State of the Soylent: Community Roundtable

posted by NCommander on Monday November 07 2016, @12:44PM   Printer-friendly
from the whadaya-say? dept.

So, as per usual, I like to occasionally check the pulse on the community to make sure that people for the most part are happy and satisfied with the day-to-day operation of the site. For those of you who are new to the community, first, let me welcome you and explain how these work.

When I open the floor to the community, the intent is to provide a venue to discuss anything related to site operations, content, and anything along those lines. I actively review and comment on these posts, and if one issue pops up multiple times in comments, I generally run follow up articles to try and help address issues the community feels is important before someone decides to take rehash and form a spinoff. Feel free to leave whatever thoughts you want below.

In contrary to my usual posts, I don't have that much to say to this, so to both the community and editorial team's relief, I'll cut this off right here before it becomes Yet Another NCommander Novel.

    Allow the submitter five minutes to edit or delete their submission after posting it to the queue; a cookie could be used to identify the session.

    Speaking for myself, this would prevent a LOT of embarrassing typos.

    I agree. Sometimes copy & paste doesn't work correctly and if you miss that it may look weird or wrong.

    Dev Note: We could do this based on ipid if the user weren't logged in. We'd have to exclude the TOR gateway from this functionality though and people would be able to delete subs from people behind the same bit of NAT (not a huge problem since you can walk into the other room and smack them silly if they do).

      Or just a random five-digit code returned on the "Thanks for your submission" page. Low security is OK.
