Why should player suggestions for site improvement have to come with an ultimatum?

I'm not seeing an ultimatum in my post. I'm asking because I am genuinely curious. If the owner of the site and his paid staff turn out to have zero interest in your demands(and yes, I am absolutely phrasing your "suggestions" as such because this is how they have read since before the secretary thread) which I suspect is going to be how Chris and the rest of them react should these issues brought to his attention, continuing to argue for said changes just seems like lots of wasted energy to me. Energy better spent trying to get changes that the higher up's are actually interested in implementing.

Another thing, and this is just a theory on my part: Pretty much all of the users currently pushing for these changes are free players. You all don't currently pay much into the game, especially if you're using ad-blockers(and come on now, who doesn't?). If Chris is going to listen to anyone besides the PB, it's likely that he's going to listen to the paying players, including SM's. He'll likely write off free players as come-and-goers with no investment in making the game better. This was often how he treated users on the old site, and I don't see any reason why that behavior will have changed?

Right, so regarding a sentiment some here have alluded to, that it is not on the creator of a possibly triggering outfit to “censor” it for the sake of someone more sensitive, let me tell you about the bimboland lgbtq discord.

It allows minors in it, which is why we have a restricted 18+ section for discussing topics we think would be inapropriate around minors. Similarly we have channels specifically for discussing heavy uncomfortable topics, so that the people who do not want to engage in such content won’t be forced to. And far as I’ve seen no one is complaining about any of this on the server.

The question is not ”should the forum guardians start moderating outfits too”, but ”should team bimbo take moderating outfits into consideration”. I believe that when you give people the tools to self moderate the majority will, which is why being able to spoiler an outfit by for example blurring it, like the avatars on the who spied on me tab get blurred, would be the ideal form of moderation that would both not add pressure for anyone on team bimbo nor would it be heavy ”censorship”, since the outfits are still allowed to exist. I think these spoilered outfits should not be able to be categorized though, because then we’d avoid them still being visible in outfit fights where people would still accidentslly be subjected to seeing them.

This is the SUGGESTION people have made. Rather than bait frustrated people into fighting with you on the forums maybe just consider discussing the idea with Mariolka for example and ask him honestly how feasible or unfeasible it is to achieve from a technical standpoint.

it's the way you reply that makes it seem that's how you view us. that the people in this thread are a nuisance because we're asking all parts of the bl government to hear us out and tbh any ideas we have should be directed towards toki because Toki is the prime bimbo and has a direct line to chris. so it's really weird that you came out very hostile, nobody is targeting you or saying that you directly should be doing anything. we're just voicing our opinions, as you do in a democracy.

Do not put the words in my mouth based on your assumptions because you can't hear me. I am not a native speaker as some of you are. Even some of you who are native speakers have very hostile tone, but that probably doesn't count at all... Anyway, troublemakers, nuisance and I don't know if there's something else, are all your words.

When forum guardian (most of us) posts something in threads like this, they don't talk from the perspective of a player, but from the perspective of FG (bimbo police). They also usually voice pretty much common sentiment and thought, not personal. Forum thread is public so anyone could reply, you didn't write to Toki directly so to expect hearing only from her. As a matter of fact, all FGs receive your reports, not only Toki, including reported posts, outfits, profiles, usernames, debate answer and everything. FGs are dealing with it, so it makes sense to hear from us too. It happened I was online tonight.

CD asked you something. Do you know why?

Toki will come forward with answer soon. Don't worry, you will hear from her too.

"If the admins, the PB and her staff, or any mix of both decide not to listen to your concerns regarding these issues or implement any kind of change, what are you guys going to do moving forward?" Is asking if we have an ultimatum.

Chris lost a large amount of paying players due to lack of changes to the site. Non-paying players do put a lot of work into this site considering the shop items rely on a userbase that is willing to create free art for his website. Many people bringing up these suggestions are long-time players who are obviously dedicated enough to stick around and ask repeatedly for improvements on a site that, as you stated yourself, doesn't pay attention to its users.

The only reason this site is operable with so little staff intervention is because work, that is typically paid on similar sites, is pawned off onto its userbase, who are vehemently shut down at every suggestion that is made. So what would the higher-ups actually be interested in implementing? We've already seen BL become an unironic dictatorship so I'd love to know plans from this point.

I mean no offense to you cd but the fact that chris doesn’t really listen to his user base even when they do pay for sentatorships and like. I’m also kinda poor? I’m not gonna pay money for bimboland I have medical bills to pay lol. Idk for me the allure of bimboland is that the user base was supposed to be able to have Imput in the government because bimboland is a democracy and now it feels like it’s lost that a lot especially recently. It’s more of an oligarchy now instead of a democracy and it kind of sucks that bimboland has lost that charm to it. So yeah I’m not gonna pay for a senator ship when the reasons I joined this site in the first place have slowly gone away. I joined cus the community aspect was cool to me and also cus this used to be an 18+ Dress up site. It’s still a dress up site but the community has Not been fun recently which is why I don’t log in anymore and why I went on strike in the first place.

You say that Chris should listen to the playerbase's opinion, but I constantly see the same group of people (+/-) coming up with ideas that are not necessarily wanted by a majority of the players. Maybe it'd be more useful to talk to your SMs and they might have a stronger voice in this, instead of creating a thread (which somehow leads to taking it on the staff) and then complain the change is not happening, when no one agreed in the first place it should happen.

if you think its such a small amount of users who want these features why not open up a poll to ask the userbase if other users are interested in them as well instead of assuming and belittling us :/

Check the total number of players the site has. Some of them are bots, yes, but not all of them :)
And accusing me of belittling you isn't accurate at all. You voice your opinions, I voice mine - and I also suggested you a better way to handle this.

damn its almost like theres such a small amount of those accounts that are even still active :D did you even bother to ask the other active users their opinion?

many people on here feel belittled by staff and have spoken up about it and were brushed off but whatever were just a bunch of loud annoying mean gays we should shut the fuck up right :/

go ahead and jail me for this. prove my point <3

case in point for how i personally felt belittled here: i opened up about a trigger of mine that was caused by parental abuse that i experienced as a young teen and i was told to go to a kids site instead and i felt that was implying i needed to be babied. this is the last edit ill make to this post sry
