First impressions:
* This is just nifty.
* You want people to agree to an empty ToS? WTF? Fill it in or eliminate the checkbox.
* It would be very nice if OpenID could be used to create an account / login.
* This is something I'd actually use.
* Can moderators ban trolls from a channel by nick and/or IP?
* Can moderators choose individual posts to make "featured", (i.e. sticky at the top of the channel) for a limited period (12 or 24 hours maybe?)
- ignifero 15y agoHey sorry i missed your comment earlier, i thought nobody would ever answer. I started it as a side project, so i 'm still fixing things. - Will fill up the ToS soon, promise - OpenID et al (facebook, twitter etc) is a great idea, but i will wait to see if this can have any traction first - Yes, the block list will be added soon - Sticky is a nifty idea, i was also thinking of adding a 'newsroom' post to give more exposure to recent posts. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement, appreciated
- HedgeMage 15y agoTo be honest, I think that supporting OID/OAUTH would help you get traction -- lowering barriers to entry is especially important when you are just getting started. Building something like this has been on my "someday, if ever I have free time" list for a while now -- I know plenty of people who would use it, but only about 1/3 that I've shown it to have registered, all citing the need to make yet another new account. Integrating a multiple auth solution like Janrain Engage[1] should take no time at all, and it might help texchannels get traction.
