Updates to Chainbb FAQ?

retiredinsamar (56)in #chainbb-support • 8 years ago

I have several questions as I'm considering creating a forum soon.

If I create a forum, let's say "Earths's Creatures," is there going to be a "sub-forum" capability such as - Mammals, -Birds, -Reptiles... etc? Or, would these be considered separate forums?
Can one create multiple forums?
Do the same rewards rules apply? Meaning no further curation or author rewards after 7 days?
Can a forum owner have a different ID (name) than the Steemit account name?
Will the tags on Chainbb be different than the tags on Steemit?

Hopefully some good things are happening since it has been a while since the last update to the FAQ (which is no longer pinned to the top of the Chainbb Forum).

Thanks

I should update it at some point, here's some answers to tide you over though :)

You could create a single forum called "animals", and add the various tags to it (#mammals, #birds, #reptiles, etc). This would make the main view of the forum a combination of all of these tags, and then you could click on the tags in the forum header to filter down to a specific. You can't go any further in depth at that point though, so if you wanted a "subforum" for bird (with different child tags), that would have to be a separate forum.
Yep, you can create an unlimited number of them, but each one is independent of one another, and has it's own settings/upgrade path.
Correct - that's built into the steem blockchain and I can't change it. The only difference between Steemit.com and chainBB.com is the beneficiary rewards on chainBB (totalling 15% between chainBB + forum owners).
Sure - you could create a specific account for a forum. I have the @webdev account as the owner of /f/webdev. I'm planning on using the community features someday with the @webdev account on top of forums.
You can use whatever tags you want, they could be the same as steemit or you could make up new ones. There's only one pool of content (the steem blockchain), so any tags used on either will appear on both.

Hope that helps!

Immensely! Thanks. One thing I did notice though, there is a voting slider on Chainbb while on Steemit, you must achieve it. Is this correct?

Correct. Steemit hides it until you're at a certain threshold - chainBB just shows it.

I'm in the reservation mode on Chainbb and I need to send 10Steem before I can confirm. I'm a little short on SBD right now so looks like I have to wait. Want to loan me 4 Steem?

Clarification on question #1... How many tags are allowed under one forum title? Is it limited to 5 like in Steemit?

I don't have a limit currently, but I don't think realistically you should use more than a few. That navigation bar is going to fill up and not be useful if there's too many.
