    Discussion on Forum Issues?

    Hi. I have several peeves using this forum and I could not find a place to discuss this:

    1. Why the captchas?? This is super annoying to go through with each reply, especially when the captcha can expire or certain things, such as commenting on visitor posts in profiles cannot be completed because there is no captcha. CC forum kinda worked without captcha, so perhaps we may not really need one?

    2. Why do any post/message/comment with web urls become screened or require moderator approval? To give an example, I was trying to reply to a PM, and twice I made the same reply but it came out blank. I removed the external URL and the message finally appeared. This is quite annoying as most of the simulators and links can only be provided by URL, and to go through the hassle of approval just to share it with newbies is excessive.
    Here is the example of blank PM due to the inclusion of URL:

    No, I'm not a robot..

    Yes, i also feel it's a hassle to include a captcha in order to post something, i posted 9-10 times before my guide finally got approved. This function should be removed.

    They appeared, gleaming and victorious. Our Emperors, breathless, bathed you in savior's silk. Then came the sound. Across all our worlds,the ceremonial Naga drums. Ten solemn beats to declare the suffering was over. With each beat terror began to crush my throat. They were not stoic and silent. I tried to call out but only a strangled whisper escaped.
    When the ninth beat rang a torrent of blood filled the stadium, loosed by divine blades.The drums,the Empire, fell silent forever.

        Captcha is really annoying indeed, I think I lost a lot of brain cells editing my threads due to this nonsense clicking of unlimited respawning cars or roads.

        You have to make your URL link broken so that it won't need approval.

        1. Avoid using links in your posts. Links automatically make posts become unapproved. You can bypass this two ways - by adding an extra character in the link to make the link broken (ie www.google.com) and go back to edit your post to the correct link once your post has gone up, or you can directly ask me to change it to the correct link by doing a [GM] DENTITY

        2. Avoid using spammy, nonsensical thread titles - Currently the approval system is set up to prevent the seemingly millions of forum bots that keep spamming the forums with thread titles filled with special characters and the like. Naming your thread in a similar manner will automatically unapprove your post.

        Keeping these things in mind should help everyone have a smoother experience, including myself. Happy foruming!

          I see. To think that a GM actually promotes this; I will consider this when posting in the future. Thank you.

            This forum is censoring the word "7 m" (no space) for unknown reason. It autocorrects it into **.

            It happened to me 3 times already. It broke my image url (randomly generated url by postimages) and there's no fix but to reupload.

                This forums needs a few change. I feel very uncomfortable with this current system.

                  I tried using the [ img] tag from CC's forum and it works. However doing so limits to 4 pics per post. You could try this out instead ^^

                    B-but i prefer to use this forum's Image Tool. It's a great improvement compare to CC.
                    There are lots of customizing support and it's very easy to use. ><

                    This forum also allows 100+ images per post. Perfect for threads like my costume gallery. XD
