A "who is online" filter.

The mobile site kinda sucks on Firefox for Android. Needs some pinch-and-zoom controls.

I think we should change the QBN logo because I got used and bored of the current, and also you could put up some sort of challenge or contest for the design of the new onw. Godspeed.

The "Picture Association" thread should get a mute so the individual posts don't show up on the front page.
After a while it gets annoying. Especially because out of context.

If we're keeping the post-voting mechanic across the board, perhaps go the hacker News route and restrict negative downvoting either for a duration or on a ratio basis.
It's downright negative seeing posts getting downvoted for no apparent reason.
.
Although, I guess, quite interesting seeing correlations across threads and building up an idea of what sort of limp dick tragedy of a human being feels the need to downvote everything they see posted by people they've got an issue with.
- haha, you flaccid cretinsdetritus
- Yea it was better when it was just in the question threads. I agree it causes some negativity.set
- 'Crack is destroying the ghetto'ORAZAL
- I think at the least it should only be visible when viewing the thread by "votes". Should be hidden on "oldest" and "newest"set
- I don't like this voting thing on QBN.inteliboy

AI support. A system that compares images to prevent timeline.

no profile page.
no online handles everyone should have the same name.

Do we have a Slack channel?
It'd be more effective for direct conversations and those who love to rant and troll each other.
- It'd be like the mIrc wonder yearsMaaku
- yes, we DO have one! http://qbnpro.comchukkaphob

Combine/delete some of the pandemic-related threads. We have four about slightly different aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic, but with lots of overlap:
Coronavirus
Quarantine of the Day
Predictions???
America is FuckedPolitics & the Donald Trump thread have been completely taken over by coronavirus talk too.
I remember when mods deleted a second politics thread meant for non-Americans to post in without being drowned out.

All the upvoted / downvoted posts displayed on profile, if not public, at least to the logged in user. Public would solve a lot of community related issues, and / or create new ones but at least it could serve as a way to save stuff for later

Each month the user with the most downvotes gets banned

you don't have to get rid of the downvotes but getting rid of the bold vote count right next to all posts is what is changing this site for the worse.
i've already commented on why in the other threads. reasons being trolls, lazy users who don't read only count votes, the reddit effect etc
- so tacky and also so irrelevant and uselessuuuuuu
- If you get rid of me you get rid of half the downvotes. A step of getting me band is a step in the right direction.O0O0O0
- that might work considering the number doesn't appear until someone votes up or down. everyone just stop voting. comments still drive the front page.uuuuuu
- yurimon-16
disable side note comments option. sometimes you just want to post something that doesn't require feedback. and sometimes you do.
will this change the dynamics of the site to much perhaps. what you think? just curious at the responses.
- bad idea, i thinkBennn
- What Urine is really saying is: 'Dear QBN, I always want to have the last word. Please make it so no-one can (rightfully) disagree with me.'Continuity
- terrible idea - one of the worst I have ever heard.fadein11
- yes, i figured so.yurimon
- a forum with no way of replying lolzzz - genius. you should create a startup - onewayforum.com. could be a winner.fadein11
- is this because of moldero's post, two before this one?monospaced
- nah. just thinking off youtube comment features option. some things are posted as is. some posts you want feedback.yurimon
- Now then, of all the people here, who might be the sort to want a forum for spouting shit with no way of having shit flung back?detritus
- based on youtubes feature.yurimon
- you said that alreadymonospaced
- sounds like the youtubes featureFax_Benson
- yeah seems people keep missing that partyurimon
- lolyurimon
- I'd mention it againFax_Benson
- gotcha it's like that function on youtube but better cuz it's qbns!sted
- wow its like the youtube feature right?yurimon

REMOVE THE DOWN VOTE ON QBN
Down-voting brings so much negativity. Other websites pandering to thought uses down-voting with a purpose so important articles rise to the top. On QBN, down voting is used on commentary and as a trolling tool to send bad vibes regardless of content or truth. It brought on a disgusting mob-like mentality to QBN and is revolting to see how the down-vote can be used as manipulative tools to support a majority of people who empower hypocritical, ignorant, closed minded thinking.- Just ignore it like an adult. All it really does is expose those who are childish enough to actually feel insecure about a pointless vote count.monospaced
- it would be more adult not to ignore it. on the scale of the web, the up/down system on QBN puts it on the lower totem pole of ideasPaulAllen
- lol - do you actually care? I rarely get more than 3 upvotes and more often multiple downvotes and I have to say I have never ever given a single shit about it.fadein11
- oh shit just realised - you are another troll account, I wouldn't have wasted my time responding :)fadein11
- I agree, i believe there could be a better system for archiving purposes as it seem it up dn voting system was intended for. doesnt create much value unlessyurimon
- becoming a 12 year old is valuable as a user experience..yurimon
- I have an inkling of why you may not like the system yuri.fadein11
- I just Googled "Downvote" and a photo stream of yurimon showed up.utopian

Ja, alles klar.Continuity - You rarely notice upvotes or downvotes if you dog ear.DRIFTMONKEY
- 'mob-like mentality'
Get over yourself, love - they are fictional numbers. Have another Mogadon and calm down.face_melter

Add a detail to user profiles that logs how many upvotes and downvotes they've made. Doesn't need to be anything more than a base value - no link throughs or cataloguing, just a blunt representation of that person's input.
Also, can I have my username in orange?

Voting does nothing for conversation or community. Just look at my above post, nobody has provided a valid counter arguement but four people have downvoted. Its because YOU ARE LAZY and voting is an enabler of lazy internet users.
- i dont advocate removing votes, it drives the front page, but i recomend removing the BOLD ASSvote count so people don't conciously think about ituuuuuu
- BOLD ASS SHIT. Seriously why bold? IT MUST BE IMPORTANT AND RELEVANTuuuuuu
- I thought the internet was inherently for lazy people in the first place.Continuity
- its because the lazy asses were voted into power. originally it was for argumentative workaholic nerds.uuuuuu
- in the old days the vote count would at least be puny barely readable size and a super light professional looking greyuuuuuu
- There were no vote counts in the old days. You cray craymonospaced
