This was an objectively bad episode of Star Trek, however it was the first episode of this season of of SNW that didn't leave me deeply disappointed and angry at what Secret Hideout is doing to the franchise. Why? Because they tried. They put together their couple of braincells and tried to write a self-contained, episodic story that actually goes to a different planet and deals with an issue involving aliens and a sci-fi concept. They failed at everything they tried but I appreciate the effort. If one day they can do what they tried here but with an actually good, logical story and less nuTrek tropes they might have something.
Coolness. I got into Midjourney for a bit, can't wait til we can generate that level of quality without subscription fees and artificial corporate restraints.
So on Mainchan how would a mod go about say creating an announcement post that doesn't allow replies or shutting down any further replies on a post but still allowing it be viewed?
Ok after typing my first novel of a reply this idea hit me, how about a simple css solution? Hiding a user or sub just adds a class (to their posts or links to that sub) and the class is just set to display:none in a snippet of css that only loads for the person who's hidden things. Might need to rejigger a little bit of styling to make sure everything still lays out as intended but that seems like it'd get around the query and refactoring issues.
Hmm. Then I'm at a loss for suggesting a workable solution without being knowledgeable on the codebase.
I feel something like this will become a priority soon though. If we continue to have far right frens showing up to the party but still want people with other viewpoints to join as well those people will likely need to know they'll have tools to filter content to their liking. If the best on offer is hiding subs from /all and hiding things tagged NSFW/NSFL/P that still leaves enough vectors for people to see content they'd rather filter that it will turn away potential users.
The NSFL filter only works on posts/subs voluntarily tagged by their creator. And, as I've harassed you about before, filtering NSFL also removes violent content in addition to hate stuff. Since I personally don't care for the hate stuff but I'm fine with violence/gore/etc, the NSFL filter doesn't fit my particular use case just as an example.
Also blocking a user doesn't hide their content so let's say a user has a name like u/NiggerFaggot (sorry to single ya out NF, your name actually brings me back to Xbox live lobbies before everyone got all offended) and you block them. Well that does nothing (visible) because you've still got NiggerFaggot on your screen when the black guy you're blowing sees your phone screen and now your annual interracial gay gangbang is ruined... or something... just spitballing oddly specific situations here.
Guess this all boils down to a request for a more granular and air-tight method of content filtration than the current tags offer.
Thanks for info. I'm guessing that means that if a post gets reported a mod can hit Approve to clear the reported status? Still doesn't seem to justify having the approve link there if a post hasn't been reported.
You da man

Booty is life
Huzzah!
Ok. Guess I'm taking the L on this idea then. Thanks for coming to the table for these requests in general BTW.

Ah k. I can't really code lawyer a way around that one. Good on ya.
Does that preclude some "if { post = $reported } then { show($approveLink) }" type action though?

Could remove DELETED if the comment has no children
