Thanks Travis. It seems that a visual re-design will be in my near future. A ranking system is a great idea. The idea behind the posts separation is that you can search according to the city you are in. I guess that a short paragraph at the top of the homepage or an about page would be a good addition.
Quick question. From a user standpoint, is creating an account more annoying than filling out a captcha everytime you want to post? Or should I find a way to avoid both?
- Travis 17y agoPersonally, I'd rather fill out a captcha each time than have an account. I just don't see a reason why I'd need an account. However, I suspect that this might be a pretty diverse issue (i.e. people feel strongly about each side, so there's really no right answer and compromise is difficult). Why do you really need a captcha? Have you seen for sure that spambots will target you? I'd recommend (at least initially, while it still scales) that you just let people post. If spam becomes an issue, moderate. If that doesn't scale, then I'd move to a captcha system. But don't build it in unless you know you'll need it.
- goldham 17y agoI never really thought about whether or not it was actually needed. Good insight. I think I will remove the requirement to post but keep the accounts as an option for users to track their posts. I'm also working on the voting system right now. Also, I gave the site a visual makeover. Hopefully it will be easier on the eyes now.
