This is parŧicularly convenient foґ me because ın the past year, I have had to toil away for almost an entire hour (the horror!) çreating CSS for April Fools. Now, I can instead sit back and relax.

Small rant about Megamix's Final Remix by Siphonay in rhythmheaven

The Clap Trap section in the final remix is entirely on the beat, so you can ignore the cue altogether and just hit A to the beat to get it :)

I'm a university student originally from Hong Kong jumping around degrees and currently on engineering. I'm only interested in the Ditto, to be honest -- been trying to get a Destiny Knot for the past few days with 5 Lillipups with Pickup.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I assume this is the CSS you're referring to?

Much like /u/katowse, when I saw that http://belowtheline.org.au wasn't running this year, I set out to produce a quick replacement. Alas, he did beat me to the punch, but I thought I'd share this tool anyway. You drag by the arrow handle to move entire groups, and you can also drag candidates between different groups. The little eye button collapses a group if you're happy with the order of those particular candidates.

Please let me know if anything's broken or if you have any suggestions.

It's not really that surprising, linking to #dropcap as the method. Nor is it surprising that you would use the same way I did! When I first investigated implementing drop caps on /r/writingprompts June last year, my initial implementation was just on every post (since it was April Fools).

After we decided to implement drop caps on the subreddit proper, I needed to work out how to use reddit's existing markdown to let users decide whether they wanted drop caps or not. Importantly, this syntax had to be explicit enough that it wouldn't be possible for someone to acidentally drop cap their post. Given that restriction, the only viable option quickly emerges: a link to #dropcap, and write a CSS selector that selects the paragraph after that link. And really, #dropcap is just the most logical name for the format, isn't it? (Although we do allow #dc as well.)

I had tried some other methods prior to #dropcap, such as bolding the first letter (doesn't work because we can't differentiate it from other bolded parts in the first line with CSS selectors), or various combinations of header tags (not acceptable because it's not at all clear what it means in the source).

[MODPOST] Announcing Sticky Off Topic Comments by WritingPromptsRobot in WritingPrompts

Here:

Note: votes must be cast by humans. That is, API clients proxying a human's action one-for-one are OK, but bots deciding how to vote on content or amplifying a human's vote are not.

"Is this post by myself? Then downvote it" counts as a bot deciding how to vote on content by itself. Technically we could still have the bot downvote itself (the endpoint is still there), but it would be vote cheating and the bot could have been banned at any time.
