We suspect that it is the Switch Software Update that they forced on their users this week. However, these issues should be fixed, if they are still occurring message someone on the team!

@forum-moderators this can be locked & marked as resolved

@ilovecats2018 said in post queue discussion:

@Raven Even if post queue ends, will there still be the VIP Membership?

Most likely, yes. Eventually I want to add more to this VIP thing but I am searching for plugins/addons that would add to their experience and kind of create a difference between normal users and vip users. Currently I just have perks that fit the environment of the forum.

Hopefully that makes sense.

@bugsinbread Can you explain what issues the chats are having?

I tried testing it and it seems like it just slow, occasionally the buttons do not work until you refresh, and your messages don't send sometimes.

I'm taking small steps w/ this at least until we learn what to post and what to not postー of course it is ridiculous, none of us want to approve posts everytime we get online. However, we're working on post quality and getting more engaging content while filtering out what isn't so it is harsh but effective. To be fair, I did give 2 warnings to the whole community before I took action. On the bright side, if all is going to continue how it is going currently with the better post quality that we're getting it should be gone by the end of the week and I will begin working to improve other things that are becoming an ongoing issue to hopefully resolve this to the best of my ability.

I just ask that you're patient with me and that you trust the process, I surely won't disappoint.

Thanks,
Raven

@expiredbug It's based on if you've had any bans, mutes or warnings in the past month. Also based on our judgement

@Idyll said in Rate your experience so far on BDNS:

I appreciate your optimism and determination. In my case, I doubt I will get far on here, since this is from what I can tell mainly a teen populated forum, I may give off a frightening vibe that might ruin any attempt having a proper discussion, as I may be seen as "dry", "cold" or whatever else. Despite being a teen myself (17 to be specific), my desire for having a meaningful conversation and not participating in meaningless banter makes me feel incompatible with the majority.

Thanks for the feedback, the team is currently looking at ways to fix these issues, but really it is more of a community thing and something the whole community needs to fix individually.

@Raven
you moderate a web forum in 2025 your opinion dosent hold much weight lmao

Respectfully, I don't know why you think anything you say matters but other peoples opinions don't. I don't think you understand how egoistical and stupid that sounds from you. You can leave, we are not keeping you here. I could honestly care less about you or what you have to say.

You literally can not say something so disrespectful and expect to get respect back from it and I am saying this to everyone, it just isn't how this works.

I want it to be clear that I did not send that post with the intention to discriminate, be disrespectful, or cause harm to anyone. I simply sent it with the intention to point out how stupid something was and to try and make it clear that everyone gets the same kind of treatment but we're attacking the person who was literally standing up for someone else, kind of shows why people keep leaving. To be fair I could care less about someones sexual orientation and i'd probably forget about it eventually.

I'll probably do like how I did last year, which is just give an update on the statistics and where things are at currently.

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.

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

@BIBLECAMPVICTIM I'm going to ban you if you continue to abuse the poll system with nonsense responses.

Pretty self explanatory. Just don't create responses and submit stupid stuff that has nothing to do with the site.

@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.

@BIBLECAMPVICTIM I'm going to ban you if you continue to abuse the poll system with nonsense responses.

I am thankful for the trust people embed into me.

The SSL Certificate expired I think, I have already told VG so please be patient.

The @administrators might need to take a look unless @Almond can find a way, I am at a loss of ideas.
