@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.

Implement HTTP+NIGGER, a new protocol modifier I just invented     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by SithEmpire to IdeasForTalk 1 month ago (+15/-1)
14 comments last comment...
Inspiration: The +NIGGER license modifier.

Because HTTP can have any custom headers, I figured why let license modifiers have all the fun, go for a protocol modifier!

Clients and servers implementing the HTTP+NIGGER protocol SHOULD include an extra HTTP header called nigger. Because most HTTP hosts don't give a fuck about uppercase and lowercase in the header key name, the case is unspecified.

The header value is also unspecified, but MAY be "NIGGER". If a client uses plain HTTP without the nigger header, the server MAY use the header value "FAGGOT". If a client sets the nigger header value to "N", the server MAY respond with nigger header value "I". Servers are encouraged to implement interesting nigger header responses depending on the client nigger header.

Example client HTTP+NIGGER request headers:
`
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.voat.xyz
Nigger: NIGGER
User-Agent: curl/7.68.0
Accept: /
`

Example server HTTP+NIGGER response headers:
`
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Nigger: NIGGER
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
`

A client may also specify the HTTP+NIGGER protocol explicitly, such as HTTP/1.1+NIGGER, in which case it MUST include a nigger header. A server which receives a HTTP+NIGGER request without a nigger header SHOULD respond with HTTP+NIGGER error 444, which MAY include the text "Did Not Say Nigger".

Subverse Catagories     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by oldblo to IdeasForTalk 2.7 years ago (+10/-0)
10 comments last comment...
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.

Block the "anon" user as opposed to having to block every anon sub      (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by ParnellsUprising to IdeasForTalk 1 year ago (+10/-1)

It would make it much easier to block the "user", as opposed to have to repeatedly block anon subs for the faggots that don't want to have a name attached to their submissions / comments.

Fucking anon niggers are shitting the place up.

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

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...

When replying to yourself (Making long lists in comments) disable the notification that you sent yourself a comment or reply. I tend to make long lists that max out the character limit so i have to reply to myself to continue.

"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.

Increasing content on voat: Bookmark dumping     (IdeasForTalk)
submitted by NeedleStack to IdeasForTalk 2.8 years ago (+6/-0)
2 comments last comment...
Content doesn't always have to be the latest breaking news, meme, or political hot take.

I think thoughtfully dumping bookmarked links every once in a while will help keep the content flowing.

Can't find the appropriate sub for your link? Create the sub!

No topic is too obscure or uninteresting.

You never know; you might inspire others to get interested in your niche subject. For example, a few users started making books (and posting pics of their creations) after getting interested in my bookbinding sub on the old voat.

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

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.

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.

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.
