Downvoting now disables if your total downvotes given is more than 2x your total upvotes given     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 3 years ago (+91/-11)
111 comments last comment...
So if you have given out 400 upvotes, you can give out 800 downvotes before it disables. 20 upvotes given? You can downvote a total of 40 times. If you want to reenable downvoting simply give out more upvotes.

This is to prevent serial downvoters. The 2:1 ratio is more than reasonable and would only prevent the most excessive downvoters. Under these rules currently only 2 accounts are effected with a 3rd soon to follow.

I know there will be people who complain about this, people who aren't even effected by it. Feel free to voice your opinion in this thread. But seeing the /all/new downvoted by one person, with no repercussion or incentive to give out some upvotes will forever be a problem without some kind of limit. I still have not implemented a ccp requirement for downvotes, that could change depending on abuse.

You can now use bold, italics, underline and strikethrough with text      (TalkDev)

I am going with bbcode, as I dislike the way reddit handles it. I forget how voat.co did it, but I believe it was bbcode.

So for bold you will use these tags

Italics will use these tags

Underline uses these tags

and strikethrough will use these tags

Adding text to links will come in the near future

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.

Site update: The deletion log, and new site rules     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 3 years ago (+53/-1)
93 comments last comment...
Hey guys. Hope all is well.

The deleted submissions log is now up and can be viewed by all with an account. This lists posts deleted by an admin or a mod of the subverse. To access, click the button in the side menu. While in /all it will list all removed posts, while in a sub it will just list posts from that sub.

Note: Older removed submissions do not list a date or the account that removed it. I went ahead and manually added my name to the submissions I've removed. Newer posts will track this info.

Note to sub mods: If you need a submission removed from the delete log you can contact me or cynabuns. The reason must be valid and reasonable i.e. CP or dox.

A deleted comments log will soon follow.

I've also added 2 new site rules

No vote manipulation i.e. using multiple accounts to upvote your own content/mass downvoting an account.

and

Any content which contains nudity or could be considered porn must be labeled NSFW. This includes drawn/cartoon imagery.

The last rule is in response to recent abuse and is something I think a majority of the people here want or don't care about. It keeps the site from becoming /b/ and allows people who don't want to see this type of content to block the sub or disable seeing it via blocking nsfw posts in their account options.

Edit: After thinking about it I removed "and be posted to an appropriate subverse" from the last rule.

You can now subscribe to subverses     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 3.1 years ago (+51/-0)
19 comments last comment...
This is an option now. You can view posts from subs you've subscribed to by visiting /v/front. You can access it in the top navigation bar on the left. I am keeping /v/all as the default view when vising the site, but I've made it an option to have /v/front be the main view if you prefer. No default subs, so /front defaults to /all until you subscribe to something.

That took longer than I thought. I ran into a bunch of issues, had to downgrade server os and mess with a bunch of stuff, but things seem to be working. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Accounts below 10 points now have their message length limited     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 1 year ago (+47/-1)
87 comments last comment...
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.

New restrictions for accounts with 0 or less total scp + ccp     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 3 years ago (+46/-1)
32 comments last comment...
Accounts with 0 or less combined scp + ccp are now rate limited to 1 post every 15 minutes. They also cannot submit link posts, but can post links as a discussion post. These restrictions do not currently apply to comments, but that could change in the future. Want to avoid these restrictions? Ensure your account has a positive balance of 1 point, either ccp or scp it doesn't matter, as long as the total balance is bigger than 0.

Voat.co had a similar immune system which penalized accounts with negative points. I believe this is a better way of handling it. We'll give this system a try, I will make adjustments if needed. New accounts might have a rocky start of having limits, then not having them, then having them, then not, but it will stabilize out the more they post (granted they're not posting genital mutilation, naked jewish women, etc.)

Also, the amount of downvotes you're allotted has been changed from 1:1 to a .5:1 ratio with upvotes. If you're unable to downvote then try upvoting some more.

Edit: Negative accounts with -20 or more are now rate limited in comments as well. Starting off with 5 minutes, we'll see how that goes.

Edit2: I changed the submission time out to 5 minutes, I will adjust it as needed.

Hey goats. You can now quote text.

To quote a message simply insert two one '>' with the quoted text after it. The quote will end when you insert a line break.

It's a simple feature but it was a bitch to implement, working with strings in PHP is torture. I am going to try to get it down to one '>' but this works for now.

Just a PSA

Using 2 was too much work. Things like 10 > 5 and voat > poal should still display properly.

For vote manipulating and lying about it. PS, I am aware of your other account. I have not disabled it. Fuck around and it will be.

Easily the most annoying bug on the site: Page resets whenever you attempt to up or downvote a comment near the top of the page.     (TalkDev)

I haven't been able to spot a pattern, but it only seems to affect comments near the top of the page on posts with more than one screen of comments. Whenever I try to up or downvote any of those comments or their children the page resets and the vote is erased.

Changes to downvotes     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 3 years ago (+34/-1)
97 comments last comment...
Downvotes allotted has been changed from 2:1 to 1:1 with upvotes

You now must have at least 25 ccp to downvote

You can now only downvote a particular user 20 times in a 24 hour period. 10 reserved for submissions and 10 reserved for comments.

In other news there is a new gore tag. It's not written in the rules yet but gore content should be labelled as such. Examples of gore include excessive blood, limb removal, mutilation.

Edit: I'm monitoring feedback, considering all your concerns. Changes or adjustments may follow.

This has applied to downvotes, but it makes sense to apply to upvotes as well to prevent upvote brigades. You get 10 upvotes for submissions and 10 for comments per user per 24 hours.
