RE: [Call For Feedback] - COMMUNITIES ON STEEMPEAK
Community cross posting is something we are testing out as of today/yesterday.
Also if you're cross posting someone else's post to a community how much do you want to write?
We feel it's basically a way for you to explain why you're sharing a post in that community and maybe direct conversation about that post you're sharing.
A few lines are fine, maybe add a tag or two.
A tag? A tag is you putting it into a TOPIC page... cross posting is for you to put it into a community. This is community-crossposting.
Communities will state if they allow crosspostings and under what conditions ... then you have permission to share that post there... or i guess risk having it muted (or you being muted)
Topics are a different area of steem and they aren't moderated and you'd probably want total steem community consensus if you're trying to say that we should have the ability to reshare someone else's post to new topic pages. Aka "I want to see this post shared in additional topic pages than what the original author chose."
But on communities they can say yes that is allowed here or not.
They could even say Yes but only if rewards are declined.
As for the few lines of community introduction thing by the cross-poster. We're probably willing to go beyond the 100 character thing but we need to see what are the use cases and do people want something. Right now the design is really helpful to stick to one line.
I also realised that I can edit it after cross posting. When editing I can put things visible in the preview (when using >advanced > Post Description) or on top of the post (when typing in the 'blog'). There it seems I can also add tags....
Tried it out here: https://beta.steempeak.com/@captainklaus/posts for the last two cross posts.
Yeah you're at your own risk there ... there is of course room for abuse of this feature as you have found. We can't prevent people from abusing it to be honest because they could literally use any interface to make an edit of the post. However we can help communities identify potential abuse. And if people see something cross-posted in their TOPIC-FEED then i assume they'll find it weird (or they won't) i guess you could test it.
