On the leader board page, can you add the following:

-A ticker symbol to show who the mods are.
-A section on the page to show how many credits we all have.

Can you increase the debate comment character limit from 2,000 to 5,000 or whatever you are able to do?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, the badge system works a bit differently, it can have up to 5 mins delay before the badges appear.

I noticed you replaced 'random topics' with 'newest topics' a few days ago and would like to express my wholehearted approval of this decision.

I'm not sure what's going on, but sometimes when I highlight someone else's text, there will be a "Quote this" pop-up, and sometimes not. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong. Thanks.

Suggestion: Put a button on edited posts that allows viewing of pre-edited version (or versions in the case of multiple edits) of said post. Probably not a very small change code-wise but the mafia community will sing your praises if such a thing is done.

Hi, I am afraid that the pop-up that you get from your browser or OS, I don't think it has anything to do with the website itself

Hi, yeah, it would involve some time consuming changes but could you please explain how it would help the Mafia community? Just to understand the usecase better.

Maybe you can have it where individual threads can decide if they want to track editing or not.

<br>

Currently there is a kind of unofficial rule in the game that nobody is allowed to edit their posts because I guess it "allows scum to say something scummy then cover it up" or something. This leads to a bunch of people making weird spelling mistakes, getting shafted by their autocorrect, accidentally saying something they dont mean because thwy are in such a hurry to post (mafia can be a fast paced game at times), etc. and not being able to fix their posts right away for fear of displeasing the mob. This rule would become redundant if the above proposed change was put into effect.

As far as coding goes that would be just as burdensome to the coder. Technically more so, though I doubt it would be much more. My point is that it would not be less.

Yeah, it was meant to be as a further suggestion, because I think he might not want to force everyone to keep their edit history showing all the time maybe.

Is it possible to code in a "Quote this" bubble, or add a "Reply & Quote" button? It might make quoting easier; manually adding a quote is kind of time-consuming.

Predicted answer: Time-consuming and/or don't really see how difficult it is to quote individually.

More than likely time-consuming and in that time you should be able to get used to the system so the change would actually be useless for you and existing users.

If you do take Supadudz's religion suggestions bear in mind that as one of the only members of the website who actually adheres to Taoism, I would like to have you name it Taoism and not Daoism.

Daoism is closer to how to say it but Taoism is the way it is actually spelled if you understand the Chinese writing system of the time. Their letter T is pronounced as a harsh 'd' as opposed to a 't'. That is why it is said as 'Daoism' more so than 'Taoism'.

I found out what is causing the glitch (at least the way I had it). If your Windows 10 notifications are linked to the browser, it causes you to be unable to click some buttons properly without tabbing out of the program and instead switching to an invisible overlay that's occuring towards the bottom-right of the screen (where the said Create Post buttons were) or even if you click 'reply' to interact in that way with the browser.

This is more of a Windows issue with how it does invisible notifications than a browser issue. It occurs due to you instantly clicking on the screen while getting a notification, usually (this can only be done by coincidence in general).

Enlarged the private chat input field, now it should be a bit more convenient to write larger messages.
