Are all you folks already on the new forum (Zoocadia)?

FloofyNewfie said:
Welp, wasn't planning on posting in this thread quite yet, but yes. We spoke to WolfNyx and addressed a couple of things. Other things we were having issues even replicating. Although some of the issues mentioned are also issues on ZV.

But if anyone's curious I still do plan on being an administrator here, I don't hate ZooVille or anything like that. Zoocadia is mostly a passion project between myself, @Octavian, @FoxandtheHounds, huskbernard, @Daneζ, and @Bloodwolf. It has nothing to do with ZooVille and is it's own thing. It is on the same forum software, Xenforo, but after looking at 20 different forum softwares Xenforo fit our needs/wants the most.

Basically it's a forum that more caters to zoophiles and less to fetishists, pornhounds, and wankers, but we still want people to be themselves. We don't have a non-zoo porn section, genitals are not allowed as avatars nor profile banners, personal ads and meetup requests are not allowed to be posted on the forum, you have to actually participate on the forum to see the porn section, and we do have "The Controversial Zone" which is similar to the DF except it does have a couple additional rules besides the ones already on ZV. The DF adjacent section is also opt-in as well, and the majority of users do choose to do so. But we know not everyone wants to see that section, which is why it's opt-in, meaning, if you don't want to see it, you don't have to.

Basically, you'll mainly see less "DM me gurl, ur hawt! 🍆💦🍑" and "19F looking for someone to give me sex with big dog, am virgin, UwU" type posts. The idea is to make it to where these types of people will not want to stick around the forum for too long. Eliminating the non-zoo and personal ad sections should also yield less catfish/fake accounts as well, since it's those are the areas that they mainly propagate on this forum, as well as the desperate wankers that fall for them.

The forum is pretty small (but quickly growing), but will always be smaller than ZooVille. There's no ifs, ands, nor buts about that. And that's fine with the staff members that run this site, everyone understands that. We wouldn't want 90% of the userbase (kinksters/fetishists/pornhounds) on Zoocadia anyways. As, many of you know, actual zoos are outnumbered 10:1 on here.

Join or don't join, it's up to you. We know that it's not going to be a zooey space for everyone and that's mainly the point. It's a space for actual zoos that want to come together in one area, a breath of fresh air from all the kinksters/pornhounds/and fetishists.

Sorry Floof didn't mean to drag you over here by your @ss prematurely 😆. Glad the issues got patched up in any case 👌

Tough go, that... Can we say "balancing on a razor's edge"?

That should help cut down on the wankers and wannabes traffic.

Hallelujah! That will DEFINITELY make the place a bit classier. (And no, I'm *NOT* being even the slightest bit sarcastic)

Not a bad idea. At least here, the majority of that crap seems to stay buried in the personals section, which I rarely even scroll down to, let alone enter.

Careful, there - shades of Beastforum. Not that I particularly disagree, but done wrong (like Beastforum did) you can bet on it causing howls of outrage.

On BF you had to share to download. ZC you have to have at least 12 posts, a 50% reaction score (so spamming "hi" to a dozen intro threads won't get you in), and your account has to be 2 days old.

The 3 combined means people joining just to look for porn won't see it and will leave of their own accord, unless they bother reading the rules they won't even know there's a porn section they're missing.

Ah - Gotcha. Haven't gotten around to looking over there yet, so wasn't aware of the details. Sounds reasonable. Not a big deal for me either way - While I do poke my nose into the F/animal porn category here, it's not a major reason for my being here. Hell, in all honesty, it's not even a MINOR reason for me to be here. Not when I've got as much of "The Real Thing" as I could ask for wandering around available.

It is likely that these values will be increased, because after a while the hidden porn seekers start liking each other's Hi comments, in the hope that ZC contains exclusive and exotic porn, which is not on ZV.
They are wrong though. The M/F and F/M categories are still empty. And it's much more typical for zoophiles to see Solo animal sections grow in size, not M/F or F/M threads.

I will never get a badge. Other users already received it after 10 comments, after 40 comments they already had a reaction score of over a thousand, just because their name is what it is.
I have always been a dubious judgment at ZV and other places, I will never achieve the same results as others, no matter how much I work for it. If my name were Floofynewfie, even a smiley face comment would receive 150 likes in an hour. This is the same for all other users, based on their history. The community prefers older members and members with consistently positive reviews.
This is why such functions are switched off on our forums.

I don't kiss ass any forum, they all have their faults and advantages. I just use it, that's the job of a user. If I find it boring, I logout.
I like ZV, I like ZC, (I also like Floofy :husky_ohmy:), I will say good and bad about both forums because this is the fair and neutral one.
And of course, sometimes it's good feelings to mixing shit. :ROFLMAO:

They got more reactions because they were in the fun and games area. Not because everyone knew each other. But I won't take away from you being right. Continue.

