Hello mod team, and thanks for your efforts so far.
I've been struggling with some ideas how the flairs given to /v/pizzagate submissions could become a useful part of our investigations, as currently there's no way to list / search / filter those posts. I came up with this idea which I leave here under discussion:
A practical example:
- user submits "Great news - media found a hidden pedo ring" (with good content too, worth a flair)
- A mod decides to flair it "Potential lead"
- The mod submits a link to subverse "pizzagateFlairs" with a topic "Potential lead: Great news - media found a hidden pedo ring"
Simple and efficient. All flairs would be listed, and adding the flair into the topic enables search and filtering.
- The links in the new subverse wouldn't need flairs nor content, they would only link the user to the original submission.
- This new subverse could have just one rule: Only pizzagate-mod submissions accepted (comments, sure, by all users)
- Mod team would decide which flairs would be listed (My suggestion: at least "New evidence", "Potential Lead" and "Important")
- The subverse could be linked into the sidebar on /v/pizzagate
- Users could be advised (in any sticky post) to check their earlier submissions and to ping a mod for selected earlier flairs to be noted
- The new subverse could have a sticky post explaining what's the idea, and maybe for discussion about useful flairs in general.
- In a case of mistake: Flair given but no link submitted, the mod could be pinged under the original post
- In a case of mistake: Flair not given but link submitted, some user would probably notice that and ping the mod in the new subverse
Thanks if you consider this. ping @Crensch @Millennial_Falcon @wecanhelp @Vindicator @sensitive

This is outside my my operational area.
This is a "M" level type thing, totally up to you lot to sort out.

Agree with anything that makes the cluster fuck of a subverse more traversable and easier to digest. I know mods are limited to what admin controls are implemented so it might have to be an external solution (like searchvoat)

I really like the idea of including the flair in the title rather than the little box to make it searchable: that makes the type of flair possible unlimited (we are currently limited to 10). Also, a separate subverse would give is 10 additional little box flairs. The only drawback of making the flair part of the title is that to change it (say from "Lead" to "New Evidence" or "New Evidence" to "Debunked", you'd have to delete the thread and repost it.

Good points there. I come up with these possible solutions:
While picking any solution, I guess it would be good to notify what's requested from the mods (workload). For example if a flair would be changed in a very old thread, mod would need to find the related link post in the new sub. The "ignore" solutions above have the lightest workload. Personally I'd go with the 1st option with ignore, but feel free to pick any or come up with something totally different :)

I agree AOP, this could work well. I have been thinking we really need a "gold star only" subverse to help consolidate the research...kind of like the info warfare ammo dump. But only live shellls allowed. The only drawback would be the shills *who generally lose their minds when mods try to suggest a particular activity or research direction would go wild submitting shitposts that would have to be removed, and commenting in the threads to undermine them. It would increase the work of mods, or the need for additional mods.
However, I really like the idea and have been thinking along similar lines for quite a while.

Yep, dig this too. Simple and efficient.
