We really weren't kidding when we said we've got a ton of things in the works, and we're finally ready to release our new live discussion platform. We're extremely excited about this, and believe it will completely change the community experience across all 6Theory Media sites!
If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you'll see we've completely revamped our comment/discussion feature. This new discussion platform will allow for real time, live discussions - you'll notice immediately how the comments move in real time, and best of all, no more page refreshing. In addition, we've now also enabled threaded replies and some very useful filtering options.
The majority of you already have
6Theory accounts, which lets you login to both
allkpop.com and
tokyohive.com, but for users without a
6Theory account, you can now also login with various login systems, i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Live Journal, and more.
Note: You may need to logout and log back in the first time around, in order to enable the new discussion platform to authenticate your account. We also do recommend using a 6Theory login, as that will give you access to our forums as well.
Another cool thing is, you can also link all of your social media logins/pages with the new discussion platform and share/broadcast your comments everywhere. We obviously want to encourage you in doing so, as this will help us spread the word of
allkpop and K-pop in general!
Finally, we know a lot of you have been complaining about the trolls and bashing that's been going on. Trust us, we've been listening, which is why you can now flag comments that are deemed rude/inappropriate. If a comment receives enough flags, one of our staff members will review the comment and take proper action. But that doesn't give you a green light to abuse the system, remember, just because someone's opinion differs from yours, doesn't necessarily mean they are trolling or bashing. Please use your best judgement when using this feature, because if you flag everything that pisses you off, we'll never get around to the "real" questionable comments.
With that said, play with it, and let us know what you think by... uh... commenting below on our new discussion platform! And remember, this is just an initial launch of the platform, we are actually working on developing additional features to further enhance the community experience on all of the
6Theory Media sites - so stay tuned!
PS: This feature is still in beta mode, so you may notice some quirks/issues. If so, please let us know, as we'll be constantly tweaking the system over the next few days. Older comments are gone for now, but will be imported in the upcoming weeks.
