  1. You mean possibility to change the cat color ? That would be great ... if we could adjust stickers not simple the sticker text but the objects / parts in it eg have your preferred color set as cat back etc

    689 SILO

    It was necessary to update the designs and the changes were made in the best way possible to ensure the quality of the silhouettes considering their sizes and looks. There's always the possibility that powers recently released may get modified either pawns will be upgraded, or more added, or existent smilies will get a small detail alteration, or a completely revamp. Powers are beings that even when they get old there's a risk of change somewhere- look at PURPLE BOOST for example or upcoming changes we have yet to see in powers that are being adapted to function in this new age I appreciate your time and we as smileymakers will always be open to discuss and see what can be changed to the "better possible version" The good side of the story is that Silo pawns will stay around for longer
  3. You would not have infinite options so quickmenu would be for specific tasks (maybe ones you do often)- this means you can't do more than 5 or 6 options (an example of limit) Also a suggestion to make it integrated with pstyle is if you have a theme set then that's your "dropdown background color" eg Aurora color In my mind the quickmenu concept is way for the xat user to concentrate their most frequent actions on chat into one "rapid" menu In practice the quickmenu idea is about allowing you to customize your right-click options. Imagine if you were able to modify all right-click options eg even message area so you see React, Quote, Copy and Mute (an example) Or like category idea where you can quickly move a person to a category ("in a single click") So having both powers and custom commands, combined with the "standard commands" would be amazing- that would mean that you could do literally anything you need in a faster manner. PS Just brainstorming as I really like the idea
  4. It's about modernizing our own routine as Matt points out, and also it helps to make our activity more like a game. The clicks are great as you do things faster and you remember things easier A short cut to quickly ban a person, or do a tempmod-2hours... Just right-click on visitors tab, or at the nickname on main chat and see the "quickmenu" set by your preference Fun to imagine temppowers working through it as well It should work as quick actions, from all options available to the user, from Zap to See Gifts, or Add goodfriend, PC, See Powers, etc In settings there could be a line like that to allow customization Example: Ban 1h, Mute 1h, See Powers 9:1 And to help users understand they can customize, the default quickmenu to users would be: add as friend, make guest, kick, ban 1h, See powers 9:1, copy glow/pawn code, unban I also think of making them customizable, if kick or ban you could add time and reason ban 1h inapp ban 0 inapp or no reason at all For powers you could set the filter, boot you define the chat eg boot help Quickly move a person into a category, use code: category BFFs (category CategoryName) Nick (to edit nick, maybe we need an easier way to add a nick, and through right-click > box allowing you to set a custom nickname with nick power) or... bump in a click. etc. Custom commands add as friend, add as goodfriend ban 1h, ban 0 (forever) tempmod 2h, tempown 0.5h See powers 9:1, See powers az Zap reason, kick reason (reason can be customized) So we have Custom commands Allow user to set the order of options New "copy pawn code" option if right click on Visitors tab New "copy glow code" option if right click on Main chat tab (at text/nickname area, considering if you click on a smiley you'll get copy smiley code) Quickmenu integration with category power A way to make future features quicker to happen (eg if xat adds voice you could right-click to call) Currently you can right click a message on main chat, so we'd be expanding the feature to Visitors tab. Now over nickname, smilies, messages, and users tabs areas For mobile it needs more thinking ... some kind of adaptation. But I bet it can make both platform experiences better
  5. I think it could work also on main chat Perhaps in preference settings you can choose if you want same options for quickmenu on visitors tab, or different options for the main chat click
  6. Thank you all for your ideas. We will be working in making them reality. No worries about the likes, all requests here will be considered and become pawns.
  7. Hello there! Right now the following xat pawns are available: cat, flamingo and penguin We have opened this thread to see what are your favorite silos Tell us what silhouette is missing and has to become a pawn! THE MOST LIKED COMMENTS will get their silhouettes made as pawns. Note: You can only suggest existent silhouettes from xat.wiki/Silo Silo power. Hurry up! The idea is to make these new pawns (yet to be selected from here) a reality as soon as Sunday (4PM GMT time)
  8. I like the idea of allowing very popular chats to be "free" Sometimes internal drama may lead to bans, and whoever reports them as unfair can simply find another chat to be at Perhaps to guarantee this freedom (from staff's view) means more liberty ? "very popular" chats should be reported for inappropriate behavior (+18) from staff, or fraudulent user activity (eg using raids to meet requirements) If people get mad for getting banned on a chat overtime they will populate other chats and "mad popular chats" will die naturally (without xat interference)
  9. You can make your subscription idea for "sky pawn" on another (new suggestion) thread as we'd need a full brainstorm of its own, considering it does sound very interesting!
  10. I believe xat would grant only the "very popular badge" ++ "25% discount for promotions", not xats for events. Each room would have their own "type of attraction" (either a nice radio, fun events or some good looking guys like me and you! @Sydno) Tribute chats would continue to coexist and could get the "very popular badge" if they meet the requirements And different requirements based on their region/language sounds fair but complex. How would we draw the line? (any suggestions @Junyor?)
  11. I like the idea, we need to think of a new category name for those "Popular chats" I am not sure if "verified" is the adequate word. I see this as a "very popular" reward where your group receives bonuses that can be used both by the owners and the guests Few changes to your idea that I would like to "adapt" if you allow me: Formal requirements to get "very popular" chat badge: Minimum of 30 registered active users daily Requires at least one gstyle group power assigned Must be open to all (unregistered guests able to chat) Group must have at least 30 days old (creation date) and been promoted at least once in the last 30 days (chat promo or ad linked to chat) These requirements above would "certify" the user to be listed on the very popular Chats List (homepage) and automatically allow the "very popular" badge to be activated on Edit chat (it is enabled by default but owners can hide it via edit chat) There would also be "guidelines" where any user of xat can help to fiscalize, so those guidelines get to be placed on a wiki page, or by opening a ticket to report, or formerly communicating any official chat staff. Must have an appropriate set of media (inner and outer background images, page contents and radio) Keep around active staff in proportion to its daily users public (Recommended: 1 mod or owner for every 10 active users) Attentive to ensure fair enforcement of bans Then, here are the "very popular" rewards (for main owners) Main owner by merit (either creator or active manager of the group) gets verified (xat adds sky pawn to their ID) For a 2nd main owner (co-main or co-manager) to get verified (sky pawn) the group requires 2x the required minimum number of registered active users daily (60 users) For a 3rd main owner (assistant manager) to get verified (sky pawn) the group requires 3x (...) (90 users) Note: The minimum number of active users has to be updated once 10-15 very popular chats emerge. I would suggest 30 to 40 minimum users. Then once we get 20 very pop chats change from 40 to 50 minimum users. For guests: Can promote the chat or ad linked to chat with 25% discount Now I wonder, What else could be added as a reward to guests? What else do we look for as requirements or guidelines ... How do we make minimum requirements fair? eg. having your chat added to your buddy chat, via embed, so you get "zombie users" (who stay online but nearly zero interaction) Another idea, Perhaps the indication can come both as a "Badge" (positioned right after the chat group name, on header, as your demo shows). And xat can update the magic8ball. Black magic8ball means "Normal chat", Blue magic8ball means "Very popular" or activated during promotion, Purple magic8ball means official chat.
  12. 42 is always listening to users, and here (forum) is the best place to send your ideas. My thread was my own idea and I aim to rethink volunteering meaning, for the future to come. We need users willing to make new groups, to build more communities, "nurture" chats as in being online, making content, etc. Users who are willing "to xat". I believe it's time to invent a new meaning for the word "volunteer" I can't relate to users who say they have been left ignored as all threads were looked at, and many ideas have been added recently. Features adjusted. Powers made. Internal procedures improved. We, the users, are the ones who make xat happen. For the future, I'd bet in users who are willing to be "xatting", those who got the "chatting skill" as their favorite hobbies would be the best fitting users to fill the roles of future volunteers. Perhaps "friendship" is the proper word. It's difficult to comprehend why some are upset considering the suggestions forum is waiting for your energy The public should be able to read those ideas, so please, make your own threads, let's build the future together. I am closing the thread now as it has gotten extremely difficult to take an approach on "how we can make chats great again" and why volunteers of the next generation should be the ones in "the front" for that to happen. I admire all your honesty in here so far. May we meet again in my next thread (or yours) If you're unhappy, you can start your own thread by doing your own suggestion, justify, demonstrate, and let people discuss (positively, as for pessimist thoughts can pollute a bright mind just as a virus poisons water)
  13. Yes but not in my thread (you can do your own if you want) Here I ask us to look ahead (hopefully you can as well) Thanks for the words. It's indeed true! Updated: I am saying this to ensure we develop a good idea from this thread! My intent is to make things better. Feel free to post anything regardless of me being the "original poster". We all own this discussion, its right to have a say. Thanks!
  14. This thread is about the future and certainly not to discuss the past. I admire all words put in here but I ask us to look at the horizon, and not each other's eyes. My intent here goes beyond what has been done so far. But what are we going to do next. And who's going to build the tomorrow. Are they here? Or are they coming? I wanted to ask you, users, the people, because this is where volunteers come from. For a volunteer to be born one first needs to be forged a true user. Many of my friends in real life they ask me "I wanted to help, to help on xat like you do" My answer is always the same: If it was your destiny to be there (on xat), you'd be there already - regardless of my invitation To be a volunteer in my opinion is about doing the undone. You don't need to fit. There isn't a "specific spot" to occupy. It is the other way around- it's about bringing change. It's about providing to xat exactly what it was lacking, and it didn't even know it needed you. One of xat advisors uses the term evangelism, as in the culture of the brand (in our case: xat) needs to pose as a religion. I use this analogy because I think that's what a volunteer should do in the first place. To spread the "xat word". And to each one of us (volunteers), xat has a different meaning. And here's the beauty. We can all be who we are in here. But is a volunteer a ticket-man? I am not (simply) a ticket-man. I like to go around and sit at chats, help people, meet people, discuss ideas. And in our current situation we need more of "chat people". We need more of "chat volunteers". My purpose in here is for you to see things like I do. Not to think like me. But look at the horizon. Together. So I ask you more questions: What do you see when you look at the future (of volunteers)? How do you imagine the "next generation" of volunteers? (what their roles would be, or if you think you can become one, what would you be doing differently?) Thank you all for your kind words and honesty. I'm happy that we all share this momentum together.
  15. What do you think of "volunteering" on xat? What do you think that a volunteer does? What does it take to be a volunteer? How should a volunteer look like? Let me know your thoughts.
  16. Another idea! What about Alien Santa Claus? Christmas from the outer world. ALIENCLAUS power. santa in a spaceship sleigh, flying through a cosmic sky filled with stars and galaxies gifts floating through space, tied with futuristic bows and ribbons reindeer with neon-colored fur, antlers, and rocket boosters, propelling santa's sleigh snowflakes falling in a cosmic pattern, creating an otherworldly winter scene elves and alien helpers building toys in a futuristic workshop on another planet
  17. I'd like to suggest a surfing Santa Claus smiley power. SANTASURF (or surfsanta, as in doubt to which sounds better!) santa yellow surfing on a wave (FX) santa holding his surfboard in one side, and gifts bag in another santa on a sandy beach, with his christmas-themed (stars) surfboard next tohim santa using sunscreen santa passing sunscreen on his reindeer santa wearing sunglasses, with his surfboard behind him TIP TO USERS: KEEP ONLY ONE IDEA FOR EACH POST! Feel free to post multiple times as long as your ideas are original.
  18. IDS AUCTION. You have asked for it. Feel free to suggest your desired IDs in here. You can suggest any sequence (must be longer than four digits) There is no official date scheduled yet for the auction event to occur (as it will be announced later) Now, good luck.
  19. Yes I have confirmed the information (with xat) and both powers will be added to SUPER collections.

    I wrote a instruction (how-to) in the initial thread, there's a guide on how to send message: Go to the header menu, top-right, click "group" (rocket icon, "GRUPO" in your screen) and then send message. There you can write us and we'll read you

    Ideally rejected players won't display in the gallery as they would be removed To get verified you need to message us (send message chat button) at xat.com/xatRadio

    We plan to verify users so you would not have to wait anytime as your player goes live at the same time as you finish its upload

  24. Maybe we need a "demo" button somewhere, where you can visualize your own tab as if you were a toon clicking yourself ...
  25. Nice power. I'd like to address some comments, and add my own @Tiro brought up that pstyle doesn't work on dark mode. So for that, I'd suggest for each custom pstyle theme to have a "brother color" - a darker version of the theme. Alternatively xat could add a different effect e.g. dark overlay, or transparency. The dark mode chatting should offer you all the fun that you have on the normal xat. If we were to continue on brainstorming I'd mention "Lite Mode", aimed to boost performance by either turning off completely the powers or reducing their effects significantly to a point you can have optimize your experience, and there if we get to see new custom animations implemented to "Profile Styles", similar to xat FLIX animations, or anything magical as an effect of snowing in a seasonal-themed profile styles power, you'd get them "softened" on the Lite Mode, and somehow darker on Dark Mode. @JasonOficial talks about gifs files but I think pstyle does something very different compared to other effect powers, I'd suggest, for the greater good of our ecosystem of powers, the requirement of 2 PSTYLE to use .gifs (plus animate power), maybe 3 to add shadow somewhere, 4 for something else, and so on. Also adding those limitations allows us to see a more cleaned up chat, not a carnival of colors (D) @Loba suggestion allows the the user to do nearly anything they want with their profile style. From what I've seen you get series of powers. For example nameglow and namecolor, or statusglow and statuscolor. The power mechanism has shown to be the ideal as you can unlock premium features or expansions easily and it also foments the trading market. One can imagine that we'd see seasonal or holiday profile styles (eg Christmas Profile Styles) ... The full customization possibility is somewhat wild compared to how customization works on xat. I would say that maybe on "Embed mode" (ie simply when a chat is embedded) the main owner who has pstyle power can edit these fields (and edit their button class freely to match their website theme). Another example, On "embed mode", when using a power, the power effect should overlay the website effect, by forcing the premium setting to appear above it (power prevails!) I see a nice power with infinity possibilities. Congratulations The theme colors are very unique, and I hope to see contests where the forum united with official chats would suggest their own gradient HEX combinations. Country-themed colours, flag waving. Many ideas can come out. I see this as just the beginning for profile customization. No reason to freeze right now and wait for all the changes above mentioned. I am happy to see new stuff and this power is brilliant, especially because the gradient themes match xat spirit, it does keep some type of harmony in it with all the other parts of the chat box. The themes match the current chat visual nicely.
