Give it a try. You can make a poll pretty much anywhere using '!POLL' and then list options directly below it. There will be a button to edit the poll, and a text area there to add more items.
Polls actually help out the site because I can share them to other places.
This addition was in response to a recommendation by @JasonCarswell.
Thank you!
Two new Ideas4Matrix to consider:
Rather than the ability to reorder the PostWhenever queue, perhaps just a box to check "Override and post this one next" - but a single box can only be checked at any time.
Flag/Mark/Note/Read - the ability to self-note (not auto-note) when I've seen a comment. Ideally this should be useful and crossover with messages. I used to upvote everything I read, except for meh-bad stuff, and for really terrible stuff I'd downvote. It was bad enough reading unmarked meh-bad again - but now that I can't upvote my own comments I'm re-reading a lot more - of my own stuff. A save/flag/mark/note for comments with a feed/thread would be good too.
Lol. I just figured out how I'm going to do re-ordering on the whenevers. The problem is its driven by creation date and I didn't want reordering to mess with that data and turn it into a lie. Integer priority indexes become a mess. I've never liked that in databases and didn't want to add it to mine. The solution... just duplicate the creation timestamp into another field that can be toyed with.
For avoiding re-reading meh, is the comments seen vs not-seen not doing a decent job? It is for me. Does that differ from other people's experiences? You are basically asking for the same feature, but instead of auto-marking, using manual-marking. That has to be tedious. I usually just make point when revisiting a thread that has new comments, to read all of the new ones (usually just 1-3), so that I never have to go back.
I assumed, just recently - thus my new idea.
I'm assuming you mean for Messages? I have no idea. I have 2201 unread messages at the moment. I've wanted to utilize it but have been utterly disappointed ever time I bother. Why? Because it would never let ME be the arbiter of what I've "seen" and "not-seen". (Sometimes I can go for quite some time without checking - and maybe have not-much-time to review. And thereafter next time I look - it's all GONE!!!) I want FULL control over MY messages - not some auto-algo. Regardless of how tedious it may seem to some. IMO, it should be an easily toggled preference in the settings for Users To Decide. Ideally, it would feature most of the useful functionality of most email clients (prioritizing, saving, topical folders, etc.), even if SaidIt didn't have all of those.
Sure, many folks may prefer or lean on algos to sort their stuff. But IMO, all social media platforms should have a default to start but users should have the inherent ability to decide how they wish to interact (including "moderation" filtering) with things. Power to the user. Also means less work for the moderators, I suspect. Add some kind of personal backup download thing and maybe it could be revolutionary.
I don't know if this is a stupid concept for OCD fastidious data hoarders or something that could actually be a novel game changer. I suspect those with disciplined tendencies towards personal order may appreciate the options (ie. programmers, researchers, scientists, teachers, etc.). Whether it could be a draw for tenacious folks with autistendencies or the normie world at large - thanks for even considering all of this. I can't even imagine coding this stuff. Development and production of media is the overwhelming complexity I understand, that is also taken for granted.
