Forum Thoughts and feelings

What are things you think about the new forums?

---

For me I dislike the post and like limits. Those just make me not want to use the forums.

Also I would love a poll creator.
What do you think?

80%[▉▉▉▉☰] Yes have polls!
20%[▉ ☰☰☰☰] No polls

Everything is good, only minor thing I don’t like is trust system. I want to post images, videos, gif,… directly.

[Xian396-1819]

they should add polls to the privileges of trusted people.

edit: also i have no qualms with the post and like limit tbh

[JellyandJam-1179]

I like everything accept for the like limit. You can’t limit positivity😁

[Bastion-12282]

how exactly does this trusted system work?

Obviously we don’t know how the OW team have defined their trust levels, but there’s some good information about them on the Discourse meta:

more trusted members in the forums have privileges like being able to post links, images, maybe videos among other things. it’s in a thread in the announcement forums. here lemme give a quick quote:

Trust Levels

We want to reward users who are positively contributing to the forums. Over time, these players will be rewarded with the ability to post more often, embed images/links, and more.

also here’s a few quotes (which will have to serve as links to threads here in the general forums for more reading like about how to gain more trust)

What is “Trust”?

For those who don’t know, the new forums works under the newly implemented “trust” system. It hasn’t been clearly or implicitly explained yet, but some of the community do have a slight guess at to what the trust system is and how it works.
As of now, it would seem that all new users start out on a basic level of trust with no discrepancy. You have a limit of 50 likes, 100 posts, and 3 threads per 24 hours. You have the ability to make posts, include emojis, reply to others, and quote others. You can also use any of the text editing tools available.
This is how everyone starts out. The only way to go below the basic trust level would probably be to be flagged constantly, which would probably result in a temporary ban or even a permanent ban via the Code of Conduct. So be good!

To leave this thread and visit the topic directly, just click the “Welcome to General Discussion - Please Read!”, and it will jump you to the topic.

Below are some Q and A styled items that you can expand by clicking the “>” (play) button.

The second one, linkdude’s thread, is really good.

[linkdude240-1984]

Wow, thank you!

Nice post yourself, all we can do is help people during this transitionary period.

[Bastion-12282]

I just now realized what the summary thing is...

It’s for TL;DR… OMG this is perfect!

[linkdude240-1984]

Yup. Tons of other cool things you can do with Html and Markdown too!

[Solastraea-1148]

I didn’t know anyone even read that post on trust I made, it dropped to the bottom of the front page instantly

[linkdude240-1984]

I thought it was a good one, but just so you are aware you can check the voews on a post; it’s in the statistics portion just below the OP

[Boomz-11105]

I used to enjoy surfing these forums. Cant be bothered with the endless scrolling and unnecessary emojis.meh, change for change sake. Forum is getting as stale as solo-q comp.

[Bastion-12282]

One thing I like is you can see views on your post, just assume half actually read it.

[Kris-13927]

I dislike the limits as well and I like the idea of polls but I think they might implement that into the trust system

[Shame-1847]

I don’t like the weird reply system on mobile where u can click the drop down, no more quoting, just doesn’t seem to have the same easy flow as before and u don’t really see the conversation in the same way
