Operation Audacious Phoenix

Progress from the last several weeks...

Recreated:

• A ton of the features that the moderators use to keep an eye on and enforce the site. As with everything, there's still a long way to go there, but the progress is invigorating.
• Nearly everything to do with the Find RP search tool as it exists now.
• All the prompts and tips for OPs of LFRP topics, such as the "close" and "reopen" buttons, and also the "renew" button which allows you to "bump" how long your topic will appear in Find RP search results without needing to actually post anything new.

Added:

• Some new tools to make life easier for mods, for example an easier interface for them to help folks change their account birthdate.
• In the Find RP search tool: a ROMANCE genre definition slider, to go with the magic, tech and combat sliders
• In the Find RP search tool: an "only my age group" filter to the Find RP search
• In the Find RP search tool: "require sexual themes/allow sexual themes/disallow sexual themes" filters. If you combine this with the romance slider, you can probably indicate a smut-only RP or a partial plot/partial smut RP and etc.
• Added a range of disability-friendly features to how genre sliders are set and explained, so that vision impaired users can better interact with and understand them too.
• The ability to hide ALL RP ideas from a particular user from your Find RP search results. I know some users have historically had to block people to remove all their RPs from their search results, because their RP tastes just weren't compatible. Now you'll be able to unblock them and still not get a bunch of irrelevant RP Finder results.
• An interface to see all the people whose RP ideas you've muted on RP Finder results, and unmute them if you want.
• Old LFRP topics will automatically have (closed) added to their titles after a couple weeks of no interaction from the OP.

Changed:

• I tweaked the layout for the Find RP interfaces and search results.
• Retired the various icons used to indicate different range combinations. The new layout does a better job of explaining itself, I think.
• The site now remembers your last selection on the "only my age group" and sexual themes filter for about a month since your last Find RP search, so you don't need to keep re-setting those to get RPs that match your preference.

As I rebuild, I keep stumbling across features I had completely forgot we had. Gawd this site is huge. Re-writing the help docs (and doing a series of feature spotlights in the news!) is going to be a major project all on its own.

   Can we get the ability to save a search as a template that you can then run whenever you want with a single click? Maybe put a cap on 10 free saved searches that can be added and edited, and then bump that number up with Epicness or something as an additional feature. Make it functional for all but give perks to Epic members with it.
