Proposal for reactions feature: separating structured user opinion (both positive and negative) from reward-modifying upvotes/downvotes

in steemit •  7 years ago 

By the way, you might notice that one of the tags of the parent post is #steem-standards: that is the tag I started a while back to discuss standards that most if not all Steem clients should try to agree on and adopt in order to provide consistent user experience when dealing with the same shared database of information and user actions.

That tag is feeling really lonely. And unfortunately Steemit has still not adopted a language standard; and I was hoping for some kind of explicit standard by now that is more nuanced and useful than the nsfw tag hack we have been using for more than a year. At least moderation seems like it is going to be in the pipeline with the Communities feature; though I would love to hear more information and have more discussion about how it is going to be implemented.

Anyway, it has been over a year since I introduced #steem-standards and I may have to admit that the following meme is appropriate:
Mean Girls It's not going to happen meme: Stop trying to make steem-standard happen. It's not going to happen.

I made a forum for it, as a child of the Steem Developers Forum.

https://beta.chainbb.com/forum/steem-standards

Unfortunately this might be a situation where I need to bend the "first-tag only" rule to get other posts (like this one) to show up in that forum. Either that or we need to work on a tagging standard :)

Awesome! Thanks.

Yeah, that first-tag rule for forums is tricky. I'm not sure if you actually should bend that rule.

However, I would like it if the topic URLs (like https://beta.chainbb.com/topic/steem-standards) show all posts that include that tag like steemit.com does (although steemit.com also seems to purge old posts, which was why I linked the hashtag to ChainBB in the first place). The forum URLs (like https://beta.chainbb.com/forum/steem-standards) could continue being limited to posts that use one of the appropriate tags as the first tag.

Good call. Adding this to my endless list of things to change. I'll try to get it in the next release.

It seems like an important initiative, especially while it can still be implemented with the ecosystem being small. Later it might get much more difficult to do something like this. Even if we have guidelines and not official "standards" that would at least be something.

thats good

I am still trying to wrap my head around the "nsfw" tag in reference to the majority of people in the world who do not "work" in the conventional, Western, modern sense... whether they be children, students, disabled, retired, pensioners... or simply not gainfully employed due to choice, economics ...

or being as rich as @arhag.

I shall now Subjectively and Personally added this Sideways smiley---->:)

The nsfw tag probably doesn't translate well, either.
