Just a small pet peeve. I know wealth of quality discussions and content is the key to a healthy community, but I find lack of an icon or banner to be a turn-off signaling low effort, especially if the community has been around for more than a week or so. Meh. Just my 2 cents.
I like text.
Why imitate banner ads when you don’t have to?
Not me. I like text. I don’t want icons, avatars, banners, image backgrounds, etc. All text, all the time.
I appreciate that others like those things, so I want the system to support them, but I want the option to remove all that stuff for my view, because it isn’t important or useful to me.
It’s not really a turn off, but I mostly read the titles. Half the time I forget where I’m at, it’s great.
Would you prefer if they were given automatically generated icons as long as they were left blank? I think that would make them more easily recognizable individually and visually consistent alignment-wise.
Ya that’s a good idea
