So let me get this straight, you guys are downvoting a new users posts because you feel like it will make them stop posting things you don't like. Leave people the f*ck alone and learn to ignore. Regardless of how much you think they're shitposting, there is no reason to downvote someones post when they're simply asking questions.

Then you come and say life does not work that way. Maybe think about how doing this in the real world would work? Imagine how someone who is new to a neighborhood for example would feel if they get the same treatment you are giving them. I think they would feel pretty unwelcomed.

Every single person who downvoted that post, that is bad looks on yourself, and for the record, don't say dumb shit in a thread where support is needed. If you are not going to assist in an appropriate manner, go find something else to do.

Shit like this is foolish and I assure you it won't be tolerated.

By the way, I'm Raven a global moderator. Nice to meet you!

You sent two other people dms stating stuff that is not allowed. Stop Already!

I guess this didn't end how you wanted it to, yeah?

F*ck off and enjoy your stay at "BrowseDNS Ban List Incorporated". @Starter-Moderators This can be locked. @Nightkingale @VGMoose You have fan mail

I want to make a few things clear...

Just because someone calls you a bitch and you're here to moderate the site that does not give you or anyone else an excuse to tell someone to cut themselves. It's unprofessional and it pisses me off when I see people trying to defend that.

Nobody on my team will ever find a reason to say that to anyone here and it does not matter what the fuck they said to you or someone else.

He was already banned, there's no reason to ban him again other than the fact they posted all those threads.

I am already pissed off by reading what they said because there was so many ways to avoid telling someone to cut or kill themself, so many other solutions, and so much more.

If I was still a Global Mod I would have demoted that mod no questions asked, that's again a disgrace seeing that coming from a moderator.

Anyone who has a problem with that come to me directly. I don't give a shit how much your feelings were hurt, NEVER is it okay to say that especially when you were only called a Bitch.

This is a good example of people that post things when they have no clue what they're talking about.

SHUT UP and get with the program

@Eggyz999 said in 2025 - Moderator Of The Year Election:

I have a suggestion: Could you release the reasons on a post? I wrote smth really nice and I'd like my friend to see it :) Even if its anonymous

Closer to the 15th I may release that info for everyone. Ideally it will just have the place everyone is in and some inspiring messages from some of the users.

I have seen lots of responses that are very kind and heart-warming about several different moderators, which is something that has really made my day.

@BIBLECAMPVICTIM I literally just said how.

Outstanding post!

Here is my unrequested input:

You have free speech, you can post anything you like even if it is against the rules. That is your decision!

Because we have rules that you agreed to when registering your account, breaking them when using your free speech rights gives us the right to restrict access or give suitable consequences for that action.

Me and @Almond will be taking the role as co-admins!! Congratulations to us both

I want to first start off by saying thank you all for your continued support through my year of moderating BrowseDNS. While we have all had some rough times together there is more to come 100%, it is up to us to stop that from stopping us.

Us (BrowseDNS) have so much potential. We just need to show these other websites why we're the best!

While we are co-admins we will keep all of you safe and promise to uphold the values of the site and services to the best of our ability. I have been moderating for almost a decade and Maribitt has moderating for a long time as well. Let's practice our administrative skills, shall we?

Obviously the first couple days will be rough and we hope you'll be patient with us.

If you ever have any questions, suggestions or bugs to report you're more than welcome to let us know and we'll handle it for you. If we can't we'll pass it to the service administrators.

Our managerial staff, @Nared, and the forum moderators deserve all the recognition in the world.

Regards,
The Raven & Maribitt Administration.

Good Afternoon,

I have some good and bad news, which would you like to read first?

The bad news is that we did not get to remove the post queue completely.

The Good News is that we lowered the reputation requirement for bypassing the queue to 20, which is over half the amount it was originally. This will make sure all users have a good understanding on the site rules. You can find them at: https://browsedns.net/topic/7/welcome-check-here-for-rules-and-info

Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to leave us any feedback.

No VPNs are allowed at this time, if you are using them right now please disable it while you are on this site. Failure to do so will result in removal from the website (meaning you will be auto-banned), please adjust to this rule.

