RSS feed for regions RMB

Postby Mallorea and Riva » Tue Jan 24, 2012 9:49 pm

Ok so it was suggested that a new thread be started for this idea, so here it is in a nutshell.
An aggregate RMB for the world was suggested.

I was bumming around nationstates and found it regrettable that most of my usual hangouts were pretty sleepy on the RMB.
So then I thought wouldn't it be cool if there was one RMB on the World page, that showed the lastest RMB posts, from all regions. So not only would it be a weird conversation because you'd see a bunch of posts from different RMBs stacked up but it could take a poor wanderer right to where the festival is.

Anyway I thought it was a nice idea. If you don't like it, I know a very tasty muffin that I will be happy to offer as a sacrifice to satisfy you.

Your humble slave and admirer,

Horak


However it was wisely pointed out that this would result in rather spammish and annoying problems.

One of the regions we've been keeping an eye on has an average of 5 nonsense posts a minute from Junior High students. I don't know how many of our 9,487 regions have that level of activity, but you would drown in the spam in mere minutes.


So the better idea would be to ask for an RSS feed of regions RMBs. Thoughts?

This could be pretty cool. Other aspects of the site have already been syndicated (is that the right term?) such as national happenings, new issues, and telegrams. It seems a logical step to request the same access to RMB posts. It would save time jumping around to different region pages, if there's a group of regions that one is consistently interested in viewing.

I like this as well.

(On a different but related note I'm still hoping the embassies = members able post on each others RMB idea will come. The one violet commented here and here)

After this post I will assume that someone of importance has seen this idea, and let the thread sink after I ask Uni to include it in his list.

I was hoping that [violet] or SalusaSecondus would spot this thread and post a definitive comment, but alas, they didn't. Without a hint that this is practical, I don't feel justified in adding it to the enhancement queue.

Well like all ideas in technical a thread about this will probably crop up in another week or so about this.

Since it's been two weeks and I am still rather interested in this I thought I'd give it one last nudge. The fact that a certain someone is online surely has nothing to do with it.
