Let me very quietly whisper here that we're doing a test with custom user fields.

So, now you can find a Tumblr field in Profile » Forum Profile, where you can specify your main blog's URL name, and it will place a little Tumblr icon linking to your blog under your avatar in topics.

If this one goes well and there is large demand, more may follow. :)

It seems like this little addition was useful. :)
I've made a DeviantArt field as well. I'll probably stop here for now, unless you ask for something else I did not think of. ;)

Also: what you want to write in the little boxes is only the username, not the whole URL. (Most of you got that right, I've only seen one or two wrong links.)
(I'm sorry for leaving it possible to mess that up, probably I'll fix it as soon as I figure out RegEx properly...)

Hey hey, just announcing that the master post of all art threads has been updated (with thanks to Viola).

I still need to add descriptions to several General Discussion board threads, and need to double check everything again, but other than that (which should be finished by tomorrow), it is complete.

Also a general announcement that if any new tutorials are needed, shoot me a pm or something. I'll add it to the thread.
Am notified of private messages via email.

Thanks for the update, it's really useful for absent-minded people like me :D

Announcement: New Personal board
« Reply #22 on: September 21, 2015, 10:27:06 AM »
After discussing that cloaking the entire General Discussion Board for a handful of personal threads is not the best solution, we have decided to create a new Personal board for the most sensitive things, and cloak only that.

In detail:
The following threads got moved to a new Personal board, which is only visible to members who have posted at least one post.The General Discussion Board itself is visible to guests as well once again.

Suggestions and insights are much welcome! :)

I moved it. The calendar may still be viewable though because I don't think it's part of the forum.

Since the board is PG-13 standard, an age limit was applied to the board some months ago. We do not want to fully ban our under aged members who joined before the time that rule was applied. Yet we have to guarantee their safety according to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Rules). At the moment we aim for a compromise:
They can stay on this board, post and read what others write. Since we cannot controll what happens via private messaging, we will deactivate this service for users younger than 13.

In short: Within the next 72 hrs. PMs for those being younger than 13 will deactivated. The users will receive a message shortly after this post is published.

We hope you understand that we do not want to exclude members who have grown to be a part of the community from the board.

Does this imply an official requirement to fill in at least the year of the birthday in one's profile, or is the triage based on an "I'm older than 13 y/n" checkbox added to the registration process?

(For the records, I never actually entered the "0000-00-00" listed in mine, or would otherwise claim to be approaching my 2016th birthday. It's just my clothes being a bit unflattering.)

It is based on the "I verify that I am older than 13" checkbox in the registration.

Basically the law works in that if we know you are under 13 legally we have to remove you from the forum since it is a pg-13 forum. If you are under 13 and we do not know then we are not responsible because there is no way for us to know your age. No one is required to put in their age. The users under 13 that we are not removing joined the forum before the 13+ rule was added to the registration process so it is not their fault.

Dear forumites,

due to recent activities we want to ask for your help. If you repeatedly receive upsetting private messages please hit the report button. That way we are able to see the message send by a user and will be able to solve the issue. It is also helpfull to see connections to events happening outside the forum that affect users inside.

Please understand that username similarities between outside areas and inside are not the only criteria we can act on. In addition reports help us rejudging warnings a user might have already received.

With very few exceptions we can only act on forum based misbehavior. Screenshots can be helpfull, too, yet we prefer you to use the report button as it makes the research process easier for us.

Thanks for helping us to keep this place an as welcoming environment as possible.

Your moderation/admin team.
