DwhitetheGamer 867 March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 Hello. I do have a suggestion, the Boop System. On another MLP Forum I go to, there's a thing where when you click on an avatar or the name of the user, and the user options show up, there's a link to boop that user. Both users can boop back and forth in a boop war, or just boop once and be done with it. May I suggest a system for that usage? 3 Your resident Sonic the Hedgehog fan. Props to Laika for the sig.

So you are asking for some granularity of the reputation system on here? Sort of like 'Reactions' on Facebook and Discord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the benefit to a hover menu that has other options (like "boop") ... or the more common 'poke'. One would be used to get another persons attention. Imagine that with Broohoof, Love, Shock, Boop, Hug, and Laugh? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Facebook's "Likes" as you show above or even Discord's "Reactions", It would offer members some simple additional ways to express their view on a post. Whether or not that could be successfully implemented, well... ask the techs. 3 "Always watching - Always lurking." Signature by @Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiri 7,289 March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 So, I am interpreting this as something similar to the "Poke" button on Facebook. Is that correct? 2 hours ago, DwhitetheGamer said: Hello.

However, I know that there might be some who get a sense of enjoyment out of it. If there is also a way to mute/block boop notifications, either entirely, or from specific users, then I think that it could be a fun feature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fhaolan 4,484 April 1, 2017 Share April 1, 2017 A couple of things I glean from this: 1) Different types of 'Brohooves' being available, to include booping and... I dunno what. 2) Being able to Brohoof/Boop directly on a person's avatar rather than a specific post/status. 3) And inspired by this: Being able to direct the attention of a person to a post. A kind of "I recommend you look at this" notification. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kind of "I recommend you look at this" notification. That would be a value added feature to the board, and I would personally use that all the time. A recommend thread or post feature would be a novel idea. There have been many times that I have run across posts that mention something that I know would interest a friend on here, and I would usually link them in Skype, Discord, or post something in the topic just to bring it to their attention. Come to think of it, it also builds connections with people in subtle ways. It would reinforce the thought in the recipient of that type of notification that a specific person listens and pays attention to things that interest them. Laying it on thick here, but this is a brilliant idea. 1 hour ago, Fhaolan said: 1) Different types of 'Brohooves' being available, to include booping and... I dunno what. @Lavo told me he wants broofs. It's like a brohoof, but slightly more casual. For the Mods, you could have a special Fluttershy Stare one ... just for lol's. Seriously though, I would recommend a laugh based one, and maybe something in the way of reassuring someone. I mentioned hug for that, but anything along those lines would work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD ACCOUNT 185 April 1, 2017 Share April 1, 2017 so what you are saying is that it can be like pokes from facebook kinda ? :3 instead it will be boops lol i like that ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177 April 1, 2017 Share April 1, 2017 Only if its as adorable as it sounds..... With like a animation of someone booping derpys nose. My peep is against bullying....

Snow Frostflame 3,568 April 2, 2017 Share April 2, 2017 Ah yes, the boop system on the other forum is pretty fun, and I'd like to see it added. Then we could have boop wars over on this forums now. To those who think it would be annoying, trust me its no more annoying than getting a brohoof or any other alert. Though if it comes here there needs to be something in place so you don't get spammed with boops. I could be wrong, but on the other place as soon as you look at the notification they can send you another boop. That could become very problematic on a forums that is 20x bigger.

I very much agree - I'm not a fan of excessive notifications, so having a boop-block would definitely be positive. In my opinion the feature would be fun as long as no one deliberately spams other users with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
