Y'all Seein' Eye v2: reddit mention notifications; minor patch notes; coming soon

After the recent Night of Kristallmopt, many of the disgraced former-mopcels were begging for one particular jannie-only feature back: getting notifications when people talk about us on reddit. Rather than put in some special exceptions for the power-user clique, we decided to make this feature available to everyone via the shop. And we already had the perfect badge to use for it:

For 10 000 DC or MBux—the same price as the All-Seeing Eye—you too can receive our Reddit Mentions Notifications straight to your rDrama inbox, so when plebbitors are shit-talking Marsey, you can jump right in to generate seethe. Plus, you get the fabulous badge shown above, made by @McCoxmaul.

Minor Patch Notes

From past week and a half (oldest to most recent):

  • Patting flipped emoji should now work right (h/t @float-trip). Also, disabling 'Animations' in your user settings won't break patting anymore.

  • Themes & readability: the Lottershe font colors were made readable for all theme choices; dramblr on mobile had the background color fixed for higher contrast.

  • By adding a navigation icon for Transfers (log of DC/MBux transfers) to the sidebar, there should no longer be any pages lacking a link to them somewhere.

  • 1 Reports1 Report

  • Modals (like when you click on images to embiggen) no longer have a blurred backdrop. It was very pretty, but we got a lot of performance complaints. If you want it back, add .modal-backdrop.show { backdrop-filter: blur(16px) contrast(1.2); } to your Custom CSS.

  • Slur replacer was made significantly faster (h/t @everyone). Enough so that people with it enabled should've noticed pages loading faster. Fun fact: slur replacer prior to the change was approximately 20% of our total server load.

  • Lottershe: Chapose won the big jackpot last time, so instead of giving him royalties anymore, more of your ticket price goes straight into the pot! Also, notifications now tell the losers who won. Three days 'til the next drawing.

Coming Soon

  • The Checkmark award will soon have a badge to go with it.

  • The Fish relinquished control over the Marseys thread backlog. There's about 150 that still need to be added. Now you get to bitch at me instead of him until I add them. I can automate most of it, but if someone who is familiar with our Marsey tagging style would be willing to redo the tags for most of these, DM me. I have a spreadsheet I can send you of what needs re-tagging, and there would be some MBux in it for you.

  • General rate of new features will be decreasing in the coming weeks. We have a pile of bugs that need fixing, and we're working on redoing parts of the code to improve performance and maintainability going forward.

  • ETA 15:50 UTC: @idio3 just purged over a hundred sidebar images for being 'shitty memes'. He wants everyone to know how disappointed he is in their taste, and going forward the sidebar standards will be somewhat pickier.

Could we perhaps add some sort of "form" to fill for new Marseys to make them easier to be added? Something like a button that prompts you to fill a form with name, tags and lets you upload a file and then you have one person in charge of reviewing them and approve them with one simple click if everything seems in order. Granted I'm not a codecel so idk if that's compatible with the way Marseys are currently added so feel free to ignore me if the idea sounds r-slurred :marseyshrug:

I really want to do something like this. I floated a similar idea internally a few weeks ago, but the general agreement at the time was that the current workflow was sufficiently easy as to not make it worth the dev effort. Having now added a few dozen using the current workflow, even with lots of automation, I'm nearly going batshit and have a renewed interest in getting some sort of form working. We'll get the backlog cleared and then I'll try to have something better in place for the future.

I think in the long run it would more practical this way, it doesn't even have to be limited to Marseys, could also be used for any type of emoji, just add a way to select a category/group for the emoji. Also a separate section for edits/updates, like changing the base file or adding/removing tags. Even if the currently process is easy it could be easier imo but that's up to you guys to decide if it's worth it :marseythumbsup:
