๐Ÿ‘‰โŽ 1-Click SKIP Post Categorization ๐Ÿ”€โœจ

As we continue to work our hardest to make Similar Worlds as compatible and user-friendly for everyone,
for those who do not wish to Categorize or Type-Label their posts before publishing,
[b]we have now added a feature which allows you to SKIP Labelling & Categorization (Step 1 & 2) during the post creation process.[/b]


1) Create New Post - https://similarworlds.com/post

2) IF you do not want to correctly organize where your post should be,
you are free to use the [c=800000][big][Skip Categorization][/big][/c] [b]button[/b], to [b]"1-Click Skip" Steps 1 & 2[/b].

3) You simply carry on with the creation of your post, as usual:
[b]Title + Content[/b] [i](+ Audience)[/i] ... [b][Post][/b]




Your post will be Categorized as: [b]"Uncategorized" [Random][/b]

[sep]

Do note however, that it is not only beneficial for the community as a whole, that posts be correctly labeled (so that users can find they are interested in, from the Groups/Categories they are subscribed to).

It will also benefit you, the poster, to have categorized posts,
since once our improved post feed relevance goes into effect, users will see more of the posts they are actually interested in, and subscribed to,
and less posts from unsubscribed groups and unfamiliar users.

Kind regards,
-The SW Team

Half of my uncategorized posts are related to abuse in some way. Why the fuck would that go in โ€œfun and gamesโ€?
Nuno ยท Admin
@SW-User Well, you can always put them on the most appropriate category. You're not forced to put under Uncategorized.
SW-User
@Nuno There is no appropriate category. Thatโ€™s the issue. This isnโ€™t brain surgery.
Nuno ยท Admin
@SW-User What category would you suggest? We can always consider creating it, if there is no appropriate at the moment.
SW-User
@Nuno It really depends on the post. Maybe allow users to make groups again.
Nuno ยท Admin
@SW-User Alright. Whenever you have a specific suggestion, you can let us know.
SW-User
@Nuno I love drugs.

@Nuno not to hijack this (sorry @SW-User) but there probably could be a substance abuse/addiction/something group in the struggles category. I don't think there's anything specific about that yet

[quote=KaliKali]I love drugs[/quote]

So this is your suggestion for the "most appropriate" category for your abuse posts?...
Andrew ยท Admin
[quote=KaliKali]Half of my uncategorized posts are related to [b][u]abuse[/u][/b] in some way. Why the fuck would that go in โ€œfun and gamesโ€?[/quote]

@SW-User, these categories are all available:

[b]Trauma[/b] > https://similarworlds.com/trauma

[b]Struggles[/b] > https://similarworlds.com/struggles

[b]Self-Help[/b] > https://similarworlds.com/self-help


Related Post Types: [b]Anxious | Upset | Sad | Asking[/b]


[quote=KaliKali]@Nuno It really depends on the post. Maybe allow users to make groups again.[/quote]

You are free to use any of these, amongst many other options, depending on your post topic or mood at the time.
SW-User
@Nuno No. I didnโ€™t have a specific abuse post in mind so asking for a specific category was meaningless, especially when I already specified it being uncategorized. You said to let you know about suggestions for a specific category so I did.
SW-User
@Andrew Relates to abuse, not about abuse. Come on, dude.
adorbz ยท 26-30, F
@Nuno the I love drugs group is clearly related to substance abuse. It's not an exact match but as Andrew said before, even if its remotely related it's fine. If you're not happy with the wording you could make a more appropriate one ๐Ÿค”

The "Addiction" Category is also currently available:

[big]Addiction[/big] > https://similarworlds.com/addiction

@Andrew / @Nuno
May I suggest that the "mute" on @SW-User could be removed now that you all are talking to each other rather than fighting each other? Dialog is more constructive way for everyone, I believe?
Andrew ยท Admin
@adorbz, we have been migrating tens of thousands of Groups today alone,
and have been working in priority, mostly in the order of incoming requests.

No pretending was intended.

It can take some time for migration/consolidation of posts to complete, but most of the posts should already be there:

@SapphicHeart I have just checked, and @SW-User isn't actively restricted.
(She was not restricted at the time you asked.)

However, if any user triggers certain flags, such as by breaking certain TOS, their account can become limited for some period of time.

Thank you for letting her join the main boards again. No matter what caused it.
