Title: forum feature request: A/B testing of posts
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on December 04, 2014, 10:08:41 PM

I tend to futz with the wording of my posts a lot, even after I post them, but I wish I could make these decisions on a more objective scientific basis. I should be able to post two versions of something and have the forum software randomly choose which one to show to each viewer of the thread, so I can see which one gets more likes (and ideally other metrics like dwell time - I'm not much of a web front end programmer but I think that could be tracked using hover events on invisible elements or the like) and proceed from there. Could an admin get me in touch with the thebore.com dev team so I can get this fast-tracked up the forum software feature backlog? Thanks in advance. :)

also is there capability in the forum software to determine the correlation of wordcount, smiley use, and gay innuendo  in a given post with the number of likes? i'm trying to dial in my posting.

Gay innuendo recognition is going to be the thesis topic of my Ph.D. in computational linguistics.
