How To Improve Actualized.org - Mega-Thread

introduce a stack overflow section

@Tyler Robinson There are tons of high quality freelance developers who will do almost anything you can think of. Non-technical people think they got 'scammed' because they hire the cheapest developer and expect them to replicate something like a twitter app for minimum wage or less and then are disappointed with the results.

They didn't get scammed, they got exactly what they paid for.

I worked for a freelance developer as an intern (websites not apps, but roughly same idea) who was probably one of the best developers of the particular framework he was an expert on in the country. He worked freelance because it offered him more flexibility, more pay, and he wanted to grow his own business. But some of the bespoke web apps he produced were exceptional. 

And actually, one of the groups who are MOST likely to scam you are overly corporate IT companies, not freelancers. They may often charge a company ridiculous prices for an average (at best) end product that takes them quite a long time to produce. For example my university paid Oracle around £15 million for the bit of software that manages our students information and class timetables, and it is buggy, slow, looks like it was built in the late 90s and is almost impossible to navigate. They also paid a further £1-2 million for follow up maintenance. And it's not like that software does anything all that special or unique.

If you want a more expensive option then hire a cheaper dev.

Is community brainstorming. 

Create a section that is Brainstorming.

Make it possible for mods to restrict a user from commenting in journals. It's very annoying. 

That would be a huge blessing.

Yes

That could be possible, but then they can't have their own journal in that section, but you could solve that by giving the ajournalistic people their own journal section.

 if the mods know that you are struggling so much, maybe they can agree to simply remove all the intrusive comments you report without it being that big of a deal every single time?

i'm sure we'll find a solution though. stay strong♡

@Carl-Richard since nothing is going to be done about it as we know, the only temporary solution to it is what some other user has suggested above. 

Just removing all Intrusive comments and keeping the journal clean. 

Sorry there's just not much other than that that can be done.

Honestly? More courses. They don't necessarily have to be as big or grand as the Life Purpose course. I'd buy shorter courses on:

- How to use Psychedelics for spiritual growth

- How to reach stage Yellow & Turquoise thinking

- Leadership / Healthy masculinity

 

Best one yet

Thanks for understanding.

I'm asking for this request, either of these can be given to journalers as an option - 

Option A - Allow journalers to delete comments they see and don't appreciate on their journals.

Option B -  Make a rule that lets users to comment only after obtaining permission from the journaler, give the journaler a notification every time a user wants to comment asking for a permission. That is anytime a user wants to comment on a journal, they are automatically asked to take permission from journaler before the comment can be posted. Once the journaler  gives the permission by clicking "yes" then the comment will be posted. Do this for every comment every time. 

Give any of the above options to journalers. So both parties are satisfied. People who want to comment can still comment. At the same time if the journaler does not appreciate how a user comments they can either delete or not give the permission to comment. 

This way we will have more autonomy over our personal content. 

It will be great if either Option is alloted to journalers

Maybe create a discussion for the high quality books that were read from other people instead of just book reviews.

@Leo GuraAs I have said before, I don't have the option to have notifications. I have it turned on in the settings, what is it that I am doing wrong? 

Edited December 19, 2022 by AndylizedAAY
Same reason.

[AndylizedAAY]

@Leo GuraSome new posts that I might want to create can be difficult to categorize since it can have spirituality, mental health, sex, and family involved like with this post for example:

I would like an "Unsure" category for the forum please.

I wanted to put "@Leo Gura".
