ZV needed a cleanse

well some of us can't afford to own animals, especially in this country, Im sure it's easy for the privileged few, but not for a lot of us, I would love to one day be an owner when I can afford it, but that's not possible rn, and Im sure a lot of people don't want to wait years to be able to maybe afford to own an animal, and would rather test the waters seeing if others are willing to help us out, idk why you feel the need to go after folks wanting things, there's no rules against seeking that stuff out on here, Ive read through them multiple times, so unless I need my eyes re-examined, there's nothing wrong with it here, this will be the last reply I post to you, anyone else I will respond, I don't have the patience or care to sit here and argue about this

i wasnt able to afford one at the beginning too - worked alot towards it and i am very sure u can make it too ❤️
 
Everything vanished. Does anyone know if ZooVille does some sort of clean-up process where they routinely delete everything? Not just Australia, but other nations have also lost all their threads. Or is the website just glitching out? Anyone else see this?
 
Mods felt a cleanup was needed :)

ZV needed a cleanse

So I never actually provided announcements on this. They usually just happen to be who ever asks first, or if someone sees it mentioned. Today, personals needed to be cleaned, including non zoo sections. I was nice and left a few. Certain posts in some non-zoo porn sections were ripe with...

Oh that’s both good and bad, but a lot of great posts removed and watched topics removed. Haven’t been on here in a while so I’ve probably missed a lot of recent posts anyway. Can build the community back strong again to see who’s currently active on here
 
Next time the cleaning should be announced a few days in advance in a banner.
It is leaving too many people confused and leads to creating multiple copies of the same question because asking people to look in the usual places first is too much.
People nowadays do not know how to internet.

It’s really not that hard.
 
The Purge should have started with all dormant accounts that have not been logged in for the last million years which still gets likes, dms, profile message etc

Should also apply to accounts that have been banned for stolen or fake content - Just delete them and all their posts

EDIT: I actually started a specific thread, that was deleted, as a "honeypot" to attract fakers, which actually worked
Maybe worth leaving some for that reason as they do a good job in attracting them to be identified and banned

Indeed auto kill any account not logged in for a year just logical, gets rid of sleeper accounts from bots and such and keeps things clean and tidy
 
Hi,

I absolutely cannot understand the ill-considered decision to delete all personal ad and meetup threads and posts. What kind of signal does this send to users when their posts are deleted after less than a day? I think this is a sure-fire way to scare users away and chase them off. Even if the threads are a week, a month or a year old, you can't tell from their age alone whether they have been dealt with.

And the many deleted posts in the Bestiality Discussion section contained important knowledge for reference. Apart from that, a lot of work went into the posts; I alone spent many hours researching, which were now wasted. Users feel that their commitment to the forum and other users is not really appreciated.

I strongly doubt that this will increase their motivation to get involved and help others. Why invest effort if there is a risk of deletion? Users will then limit themselves to very superficial posts.

As an admin and moderator in one forum for 25 years and a visitor and active member in around 200 other forums over the years, I can say that other forums never delete users' knowledge or specialist posts, as this is precisely what makes forums attractive.

When other forums want to clean up, they try to get rid of inactive members, for example. They are notified and told that if they do not log in within a specified period, their account and posts will be deleted.

This alone would remove a lot of ballast from Zooville. Banned or otherwise blocked users and their posts could be deleted without further ado. A similar procedure could be followed for personal ad and meetup threads and posts, but with a time limit. Thread creators are notified when their thread is one year old that it will be deleted and that they should create a new one if necessary.

There are other useful ways to tidy up and make the forum clearer. All Meetup threads should be moved from the discussion sections to the relevant Personal Ad and Meetup sections. Another option would be to close threads with topics or questions that have clearly been resolved to prevent further posts. If users still want to contribute to a closed thread, they can send a private message to the thread creator. However, the thread creator should be allowed to reopen the closed thread if he believes it is not yet resolved. That much tolerance should be granted.

For me, the most important thing is that people talk to each other and don't just act. Most of the crap in the world happens because people don't talk to each other enough.

Kind regards
CdB

Considering the avatar you're using, I'm not surprised that your next move is to try to play the victim card. Get over yourself. You're not special, you're not owed anything, by anybody, and frankly, you might as well log out and not return, since with this whining your'e doing, nobody who actually has a critter and even minimal smarts isn't going to let you anywhere near it.

Since this isn't a hookup site, and since it has been announced over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that the personals section exists SOLELY as a corral to hold the idiots that think it's "a zoo version of grnder" so they don't shit all over the forum with their desperate "can you PUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASEEEEEEE help me fuck/get fucked by a _________" whining, it's my contention that the entire personals should be wiped to the bare walls weekly, if not daily or even hourly...

This section might be brought back because there were some really useful discussions in it.

The rest definitely won't be. Everyone can rewrite the two lines about where they live and what they want to fuck. At least that way only the fresh ones will remain.
The many stupid users who wrote replies to 4 year old comments.

That this isn't a hookup site, and that they won't have any luck with their desperate searching no matter how long their post stays up.

Nothing will be lost if those users move on as they always have. Such threads also just reared back up 2 years later by yet another thirsty idiot in the same area "I'm looking here too, you had no luck 3 years ago, well maybe I will!".
 
What about also doing the following
- Delete inactive accounts - Already suggested
- Delete Guest accounts / Do not allow them - they suck
- Just delete these sections entirely - Already suggested

If you really need to be advertising what you want to do, have done to you or have meetups/hookups then why not just stick it in your about

Not saying I am squeaky clean myself and that I may have responded to those sections on occasion or more

I specifically asked for that thread to be spared (as a joke before I even knew things will be deleted) and it is kinda zooish.
But at the same time, I did not delete anything during the purge because I did not take part in it and only restored one thread from mine that were deleted.

@dogluver101 as far as I understood it, threads in DF, personals and the human porn section were deleted. But the General Discussion and User Chat and Zoophilia and Bestiality Sexuality were not touched? I lost 4000 posts by the way. Not sure where.

Why are there complaints about lost discussion threads?

Simple answer is because they were having those discussions in the personal ads and hookups section, just have a look at the German section for instance https://www.zoovilleforum.net/forums/germany.101/

Doesn't look like the Bestiality discussions section was even touched https://www.zoovilleforum.net/forums/german.44/

Edited

Those threads probably should be moved to the correct section and restored, I see a couple 500+ page threads that were removed.

Yes all those sections were cleaned up as well with only the larger or active threads left.
 
Well that explanations the 4000 lost posts. :D I doubt I had this many in the DF alone.
