Hey all, releasing my latest project today. It's called Permaban, a browser game about being a forum mod in 2007. Posts come in, you decide: warn, ban, lock, ignore.
The hook is the gray area posts. Clearly bannable stuff isn't the challenge. It's the long-time user with 4,000 rep posting something at 2am that's borderline, plus a burnout meter that prevents spam-clicking, so you actually have to read each post.
What's in:
- Full XP-style UI (not a skin, the whole interface)
- 4 forum skins: phpBB, vBulletin, InvisionFree, ProBoards
- Campaign + endless mode
- Era mechanics: popup ads, IM nudges, a desktop assistant that pesters you, a music player to manage
Free, plays in browser, no install.
