Well a series of textboxes is really how it'd have to work, what with neopronouns and stuff. You just give people, say, up to 20 pronouns (with users being able to specify as many or as few as they like) and each one can be up to idk, 20 characters each, for at most 400 bytes of data per user. As long as it's a fixed amount of data and there isn't any issues with display there isn't really any reason not to. Admittedly my given limits are a little arbitrary, it could just as easily be 30 or 40, but so is the current system.
I'd almost be tempted to do a dumb deep learning thing just to guess how likely the contents of a textbox are to be a pronoun or not just to make this something moderatable, but ah, coursework.
Some programming subreddit recently added pronoun flairs and someone has this/self pronouns, which would probably get flagged as taking the piss but is pretty nifty if you ask me
Well the point isn't to make the AI decide whether you're taking the piss, it just decides whether there's a reasonable likelihood you're totally taking the piss (i.e. just writing fuck/off as your pronouns) and holding off on assignment until a moderator manually confirms. Upon doing so, the pronouns are added to a whitelist and it never asks again for that specific set of pronouns.
I believe 2 was arrived at because of design constraints. The design accounts for if you have a max length username and two sets of our longest pronouns, it’ll wrap in a way that looks nice
I can definitely understand, sometimes it's easiest to just do things the simple way for webdev rather than make something a huge hassle, and what we have is definitely a vastly superior system to what other websites use.

That would actually be a neat function for an automod to do. You could basically run spam filter heuristics so it can continuously get better

Everyone laughs at the attack helicopter pronouns until the minigun starts to spin. :stalin-gun-1::stfu-terf:
