also, how would people feel if the new smilies looked somewhat like this?
these are just rough sketches, i can't easily make SVGs on my own though. this would probably need to be a group effort.

i'm actually not sure if that was an issue in the older boards. iirc the filter only applied when you were actually viewing posts, not replying or creating them so it's more for fun than anything else. of course this would double as a way to get past the swear filter, but this has more of a fun purpose anyway so it waters that fact down a bit. |

imo swear filter is fine the way it is. I'm sure there are bigger board priorities here. Like IMPLEMENTING THAT SWEET FORUM CURRENCY |

Idea: filtered words will be decorated in some way (background color?) and you can click to toggle them |

A custom swear filter could work for both sides. But the filter should replace words based on the viewer, not the poster. So if I replaced the swear "apples" with "pears", and Hylian replaced "apples" with "oranges", I'll see "pears" and he'll see "oranges". People who want to know what the censored word is will know since it's their own filter. As a result, swearing might devolve into non-serious inside jokes and lighten the mood overtime(?) which seems like a plus for both sides. |

While we're on the topic of the swear filter, can stuff like "GORILLA!!" and "saurkraut" be changed to asterisks? |

Or what if the filter was a spoiler thing with coloured nonsensical words instead of black bars? |

I don't really have an opinion on the swear filter, before anyone asks. What would you guys think of a roleplay board, since this is one of the top sites where everyone knows their Mario facts. |

I don't think that's a good idea. Forum Games has proven itself to be a disaster, ngl I can see a roleplay board ending up the same way |

i think a roleplay board could have its use in the forum games board, only maybe instead of being traditional "threads" it could be in real time, like a chat. maybe this kinda thing could extend into other forums, letting you switch between a standard thread and a "chatty" or "quick" thread that updates as you go. it'd be great for stuff tied to livestreams. |

I wouldn't want roleplay board since that most roleplays are usually filled with horrible OCs, metagaming and generic stories. It can end up horribly when the new autistic users like Kirb join in. This is not a good idea, as it can tarnish a site's reputation greatly as like DA. And may make it's longtime users leave from this roleplay cancer. |

Really nice and original of you to use autism and cancer like insult I've seen it being suggested before, but why can't we have a built-in chatboard? It could stand in the forum's main page or a separate one linked to the forums and mainsite. |

While I see what you mean in that it makes it feel more exciting and real, I think that taking turns would be better because it allows people to plan their posts better without feeling pressured, and the posts would also be higher-quality.

And may make it's longtime users leave from this roleplay cancer. I... don't really agree. While I see what you mean on those sites, any form of art, like fanfiction, fanart, or roleplaying can get ridiculous. It's simply what happens when you let people post stuff without curating it. Also I'm really sorry to say this but it's a low blow to actually call a specific user specific user autistic (as in "Francis the chameleon", not "this person literally is autistic and I am fine with that"). I could handle your post in my topic about art because technically, you were right. It wasn't really the greatest edit, and I was actually asking for criticism. But Kirbstar didn't ask for that, whether or not his actions made him a bigger target for it. Being honest doesn't count for anything when you're not being nice (unless it's the type of person you never want to see in your life again), so you can either be seen as the benevolent person who tries to help, or the grouchy person who isn't ever satisfied. |

it would also be cool if there were a way to embed some kinda iscribble board into an RP page. i dunno if that's even technically possible tho. |

Those are ugly, I much prefer the current sprite ones. They probably would look terrible in low resolution. |

did you miss the part where i said they are sketches and therefore not final or do you have something you'd like to suggest i change about them? |

Ummmmmmmm, dA already had a bad reputation not because of bad roleplays but because it is a safe haven for the "deviant" artists (re: fetish artists, artists who have their own inflated egos, manchildren) who would post whatever they make which wouldn't be suited in more mainstream circles and that MFGG wouldn't be tolerating dA's negative aspects (ex - Any given fetish art which would result in a lock and thread deletion, anyone being an entitled whiner and views everyone else as wrong, which would be a great way to get warned) from what I have experienced of the userbase here so you shouldn't worry about the site being tarnished in reputation if an RP section is introduced, the community has those aforementioned kinds of people not really welcome here. |

I'm not a huge fan of profanity in general, but considering that we're a fansite for one of the cleanest-cut video game series around, having constant swearing on a Mario community would be out of place. I'm not such a prude that I think all these middle school kids will be scarred for life if they see a bad word online (especially since they probably hear far, far worse things in the hallways at school). However, if you can't express yourself without using strong language, perhaps you need to work on being a better communicator. That said, I'd be willing to remove the more offbeat filters like "GORILLA!" - although I must admit that I very much enjoyed that one. Personally, I like the idea of Tusk Bucks better than a more generic-sounding Coins system. It's unique, quirky, and fun. However, I don't want to push too hard for Tusk Bucks, being the one who originally came up with the term and all. And, of course, Coins are a recurring theme in the Mario series, so those would fit in quite nicely. An RP board is unlikely to succeed. When we tried the Serious Forum Games board in 2010, MFGG probably had a greater number of people who were into RPing than there are today, and it was not a success. Also, using "autistic" as an insult, especially when directed toward a specific member, is not cool. A significant percentage of people on MFGG (and in creative circles in general) are on the autism spectrum, and not all of them are immature or socially awkward. Plus, it's simply not nice. |
