Categories

I like the greys better personally, the multi colours looked rather childish and fussy (although I'd not worked out yet whether there was some colour coded point to them)

Yeah now I've looked properly (bad me) I see there was actually a point to them and allowed you to easily see match based threads vs gossip based threads (for example). I prefer the look of the grey, but now I've realised the purpose I'll get back up on the fence.

The grey is much more pleasing to the eye, or at least much less offensive. Personally, if I can't turn categories off I'd just have one and put everything into it - it seems like an unnecessary exercise in filing that no one will ever use, but I could be completely wrong on that. I imagine Jim will definitely disagree given his love for data management.

That's the threads category. Everything goes into that.

The category categories are for useful quick sub-division.

Sure. But it's just unnecessary clutter that especially on mobile makes it look a mess.

Read me annoyingly well.

I like the categories .... I'm not bothered whether they are coloured or grey. Slight preference for grey.

I prefer the grey. Dark colours might work too.

In principle I am good with having categories. In practice it remains to be seen whether there will be enough content to make it a feature with much utility.

What happened to your previously held immutable principles that moderators should not interfere with posts and threads unless absolutely necessary?

You mean other than delete threads?

The current board uses 'boards' It has a number of boards mostly with nothing in them, certainly with little changing. They take up space at the index page, and look shit.

You assign a category....if it's not a category much used, who cares. There will be a default category, you don't have to do much. If you choose to make a category attribution is becomes meaningful.

Apart from some people not liking the visible tags, I can't imagine what possible problem there is.
