It seems that sites like Poal and Voat just become a huge garbage dump with random subs scattered throughout. Wouldn't it make more sense to have major-categories which are created by the admins and then sub-categories, then sub-sub-categories..., layered below those? USENET was structured that way which made it much easier to peruse to find points of interest. I would even say that all sub-categories would need to be applied for so that they are placed into the hierarchy in the correct order.

Just a thought.

idk, i made made to post more "dirty" stuff there and i keep the cleaner stuff to because there is such a drastic difference firguring people might not want to hear growling and stuff... then for anything else.

I actually like there certain niche groups, its actually something that irritates the hell out of me on voat... like if there is content being posted that you dont like.... just block the sub, imo.

that is pretty how it is now with different subs.

with flairs..... thats what i wish they would introduce... sort by flair... like my or even sort by live shows or full albums verse anyone could post but i ask them to flair it so you know what you going to watch beforehand (also the timestamp because some can be 4 minutes, other 30 minutes). Also (if allowe) submitters can add thier own flair that is appropriate.

One idea i just while editing this, is to be able to add flair while submitting. but its not a big deal

I would like even if in if you could flair MSM articles, or alt media but yeah

but yeah, i get what you are saying... voat is a cluster fuck anyways who thinks the entire site is /v/whatever "heavan forbid" you remove a off topic post because the hyenas come in and alts etc... then you are downvoted to shit... fuck that place.

I somewhat like the idea, but that cannot be easy to actually do. It would have to be a back burner project if it will ever happen.

Edit: As the site grows and subs grow with it, the idea may be a now or never thing.

Is there a minimum time requirement for users to exist before creating a sub? For example, Saidit.net needs an account to be two weeks old to create a sub.

I keep trying to create a sub, after I click on "create a sub", and then click on the "sub name" textbox, I immediately get sent to the home page.

You must be at least level two (which means a green name). It shouldn't take long to gain points, hon.

Okay, didn't know that.
