Community Sift (formerly PottyMouth):
Community Sift is a powerful service for classifying and filtering text messages, known for its innovative system of ranking users based on their behavior and adjusting their limitations.
By attaching to SFS2X’s chat system, this service provided a powerful chat filtering system, promoting respectful chat/conversation inside the website.
Website Integration:
Modern Web technologies enabled a deeper integration with the website, such as:
Chat + Teleport Arrow
“Chat” tab – On the right side, there’s a “Chat” tab, which lets the user chat with other visitors from anywhere on the page, while keeping focus on the website’s content.
“Teleporting arrows” – On the floor of the Virtual World, there are some big arrows which, when touched with the avatar, the user is redirected to the corresponding page of the website.
Virtual World’s Dynamism:
A couple of features were added to turn the Virtual World more dynamic:
Pinball MachineNPCs (Non-Playable Characters) – Random avatars that travel around the VW, following real visitors or saying a couple of pre-set messages, controlled via a custom-made SFS2X extension.
Mini-games – Currently 2 games are available (Pinball and Air Hockey), activated by the correspondent big red buttons. Both support touch and keyboard input and are unique by their tiny size and resemblance to their arcade machine counterparts.
