@Aries first issue happened to me too, i updated and restarted my switch and it started working again

i should be a mod cus i will abuse my power

@YourAriesBestie you just take your job too srsly, youve done this before with other joke posts i made :sob:

holy moly aries canNOT take a joke :sob: taking it way too seriously

i 100% agree with everything youve said meow. in school i was always treated differently and it only pushed me to be more isolated. i just wanted to add in my two cents on this statement here:

this would take resources away from those who need them more

i get what you mean and i think if you genuinely dont want to accept help from programs/stuff like that, thats okay!! but this statement isnt quite true, in fact, its the opposite.
when local, state, or federal programs or nonprofits offer assistance to certain groups of people, 99.99% of the time it actually helps MORE to accept it. many people have the same mindset that accepting it means someone else wont get it. but accepting it means the program can say theyre helping more and more people, which in turn, gives them more funding to help more people who need it. this applies to many things, its generally helpful to boost their program's metrics so they can receive more funding.

just my two cents, not trying to change your mind, but i hope this might encourage others to not feel bad about accepting assistance and stuff.

guys this post queue sucks. im going to outline why we should remove it and implement a better solution.

so first, lets cover why it was implemented to begin with. staff said its because theres many unconstructive posts and that it may discourage users from interacting.

that may be true to an extent - but what else will discourage users from interacting? restricting their ability to post. thats the whole point of a forum, to limit that is to limit the activity of this forum.
i dont believe the root cause of this forum inactivity is unconstructive posts. i think the root cause is constructive post incentives. think about it - if the forum has unconstructive posts without anyone incentivized to make constructive posts, what will happen when unconstructive posts are restricted and only constructive posts are allowed, yet still no incentives to make constructive posts in the first place?
the forum will die. thats what will happen. the root cause of this inactivity is the lack of incentive for a "constructive" discussion.

so how do we fix this?
frankly, i dont know. its tough to incentivize people into having a genuine discussion regarding a constructive topic. but even though i dont know how to fix it, i know that this isnt the right solution.

staff, please remove the post queue or at least try to fix the root cause.
if you disagree, please let me know why, i genuinely want to learn and try to contribute to this forum.

"hey guys the forum is dying. how about we make it more cumbersome for people to post?"

@YourAriesBestie dont give in to him :sob: let him figure it out or not do it at all

@IM_N0T_ØKAY i wouldve offered help but i kinda got the vibe you wanted someone else to do the harder work and you can be the staff, this kinda confirms it :sob:
