    It was sort of like being a vampire - once you invite them in, there's nothing you can do. I thought that was pretty cool.

That is pretty cool, but unintended. I'll have to test if that remains to be the case.

    As far as the feeds, I've always thought it was a little weird that ignored users don't show up in global feeds. That's kind of the point of "global feeds" - to see the stuff that isn't specific to you.

I am going to be creating a toggle where you can select the ignore behavior on global. I'll be making that moderation post I mentioned after I implement that. There are some community-based signals that can get you pulled from the global feeds (mostly a very high ignore-to-follower ratio, i.e. 10 ignores and 0 followers), but people should have the option to see everything that passes through. I'll probably roll personal ignoring into that.

    As far as "hush" I think it's pretty subtle. You want to make it obvious what it's doing, screen that text back.

Do you mean decrease the contrast on the hushed user's text? That would make sense.

'K.

1) Mute my ass. Reply to this comment.

2) Leave my ass muted. Reply to this comment again, but with a shout-out.

I'll try to respond to either and let you know what I see.

Hey - you could even leave my ass muted! It'd probably make your life easier... ;-)

Better yet, try it the other way for a couple weeks and then ask people which they like better. I'm a big fan of keeping UIs and preferences as simple as possible and I'm pretty strongly of the opinion that "global" should pretty much show you the same thing you'd see as if you were logged out. That's the point. Your community signals are all well and good, but if I'm cruising "global" anything with over 1 share is likely to not be a spammer anyway.

Si, senor.

Your ass is muted. I had to unfollow you too to do it. :)

CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

Not sure if this is even something you care about, but your login page kinda confuses 1password. The box you guys have designated as "username" is actually "email" which means rather than going ZIPPIDYBAM with my lazykeys I have to copy-paste. That's why we're now in a fight.

Huh. I have never used 1password. I'll look into it.

I forgot the shout-out part of the vampire invite: kleinbl00.

Wow. I am almost tempted to leave it this way.

kleinbl00  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·  

...but once I'd drilled up there, I could reply down here.

It makes sense to leave it, but make the way it works a little more common-sense and consistent.

I am going to have to walk through it in the code and in action. However, I think that I know what is going on, and there may be a way for the vampire to get in without an invite. That much, we can't have.

By shouting himself out with an alt account? How would you prevent that?

kleinbl00  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Don't be almost tempted. However, you should fix it a little bit. Because I had to drill up to this comment to be able to reply...

Don't worry too much about the 1password thing. I think there was some re-jiggering that screwed some stuff up globally; I deleted the login and re-added it and it's behaving now.
