There's a game that was coming out that let you play as either an active shooter or as the SWAT team that responds to it.
IMO, it looked pretty garbage to play, but seemed to be banking on controversy. And... controversy it got.
What are your thoughts on this? Should steam have banned it?

Tipster tags for comments?
I was going to post this on the daily discussion about tag, but I'm not sure it's something "easy" to implement or even worth considering. Some feedback would be appreciated.
I was thinking there could be a special type of tag or report that goes directly to the poster in a private way (like a "whisper" tag, similar to the whisper comments someone suggested).
This could be useful especially in polarizing topics, I believe.
The idea is something like this: a (somewhat) trusted user sees a comment that is worded in a confrontational or maybe aggressive manner or its unsubstantiated and foresees conflict, but instead of tagging it like "flame" for everyone to see, they tag it as "rephrasable" or "sounds confrontational?" or even "citation needed" (I'm sure you guys can come up with better names and ideas, but you get the gist, something that communicates that it could be worded in a softer, more objective way or using a source, etc.), only the OP sees this tag on their own comment and can thus react appropriately (or maybe ignore if it seems unfounded, or discuss -privately?- with the anonymous reporter) by editing their comment (possibly leaving some kind of trace of the change or acknowledging the report).
too long/didn't understand: allow giving the poster a private warning that someone thinks their comment is problematic before things get too heated!

I'm curious how many other furries (if any) have came here so far, and have a couple questions:
- Which furry communities did you participate in the most on Reddit?
- Which of those communities, if any, do you think would work well on Tildes?
Personally, I'm very partial to furry_irl, since there's a lot of friendly discussion in the comments, but I'm not sure the post content would fit very well here, unless fluff content was allowed.
To anyone confused, this and this are very brief introductions to what a furry is.

Anyone remember playing this text based door game? I ran a mud board (majormud/mbbs) for about 5 years until last year, but i could never find infinity complex. That was until recently, i found a torrent with an old MBBS 6.25 including IC.
anyhow, i cant stop playing this, and im typing all commands manually. No macros as i can't find my copy of Telix. What is a good ANSI capable telnet client for Mint?
this game is more fun with groups of people. anyone interested? get off my lawn?

Hello everyone,
Fitness is an important part of living a healthy life, but everyone's body is different. I believe it'd be a good idea to create a fitness or health group for us to share our progress, discuss our goals, and review each other's exercise and nutritional planning. What do you all think?

Moving the vote count to the bottom of comments has been suggested a number of times, and since the comment tags are disabled for now anyway, this seems like a good time to try it out since we won't have those being shown at the top right now either.
I'm definitely not certain I'll keep it this way, but at least for now, a comment's vote count is now shown on the Vote button itself at the bottom of the comment (unless it's your own comment, in which case it's still shown at the top).
Let me know how it feels to you, I figured it would be an interesting thing to try out at least.

Given Tilde's dedication to user security and privacy, it would be awesome if we could use GPG encryption in PMs.

This is of course already possible with base 64 encoding and some work on the user's side, but adding the ability to encrypt messages as a native feature would better encourage this as a security measure. This is a standard feature on a lot of darknet markets. Tildes could allow users to upload a public GPG key. Then a private key could be held entirely client-side in session storage to be used by JavaScript.
This feature would probably add too much complexity to the site's simplistic front end. But I'd be interested to have a discussion on the pros/cons.

Something I noticed as I am writing this, I don't see any sort of formatting guide. While there may not be any sort of formatting yet, like italics (maybe that's italicized?) or bold, if I remember right, markdown is something besides just plain text, right? If I'm just doing a big dumb here, lemme know, haha.

When I was automatically logged out from spending some time away, I found that when you log in, you aren't redirected back where you were attempting to go, but rather, back to the tildes homepage. It's be nice to be redirected to your original destination.
Edit: 4. When you reply to a comment in your unread page, it should be marked as read.

I really enjoyed reddit's Place event from April 1st, and the button pressing event was also a rather interesting one. I don't currently have any ideas for what kinds of events could be done (other than another event like the Place) but would definitely like to see some community-driven events in the future.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
