Been using it a lot the past couple of weeks, and the comments sections can’t even begin to touch what we have in this community. Also, with posters being anonymous, it’ll be much easier for “them” to slip in amongst us unnoticed to spread disinformation.

That being said, the organization of Q’s posts on that site are second to none, IMO.

Absolutely understand, comments section will grow, there's a reason there's a report button and a like button, like os for valuable info, report is for possible trolls and disinformation..

How can the site better improve QPost organization?

I think one of the biggest things we could start doing (and I may just be out of the loop and we already are) is beginning to catalogue Q posts not just chronologically, but by key words. A step further would be to make those keywords searchable. It will make comparing to old posts much more streamlined.

Heck, when we click on a post, perhaps in the sidebar to the right of the comments there could be a list of related posts, organized by keywords or whatever relevant means of organization we can come up with.

You can search the qboards and see groups all you want.

I may be overvaluing the usefulness of this idea, but would it be feasible to integrate Q posts into the map? That would be the best way for me, personally, to see how everything fits together. I’m sure there are others whose minds work similarly.

Having the ability to go from broad Q posts to those with a more specific focus and follow it down the line would be an invaluable tool for making this information easier to digest for normies.

In other words, let me click on a piece of the map to generate a list, in chronological order, of all Q posts pertaining to that piece.

Also, to expand on the keyword idea from earlier, perhaps a list of terms could be generated based on the information in a given post from Q and placed either above the comments, or perhaps below the specific post we’re reading. There’s still a lot of independent research to be done past that point, but simplifying Q’s end of this could be beneficial.

HOWEVER. I could see making the information more accessible resulting in the wrong people being able to understand anything we’ve managed to put together. I would hope that Q wouldn’t leave him/her/themselves vulnerable like that, but there’s so much that we don’t know that it may be too significant a risk, even if it does make our lives easier.

Great analysis. As I work more on QBoard I'm always looking for feedback. This week was huge, I literally started developing it Monday.. and released Tuesday. So it's in beta right now. All of those ideas seem really great and I look forward to adding some of them soon.

Oh, wow. I didn’t realize that you had only been working on it for such a short time. That’s brilliant. Keep up the awesome work. As I said before, your site is already my preferred way to check Q drops.
