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?

Bridge chat with an Element server     (IdeasForTalk)

chat is very barebones but it's not worth reinventing the wheel, element has clickable links, notifications, can embed images, doesn't drop out without a warning etc

Make subs easier to navigate by url     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by KCobain27 to IdeasForTalk 2.6 years ago (+2/-0)

Example: https://www.voat.xyz/v/IdeasForTalk/new will current give a 404.

Not sure how easy it would be, but could you make it so https://www.voat.xyz/v/IdeasForTalk/new redirects to https://www.voat.xyz/v/IdeasForTalk?view=new

No big deal if it isn't easy - but I like navigating by url sometimes.

After submitting a post, direct the users browser to the sub that it was submitted to, sorted by new     (IdeasForTalk)

Currently it directs to the sub that it was submitted to, which is nice, but I always click "new" after submitting to more easily find my post at the top to check. I make it a habit to check my posts every time to make sure I used the right link, for spelling errors, formatting issues, etc.

Upping vote ability to 14 days     (IdeasForTalk)

I do like that older posts end up "archived", but I would like the time to increase from seven days to fourteen. I think two weeks is still a bit short (OG Voat was a couple months) but this should help.

chat : auto hyperlink     (IdeasForTalk)

Shouldn't be too hard to place a regexp that catches a URL (https://www.urlregex.com) and places a hyperlink on it.

Just a small annoyance to catch songs and place them into the address bar.

Mimize Chat Button     (IdeasForTalk)

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).

Usually parent comments are as relevant as the replies/child comment for linked comments, right now only replies are visible, example: https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=614bca2b92d96&commentid=614bd394b8b8b

reposted, wrong sub..

Give sub owners the abillity tag their sub into a catagorie(s) of their choosing.      (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by Ifuckdolphinseverday to IdeasForTalk 2.7 years ago (+6/-0)
2 comments last comment...
Drop down from sub description in mod tools looks like a nice spot. This way system doesn't upset the userbase when we inevitably disagree with a tag he makes and there doesn't become a worklog of "untagged" subs that needs assignment.

Having the admin only make the tags feels a lot like AOU caring after his 1:16 scale replica of the JR Yamanote Line in his attic room. Panicked from his mother having invited some school kids to the home, desperate to keep his perfect city's workday on time as he promised.

Potency of Posts as a User Stat     (IdeasForTalk)

Say someone X makes 10 posts a month, gets net total of 30 SCP...
Say someone Z makes 10,000 posts a month gets net total of 300 SCP...

Someone X is more potent than Z, though Z is more prolific than X.

Someone Y could make just one post ever and get 999 SCP, have a much higher potency than either.

Should be a potency or proof rating or Scoville chart or some sort of rating like that showing. I think formula is pretty much: SCP/(# of posts) = Potency

Viewing Blocked Subverses Suggestion Done     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by oldblo to IdeasForTalk 2.7 years ago (+2/-0)
4 comments last comment...
I would really like it if I could see the posts of a blocked subverse I directly link to without toggling the block button.
My point in blocking a subverse is just to keep it from flooding the site. If im directly on the subverse of course im trying to see what it has.

I also suggest that a future search function have an include blocked content button.

Bring back the "viewcount" for submissions and subscriber count for subs on the info side. Active users in subs is nice too.      (IdeasForTalk)

Original Voat had these features and i enjoyed seeing viewcounts on posts rise throughout the years.

Subverse customization     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by v0atmage to IdeasForTalk 2.7 years ago (+3/-0)
3 comments last comment...
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)

"Share link" and "Discuss" buttons should default to the sub you were viewing at the time.     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by v0atmage to IdeasForTalk 2.7 years ago (+7/-0)
0 comments...
I personally find it way more intuitive to default the subverse combo box creating a post to the subverse you were browsing in when you clicked "Share link" or "Discuss."

At the moment it is blank which defaults to /v/all implicitly. This has caused me to accidentally submit to that sub several times already. I'm not against this being the default when viewing /v/all itself of course.

I believe this is the typical functionality in other reddit-like websites as well, so it should be natural for most users.

this depends on how the restrictions are implemented, but if they're obvious to the user i don't see the downside of showing them to everyone

Subverse Catagories     (IdeasForTalk)

Making a subverse tag pool so we can categorize subverses and sort through that mess easier would be good. Let the users create and suggest tags. Let the owners apply the tags they think fits. Then let the search function bring up subverses that match the tags you look for.
