User Permission Updates and Forum Changes

And to make it brutally more complicated, a new thread is also a post and a post in a group is a post, but profile post is not a post and posts in games and fun do not count as posts.
There is a posts counter on your profile, but it is called messages, not posts. You can try making a post and see if the post messages counter goes up or not, to find out if your post counts as a post or it is not a post.
Clear?

User Permission Updates and Forum Changes

Darn going to be a lurker forever
www.zoovilleforum.net www.zoovilleforum.net


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.
  • Further restrictions have 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  • The ability to read the forum while you are logged out as been revoked.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  • The ability to use the search function while a Guest / Logged Out has been revoked.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.

Another update: October 4th, 2025: Changes to Groups...

As of October 4th, 2025: The ability to create new groups in the social groups area of the forum has been disabled for all members. This is mainly because there's too many of them already, and our moderators are not able to effectively moderate them due to issues with the plug-in itself. The groups plug-in is, quite frankly, broken. If this update is reversed, I'll let everyone know. But for the time being you may join groups, leave groups, interact with groups, post threads, post photos, post events, etc. but you will not be able to create NEW groups.

Seems fair enough.
Think its easier to not think about it to much, reading about what a post is or isnt but also might be a message that may or may not count is harder than just going with it and see what happens!

Hahaha as a «non-english» speaker - this made me SO confused 😂 And then I laughed, because OMG what a tongue twister
 
Is the access restriction lifted autoimatically when you reach 20 or is there a wait period/dine manuallyt. Trying to see if i understand what exactly 20 posts means and what counts. When i click my name it says "messages: 20; reqction score:14, trophy [points: 3"
