Toggle visibility of all RP ideas

Feedback · Toggle visibility of all RP ideas (accepted)

I find myself in the situation where I have more RP ideas than I can play out at the moment - which is fine, because I can still make a nice advertisement and description and just keep them invisible without an invitation. However, if it so happens that there will be many of them stored that way, the process of hiding all of them when I am on full schedule (or putting them back up when I am searching again) might become a bit tedious.

What I would like to see is a simple button or two, that would change the visibility of all the RP ideas of a certain profile (or maybe even all the profiles linked to the account).

This was discussed a few time in chat. General idea that seemed to be supported is:

There would be a mode of some kind that would switch off this profile's ads
It would flip itself back on periodically if left off

This works with the general assumption that people are on here to be roleplaying, and any distrubances of this are temporary. A more long-term "account away" could be potentially be used to turn off all ads (and potentially show a message on the profiles).

Given the feedback description, this could also be served another way: on a profile page (or wherever you can get a solid overview of your own roleplay ads), each rp ad can show up with a private/public toggle. It should be called by some other name, e.g. inactive vs public, to convey what is effectively happening with a private roleplay ad.

It isn't one click, but you can rapidly set which ads you're interested in showing at the time, and which ones you aren't. This should not have a timer for flicking back on. Anyone uninterested in displaying any ads at all can leave them all off.

Wrecked Avent: the solution you propose sounds like what was discussed ages back about a looking or not signal, but the temporary on/off switch doesn't seem appropriate here.

I am here for roleplaying, but even when I am I may want to not advertise. Actually, especially when I am: if my schedule's full my natural response would be to stop advertising, or not start. If I have some great roleplay ads with ideas I'd like to play out someday, I would rather keep them and hide them than delete them.

I wouldn't want it to periodically flip back on - I went through the process of hiding them, when I'm free I'll know how to go back and switch one or two ads back on according to what is suitable for me at the time.

This has the added benefit of servicing people who are advertising actively, but aren't in the mood for certain things.

Also for a "toggle all", put a switch at the top of the list of ads in question that toggles all to public or hidden. (Also should not have a timer.)

Velus described my point quite well here! It is not about not wanting to RP, but rather - not being able to start more RPs at a time while not being forced to go through every idea I made and manually making it not show to people. Which would also make me less hesitant to just make the RP-ideas every time I come up with one, instead of storing them in some documents on my disk and the like.

I also adore the idea of quick switches for every single one of the ideas - somehow I haven't thought about it, while it would be mightily helpful.

Hm. That sounds like more general management for ads, which is needed at the moment.
