(developer here) this is....more popular than i expected. the server's gonna be having some problems for a while

I think there's a severe problem with this implementation. By using wrapping, I can't write "boobs" and have everyone else read my graffiti without them having having the same zoom wrapping point.

Morse code would do the trick!

One check for short, two checks for long, two blanks for end-of-character.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honestly that was one of my first thoughts when I saw this, someone is going to draw one of those. People love trying to be offensive in something that barely allows communication. I remember seeing some MMORPG that had no chat where players would log in and just stand in the shape of a swastika. Makes me wonder if it's reasonable to write an algorithm to detect that.

Which MMO was that in? I'm working on my own and now I have a new worry on my plate. Short of standard moderation, an algorithm to detect it could be interesting.

You could search for the article about how the Lego mmo (or that's what i think it was) was shut down, then stop worrying about it. Unless you want to spend the rest of your natural life on detecting penises, swastikas and everything else. I mean, everything is offensive to someone.

Fun and pointless, I love it. Why do some checkboxes have colored borders?

I don't know why they exist but if you check them they are listed separately in your click stats.

At the moment I found 4 colors

It’s considered bad UX to have a million checkboxes (or a million of any UI element) on a single page. Consider breaking this up into 3-deep nested pages, each with 100 options.

Or at least an accordion for each row of checkboxes, with the first row expanded but all others closed by default.

The UX team recommends to make it infinite scrolling… improves user “engagement”.

That feature is only added when it is bought and they force ads to be used. The original site is always much more useful than after purchase
