Suggestion and Update Thread

[Suah Noteb (Betonhaus)]

Please rename the "US Politics General 2" thread to the "US Politics General II" thread. Roman numerals just sound better, especially as we eventually replace the thread again and again.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Why is it not a bannable offense to not post thumbnails?

Why is it not a bannable offense to not post thumbnails?

because that problem could literally be solved by having ctrl-v and right-click pasted images default to the thumbnail version instead of the full version, but asking why that cannot be done has to be approached with some delicacy

Please do the needful add a "Health" tag in A&N.

I'd also really like a laughing emoji reaction.

 

[Kyle Parson]

Just check the last 5 reactions of a new account. If it is just Autistic, automatically limit their reactions or ban them.

This is why I throw in a Mad At The Internet reaction pretty frequently.

Images hidden behind spoilers are shown in the "Latest activity" section of a user's account without the spoiler. Example (not on first page but if you scroll down enough you will see it).
Suggestion: add spoilers to the Latest Activity section of user's profiles.
Fuck you @Null for making me look at Black Porn.

[Benzo Samurai]

Posts with negative reactions like "Dumb" should not be counted for the highlight system.

Why not? We like to point and laugh at dumb people. It’s kind of our thing.

Stupid posts are often the funniest posts. And a cluster of them often signals when the cow enters the thread, which is a key thread highlight when it happens.

Is it at all possible to support transparency in avatars?

it already does..

 

[PandaChai]

Really? I've just tried uploading a transparent version of my current avatar and it fills the background of the image with the middle gray (#383c42) to be square. I suppose my real question then is if it is possible to support transparent, irregularly shaped avatars?

 

[Null]

idk homie im not fixing xenforo anymore.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

please make a dark mode version of the stealth style. I'll even take a grey version.

The closest we have is the Biden or China themes, but I think there’s a real demand for a dark stealth theme.

Why is it not a bannable offense to not post thumbnails?

My best guess is that so many people do it, it would require banning a massive amount of users. Forget controversy, that would probably result in a significant drop in forum activity.

 

[Hellwalker]

I'm piggybacking off of what @Austim Spergler said but I'd like a way to see the origins of where random.txt's come from. I've only found one which was by accident and it was off-site too.

 

[Polyarmory]

I know the consensus is to keep the inventory of available reactions minimal, but a reaction sticker I feel would benefit discourse here is some kind of sticker that communicates either/both of the following:

1. This post is wasting space in the thread (e.g. irrelevant slapfighting between two users about some irrelevant detail in a post)
2. This post is too long and tedious to bother reading

Currently, there's no way to communicate this without further shitting up the thread, since "nigga stfu" is itself a vacuous space-waster post.

As for what the sticker itself should be, I don't really know to be honest.
