User Permission Updates and Forum Changes

not really 30 days for 20 posts = around 0.7 Posts/day for pm

and 60 days for 150 posts = around 2,5 Post/day for attatchments

Well he has 3 posts in 1.5 years. So at that rate he'll hit 20 sometime in 2034 instead of 10 in 2029. Very unfair to delay it so long on him.

For some people it is hard. I would like to know why.

The hard thing for them is that they have to wait 30 days before they can send each other all kinds of garbage in DMs via stories or links or Telegram addresses. And 30 days is a LOT if someone needs fapfap content immediately.


I love Floofy for finally doing this. And I also hate that he's been an admin for ~two years and it took him this long, even though many people, including Pes and Marelover, have mentioned this tightening several times. I don't understand why it took so long to activate such a basic 30 days protection feature. Very slow admin.

But I know, I'm "just Masha" and this is a "normal Masha thing". And next.

To be fair, he did say that he didn't want to take over and immediately flip the boat with radical changes. Still, I'd hardly call 2 years immediate and radical.

so hard...

I got 150 in two weeks without trying all to hard

But You did not come here to herd women.

There are still plenty of topics after the nuke cleanup that can be answered with 150 comments in 30 days. This is not a problem for normal users who want to talk, it's only a problem for those who need video and instant "hidden" (DM) contact.

Hope this does help the number of spammers!

 

[Pigsarefun]

While this will affect me, I think it's a pretty good idea.

Gets my thumbs up

And how many days / posts before this thread is moved to DF?

They don't need to move this thread. They'll just create even more threads to sticky and it'll get lost in the shuffle.

Makes sense to up the required count

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.

Do comments count as posts?

The hell is a "comment" and how would it differ from a "post"?

A post is a post is a post.

 

[UsagiRaine]

Honestly this is a very welcome change thanks for the update

any changes toward the groups sections?

 

[dogluver101]

Do comments count as posts?

You replied here, so that comment counts as a post. If you make a new thread with your own title and your own words, that counts as a post.
Profile posts most likely do not count.

 

[Goattobeloved]

any changes toward the groups sections?

Um... likely.

Asking to join a group is using thevDM system, so people would not be able to join the group until they have DM active.

Furthermore, any group whose owner is now under the limit will not be able to get new members

 

[Jozo666]

Finally, these spammers got out of control recently.

 

[Bethere2006]

This is a very understandable change.

Thanks administrators for all the hours of work in keeping this forum clean and safe! That must be a lot of work.

 

[justaguy88]

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

Good old DDOS, the prime choice of script kiddies with access to bot nets everywhere.

 

[Tryhardguy]

Oh I assume that's why I can't join groups?

I think the updates were great, as they make the community more confidential and secure for users.

Thank you for taking care of us all. Zooville is special because of this care and love
