Custom tab names are probably the solution to that, but tab deletion is tricky because we don't want players randomly losing content because a Setting tab is no longer useful to the GM. It wouldn't be horribly difficult to add the same system to PMs, but probably with just one tab by default for the people who aren't PMing to RP.

@Hey Im Jordan

What tabs would you want? I think Mahz threw the idea out there of user-selected tabs at one point.

I feel it'd be better if you could directly write the post with the people at the same time (similar to how google docs or X collaborative writing program works) and be able to see their writing/changes in real time, but given this is a forum, something tells me that might be a little bit of a stretch and not exactly possible to do.

@Kuro

Given that the Guild's architecture wasn't built to cater to live feeds, it might be a lot to reinvent Google Docs. But I can look to see if any open-source live text editors like Firepad would integrate cleanly into the Guild.

Yeah, that partly was what I was trying to get at, but I was also thinking that the collaboration system behind zeroth posts could be added to other areas in the site. Like, if we had the ability to collab with one or more people in the test thread, it would completely erase the need for google docs/pad/etc. for collab posts.

@Kuro

The main question when it comes to collaborative features like this is access control. I could pretty easily make a section of the site completely collaborative and allow any account at all able to access and edit what's on it. But you also run the risk of trolls coming by and wiping/defacing posts.

To defeat that, I could also add the collaborative revision system that currently exists on 0th posts (check out any thread with a 0-post you're able to access and click the revisions button on the top left, or get a perma-link to a post you created and add '/revisions' to the end of the URL). That would allow any person to revert the thread pretty easily and see who defaced it. It would also allow trolls to be caught and prevent your information from being lost. The only issue would be if people who don't know the feature exists end up thinking that they just lost everything—that'd be really unfortunate (along with any deletion wars that might pop up).

The most robust solution, true access control, would involve the thread creator adding verified editors to a post/thread like Co-GMs. That feature would more than likely require a change to the database (unless I did a hacky solution that may or may not work), increasing the amount of time it would take to implement.

That being said, I'd like to hear all of your thoughts and suggestions, along with what you'd like to see out of that kind of system. I can always throw the changes onto my experimental GitHub branch, so I can try mocking something up and seeing what it looks like. Let me know what you think ^_^

Hey hey.

Welcome to the Guild! Great Doflamingo signature.
