Right now, while Mainchan is still unpopular, users who reach 100 karma gain "Founder" status. This is a title you'll keep even after Mainchan gets popular.

But it was suggested to me to add a 2nd level of this. I might as well do a 3rd level while I'm at it.

This title would be reached at 1000 karma, and I guess we could do one for 10k karma but kek gud luck.

What should we call these? Super Founder? GIGA founder?

Also what colors should they have?

Edit: actually maybe at tier 2 you guys could pick your own title names. Like "Hackermans" or some shit.

How can someone create their own community here? Is the option available yet or not?

On the front page. Click the button on the right that says "Create a Subchannel".

I was checking from mobile browser and couldn't find it. Got it from desktop, thanks for the response.

Yeah you lose some functionality on the mobile version to save space for more important stuff. Sorry about that, I'll get around to it.

No problem, all the best.

Also any plans to change the name? The word chan in the name is a bit icky for general public.

I realize that but it conveys the anon part, which I feel is important to understanding the website at a glance.

I don't think there should be a level 2 founder, you can make a new title called early bird or something like that.

Heeyyy I've got over 100 karma but no Founder status, wuh happen?

As for titles how about "Double Founder" at 1k and "Double Quarter-Founder With Cheese" at 10k?

Or how about just add levels? Founder > Founder Level 2 > Founder Level 3 etc...?

What do you plan the deadline to get Founder levels 2 and 3 to be?

Do not make more levels. There should only be a few users with Founder status and the deadline to get Founder is before Mainchan hits 1,000 users.

Maybe 10k.

1k is so little. I've seen 4chan threads get more users.

Okay. (Also, can you add a user count indicator to the home page of Mainchan somehow?)

reply permalink report gild save

Cicero

just look at a default sub like /s/announcements

the sub count is more or less the real number.

I don't think anyone will be able to get 10k or even 1k karma before this site gets "popular"

reply permalink report gild save

some users already have 1k iirc

I feel like users will only post generic and uncontroversial content a few hundred times, receiving 2 or 3 upvotes each, to obtain 1k karma.

If I post anonymously do I still get this?

Anon posts don't accumulate karma since that could be used to identify anon users.

I like the idea of picking my own title for tier 2 but I still need to get to tier 1

reply permalink report gild save

>edit

that idea actually sounds really good to me. would be kino if i could call myself "Great Khagan" or something like that. as for additional function, i can't really think of any. maybe get rid of the captchas. otherwise, nothing comes to mind.

reply permalink report gild save

Cicero

tier 1 already gets rid of captchas.

Maybe something crazy for user profiles?

reply permalink report gild save

weird, because i still get them. The profile thing sounds cool though, being able to customize them a bit would be great.

oh right see recent announcements. You probably got founder before true karma.

Also if you guys want to give suggestions for actual functionalities these titles would have, feel free to suggest some, so you can all style on newfrens 10 years from now.

A free gild every month (or whatever amount you think would make it act as a advertisement for paid gilds rather than flooding them out)?

Locking custom flairs behind a karma limit could be a good incentive to contribute and a good way to defer throwaway troll accounts.
