Account deletion suggestion.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by oldblo to IdeasForTalk 2.5 years ago (+6/-0)

(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.

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)

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.

A method to see what users / subs you have blocked     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by ParnellsUprising to IdeasForTalk 1.2 years ago (+6/-0)
4 comments last comment...
Apparently, I have blocked users that I am not even aware of, so it would be nice feature to be able to check to see what you may have inadvertently blocked.

I just happened to notice on a submission I made, and had to go as unauthenticated to see why I could not see certain comments, and apparently I had blocked someone erroneously ?

I didn't see any other method to accomplish this, unless I am missing this features location.

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.

Dial = Gay

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!

Create the formatting tooltip for comments as well as posts     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by ParnellsUprising to IdeasForTalk 11 months ago (+5/-0)
0 comments...
I only see the tool tip when it is not really useful imho, basically when creating a link or discussion.

I believe that it would be useful when you are commenting, that the tool tip link would be available at the bottom of the comment tab, when you want to make a bulleted or numerical list, quote txt, or whatever the fuck else you want to do.
I am not saying that it is not useful where it shows up, but why is this not available when you are commenting?

Oh, btw, there is no instructions for creating a poll, which may be a good thing...

If someone steals a dead person's identity, the courts should assume they murdered the dead person until there is proof otherwise...     (IdeasForTalk)

This would really cut down on identity theft, and especially every mexican's favorite kind of identity theft where they murder a white family and take over their identities.

Why do I have to sign in multiple times, when I never close out tabs???     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by temetnosce to IdeasForTalk 2.8 years ago (+4/-0)
9 comments last comment...
Example, I sign in. I read around, then go to other websites. After reading other websites, I go to my bookmarks/favorites, click voat, and I am signed out. WHY AM I SIGNED OUT? When I sign in, in the morning, I click the box that says "remember me", so as to keep signed in, when I return.

I used to notice, IF I had multiple tabs open, and lets say I signed in on the 3rd open tab, when I would go back to voat later I would have to sign in again. I GOT AROUND THAT PROBLEM, by always signing in, with the left most tab. Now that trick doesn't work anymore.

WHY CAN'T MY COMPUTER STAY SIGNED IN???

Desktop, W10, firefox.

Actual block     (IdeasForTalk)

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?

I don't even know what subs are missing, as I don't even know what subs exist.

Christmas theme      (IdeasForTalk)

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.

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.

"Purple" the posts Title, after I have read the post, or clicked the picture.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by temetnosce to IdeasForTalk 2.4 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.

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?

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.

Subverse customization     (IdeasForTalk)

All of the below is presumably managed by the mods of a subverse.

- Custom banner
- Optional pop up message when clicking vote buttons (like "Keep clicking piggie!" upon downvote)
- Customizable user flairs (Eg. Verified shitlord)

Mimize Chat Button     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by patchCodeUnsuccessful to IdeasForTalk 2.6 years ago (+3/-0)

I just nuked chat on main page by pushing X to see what would happen.

Not the expected behavior of having to go into account settings reenable chat. A hide button would be appreciated. Basically minimizes the chat window to one line with the chat [min button] [close button] and no longer opens a socket every time page is refreshed. When min button is pushed again setting is updated and page is refreshed (restoring chat as is normal).
