Adding more labels in Creative Corner?

Aphelion · 03-01-2008, 04:12 PM

I know we have all the trigger/ed/abuse etc that is required but wouldn't it be helpful to add additional labels that indicate what kind of work it is? Personally I'm more of a visual person and prefer to look at someone's art work rather than poems/stories and opening every single thread just to check what is what seems daunting. It's not a major thing but would be helpful. Dunno if anyone feels this could be of some use?

That's a good point actually. Something like 'visual' and 'written' or something....

Queen Crabbit · 03-01-2008, 04:44 PM

That annoys me to Maja, and is half the reason I don't go in the CC any more. If it wasn't put as a lable, perhaps a thread in there asking people to indiciate the type of work in their title would work...?

We could have labels that reflect those sections that are in CC on the main site as it were (the main site and forum aren't really seperate anymore)

So Poetry, artwork, photography and short story/prose ?

The other advantage of that is that with RYL v3's spazzy search tools, you could do a search for all threads containing a certain type of creative work, as well as plenty more besides.

So yeah, I think it would be a good idea - well done

What about Music?

Only there are a few people on here that write/record their own songs and stuff.

&, just to point something out, what if something's say, SI triggering AND poetry etc?

I totally agree with this. I think having a system so you can easily tell whats what is a great idea and I really hope it's put into place.

T'was my concern - might also take away from the actual triggering labels, but, that's less important.

Good suggestion Maya!

Just to let you guys know, the mods are now discussing this idea with Harley to see whether this will be workable from an admin/moderation perspective.

In addition to Chel's "music" suggestion to be added, I also thought we might need a label such as "computer art work", or some better name to include those sorts of photoshopped images that some people design.

.... or would that be included in "photography" or "artwork"?

And would collages fit in to artowrk?

typsee · 05-01-2008, 02:42 AM

ah!

I checked on the Deviant Art website, and I think its called 'Digital Art'.

The Hierophant · 05-01-2008, 03:21 PM

Excellent post.
Kudos!

Also, it may improve peoples self esteem, as I'm sure people feel bad if there are lots of views and no replies.

typsee · 06-01-2008, 05:14 AM

I'm still concerned about the fact that Waimee and Chels brought up, in that these labels that let people know what sort of Creative work is being posted, will stop people from using the trigger labels, seeing as you can only choose one label to go in the label spot.

Harley suggested on the mod version of this thread, that perhaps a system could be worked out using the thread icons available, and that a thread icon can represent a type of creative work, such as -

- for photography

- artwork (painting, drawing, collages, cartoons)

- prose/poetry/short story

or

- digital art / computer generated stuff

What do you think?

crazykat · 06-01-2008, 05:21 AM

I think thats a good idea typsee

Kaytii · 06-01-2008, 06:28 PM

good idea typsee/harleyy

Queen Crabbit · 08-01-2008, 02:45 AM

I think that would only work if someone had to pic an icon, although a post reminding people to do it may help if that's not possible.

typsee · 10-01-2008, 02:33 AM

Chels ... I will ask Harley whether there is anything that can be done so members need to pick an icon when they post a new thread.

Tears and Rain · 10-01-2008, 10:21 AM

Looks like a good idea.
With the icons & labels etc.

Yes.

Isoverity · 10-01-2008, 12:28 PM

Humm..I just read a thread in Reviews and Recommendations suggesting "peeing" on people in "Golden Showers". What's the icon for that?

typsee · 12-01-2008, 02:50 AM

I dont know Jack .... but if you'd had taken the time to send a post report about it, then maybe the mods could have considered it sooner!

EyelinerAndCigarettes · 12-01-2008, 04:31 PM

great idea!! <3
