Forum updates

[KingsDen]

The admin and other moderators should focus on moderation, enhanced reporting of spam, this will keep the forum sane and avoid anything that will discourage participation. Don't make ranking up difficult, just be very lenient on users such that people who are frustrated in the other forum will come here for solace. In the future, when the activity here increases, we can introduce all we want. This is my 1 cent.

All moderators deal with and worry about spam (and other issues) on the forum on a daily basis, and this will continue to be the case. However, this shouldn't distract us from other equally important issues for the forum, and the most important of all is its users. Ensuring that all users have equal opportunities on the forum isn't easy. There's a lot of information to verify in order to sanction those who try to abuse it, but at the same time, we must be very careful when making decisions so as not to harm those who abide by the rules.

Our main mission is to make the forum as a whole work as well as possible, while also encouraging the participation and involvement of all users. That's something that takes a lot of time, especially so we don't rush into making decisions. Still, we always make mistakes of one kind or another.

Calling the election early for Freemind and Jokers, congrats to both you. Well deserved 

Thank you

In anticipation of a "Where did my yellow icon go?" based topic:

Yellow icon from profiles removed - 15/04/2025 ✅
* Admin has removed the yellow icon from local mods and newly teleported, it remains only for under review and inactive/rebound email accounts.

Too many forum updates but key suggested features in the suggestion box are still not being implemented. The yellow badge was cool but with little or no importance to anyone..

I commend the admin for recent updates no doubt, but I'm eager to see more new major forum features.

Aren't we all 

Admin is also pretty busy IRL right now, or at least that's the impression I get from knowing the guy for so many years...

Things will get done, likely altogether in a batch, it'll just take some time when admin finds some.

The yellow square removal is merely confirmation of existence for now.
