i was thinking about it on a train ride a couple weeks ago, and it struck me that the only 2 built-in systematic things we have on the forums to combat harassment are ignore and reports, and both are stigmatized as baby narc trash

and ive been turning that around in my head ever since

if plat/mod icons can be customized on the forum stylesheet, a blue pig replacing the star would rule imo

make the blue star appear as a pig in cspam, but also give the cspam mods the blue pig as their actual mod icon forum wide

I agree with the suggestion that we shouldn’t do “avatar says the post” unless we can make it a horizontal speech bubble that doesn’t take up any more space. I’m cool with wacky style sheets but not ones that waste my time.

Someone write a script that can be used as to generate trump misspellings, and then have that tied to a word filter, so that whenever somebody writes "trump" it replaces it with a different spelling of the word

if the new stylesheet ends up being difficult to read, is there a way for users to opt out of seeing it? sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new and just regged to keep reading the succzone and a games thread when the paywall went up after new years.

According to the QCS thread about this, any new style sheets would be optional

Append a “*sniiiiiff*” to all punctuation in each post. Or just take the pussy way out and make every post begin with a “*sniiiiiff*”.

yes, for the scrolling/space reasons mentioned. If someone can redesign it so that it doesn't take up more vertical space than the default style, then I'd have no objection

Then you're free to disable the style on your end and keep browsing the default. This objection would make sense if the wacky style was mandatory, but it's not, it's optional. Let the rest of us have fun.

against word bubble "avatar says the post" because i feel like that was FYAD's thing, we should have something unique

i don't have specifics but i think the stylesheet should lean into the CSPAM name and make it look like you're watching a CNN election night special. red white and blue everything, maybe alternating pink/light blue posts

instead of a speech bubble, every post should look like a fancy press release

theres talk of making stylesheets selectable if you dislike the default, but technical questions hurt my pretty lil head :shrug:

I like this idea but maybe it should be themed after C-SPAN itself rather than CNN. I can’t decide if it’d be better to be an obvious parody of C-SPAN, or playing it completely straight to get that contrast between the factual presentation of the news and posts that read “turmp. vote 4 dady bernie bitch”
