Description
This commitment involves optimizing the Logos Forum experience to address critical bottlenecks that prevent community members from contributing their stories and engaging with the community. The current forum experience creates significant friction that causes potential contributors to drop off, requiring personal relationships and handholding to successfully onboard new users.
The Logos Forum optimization will support Logos’ strategic objectives by:
- Reduced Friction: Eliminating barriers that prevent community members from contributing stories and pitches
- Self-Service Onboarding: Enabling users to contribute without requiring personal handholding
- Community Growth: Making it easier for new members to share their ideas and build with Logos
- Story Onboarding: Streamlining the process for community members to submit and share their stories
Key Problem Areas:
- Email Domain Restrictions: Forum doesn’t accept custom domain names in email addresses
- Spam Filter Cooldown: 24-hour cooldown period prevents instant posting, even for legitimate contributors
- First Post Complexity: New users face barriers to posting their intro - category selection, multiple buttons, and unclear posting flow
- Content Visibility Restrictions: Content may be hidden based on user rank, preventing engagement from visitors and new users
