Ideas for ILX

yeah I had to clean that up one time it was horrendous

here's a draft use case

- a user posts an image, it has an X day time to live on the server as user-viewable; after that it stays on storage but isn't user-viewable; after X more days, it falls off of storage and just goes away forever because nobody cares
- mods can preserve images and bring them "back to life" if they are important to thread content
- mods can also rapidly blow away images in case blah blah legal issues / user request

If stet could find an image-hosting service that was free and lasted forever, then sure, I'd be all for it. I'm a serial image poster, especially when they make no sense and have no relevance to the thread.

But that said, Doctor Casino OTM. On the Hüsker Dü countdown thread, I hosted all the images on Photobucket which all turned into hotlinking images recently. I had all the images still on a folder on my hard drive, so I was able to re-upload them all through Imgur, even though the broken images are still scattered throughout the thread. No big deal, not big enough at least to warrant extra expenses and coding.

That Scott Baio impersonator is gone forever though.

oof hadn't thought about the malware angle, that's a great point

somewhat related, it seems like youtube links used to be embedded in a different way, and a lot of old embeds are now blank, no link url, just a big white space - could something be done abt this?

I'm working on an image upload thing for Zing — the big thing with images is the bandwidth costs, so starting with just posts from it will let me figure out what we're realistically looking at there.

Brilliant

I use the tinypic iOS keyboard for image posting sometimes. Works well.

You just tap the pic in your photo roll and it paste a URL. Annoying thing is you have to add the http:// but then it works fine.

Actually, I just went into the settings and you can change that. And even add bbcode tags.

Did we ever get any consensus on 'hide thread'

It's annoying that after flag posting Turrican someone, the thread jumps back up to the first post.

Hide thread would be amazing

Hide someone would be amazing

a hide-ing to nothing

Hide site

hide self ftw

It was all we had left to try

I guess you're joking, but hide a poster would... not be a good thing

isn't that just a killfile?

Disable thread creation

gradually whittling ilx down to nothing

thumbs up

Compared to other boards, there's very little dissensus here to begin with, so I doubt 'hide poster' would be an improvement.

Why on earth dyou think we'd be targeting the dissenters

An "all bookmarks read" button (clicking it would remove all unread bookmarked threads from the top) would really come in handy. Really really.

Really.

Oh, that'll do, ta

thanks, loving your work - let's keep collaborating!

maybe we could come up with a format of discussing discographies that's less labor intensive than listening threads and artist polls

talking about specific songs rule but ratings and completism both seem obsolete

S/D
classic or dud
TD: x vs y

POX

haha, indeed

I was thinking of something with a kind of rollout though, where everybody would discuss the same songs... I guess maybe the poll format is the best for this...

some of the s/d c/d threads are really great but ime the POX format doesn't invite much discussion

A wiki for poll results

max of five posts a day

min of 20 words per post

minimum 1500 karma points to post

there are lots of ilxors whose posts wld be greatly improved by condensing them to under 20 words

isn't this what people were doing on the Eagles/Elton/Joel threads?

I really need a "flag every poster who posted to this thread" button. it is extremely time-consuming to click and confirm individual posts when it should be obvious that everyone on certain threads is a terrible idiot who needs to be tempbanned.

auto-bookmark any thread you post to

Then 3 or 4 of you would have every single thread bookmarked.

haha

a "steam-whistle" feature that locks Tombot out of any thread in which he's shouting at ppl, for 23 hours

a script that threadbans Morbs automatically whenever he posts "bye"

"liking" posts, but only for estela

feel like if we paid a giant multinational consultancy firm $200k to review ilxor.com these are p much exactly the recommendations they would make

they are good tho

Beatles forum. Quarantine it