And they add likes each other's meaningless game comments because they know each other or their ZV background. On such sections, the reaction signals should be turned off or counter zero, e.g. It raises members to a high score who do not even comment in relation to zoophilia. It should also be set here on ZV. Games comments and reactions have a value of 0.

btw, I know UR20Z he writes comments to make people fall at each other's throats. :)

i don't think it's even a secret some sucking up is happening over there. "household names" do have what seems like ten times the reactions to their post count, happens here too it's just more hidden in the noise.

i can see @UR20Z getting bored on zooville2 rather quickly if he does decide to join. "not nice" replies are getting deleted which is fucking hilarious.

It's no secret, it works like this everywhere, but its maximum could be moderated by ignoring comments and reaction points in insignificant section areas. And this is something that ZV could also learn from. After 10 very hot comments in the porn section, private messages are allowed.

Did this happen in ZCDF? I did not see in the zoophile sections that there was a deletion.
Anything can happen in the DF part, just like here. I avoid it by far. Maybe I should do the same here.
 
nekdoneco123 said:
you're not a mod there, are you? how would you see a deletion?
was in introductions
Click to expand...
Xenforo can issue a moderator/administrator rank, while looking like a normal user.
Of course no.

They must have had their reasons. I'm a dubious user, many people don't like me, none of my posts have been deleted. If someone was deleted, it was for a good reason.
 
New forum... I still have logins from other forums I never use, and when I am in two places at the time I usually fade from both. Um. Got to think about it.

No wankers and no genitals pfp sounds good.
On the other hand one of the reasons to join here was finding zoos near me. Found just a few, but on the Spanish subforum. Most are not go to English sites and in fact I never encountred any in past encarnations of English only forums.

Another was finding some of the old farts I used to talk to, but have not identified them here, so not likely to find them there either.

And the 50% ratio... ugh. That will take a lot of mutual back scratching if you are a frequent poster and you do not
a) post "content" -porn or fun and games- or
b) post aiming to piease. (limiting your posting and manner to get some reactions so you do not down your ratio)
Just cheched the most frequent posters. Most are under the ratio.
I know I would not qualify as I am
Here only 8 would qualify, some for porn uploads, other cause they are staff and get many reactions when they solve some big annoyance.

Well. All alternatives are good to consider. Bookmarking 🙂

Are you ok? I mean you seem very hung about something.

No. 0.5 ratio:
100 comments, 50 points.
1000 comments, 500 points.
10000 comments 5000 points.



And Floofy checkd reaction point stuff, reactions cannot be turned off separately. Either it works everywhere or nowhere. Unfortunately, this is Xenforo's fault.
It's annoying because it's a paid forum system and you'd expect something like this to be customizable. :rolleyes:
And users would have been happier if the score was more reflective of professional knowledge in zoophilia rather than the "count to infinity" stuff. Does not matter.

100% agree its hard to even be here sometimes because of some of the stuff I really have no need to want to join anywhere else and honestly been losing interest here so its kinda complicated.

i am. luckily for you it also has nothing to do with you or your unfortunate presence on zooville2.

you can hide your uno cards, i'm going back to not giving a shit. generally speaking, nothing in particular... zero desire to be "the loud one"
 
Wolfspirit said:
It's not about ego its about not having to encounter gross individuals and videos that are fetishist, bestialist, borderline zoosadist and all around specist. An actual zoo is not someone who is ok with the objectification of nonhuman animals like sex toys and disrespecting them. Then there's the endless dicks in users' pfp. Not sad to see that non-existent either.

If it's listed safe then I'll give it a try, i feel odd when a kinky weirdo with a gross photo and a profile full of crap decides to follow me on zv...


Sorry @Octavian i quoted your answer by mistake 😅

You should still go to therapy and work/talk off that discontent.

Ignore also works on ZC and here too. Use it on someone you don't like.
I like you.
 
The idea of the forum sounds nice. Basically a Thanos Snap of the less desirable types would probably give me a reason to up my activity... but hearing about the hidden porn section brings something else to mind. Will it be regulated at all?
As in. How likely would it be that I go there now and see a dozen or more of my own Content being shared... without me being a member yet?

We are only going to allow porn to be uploaded if the person who is uploading it created it themselves.

So yes, it will be regulated. And if there is someone claiming your content as theirs, there will be hefty consequences for that person.
 
These oh-so-serious and worthy zoo forums are always total sausage fests in my experience, because it turns out that female participants like to lighten up a bit when they talk about sex and relationships. I'll leave you boys to yourselves and your animals and stick around here to do a lot of wanking and occasionally enjoy some human female chat and friendship. Yeah, I love dogs, but I love other humans too.
