even poal does this, yes even poal.

Better ban system     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by cyclops1771 to IdeasForTalk 2.3 years ago (+5/-0)
9 comments last comment...
Add a note for ban reasons or allow choices for ban reasons.

Also, allow ban by username

Bans can be fun, but they need reasons that can be used to make them funny.

Example:
Ban user: system
Reason: No gays or jews
Comment: You brought this on yourself by allowing poalsmokers in!

Moderator limits need to be removed ASAP, or the site will die.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by ShitsInHoneypots to IdeasForTalk 2.3 years ago (+3/-2)

Or at least cap the number of moderators a sub can have at around 500.

I.E. Make the moderator system more like Voat's, but without doing too much work.

Edit: Please sticky this.

Create a new class of moderator here     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by PoalsAlgorithm to IdeasForTalk 2.3 years ago (+5/-1)
11 comments last comment...
It will be a 'secret' moderator. One who will move posts to where they belong. One who will monitor the actions of all users and discipline them by throttling/limiting their account, arbitrarily removing/adding points to accounts & posts, and change account passwords. All of this will be conducted in secret with no records or transparency.

Many of you are familiar with my past work at Poal, I nominate myself for this new class of 'secret' moderator.

What do you all think, and can I get anyone here to second my self-nomination?

Problems With the Talk.Lol Quote Function - Under the current method each paragraph of quoted text is separated by a triple space which messes up the flow of the piece, as well if there is a single passage of quoted text in a post reply none of the hyperlinks work ..     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by TankTinker to IdeasForTalk 2.3 years ago (+6/-0)
4 comments last comment...
Big effort required to enable multi paragraph quoting and to fix the hyperlink problem please System ..

A hyperlink is a word, phrase, or image that you can click on to jump to a new document or a new section within the current document.

"Purple" the posts Title, after I have read the post, or clicked the picture.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by temetnosce to IdeasForTalk 2.3 years ago (+4/-0)
4 comments last comment...
Basically the title. Say I click on the Title "look here". After I view the content/link/text, /jist, of the post, then turn the color of "look here" purple. Or white, Hell any other color other than same color as all other posts. Also please do this whether I log in or not. I turn on computer 8am, don't log in, just read and click on most of front page. Leave computer on all day. Come back at 4pm, I can't remember what I have, and have not seen. So I am clicking and reading things I have already seen. (I know, it's my 1st world problem). Thank y'all.

Banning notices     (IdeasForTalk)

Can we get a sub for banned accounts for talk.lol?
A sub that also lists users that deleted their accounts?

Can subs have a button that shows the banned number of users and the individual user accounts listed?

Can each account also show which subs you have blocked if any and which subs you have been banned from in your account?

It will save posting in them and having the comment up in the ether.
Especially as subs are popping up randomly every day with next to zero user contribution and still remain active.

I noticed Talk.lol doesn't have a Christmas theme and also all the sites I've noticed with them are just winter (bleh!) Or Santa themed and it would be cool if @system could do a nativity theme.

though maybe i shouldn't ask for more formatting features, does the character for quoting still break the entire post when it's in the middle of a line?

Account deletion suggestion.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by oldblo to IdeasForTalk 2.5 years ago (+6/-0)
2 comments last comment...
(Reposted here upon request.)

I think it would be good to make it so account deleters can choose to wipe their name while leaving their content.
I prefer that over a digital nuke.
If that sounds good I would love to see the option.

The site content would stay the same but the name of comments and posts would be replaced with something like Anon or Deleted.

Make every letter of Dial's multiple usernames a different colour in global chat. Like a gay rainbow to represent the many alt's of dial.

Here's an idea...how about we make it so when you block someone, they can't send messages to your inbox.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF A BLOCK FUNCTION WHEN THEY CAN SPAM YOUR INBOX?