We are taking steps to disable VPNs, your online safety will come first before anything else. Having a VPN means we can't track you in the event of something more serious.

ALSO, this rule will be effective immediately. Our @Forum-Moderators will have you banned if you are using a VPN, we can check, it isn't that hard.

Using a VPN on the site will return a 403 error until you remove it

Thanks!

Category Changes

Created - Forum Archives: This category is a substitute for thread deletions, any old or useless threads can be moved here.

Created - Regular Blogs: This category is for any regular blogs you would like to post. IRL Blogs should remain in the IRL category.

Restricted - Edge Of The Forum was temporarily disabled for around 11 hours, we had an issue with the Questions & Answers plugin which basically marks your threads as a question or as a solved question. It was doing that for every thread, which was a glitch.

Bug/Glitch Patches
All In Progress Bug/Glitch Reports can be found here.

- Seems there was an issue with the text colors not functioning, I believe that it was because you were posting in Edge Of The Forum after I disabled the category through the admin panel.

- Every post was being marked as an unsolved question despite the plugin being disabled for every category. This should be fixed.

- Seems there was an issue with old notifications not going away. If you encounter this click "Mark all as read" which is found inside your notifications window.

Moderation Features

Muting Users - Forum Moderators will eventually be able to mute users. This is not a ban, the user that is muted will not be able to create any messages, threads or posts until the mute is over.

Work In Progress Projects

There will be a new feature that puts a spoiler on all gifs... It is unclear if this is a mandatory thing or an optional setting.

We are actively looking for new category ideas, our plan is to remove all the inactive categories and replace them with better ones.

New Rules & Guidelines

Mentioning or Speaking about drugs, weapons or any illegal activity is prohibited.

Additional Information

If you're interested in becoming a moderator PLEASE reach out to @BritishUnity837, @Almond, @Nared or @NightmareWolfie

The Media Team is also hiring for more information please message the department administrator, @Raven

You should get your GED regardless of what your mother says if you plan on getting more beneficial jobs and opened doors in the future.

Just get that over with and you'd probably be able to get more jobs and everything else you want to do. Without it you don't have many work options and/or any college choices.

After you get your GED, you don't even have to go to college or further your education, but dropping out is the worst mistake a human can make in their life and eventually does not get them anywhere.

If you believe that dropping out will support you 10-15 years (or more) from now then go ahead and do what you think is best, but choice wisely. You can always go back for your GED.

When he learns to stop acting like a clown then i will take unbanning him into consideration. He will be unbanned just how everyone else will. If he does not want to go through the process than he can stay banned.

@amongusenjoyer said in Whats the best looking pride flag? ( aesthetically speaking ):

@ilovecats2018

being proud of being straight is kinda cringe tbh

Questioning why it is okay for him to be disrespectful to a particular group of people but it is just so horrible when someone does it to the lbgtq. Nobody here gets special treatment regardless of their sexual orientation, I was simply giving back what he gave.

I literally have no problem with anyone that has a different sexual orientation than mine. Like I said, I was simply giving back what he already gave.

i have a feeling you were doing this while they were tryna teach lol

I'm not the one to go at someone if they truely are making a commitment to changing their ways, obviously there are some things we can't give second chances to. In regards to this inappropriate conduct situation I believe that because it does not involve BrowseDNS you are indeed bringing on more drama to the website than we already have. Nothing will be done at all on our behalf until this conduct continues here.

Anyone who consistently takes part in drams will be subject to mute or ban, no questions asked. If you do think that rules of our website were violated please contact a global mod or forum mod.

I believe ICE is important but to a certain point. This Mass-Deportation the US is doing to innocent people is ridiculous, I would understand deporting felons and criminals but innocents will never stand by me.

I knew that this new president wouldn't have been a great idea which is why I tried voting for the other person running. By hey, get comfortable. We have a long road ahead of us.

@YourAriesBestie said in i don't get it :/ (rant):

one thing i've noticed is that people will always find a reason to hate someone, just because something isn't necessarily normal to you doesn't mean you can bully someone about it.

The world will forever be full of hate and it would take one big miracle to fix that
