Title: Wetfish v2 Forum Brainstorming Thread
Post by: rachel on May 02, 2020, 10:39:23 pm
We're coming up with ideas! Yam and I are on mumble right now discussing what the new version of the forums will be like. Feel free to post your own suggestions!

(https://www.sevenstepswriting.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Image-2.jpg) (https://innovationleadershipforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/brainstorming.jpg)

So far we've decided:
- Laravel back-end API
- Vue front end
- 4chan style quotes
- Being able to earn coral in more ways besides posting
- Lottery system
- Threads hould auto-update when new posts are made
- Replying on same page
- Show "X People are readnig this thread" / "X People are typing a reply..." in real time

- User run shops beyond just item tipping :)
- Diminishing returns on back to back posting to discourage single-man spam threads
- Faucet to even further discourage spam

i do like the idea of anyone being able to upload some items to sell and then getting the corral from it

Yes! This has been on the todo list for a while, but we're still trying to iron out exactly how it would work. Should there be an approval process for new items to make sure they aren't garbage? Should there be a limited quantity of pixels that you have to pay to unlock?

When you create an item, you shouldn't be able to create an infinite amount. How should that work? You pay for the "materials" to build each copy of the item you make?

Should you be able to craft items and put them on your avatar without selling them? What about selling items that you didn't create?
Title: Regarding diminishing returns for coral earned
Post by: rachel on May 03, 2020, 04:00:38 pm
I think it should be based on a few different factors. How many times you've posted in a row in a single thread would lead to the biggest reduction in coral, but the total number of unique posters and total number of recent posts in the thread should also be taken into consideration. Otherwise, if it  was only based on sequential posts, two people could work together to spam and avoid the penalty

a really contrived morality system, where people can  hit red/blue on your posts and  how far into each one your balance ends up, gives you a + or - to coral earned per post.  Going high into one or another gets you a free halo/devil horns which  can be lost by moving your morality score.

If spam discouragement infringes on normal use cases, it would be frustrating and no longer fun to post here.

The point is that we want to have more minigames and things to do on the forums besides just spamming for coral. That way people make posts because they have something to say, not just because they want to earn coral

here's my suggestion: anyone can create items, there's no limit to how many you can create. you set the price when you make it. if you want to wear something you made, you have to buy it. anything you make gives you 80% of the coral price but 20% goes to something fun and communal.

why shouldn't you be able to create an infinite amount?

oh also if you click someone's profile it should show you how to Steal Their Look, where they got the items from

- Ability to sage threads
- Rules for threads defined by OPs (certain items must be equipped before allowed to post, unable to reply more than once without somebody else replying after you)
- Anonymous posting

i think someone already mentioend this somewhere, but cross-thread posting would be really cool

There are a couple ways we could handle cross-thread posting. One way would be to allow thread creators to add unique tags to their threads, like a "#cat" tag for the cat thread, "#funny" tag for the "funny shit my dudes" thread, etc. Then users can add tags to their posts and they automatically appear in multiple threads based on those tags.

Or we could have a "repost" button, kinda like retweet on twitter or or reblog on tumblr, which allows you to select other threads to post something into.

Which would you prefer?

so, maybe a thread owner could create a tag to allow their thread to be xposted to, from another thread? that's a very new idea, it could be interesting

Right, so if you are the thread owner you could specify a unique tag for your thread. Then when somebody is making a post they could add tags to it and it is automatically posted across all matching tags.

Just an idea I've been playing around with.

It might be simpler to just use a "repost" button, because then you can crosspost other people's posts as well?

Ability to "steal" posts from other people, whereby you crosspost it into a more relevant thread and steal the remaining coral reward from the original poster!!!

have a button that lets you skip between the most frequently tipped posts in a thread, backwards and forwards.

some widget somewhere that quietly changes image tag to video if the URL is a video, and vice versa
rachel i know you're gonna say THE NEW FORUMS WILL ALLOW THINGS TO BE UPLOADED but i'm not gonna download every video or image i embed..
i use the wrong tag so freakin often then i have to modify the post and change it

of course this could go terribly wrong if it misinterpreted the type..

also could we make anything enclosed between asterisks * and not in a code block, italics?
Title: Re: Wetfish v2 Forum Brainstorming Thread
Post by: here cums the fuck truck on July 30, 2020, 02:34:07 pm
to clarify my options for italics are typing out a series of square brackets and slashes
or hunting for the tiny button with my mouse

i don't like either of these. im very old, please cater to me.

when you click a video and you're playing it, have the option to put it in a little bar at the bottom that lets it play as you surf around the forums

using that with the firefox popout would be amazing
Title: Re: Wetfish v2 Forum Brainstorming Thread
Post by: here cums the fuck truck on July 31, 2020, 04:51:06 pm
instead of tipping being two different pages can it just be a little thing that pops down and says "enter tip amount" and if you tip an item it opens a bigger popup

basically never leave the page

you could even use a terrible javascript popup like 2002!

hey I've got an idea to help improve the usability of this now, before we release v2

imagine like this, where every button has text next to it

that way it's more readable and easier to click !!!

Your avatar is a virtual pet and you have to feed it, clean up its poop, and exercise it.

What if your account had different stats like thirst and hunger? Kinda like minecraft

You'd get thirsty and have to go to the Wetfish Bar

But if a fish was thirsty it just has to open its mouth.

attach a poll to an individual post or reply instead of an entire thread

allow thread replies to contain a poll

leaderboard of tipped posts
top in last day, week, year, all time
"hot" (probably like, posts getting coral at a rapid rate, recently)

I'm imagining a shop system where you can start a user shop with like 2 item slots for free but then each slot past two needs to be unlocked with an increasing cost in coral. This rewards people with successful shops

Something like


Slot 1: Free
Slot 2: Free
Slot 3: 1,000
Slot 4: 2,000
Etc.


You can swap the items in your slots out, but after swapping a new item into your shop you need to wait a few days before doing it again. This should allow users to experiment and iterate without allowing them to abuse the system

It would also be nice if there were a way to show a preview of the content in a thread? Maybe the OP could set a topic picture or something that's displayed in a thumbnail in the thread list
