User Permission Updates and Forum Changes

[Kobie3746]

Hello ZooVille!

I'm just giving everyone a heads up that the user privilege permissions have been updated on the forum, along with some other changes to the layout.

NEW User Permissions:

• To be able to access PMs (Private Messages) you must now make at least 20 posts AND you must be a member for at least 30 days on the forum.
• This has also been applied to the PM + Pictures privilege. You must get 150 posts on the forum AND you must be a member for 60 days to be able to send pictures in PM.
• Note: that if you do not meet these new requirements, you may lose access to the ability to send new PMs until you meet both thresholds.

PMs are not a right, they are a privilege that needs to be earned. While setting the bar to 10 posts did cut down on lurker spam, it's become obvious that it's too easy for people to spam 10 posts and then start breaking rules in PMs. While 20 is not a hard number of posts to reach, there's nothing that can be done to subvert father time. You must be patient.

Logged Out / Guest Forum Access:

• The ability to read the forum while you are logged out as been revoked. You'll now see the forum categories, but they will all be set to private.
• This excludes the "ZooVille - News and Announcements" section of the forum, which will still be visible to Guests / Logged Out users.
• The ability to use the search function while a Guest / Logged Out has been revoked. Only members with a valid account may use the search function.
• "ZooVille.org News and Announcements" has been renamed to "ZooVille - News and Announcements" this is because "ZooVille.org" is a locked domain, and I don't think the registrar is going to give it back to us. You may also notice that this section is it's own category now and no longer a part of the general section. This was the only way to unlock it for Guests / Logged Out users.

These changes are mainly due to privacy and user safety concerns. To view the forum you HAVE to be a member of the forum. Due to the nature of zoophilia and bestiality, and due to the fact that this is the largest forum about these topics, we believe having an account should be a bare minimum requirement.

Thank you for your understanding on the matter.

Having to post more is a painting though I kinda get it

Thanks for sharing!

 

[KinkyKivva]

Only been around for a few months, but I can definitely say this was needed.
Thx for the Update!

 

[barebackguy]

Good idea

 

[frogulus]

I understand the reasoning however, the emojis have been disabled for me as well as a tourist. Not sure why this is? Can’t even compliment or agree with anyone.

I’m a settler and I have the same issue

 

[Knutshack]

Good changes. This also reduces non-zoos being on here nor doxxing others since they won't have the patience to post so many things. I like this

I have a question, what do you mean by a locked domain?

A few years ago we lost the .org domain and had to switch to the current .net.

Probably these have the same 30 day restrictions, as it used to be locked behind the old 10 post DM unlock.

Dang it, at least I’m only a few days away

30 days. New rule.

 

[bayareacpl]

Fuck. Yes.

Carry on, gentlemen.

 

[beastman774]

Gets my vote.

 

[Meg97]

Excellent update and changes! Less horny pervs, scammers and fools - the better. Would be great to set 50 or 100 posts to unlock PM's but 20 is fair enough. 30 day probation period is cool, higher requirments for posting pics as well.
Good job, keep it up

 

[cheezmo]

Seems like a move in the right direction from what I've seen so far thank you for bettering this community.

 

[Goattobeloved]

"I can't send DM"
"You need 20 posts"
"Awww... Can't post all that much!!"
"No worries. You have 30 days to reach them. Take your time"
"30 what???"
"Just one post a day. No big deal, right?"

 

[FloofyNewfie]

I lost the ability to react to any post aside from profile posts. Is that intentional?

I understand the reasoning however, the emojis have been disabled for me as well as a tourist. Not sure why this is? Can’t even compliment or agree with anyone.

Hmm... I can probably go ahead and reverse that later today. At one point it was intentional, funnily enough. We used to have a certain nasty ban dodging troll that would spam and harass people he personally disliked with 100s of reactions before he'd get banned again. At the time this was happening, we decided to remove a newer member's ability to give reactions.

But, if this troll is still here on the forum, he's been awfully quiet as of late. This restriction was also implemented when I was still a Moderator, and not an Administrator. I've since discovered that I can just wipe reactions given in the admin panel.

So, I think I can probably go ahead and restore reaction giving to newer users at this point. I actually didn't even think of this restriction when making the recent changes, as that change was made years ago.

 

[Swirrll]

Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Ohhh

 

[LovelyTabu]

Not just you and has been for almost a week

There was a twat who initiated a DDOS attack and since then the site has been very flaky

Thanks for letting me know and you’re right it’s been happening for a min now! so frustratin!

What type of alcohol did you drink?

 

[wolfierem]

Really is a smart move if u tell me

 

[erphy]

Does this have something to do with how the site has been erratically available lately. I have been assuming some kind of DDoS has been underway.

 

[ggdk]

This is a good change! Should put a cap on the number of desperadoes!

 

[K9ALFA]

I take note of the changes. I appreciate them and admit that they are reasonable and necessary. A community that protects its members has a better chance of surviving in the cloud. Many thanks to the administrators. Hopefully we will all be better protected here.

 

[whichway007]

Ok. Thanks for the update.

 

[SquishyB0y0]

good change, even though I'm back to lurker lol
