Private/Direct Messages Chain Spam Issue

[PermaLurker69]

Null always told us to archive EVERYTHING.

It never occurred to anyone to archive reaction scores.

I once got added to a rape enthusiast dm thread. I have no idea why I was,but it was really weird.

Edit:I was posting in the Deviantart Horrors / Furry Sideshows threads now that I think about it.

He should also disable DMs for all users, force people to chat in the open.

No, DMs are still good for digging into a target as a group without the threat of a DFE (the zoosadism investigation groups make heavy use of this). It's also good for drafting posts before posting them publicly (I did this for the Torswats thread).

 

[Lurker]

at this point you telling me what to do is probably the most surefire way to get me to not consider it.

okay, nix the lounge, just give me my sticker score back, and nobody else

just me

because that's possible, i'm sure

Glad this happened today, mati's going to be fun

I left my animal posting dm thread and regret it, should I just make a public thread or is there already one? it'd be titled similarly to the dm chain except it'd be "random animal videos in this thread"

I think there's a "cute animals" thread or something like that in the General Discussions board.

It's very normal to want the approval of the community. Humans are hard-wired for it.

It's dopamine-maxing.

remove reactions

Remove all except the thumbs-up like reaction. Go old-school.

I will say this is really nice, no need to sort through my MOUNTAINS of positive reddit karma reactions to see who responds to the gold that are my shit posts. I end up missing stuff sometimes when I check in the next day on the site.

I do think a good compromise would be to allow people to see score on profiles. As others have said, its a good indicator of retards on the site that isnt a pink triangle.

What if I offer $260?

He should also disable DMs for all users, force people to chat in the open.

And incentivize using Sneedchat, because it's so easy for spergery to arise when you can instantly post short text messages instead of full forum posts.

I know that because the two times I got banned was because of Sneedchat.

Commit yourself to a keto diet, don't ever use cheddar on anything, cultivate as many banana peppers as you can.

I'd like to see what is going wrong that people prefer sprawling message exchanges

You rode the short bus to school, didn't you?

If he's gonna keep one score it has to be Boxershort's, seeing that -6 million score was funny every time

Maybe because I came to this forum it brought a lot of trouble upon the forum.

@Null what if you set up a Gated Communities subforum where every thread OP could threadban anyone they don't like from their own thread, so people can have dedicated-topic threads for unpopular/controversial stuff like vtubers, furry shit, manhate, partisan politics or whatever that are publicly visible but protected from the mad spergs shitting them up because they don't like the topic?

does this not work? I get notifications very reliably.

I don't want to get notifications for all the threads I have on the watched threads list. A lot of them I care enough to add them to the list to be able to jump to quickly, but do not necessarily care about being informed the instant there is a new post.

I used the reaction notification to check up on to threads I posted on recently without having to load a new page and without worrying about whether or not the thread is on my watch list. I don't really get the people who obsessed with muh reddit karma equivalent but my use case for the notifications had nothing about caring about what the actual notification was.

If you're going to disable the reaction notification please make it possible to sort the watched threads list by the last time *I* made a post on each thread. This would probably be preferable because actual notifications like "replied to your message" get buried under a mountain of worthless reaction notifications. Or even choosing which threads give a forum notification.

 

[lol cow supreme]

I wonder if the stickers actually remove unnecesary "i agree" posts being made.
Could be a test run to see if it reduces junk posts

I agree

 

[gagabobo1997]

I've never been invited to any of these group PMs

Though, I feel like changing the invite system to give the invitee a choice of joining or not would be an ideal solution.

 

[Moths]

I think this is a good idea that way I can still have the satisfaction of knowing some faggot likely knows I gave them a trashcan.

Yeah I like the stickernotifs as a soft way of gauging people reading and adding new activity to a thread but ill give this watched thingo a whirl

Also it was fun to see when people would find an ole post of mine funny

 

[Super Dilator Duel 3D]

I don't think we should be taking any efforts to make people like that more comfortable than they already are. If anything, I think we should be warning them that "hey retards, even in DMs your shit will get doxed and mad trannies will call up your boss and the guy you disagreed with four months ago will change his pfp to your face".

Again, I agree with you fully. I like that part of the site’s culture. I just point all this out in response to this;

I think that if people feel they can't talk conversationally on the main off-topic boards, I'm doing something really wrong and I'd like to see how it can be loosened up.

I don’t think Null or the jannies are doing anything wrong, I think the site’s culture is just inherently not friendly to casual conversation (at least in the off-topic boards as most of those are hobby-centric)

An idea

Only negative scores are shown. If your score is below 0, congrats, your retardation is on blast to the rest of the forum.

Maintains incentive to post quality content, without gamifying it.

you know you could have just turned that off, right?

no, it incentivizes making popular posts, not quality posts.
