I’ll launch a new blackpill forum if I believe it has a potential userbase of 50 or more.
The blackpill forum will have unique features that no existing blackpill forums have.
The blackpill forum will have unique features that no existing blackpill forums have.
- Anyone can create an account, but not anyone can participate in all threads.
- Women are allowed to join, but thread starters can limit what types of users are able to post in their threads.
- Female users will probably be disallowed in the vast majority of threads because it’s a male-centric forum.
- The feature prevents unwanted users (e.g. females) from “ruining” threads where they’re unwanted, and allows them to join into discussions where they’re welcome to contribute.
- Verification
- Members can apply to receive verified checkmarks about many traits—male, female, ugly, short, autistic, surgeon, YouTuber, etc.
- To apply, a member has to submit to the mod team photo evidence of the trait they’re applying to verify. E.g. sending a photo of one’s face and holding his/her username written on a piece of paper, to verify (s)he is ugly.
- You can search for users who possess specified kinds of verifications. E.g. you can search verified surgeons and see the list of all users who’re confirmed as surgeons.
- Content categorization is done through tagging rather than through division into separate subforums, except the Ratings and the Off-Topic subforums.
- Having lots of subforums fragments the forum too much and causes niche topics to get fewer views, which leads users to post about niche topics in the main section instead of in the subforums dedicated to these topics. E.g. if there’re the subforums “Surgery”, “Mewing”, and “Fitness”, each of them would get a small fraction of the views the main section gets, so most users will opt to post about these topics in the main looksmaxing section to get more views.
- Users can click on tags to view only threads that have that tag, as if it’s a subforum. E.g. clicking the [looksmaxing] tag shows threads related to looksmaxing.
- Users can filter by more than 1 tag. E.g. [maxilla]&[surgery] shows threads tagged both [maxilla] and [surgery], providing easy access to the exact topics that the user wants to read about.
- Reacts and reputation are 2 totally separate concepts.
- The upvote (thumbs-up) button is not a reaction. Clicking it awards rep to the upvoted post’s author.
- Daily upvotes are limited so users save their upvotes to use on high-quality posts only.
- Reactions don’t affect reputation.
- Members’ 3 most-received reacts are displayed alongside their avatars, usernames, titles, etc. E.g. if a member’s most-received reacts are JFL, cope, and rage, these 3 icons will show on all of their posts. This feature shows members’ personalities.
- Rep Spending
- The reputation number that’s equal to the upvote total is separate from the “bank” reputation available for spending. A user can spend his/her reputation points, but the rep number displayed on his/her profile is always the total of all rep ever earned. E.g. Bob has 10K rep and spends 1K on a cool username font; the rep number is his profile and in his usercard is still 10K, and he has 9K left to spend.
- Spendable “bank” rep is private and invisible to other users.
- Members can sell items to other members for bank rep. Does not affect the profile rep stat.
- Intelligent Bumping
- Low-effort bump replies are prohibited.
- Bumping is a feature that costs spendable rep points to use.
- Users can spend a number of rep points to bump a thread.
- The bump feature is limited to once per hour per thread per user. The “batch bump” feature shall be used if one desires more frequent bumping.
- Users can “batch bump”. Batch bumping is when a member spends a lot of rep points to get a thread to be automatically bumped every 30 minutes over a specified period. E.g. a member can spend a few hundred rep to make a thread get autobumped every 30 minutes for 3 hours straight, resulting in 7 total bumps.
- Bump fees are more expensive the more replies a thread already has and the more times the thread got bumped before.
