Unless you demonstrate your idea with some sort of visual, you will need to make sure to provide a lot of details. Not everyone has graphic design skills, so you are not required to post any sort of visualization. It definitely helps though! Due to the customizability of xat chats, users are able to mix colors and combine smilies with other smilies. That is a concept to consider when trying to come up with an idea. Whatever you're inventing, it must be something creative so that people can use it to create even more things, like customized smilies! Remember to be unique too. Opening a topic means you are inviting the public to discuss your idea. They might help you make it better by offering criticism, so you should be prepared to accept such criticism. How to Suggest a Smilie Power Powers that include a pack of smilies (usually ten smilies) are considered smiley powers. You can combine them, color them, and use their limited pawns (hat codes). Remember these things when suggesting a smiley power: Think of the pawns that should be created based on the smilies you describe. Some smiley powers have a kiss included in such a way that you must have the power in order to send the associated kiss. You can suggest these types of powers, but make sure to describe the animation. Try to come up with at least ten different smilies for each smiley power. Describe how they would look and what name you would give them, and include any other information you can think of. How to Suggest a Functional Power Powers that allow you to have extra features on the chat are tagged as functional powers. These premium features sometimes only affect certain ranks on the chat. Another example is a power that allows you to color your name in some way. When proposing a functional power, be thoughtful. If it has to do with banning, for example, then you will need to remember to think of ways in which the feature could be abused. Describing a solid plan for your suggested feature is always the best way to get the community excited. Example of a Suggestion Power name: Ninja (smiley power). Example of included smilies: ninjas posing, ninjas fighting, ninjas in a rage, cute ninja faces, and ninja blades and swords. In this example, keep in mind that xat already has a Shinobi power. If your suggestion is related to an existing xat power, you'll need to make sure not to include conflicting ideas! Questions, Answers, and Miscellaneous Notes Question: Can I suggest something if it was already suggested on a forum which primarily supports non-English users? Answer: Yes, you can. Make sure to give credit to the original presenter. Question: Why was my topic locked or deleted? Answer: We have specific guidelines for this section. If you violate the regular forum guidelines or the guidelines for this section, your topic may be locked or deleted. Lastly, please do not suggest powers that use someone else's ideas, especially if it isn't even modified. That is straight up theft, and it's even worse if you get a test power for it. This mainly occurs with smiley powers using someone else's art, but can happen with functions too. The least you can do is include the source, but it would be best if you did not do it at all. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
