Not a word, it seems most Email appeals got the -exact- same Copy pasted response about 'Suspicious Activity' but nothing more.

Stellania from our group got a 48 Hour ban for 'spam' and Suspicious activity. And our policy in the Divas is to only post our WC Advertisement Once every Hour or so. Far from 'spam' in most notions of the word.

Allegedly some people even got their Account Suspended for 'Spam', while Offline.

Actually, it doesn't really make sense for this to be a Automatic Banning Mishap the more I think about it. If it was Automated, EVERY Club that Advertises would be Banned. But while there are a LOT of Clubs and Groups reporting this shit, it's not ALL of them. However, I'm NOT going to claim this is someone abusing the Report Function, but I can see people thinking this. We -need- information from @Gizmo and @Lisa about these Bans. Because as it stands now, this WILL lead to drama I'm afraid. Every club that -Wasn't- Banned is gonna be looked at suspiciously.

My bad. My reply and your ‘nvm’ crossed. Stella’s thread is still there indeed.

It’s still there?

My dark suspicion now is though that we’re gonna get another copy pasted response like. ‘The game servers are unstable because of X, problems will be fixed.’ And then they’ll lock this thread to pretend it never happened.

Agreed. I think the point now isn’t that action is being taken. It’s the way said action is not communicated clearly to the Players. If there is a new rule about our behavior in chat. Tell us. Before ban-hammering everyone that so much as sticks a toe over the line.

We always have Only one person putting up the Ad. And then only once every 30 to 60 minutes. IF we advertise at all that is.

Stella got a one single word ‘Spam’ as “reason for suspension” though. So it’s not the ‘forbidden words’ thing.

From the standpoint of an automated system, it’s a lot of messages close together that all have 50% of the text be repeated every message.

They already have a countdown to join. Called the ‘Login queue’

For all we know it’s an automated script going off the rails and flagging the “Welcome (Name)” messages as spam because they’re close together and repeat the same word. Seeing how unstable the game is now, it could be a error. But even then, Communication is Key. @Lisa and @Gizmo please Clarify these things.

1- I don’t know for sure. But seeing as I’ve seen people say they where #950 in the login queue after one of the recent crashes, logically that means there’s at least that many players on the server. 2 - The room list varies from time zone to time zone. And is also subjective because the screenshot might be from someone who has the host of larger rooms on ignore, thus not showing said room in their list. 3/4 - Technically yes. Several of the newer poses and clothes are user submitted. No clue on timeframes though. 5 - No clue. I can’t objectively say anything about that. My personal feeling would be Stagnant but Slowly improving. 6 - What admins? The entire Dev Team is two people. Afaik. There is Zero in game moderation. Except for a Automated Chat Monitor that bans people that mention words from a hidden list, said list mostly including names from ‘games’ that run on stolen source code from this one. All other ‘moderation’ on Kinks and in game behavior is nonexistent to sparse. It depends on players reporting things via the ‘Report’ function.

I hear ya on this point. And you are right. But it’s also a thing that the Devs here seem to like the ‘easy’ way of fixing things. And in that case a slight modification of the existing Ignore system would give much of the functionality that people ask for. And ignore is Not permanent, it’s a toggle. You can decide to unignore them and talk to them again after.

I don’t know much about programming but I guess expanding on an existing function is easier then coding in something entirely new. Wouldn’t most of the issues be resolved if the current Ignore function would just boot you from the room? Either if you get ignored by the host, or if you iggy the host. Seems to me that would solve most asked for issues with the least amount of work involved.

Could be done with a ‘Remove from room’ and a separate ‘Remove and Ignore’ option for room hosts. Making the first Remove last for x amount of time. Alternatively, just add a Automatic ‘Room Closed’ for any two people that are ignoring each other. Iggy a guest, the room closes for -them- only. Guest ignores the Room Host, same thing.

But to comment on the topic at hand. I agree that a Kick option is sorely needed in this game. Will it be abused by some? Undoubtedly. But I believe that the pros outweigh the cons. By far.

And here I was thinking the joke was you. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification.

Shout out to @BadWord for being a good host at her bar, ‘Last Bar in Town wasn’t it? I’ve seen her post around the forum recently and liked her style. Sharp minded but not afraid to listen to reason and retract things if asked politely. And to add another at random. Someone I’ve spoken negatively about at some points. But I’m not above acknowledging the good she does. @Aliviax I might not always like how you do some things, but it can’t be denied that you are passionate about this game, and in your own way give back to this community as best you can. Kudos to you for that.

I remember the day. Short notice to get a wedding ‘chapel’ fitted to the Bee Hive. Me spinning the tunes during the Ceremony and BeeStinger crashing right before the actual wedding would start. Me frantically reloading the room from my backup copy and having the venue back up inside of 3 minutes, then having to rush my timing on the tunes because DavinaP went to fast on the ‘script’ and I believe Paulina adding a song request mid ceremony ^^ It was frantic, hectic but I was damn proud of myself for not letting any of that show towards the Guests or the VIP’s of the day the Davina’s. Good memories that.

Another few from me. I’m not adding these in any particular order but as they come to mind. @Anaganda In my eyes one of, if not The best builders in 3DX. She’s also generous with her art. And while I haven’t interacted that much with her directly. She is a polite, nice and welcoming person. @Stellania A mentor in many ways. To me and others like me. Strict and sometimes aloof but behind those walls a caring heart beats. A well regarded DJ and organizer. And even if she doesn’t want to hear it. She’s the Heart and Soul of the Divas. (I’m soooo gonna pay for putting this up. Teehee, she dislikes the spotlight like this) @panCDCA Just a short compliment for the bringer of roses. Don’t know you as much as others in this list. But most of the time I see you trying to spread good vibes. So keep on trucking buddy. Spread love and roses @)~~~ (did I do that right?)

Title says it all. Let’s see how much positive things we got to say about each other, the clubs around the game, and such. And to start it off, let me be the first to Compliment those that I most often disagree with. @jadekhali You built up Safe Haven from just a few people to a respectable number in a few short months. You have every right to be proud of that. And from what I can tell from hearsay, those on your Discord like it there. You are also very determined and passionate about whatever you engage in. Kudos for that. @Kemistry You’re a good debater, and possess a sharp tongue to go with the sharp mind. Your group is built up professionally and you provide a lot of quality services to a wide array of people. White Breeze is to my knowledge becoming a household name in the community. @chloe and @Felia you two and your compatriots have created a useful tool to provide services to the community and host pretty good parties every now and then. I also understand you’ve been around for a very long time in this community. Always good to see Veterans hanging around this long. @Pandorra You are a good organizer and as shown in some threads here, often a voice of reason. I personally won’t ever forget how it was your Event that molded the group I now Co-Lead into what it is today. My heartfelt thanks for that. May your parties be stellar from now till doomsday. @Davi You took me by surprise. When I met you, you where a amateur that wanted to be an entertainer. I initially dismissed you as a hopeless dreamer. But you proved me wrong and then some. You threw yourself into your ideas with determination and grit. And it shows. Your methods might not be liked by some but it cannot be denied that your hard work made a small group of ‘Independent’ clubs into a formidable Union of Clubs that could fill 24 hours of any given day with parties if so inclined. Now let’s see if anyone else has someone to compliment or put in a positive light. I eagerly await replies. Thank you for reading! -Derai

You know, you could argue that the amount of complaining is a compliment. People love the game so much that disruptions of the game make them very passionate.

Oh yes. So much this. ‘Bug fixes’ Um... Okay? Which ones?
