The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Can the code for spoiler text be change from the bb code style \[spoiler\]\[/spoiler\] to a code like $spoilertext$ or something? This would be easier and faster to type in. I think the Dollar sign would be ideal for this, because it is available on pretty much all keyboards I know of. And even if it’s not available, the alt code for it is pretty easy [alt]+[3][6].
 
And if you change tags, could it be possibly to safe the overall tag change, after saving the tag with [,] or [↵] by pressing [enter]/[↵] again and exit the mode? Would be very useful.

That’s how it is already. We don’t do both ways because after a week of airing we assume people are at least aware of the episode title and we don’t want even more tag bloat.

On the other hand, disabled downvote on spoilered images…That’s just sad. xD How you just can’t let it go.
 
It seems even more meaningless to me than disabling it on every image. If someone already added a tag to their filters (spoilered/hidden), then the goal has been achieved, right? Isn’t the real issue when people keep encountering something they can’t/don’t filter (eg. a fetish)?
 
And we have had the discussion about forcing people to full view what they hate being wrong before.
 
I want to praise the experimenting and cleverness of the add-ons, but the words just won’t formulate because of how pointlessly stubborn trying to cling onto a bad idea looks. :p

We have too many people that we know have things spoilered so they can spot it immediately, downvote from the image list and never load the image (or even see the thumbnail). If they hate something so much that they want to downvote it despite not even knowing what it actually is, then they best be willing to go that extra click and page-load for it.
 
And I’m not even talking about “contentious” stuff like fetishes or memes, I mean purely innocuous things like “flutterdash” or “straight”.

I suppose I should probably mention it in this thread because it gets mentioned on image comments on a daily basis.
 
Some sort of ‘like’ or +1 feature we can give to comments.
 
Personally I would actually suggest that if we do this, it not actually be displayed publicly because it can so easily turn into a “well my comment got a lot more +1s than yours did so obviously I’m right” type deal.

I’m very against this. The userbase already makes too big a deal of the scores of pics, this just makes that worse.
 
Also, if we implement a +1, the userbase will demand we implement a -1. Twice as much work for the mods.
 
Also, this would probably bring us back to the days before we had forums when a lot of people tried really hard to make every pic all about them (it still happens now, but it’s not nearly as bad).

Now that we can select the spoiler type (Thanks, BTW, I love it), would it be possible to associate it with a user’s cutom filter?  
E.g.:I could have a “Work” filter that spoilers “breasts” and does nothing when hovering and a “Home” filter that also spoilers “breasts” but un-spoilers the image when mousing over.

@BigMax  
Essentially a way to tell the poster “I like this post” without saying for the twentieth time that day ‘I wish we could [like/favorite] comments’.
 
IDK. I’m not really suggesting it because I see too many flaws in the idea, it just feels like something that should be addressed in this thread considering how constantly it gets mentioned elsewhere.

Actually, I have an idea for the forums: Being able to sort threads from newest to oldest. So you can have the most recent threads on top, right after the stickies.

@The Frowning Pony  
That just seems like it’s giving the trolls one more reason to touch themselves inappropriately, because now they know they can upload 100% value-free garbage like chickun or recolored photos of Hugh Jackman and anyone who downvotes it is going to have to burn an extra few seconds of oxygen to do it. (still advocating for those two to get permabanned, by the way)
 
Forcing a load-page-to-downvote paradigm should be combined with some kind of rule where users who exceed a ridicuously high n↓ / n↑ ratio get kicked to the curb; there’s way too much unambiguously worthless trollspam here as it is.
 
@dt  
If the mods ever feel like retiring in comfort, they could introduce a system like the SA Forums where you can pay to get other users banned, or change their avatar! That would be sure to go over well and not cause any problems or gunfire or riots at all!

@TexasUberAlles  
As long as they are tagged, it’s your own choice as to whether you spoiler them or hide them entirely. Nothing personal here, but let’s assume a bunch of people spoilered the artist:texasuberalles tag for <insert reason here>, and all those people would blindly downvote every single pic spoilered with that from the thumbnail; maybe the same people would not only downvote, but also leave negative comments once in a while all the time as well.  
Would you rather have the above, or would you rather have that those people would just stop complaining and downvoting those pics, ignoring them completely (ie, hiding the tag)?
 
See where I’m going with this? If someone uploads “100% value-free garbage”, but they tag it as such, why bother? Like, seriously, I don’t care if people downvote the garbage because it wasn’t tagged; it becomes another matter if people have actually taken the time to see what tag is what, and then want to downvote it nevertheless.
 
Also, if you’re still reading this, now replace “100% value-free garbage” with “artist:texasuberalles” in the above paragraph. And whether you agree or not, we’ve had enough of those easy drive-by flutterdash downvotes. If you reached the point where you downvote something purely based on the spoiler image, you really have to take a moment and ask yourself if you wouldn’t be better off just hiding the tag completely.
 
TL;DR what part of “hiding a tag because it’s 99.99% garbage” is so difficult to understand.
 
EDIT: now stop bitching about this because you could have said your thing before it got implemented in another thread that was up weeks before it actually happened.
Background Pony #CC27
Feature suggestion: When someone tries to tag an image with a tag that’s not in the database, bring up a confirmation dialog or page asking whether they really want to create a new tag; including the warning from “What Tags to Use” on pointless tags, and suggesting that they search for synonyms and alternative spellings or wordings to make sure an equivalent tag doesn’t exist.
 
I’ve accidentally created tags through mispellings a few times; a confirmation system would have helped.
 
(May have been suggested already; I haven’t read all 26 page.)

For DNP posters, I know that we have the DNP list and all, but perhaps, for people who check artist tags before uploading, it would be helpful if the artist’s tag description said “DNP”? Seems useful, now that we have tag descriptions.
 
I know, I know, people should really check the DNP more. But it would prevent more slip-ups.

Yeah, I like this idea better. The amount of times I’ve written “oc ony” is getting out of hand.

@Background Pony
In other words, a glorified tag spell checker? Wouldn’t simply highlighting the unknown tags in red (for example) be enough?
 
Red/green colorblindness is the most common kind of colorblindness, so using red and green to distinguish them is an outright bad idea. And a lot of monitors aren’t true to the intended colors (or get less true as the viewing angle moves off 0 degrees) so really any sort of distinction based on color is not great. Put them in a bigger font, maybe. Even that’s not optimal.
 
But I think the idea of making it outright explicit like C9F0 suggested is better. If you’re creating a new tag, it should directly ask you if you meant to create a new tag. Maybe Twilight Sparkle will decorate the library or castle walls in an upcoming episode, and you really did mean to create Twilight Spackle. If not, there’s no missing, “You can’t add any more tags or click Submit until you tell me if you really meant to do that.” The less you leave up to interpretation, the less errors.
