We might need some other way to verify who is and is not a subscriber. Anyone have any ideas?
Change the invite code and notify via direct mailing list? Not at all quick or convenient but a bunch of BCC emails would avoid that problem.
Does Locals and Substack allow for their admins to do a csv subscriber email export? If so, Lunduke could take it a step further and script assigning a unique code to each subscriber and emailing it to the address on file.
If not, I wonder if those platforms have some kind of API that could be queried to generate a code on a form on demand if they return something like subscriber=true
I know Substack does. Not sure about Locals.
Good catch. Iāll see what I can do about that.
Looks like Locals does too, at least as of 2020: How do I export member data? | Locals
That was a good catch.
Do internet searches provide things secret things like invite codes frequently/sometimes?
If youāre going to give out some sort of secret code, is this something that you just have to consider and plan for?
Again, this is NerdWannabe asking.
Well Iām not completely sure about search engines, but there is a long and storied history of all sorts of secret keys, passwords etc leaking through code repositories and similar. Somebody in a company puts the key into the code, the company uses Github (or similar) to host their code repositories, for some reason the repositories are publicly available, and then somebody sees the key.
This is probably a variation on that theme.
We all love some āfreeā OpenAI keys from time to time
This has not been fixed yet.
Hey @lunduke
Can we get badges that stick to the names like the mods do?
I might make it larger later. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Perfect, thatāll work!
All subscribers get that badge, excellent!
Would you want to further distinguish between subscribers that pay monthly/yearly/lifetime?
I donāt really think we should as I found in another topic.
Does discourse have custom ārolesā that can have icons assigned to them like the āmoderatorā roles has? This would be great to have the Lunduke logo head as the role badge for subscribers.
Iām pretty sure I remember custom badges being a thing you can add.
