Nothing is happening so I'm going to do work for once

[zero-who]

I just want to know if thunk provoking is positive or negative

It's context-dependent.

Also, maybe have an older version of an OP saved that can be voted on to revert. Like a Wikipedia article being reverted to fix abuse/spam.

XF actually automatically does this, to make it work usefully though you'd have to add a wiki-esque feature that highlights the differences between edits. Probably wouldn't be all that hard all considered there is probably some existing code for this that could be rolled in.

Community OP editing would be a fantastic feature but like others say it would invite abuse. Perhaps the OP and/or mods could invite particular users only to do this. Vanilla xF has permissions that don't exactly do this but could probably be a good starting place.

I also voted for PM improvements. There is an XF plug-in that does a lot of what you want @Null here and there is another one along the same lines. I dunno if this would be just drop-in or how much effort it would take to integrate but it's out there.

Is Kiwi chat a highly modified Siropu or is it entirely it's own thing? There are some improvements that could be made there too but one thing at a time I guess.

Neutral, if you mean reaction score wise

Add a troon png (hanging from a rope with the text 41%) pops up from the upper corner (whichever one) whenever someone posts a message that contains certain words like "trans, dilate, troon" as an easter egg

something like this:

If confirmed cows are going to have profiles here and post, they shouldn't have any privacy for their profiles. For example, @Clawshrimpy aka Christopher McGee shouldn't be able to browse his thread in secret and not be held responsible for being a kiwi. If lolcows want their notoriety, they should have it.

Replace thread highlights with Spacebattles style threadmarks.

We should be able to keep a record of a thread’s signifigant events, not be forced to scroll through a literal highlight reel of zingers. Sometimes I get highlighted and have no idea why.

Where is my digital Kiwi pet. I want Kiwi Farms to fill the Neopets-shaped hole in my heart.

Unironically that'd be a really fun idea. You have your choice between a Kiwi, Cow, or Lama, and you can dress them up for holidays.

The Community Edibles sounds interesting. How would that work? A Buffet? Maybe some sort of meal plan.

It's called the "go back" button, buddy

A proposal for fixing the highlight function:
1. For threads over a certain number of pages, only count the number of "informative" ratings instead of the overall number of stickers.
2. Allow page viewers to filter posts in a thread to show only the highlights

The highlight feature works fine and it's a good mix of updates, jokes, and angry tards.

Respectfully, you’re wrong.
If someone is coming into a lolcow thread and knows nothing but the OP text, how is highlight helpful? He’s going to have to go through pages of meaningless banter to get to useful information on various events.

In short, an event timeline is badly needed - and I ain’t talking about one in OP’s.

A "troon" tag next to transgender/genderspecial Kiwis would be nice, so I automatically know to disregard everything they say.

Example:

Clearnet crypto drug market subforum

you're asking for a completely different thing besides complaining about the autohighlight feature. don't mix the two.

Fine, let’s not mix the two. I’d be perfectly fine with the two side by side.

Can we get proper webp support? You can imbed them as a regular image while making a post, but they get turned into basic files once you hit post.

I think it works fine for smaller threads and non-lolcow non-happening threads where there aren't a lot of important, info-heavy updates being posted regularly. However, trying to navigate longer lolcow or happening threads (as in 100+ pages) via highlights has become extremely tedious, as important updates/info get buried beneath shitposts and unoriginal reactions/responses.

Remove that button that automatically scrolls you up the page on mobile. Not once have I pushed it intentionally.

Make an IRC routed through Tor.
Matrix or Riot also works.

People complain when it's not there. Lose weight.

Removing it to test something.
