/op/ - OPost/Random

=-=-=-=-=
Concept
=-=-=-=-=
No set topic, the purpose of the board is an alternate thread mode I'll call OPost for now:
In OPost, whoever makes the OP has the ability to enable/disable optional thread features at post time, like those found in threads on other boards. The OP can also modify certain, superficial CSS values of any individual post made in the thread, or the CSS of the thread as a whole. These changes have no effect outside the thread, but within the thread they override browser cookie settings where applicable.

OPost takes the idea of the OP setting the stage and tone of a thread and gives it some aesthetic trappings to make use of and enjoy, whether for other anons or for their own sake. It doesn't fundamentally change the relationship between OP posts vs. replies, but rather adds a new aspect to it, and none of the settings could be used to modify the actual contents of other anons' posts. As since OP is the only one who has access, everybody in the thread knows who is responsible if some change does occur, making a unique interaction in the thread between the OP and other posters should they identify themselves.

It is a board I would be very interested in using, and I imagine the thread mode could complement different topics and posting styles better than the default thread mode.

Suggestions
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Concerning development, I would look at dogfooding customizations already implemented in other boards (/s4s/, etc)
- Probably best as a red board with the rule for no porn dumps, since GR5 enforcement that would only take away from the OP's agency. Otherwise it would make more sense as a blue board.
- In the same way you get an autogenerated code for post deletion, the thread creation prompt should have one so that the OP canmake modifications on other devices.
- The OP should be able access the individual post options in the usual post drop-down and pop out like the BR/WR forms we have for desktop and mobile. When the changes are set they are immediately changed on the OP's page while the changes will appear on refresh for everyone else.
- Only one post or the whole thread can be set at one time, and a cooldown for any OP changes per thread would be present to keep everyone in relative synch

Pre-Thread Customization Ideas

- Images (/news/)
- Spoilers
- SJIS (/jp/)
- Forced Anonymity, Username, or Tripcode

Live Thread Customization Ideas
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Change default theme of thread
- Highlight individual posts with select colors
- Set current wordfilters for thread for everyone
- Toggle spoiler on images
- Other Fun™ CSS alterations that work on both desktop and mobile

Just starting ideas out if anyone has any suggestions or criticism please reply.

This would be neat.

Inside this special board, give each OP or thread-comment an upvote and downvote button like reddit and see how the community reacts

Boy if you're going to bring about that kinocringe at least do it 4chan style.
For example, let the OP hide individual posts by default for other anons, so anons know exactly which posts get OP's goat.

now THIS is an idea
