ZV needed a cleanse

Oh, and the one line that most applies to this whole situation hasn't been used (so far as I've noticed, anyway):


THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!



And it looks like @dogluver101 is just the "Joker" to deliver it! :)

Can you please restore the 2025 roll call thread in the Australian personals forum? It was consistently active and had decent interactions in it.

Feel like it’s related but I’ve noticed that I now can’t send dm’s at all. My guess is that the posts I’ve interacted with in the past have been removed which has affected my ability to send dm’s. Would that be true?

Yes.

Same for the 2024 and 2025 roll calls in the German section please.
 
As far as I remember where there 2025 still users adding contest. And I see these threads as important knowledge bases about the users which I often check to learn something basically about them.

Did you even read the first post here? The reasoning behind the cleanup?
If there are threads of actual value that should be restored, ask the admins and they'll look into it.

I've read everything, but as I said - the whole point of a forum is to have some history. Most of the posts that were nuked weren't breaking the rules - this type of behaviour from the admins makes this place extremely unreliable. It's like how Trump does things - shoot first, think never. Plus with the strict rules and zero tolerance policy, it sometimes feels like walking on a mine field.

Why do we have such a section? Aren't we supposed to build here a ZOO community? You have places like 4chan/b or FB if you really have a that strong necessity to be toxic with random people on the internet.

Valkiria is clearly a troll or something. There was an argument between HIM (because there are no girls on the internet and I am pretty sure that you won't find a pussy between those legs) an another user and the other user that was clearly more genuine, but he got pissed off and then banned because of it. So why sacrifice genuine ZOOs for trolls that don't even identify as ZOOs?

Bloit said:
Calling strict rules "Opression" is rulebreaker mentality. If those rules lead to frustration and anger, maybe this place is not for you.

Do you always read all the rules wherever you go? Whenever you click I agree? I will answer that for you, nobody does! That's why there always needs to be some tolerance and not just ban right away - it's what it means to be human.

No, the point of a forum isn't "history". It's for people to communicate with each other.
And of course you'd pull a "trump" card. There goes your credibility.

Because god forbid we have some fun in a free-for-all section.
If you don't like the section, STAY OUT OF IT. Hell, you even have a setting to completely hide it!

We don't have to conform to your idea of what a forum should, and shouldn't have.
How entitled are you?!

So a user got riled up by someone who is "clearly a troll", and broke the rules.
Welcome to the fucking internet.

We don't have entrance exams. We don't require proof of being a zoo. Fuck, 99% of the forum wouldn't pass if we did.

Ignorance of the rules isn't an excuse.
People arguing for "tolerance" on forums know jack shit about moderating a forum.

It's fucking impossible to keep track of how much "tolerance" a user has gotten.

Break the rules? Banned. It's that fucking simple. And frankly, that's the most fair method.

Mentioned a bit earlier. ZT listened to Fausty. ZT sent a telegram voice message and Fausty claimed he had that one much older forums.
Instead of listening to mods ideas or actually coming to assist mods, ZT listened to Fausty like he's running things.
 
Contrary to what some people believe, ZV doesn't ban people that easily.

Sure, there are some simple ways to get banned, but with just a tiny bit of common sense, there's not a lot you can do wrong (enough) to get hammered.

Should I change my user name to Karen? Would that make you happy?
My whole point was that we are here to create a community based on our love for animals, but adult kids apparently just want to play in the sand box.

Again - we are supposed to be a better community of animal lovers... not yet another FB group or something. There is too many of those already filled with toxicity... if the only thing that gets you hard is to be mean with each other - you have many many other pages to go.

I don't mind directness. I'm Dutch, I'm as direct as they come.
My issue with the statement is that equating it to Trump is just stupid.

Nah, they we'd have 1000 karens on the forum. A "Karen" subtitle would be helpful.

Why can't we be both? There is a separate section, which is separate by design. It's not that difficult.

1: Very few users meet the (trust) criteria to become a moderator, here.
2: Fuck no, I don't want to have to deal with the absolute trash some people contribute, here.

Yet you clearly said we get members to break the rules to get them banned.

It was just a more irrelevant rule because the guy clearly got pissed off - which was easy to spot from the context of the conversation that he was having with one of the trolls on duty. But it's not that important anymore. As long as many of the most active users are more or less trolls that have nothing to do with animal love and just like to play around, things will never change. One troll can repel hundreds of users from being active/ take part in the conversation.

As a random person on the internet, I am clearly the only one entitled enough to do so. So you better listen to me or you are risking to get spanked publicly.

Because the average person doesn't have enough mental power to keep those things separated. We need to be dum dum proof.

Now who's being a hypocrite, considering you want to get rid of the DF? You're full-on trolling, there.

That's the pot calling the kettle black, there.
