We’ve been having some discussion about community harmony and it’s touched on the way a jokey response from one user can be misinterpreted by another, particularly depending on how each is feeling.
It was suggested that if there was a ‘mood’ emoji next to each person’s name this could help. I.e. someone can show they’re in a bad space and so prevent it.
Just wondered if there is a mod or something out there we could conceivably adjust to do this? Or if there’s a facility we just haven’t noticed that can do this?
You’d need a plugin. It would add a custom field for their mood and then add it to the serializer. With that in place you could have the login or a theme component add the mood… Somewhere.
Some the mood changes… What is I post today when I’m mad at everything and then today I am in a great mood? Does the post include my mood when I posted? This seems like a tricky thing to work out.
You could have a set of groups that had a flair that they could join and leave. I have a plugin that sets group membership according to a user custom field. That might do what you want. A theme component should also do something based on their primary group.
