Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/The whole concept seems to be based on wrong assumptions/reply (6)

It's still unclear what Flow will look like. For all we know, every post will have a different color so you can tell them apart, and every post will have the option of adding a dozen pictures and setting every other word to blink automatically. You're making a lot of completely unwarranted assumptions about what will happen.

Even your assumption that templates won't work is just an assumption. There are limitations in the server set up (which Flow doesn't have any control over) that might make templates impossible. But that's not actually a definite problem at this stage; it's just a possible concern. Even if it's a problem, there's no rule that we can't create a substitute that will achieve the same end but not technically be "a template". The only thing that's been decided about templates is that they will not be supported in signatures, which you might have noticed is already banned by policy, so this represents no change in practice.
