Tiles

Tiles are the main social post format used in Chatgum and all of it's versions.

Basic Functions
Tiles are the major post function on Chatgum, and one of few ways to share content app-wide rather than a single chat.

Tiles are able to post Title, Thumbnail(Which also acts as the first image on the thread) and a description about the tile which appears as the first text on the thread itself. Users can also post on a tile as replies and extra posts, one can also reply to specific posts making a reply thread.

You can also share a Tile to Facebook, though this has been known to glitch.

History
Tiles were added alongside the Social Update in Mid 2016, along with VIP to add more social features and ranks to the app.

Early on, tiles were rarely used and extremely simple only including basic conversation features but as time went on they would slowly get more used in new and creative ways.

As of 2018, users can now be banned from posting on certain tiles if the user has blocked them. Before, it was impossible to prevent a user to post on a tile unless they were muted or their tile was deleted by a Moderator.

Roleplay Tiles
In the Roleplay community, tiles have been used commonly to allow for more in-depth story telling and role-playing as the character limit to a tile is much larger, allows for posting images and have no limits to how many users can post whereas chats have a cap of thirty-five chatters at one time.
