As for the notifications and all it's just something they haven't had time to get to seeing as the game is their top priority.


Well... wasn't that what the Moderation recruitment was for?

I'll talk with some admins about getting that worked out. If anything I'll find the add-on for them to use to automatically let the original poster know why they had their thread removed.

Alright, well things have been sorted out now thanks to the lovely SweBow. The reason why this forum is not allowed to let people post pictures is because of a law called COPPA (Found here: http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm) It's a funky law but that's sadly what we have to deal with seeing as we're a forum of ALL ages (this counts the game as well obviously)

As for the notifications and all it's just something they haven't had time to get to seeing as the game is their top priority.

I'm going to leave the forum open for a minute or so then close it.

I'm chatting with SweBow personally about this problem, it'll be resolved shortly, I'm sure of it :P

Rainy, watch your language and please cool off.

I'll just say it right now, let's not get this thread heated. It's a good topic to get to the bottom of. If anything it'll benefits the forum; however I will lock it if it goes to far.

I fully understand what you meant by that but please try and take this from my perspective. You make a thread, it gets posts, it disappears the next day. Hm, okay, funky! So you remake another one, it hits 2 pages and seems to be doing well, then it's gone again! Well, what's going on? I've been receiving no notifications.

Please also note I'm not trying to argue with you, but rather fix things for the better of this forum.


I understand where you are coming from but you have to understand where we are coming from, we have to be responsible for everyone, so we have to take actions though not everyone will agree with it


You completely missed what I'm trying to get at.

Whoever deleted my thread did not notify me of that. How is a user supposed to know they're conducting something against the policy of this website when there is no mention of it?

Please stop. This is not an argument or a show of who's better  >A<

I... guess so. Please notify whoever has been deleting my thread to notify me in the future though. That doesn't account to only me, but everyone else, we don't want people doing the wrong things over and over now do we?


believe me, we dont do anything without reason so please dont worry

This is one of the reasons i dislike what the mods do here. They could at least threat us with some respect and tell why they did it. If we want to show our faces its our choice, not theirs. If they want to protect is from ourselves then that only shows how reta­rded they think we are.

This is just like when perry kept stopping us from organising a tinychat. he didn't even care to explain why and when i confronted him he ignored me. Mods, are we users with dignity or your dumb children?


we are trying to keep users safe (remember some members are younger and might not know any better) and sometimes we cant explain every choice that we make when it comes to the forums

I can't help but fully agree with this; however it's not our choice at the moment. If anything we can send a well written message to a head admin about this topic in hope of getting it reversed.


to perry? are you serious?


If it's well constructed and it's got a decent amount of followers I don't see why not.

We are doing this to protect users, if somebody(a bad person) gets ahold of one of our users pictures because they posted it here, it could be detrimental to the original user
basically we are protecting users from themselves

There's an entire liability thing that goes along with this. If someone gets in trouble because their picture is up here, the administrators of the site get the blame. No matter how many agreements freeing them from any liability they put out, the heat still goes to them.


Oh gosh I've never heard of anything like that in my 6 years of posting on forums, haha...

-Edit-

I also just re-read the forum rules and didn't find anything about IRL threads.
37
It's only pictures, can't say I see some harm in that.
38
I'm not sure if you've guys have noticed but my IRL thread has vanished yet again and no one has told me why.  :l
