Poll: Do you want sticker notifications back? - Not the score, just the notifications.

That defeats the purpose. I might as well just not feature shit.

Well I think you should consider the possibility that some kind of design change could make things at least marginally better.

 

[Goofy Logic]

It does. It's a shame. I don't know what to do about it.

You could have the highlight post feature put emphasis on the informative rating when considering posts to highlight. People may abuse the informative rating as a result but it should bypass a lot of the shit for people who just want to skim.

When I write the new forum software there will be time limits or mod queue for people to post in featured threads they've never been active in before, but for now there's nothing I am willing to do. I have thought this over before. It is not the first time people, myself included, have complained

This is also just a general whining thread and not a place to discuss suggestions so I have nothing more to say on this.

Maybe if the users has very few posts or is not very active.
I understand users giving their room temperature take and just reading half of the feature thread is annoying.
However, the feature threads are for people to discover new things and sometimes the attention can cause relevant information to be unveilled by outsiders (Keffals tranny porn for example)

Editing the featured post to explain a bit more about the cow and it's culture does not seem to work that well because people don't read a long post fully even if it's featured.
Very few users go back a few post and pages to look up more about a cow when a thread is feature. The reaction score on the op and posts made before the feature can show this.

So yeah this seems like a complex task, easy to fuck it up.

Some retards (@SSj_Ness) refuse to even read a page's worth of posts after and immediately post a request for a tl;dr... I think the eventual solution of adding a mod queue for new posters will reduce the 0-effort garbage posts.

mod queue

What’s that?

I also think if there was a way where we could distill all the important info into easy to flip through bookmarks that would probably help.

 

[Mankirk]

What’s that?

Posts are not added when they are posted, but rather after a mod confirms the post isn't total garbage. Often used by forums on new posters to deter malicious users.

Yeah I always found the informative button useless, I thought you had to reply to everything “(item) is fat and I would not have sex with them”.

Maybe the Highlight system could use some honing.
However, I do find the "useful info" here to be on the (very) light side. Most of it is gathered from articles or Xshitter and the sort, with a pinch of bedsheets identification autism.
The real fun is the back and forth sperging.

Doesn't sound like a good solution to me, personally. The features are a great way to stay informed on cows that you either haven't heard of, or can't be bothered to keep up with. I understand it can be annoying to feature a post and then instantly watch it devolve, but the effects are temporary, and really only last for a few hours. There's plenty of people like myself who will follow the features, and occasionally post in the ones that interest them. I won't pretend my contributions aren't usually small, but they're posts I would make if I was following the thread regardless.

There's basically two options for any kind of moderation of a planned breach of the retard floodgate; reactive and proactive. From a poster's point of view, reactive is always the better option, because it at least lets them get their post in before being told it's stupid. Having a queue of posts for a couple of hours that mods have to manually approve could work, but it takes time away from moderators that they could be spending elsewhere.

Proactive is the more appealing option from a moderation standpoint, but finding the balance is the key. Perhaps limit posts for the next few hours to accounts that have been on the site for more than a certain minimum amount of time? Or that have not had moderation infractions within that timeframe? Perhaps utilize reactions, and only allow users with comparatively high reaction scores? Maybe a combination?

If I could make my own suggestions, I would like to see something like this:

I always think it's hilarious when JewTubers or even troons attacking each other use shit that is obviously from here but then they pretend to hate us and would never admit having an account here.
