I'm headed out the door but first a quick proposal for what I think is a cool feature in ST.

Posted by Mop (228 lbs) (aka rburriel) Dec 3 '09, 08:40

Tagging of posts. Here's my idea. Creating multiple boards (like on HSX) was a bad idea. Instead, I propose checkboxes for a number of different tags. Then add a drop-down that lets you pick one of those tags and filter the posts. Tags could include:

- NSFW
- News
- Tech
- Tech Support
- Sports
- Fantasy Sports
- Bargains
- etc.

Thoughts on additional tags?

I honestly think this is a good idea, and probably relatively easy to implement. Furthermore... - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 08:45 8
- Realistically, this place moves too quick and no one would tag posts -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:47 7
  - If someone needed help with a computer problem (or Excel, etc.), I think they'd tag it. And I'd use news, bargains, tech tags all the time. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 08:56 2
    - and we could have little icons! -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:57 1
      - And avatars! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 08:57
  - NSFW gets taged. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:47 3
    - rarely. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 3, 08:49 1
      - it might more often if you could tagged while making the post -- nm - zork Dec 3, 08:51
    - Because it's a one click action, not a tag cloud...I suppose if there was a limited number of choices to tag... -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:48
We could use the "#" to tag posts. And we could use the "@" to reply to people. -- nm - Dano Dec 3, 08:42 1
- reverse it -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:43
And avatars. - Spawn Dec 3, 08:41 7
- worst, idea, ever. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 08:44 5
  - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Dec 3, 08:45 4
    - Make them show on Slacker but not Slicker. - Spawn Dec 3, 08:46 3
      - I don't see the point of them at all. - znufrii Dec 3, 08:47 2
        
        Then the red NSFW tag does so as well. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:59 1
        
        not really, it doesn't change the spacing of posts - znufrii Dec 3, 09:00
- I hope he implements Facebook Connect for avatars -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:43
rainbows and unicorns -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 08:41
snark -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 08:40
