The ability to queue posts

posted by PMYA on ideasforphuks

This would be useful, I think. @TheRedArmy said that the deadline for our /s/Diplomacy moves would be 10am GMT. He lives in the US, so depending on his timezone, that is very early in the morning, or late at night. Queued posts would be helpful for diplomacy/modernpowers type subs where posts have to be made within a specific time range.

It would also allow us to make posts when we are occupied with something else, like sleeping, eating or shitting for example.

I understand there is probably potential for spammers to abuse queued posts, so maybe we could limit the amount of posts you can stack or something.

Super-appreciate the concern, although I've already taken that into account for our Diplomacy game. 4 AM for me is when I am up, alert, and able to respond because of my working schedule, so it's no trouble.

That said, this idea is good, although I'm not sure it has a ton of utility overall. Pembo's ideas are also good.

I was also thinking it would be good to spread out content. I tend to make a lot of posts all in one go, or none at all. As the site is so small, it's kind of annoying because I flood all/new every time I start posting. Being able to queue some posts would stop that issue and also make new posts more frequent.

That's true; I do something similar, although a bit more spread out than that, and I only post so much in a go. A queue would be neat for that as well.
