Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

Does the word paremovedo still get mangled? The Japanese game that's like a slot machine with little metal balls falling down pins.

Edit: yes it does

I have tried to write the name of the dish pasta e fāgioli here and it took me forever to figure out why it was getting caught in the filter lol

I guess it's nice to be so far removed from that slur that it didn't even register for me without spending way too long pondering it.

Btw this phenomenon is known as the Sremovedhorpe Problem.

Lol the link got got. It's the Scūnthorpe Problem and Wikipedia has an entry on it. Super interesting if you like nerding out over this stuff.
