The warning was there in the preview, I just missed it

[b]Looks [i]like BBcodes still don't like tags being mixed together.[/b][/i]

@Ellri

To be fair, most people are going to use Ctrl+B/I/etc. to add the tags, (or the buttons) which will obviously never have that error. Besides, although it'd be nice for it to work regardless of the configuration, it really isn't necessary, nor is it too much to ask IMO for users to just fix their BBCode in such a case. EDIT: added [noparse] so the quote would work.

Fair enough. I must have missed (or forgotten, also possible) the other person.

Again, the double tap issue doesn't seem to be mobile-specific but device-specific. I personally disagree with avoiding doing things just because a specific device (so far you are the only one to have your problem IIRC), but I guess that isn't really my decision to make.

@Altered Tundra I preferred the pop-up, color ratings as well, but if more people prefer how it is now then so be it.

On mobile, I have to select the reply button twice. The first time causes the ratings to appear, and the second time actually selects the reply button.

@LegendBegins

I'm on mobile right now, and this isn't happening for me. If I tap the quote button the quote is made after a second, simultaneous to the ratings popping up.

I wasn't saying it'd be hard to do or prohibitive, @Captain Jordan, but I do think it isn't really necessary, and complicates things more than it needs to be. In most cases, a simple list can describe a roleplay well enough for someone to know if they will be interested in more info or not. Of course there will be some niche ones that won't have great tags, but fantasy; fandom, modern, etc should be broad enough to be applicable. Just my two cents.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Perhaps custom tags would be ideal.

@UltikanaRe

But that would require moderation, and would make filtering impossible. It's easier to have a broad list of tags, fit for most (if not all) circumstances while keeping the list manageable.

The School in the Woods - Mystery/Fantasy Roleplay

Kyle Messor ^{Featuring: Amy Snow} As Kyle stared into the fire, sitting alone on a makeshift log bench, he was utterly puzzled. Death rarely spoke when there wasn't, well, death nearby, and when it did it was always calm, albeit possibly irritated at Kyle for one reason or another. But Death was speaking – screaming, rather – to him now, and as he looked around, it was clear to Kyle that nobody was dying any time soon. Even worse, Kyle had no idea what Death was throwing a fit about – it was all in Latin. He could make out a few words though: cheat, a number – it could be 40, 400, or 4000; he doesn't know Latin well enough to tell – and so close. Alone, these details make absolutely no sense, and thinking about it is only making his headache worse. Kyle groaned, rubbing his temples. A few moments later, he heard someone stop, behind him. They whispered something to the other girls they were walking with, and approached Kyle cautiously. "Kyle?" Amy asked, concerned. "Are you okay? You look pale, and in pain." She sat down on the log next to him. Kyle looked up at her. That girl from the library... Amy, I think? "No, I'm–I'm fine," he answered, gritting his teeth in obvious pain. Can you please shut up already? he inwardly chided Death angrily. LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET, CON SECTETUR ADIPISCING ELIT! Death responded. Kyle groaned. Amy was not convinced. “Are you sure? It looks to me like more than just a headache,” she challenged quietly. Kyle looked at her annoyed, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. “I am fine, Amy.” He sighed, looking at the fire. “I expect your friends will be getting tired of waiting,” he added. Amy looked over her shoulder at Zaylin and Luca. After a moment, she learned towards Kyle and whispered in his ear, “I know what you are.” If it was possible, Kyle became even more pale. “You… you do?” he said, worried. Amy looked at Kyle like a puzzle that desperately needed solving, before laughing. “Yes, you’re sick of course! C’mon, let me take you to the nurse. Maybe she has some aspirin?” she insisted. Sighing again, Kyle reluctantly stood up and followed her, winding through the crowd in search of the nurse.

A limitation of "x posts to graduate" is that someone could spam out posts and graduate, in which case they'll have privileges until they are caught out, at which point it may be too late. Of course, I'm sure you have already considered that. How about a minimum time AND post requirement (not just OR)? This means participating members of the community who have been around some time would be promoted. Of course, you'd include your more sophisticated factors too.

@BBeast

Or only allow 'New Members' to post once per x minutes, and if they keep posting exactly x minutes after the last it's very likely they are a spammer trying to game the system, and it can be detected and handled appropriately. EDIT: Or maybe require that everyone does a captcha before being graduated into the next tier, or at least for the first graduation. That would filter out all the bots, at least.
