We are planning on selecting new Wannabes every month that are active streamers on twitch.tv.

I like the site for the most part but I feel as though a stream of one-off reviews is limiting. I'm not suggesting any massive overhaul but it would be nice if there was a tab under every game where people could discuss them like a kind of mini forum thread. I'm not sure whether I think it should be integrated into reviews as I don't think people should have to defend their opinions and it might just lead to harassment. I think it's useful because only a fraction of the games on the website have a forum analogue and it would be useful to be able to ask questions and discuss every game because some Japanese games might have text that doesn't display on computers with English as the default and instead of these games getting downvoted or ignored by the western community, people could post how to progress. For instance one fangame a while back, I forget the name, had a puzzle where you had to type numbers into a computer, only the text was messed up and the English was badly translated so I had to find a youtube video so I knew what to do as I thought you had to multiply or add the numbers etc. I spoke to Piece about it a while back and he said he'd suggested something similar as well.

While I don't think the re-quote of your own text was necessary, a discussion tab for each game will be considered. Del-Fruit, among other things, has no real way to communicate to a wide audience instantly. A discussion tab for each game would solve this issue, however, I can already see it being abused far more than just the reviews themselves. This would also have to be heavily moderated, which is something we would like to avoid. We would rather have a self-sufficient system in which the community can regulate itself. A discussion panel, unfortunately, would probably have to be moderated because of certain comments made towards the game, the creator, or other community members. We have a strict policy against disparaging comments towards any of the 3 parties listed, and we would have to apply this to the discussion panel, which undermines the point of a 'discussion' entirely.
In addition, a discussion panel acts as a mini-forum for the game. Although we wish for Del-Fruit to be successful in a variety of ways, we do not want it to be a place for discussion. This is what a forum is for, and we would rather drive traffic to this site for discussion. Forum-like changes made to Del-Fruit could hurt these forums in the long run, which is something we also want to avoid. Let this site stand as a place for discussion and image sharing, while let Del-Fruit stand as a place for reviews, ratings, and other minor add-ins.

How often is actively streaming?
klazen108:
There's nothing set in stone, it's just a common sense thing. It's better to feature someone who will stream at least once during that month, ya know :Kappa: But at the same time, I don't need you to have an established M-F schedule with at least 4 hours a day or something like that.
Kyir:
I can say with absolute certainty that everyone is taking this way too seriously and should just sit back and see who gets picked a few more times before whining. A sample size of one isn't exactly enough to make any conclusions about favoritism or trends or anything. Constantly making demands of people doing something for free is really unseemly.

No one's making demands - suggestions were asked for and suggestions were given. No one was jumping to conclusions at all, as far as I can see people were just voicing their hopes for the future of the feature. The people who I would say were overreacting are those who for some reason felt so threatened by people hoping for fair representation (that might I add, was promised) that they had to pretend that those who want it have some vested interest/only care about views.
The problem is people are jumping to attack without actually reading what's been said. Lawatson said "I would simply like to know if your picks will range to the streamers with less viewers, such as Iginlaj and JGBMaster." He didn't jump to conclusions, he didn't say "You're only picking big streamers!!! This is tyranny!!", he simply asked about the procedure for picking and mentioned that he felt it would be nice for streamers with less views to also get the spotlight if they weren't already. JGBMaster said "I'm ok with it as long as the channels (from The Wannabes Twitch team) are randomly selected." - where are the conclusions being jumped to there? Klazen asked how people felt about the feature and JGBMaster gave an honest and extremely reasonable answer. But then you have people like Moose immediately jumping to "[It] only seems to upset new small streamers who are hoping to get bigger fast." Where exactly did that come from? And then we get facetious edgelords saying stuff like "looks like another domination tool to be used by the oppressive fangame regime"/"yours truly, The Oppressive Fangame Regime". These last two pages have been a trainwreck of strawmanning at its worst. No one is demanding anything, people were voicing extremely reasonable opinions/suggestions which were asked for by the creators of the site.
No one was demanding or whining or whatever it is you're asserting - people were simply giving their opinion on the feature, that they hope the streamers are randomly chosen and no weighting is given to how popular they are.
I'm not even sure why this conversation is still happening, Klazen and tehjman assured everyone that representation would be fair and that's the end of it. Oppressive fangame regime overthrown! I really don't see any reason to dredge this up again.
My account logs itself out every couple hours or so - is this intentional? Is it a browser thing? It's kinda annoying.
EDIT: Also a glitch I just found, I'm not sure if you know but even if you have multiple spoilers in one post, clicking to reveal one will reveal all of them but leave the buttons to reveal the others ones intact.
