You have a fair point Sandi and we will be cutting over half of the pinned general threads loose later today. :)

EDIT: We have now done so!

I just thought of a problem that sometimes happens: people (usually new players) post in threads that are long inactive and they bump them up unnecessarily, making others thing that there's a new topic. Would a simple rule like the following be okay to add?

X. Do not post in threads that are inactive for over a year. The discussion on that topic has ended and in some cases you even risk confusing other players about the current events in the game. Posts in such threads will be deleted.

The time period is up for debate and I'd really appreciate your feedback on it? Should it be longer? Shorter? Or is this rule not needed?

I really like the revised rules!

I think it was a good idea to expand on what “discriminatory language” actually means...so that certain people stop thinking that “please stop saying racist things” is the same as actual discriminatory language or personal attacks

I totally agree w honorscollege — bimbo names, profiles, & debate responses are a total free for all in terms of swearing & sexual stuff. There are shop items that are explicitly sexual! Which makes the old “no swearing or mention of sex” rule seem really out of place. The revised rules make more sense.
I think things like sex questions & dirty jokes (in appropriate threads of course) are totally fine. If people wanna erotic roleplay that bad, they can slide into a consensual partner’s DMs, lol

For the threads that are over a year old, is there a way to archive them or something? Since ppl dont always check the date before posting on a thread

I'm really tired so I'm not going to be too eloquent, I just have one loophole/thing that might confuse people I'd like to have ?specified? Words. Can't with them rn.

So in regards to the rule of no pornography etc, pictures of genitalia. Do we consider breasts genitalia? Do we consider "fEmaLe pResEnTinG nIppLeS" genitalia? (this is me quoting tumblr's stupid updated terms of service, according to which female presenting nipples=bad. They switched their site to sfw and there was all kinds of outrage. Anyway.) 

In short, I agree that pornographic imagery is bad here, and pictures of breasts in pornographic/fetishized contexts should be censored, but if we censor "female presenting nipples" point blank (no artistic/neutral nudity) then we better censor male nipples too because equality. #freethenipple

I am aware that we are living with the remnants of the  Victorian Puritan bullshit and now breasts are a society wide fetish, which means female looking torsos are now porn no matter what and I'm just a gremlin angry at society, and imo the way to make this fair is by censoring male looking nip nops as well. Because I don't think we can, on this particular site, trust everyone to respect nudity as a neutral thing, so all nudity should be censored. I'm sorry I ended up not making sense after all. I'm gonna go nap, I hope someone is able to decipher whatever this dumpster fire of mine is.

@Cunning Linguist First of all thank you! :)
And regarding archiving: the only thing we can do sadly is manually lock them. The problem is there's so many it's a very daunting task. Currently we lock such threads as people post in them. There's no archive function in the game unfortunately. Of course we don't blame people for posting in old threads precisely 'cuz it's likely they just didn't check the date. That's why unless someone really goes out of their way to necro like 50 old threads or something extreme, we'd only delete & lock. 

@Alien We'll discuss your dilemma with the PB and try to come up with a decent answer asap.

No. If you don't want to see new posts there lock them before new posts appear. Deleting someone's post because the thread wasn't active for whatever reason for a year or more is just off, even if stated previously as a rule. Some of all threads have potential to be active again. If you don't want them active just lock them. Anyway, you already know that reading forum rules, shop FAQ and other rules is not the first thing new players do. They see there is a forum and go there to post something. You can't blame them if dug up something outdated. It gets more complicated for states forum sections where people post less frequently than in general threads so it's not hard to come across old threads even if you don't search for them.

I found this thread just today so apologize if these inputs are sufficient:
1. Double-posting - it's usually clear when someone does that for the sake of getting badge or improving stats. Sometimes, on the other hand, double-posting comes as very natural thing to do. If there is time distance between two posts, if posts quote different posts and reply accordingly, if someone wants to point to 2 unrelated issues and similar.
2. RP threads - having them officially makes no excuse for roleplaying in other threads. Who doesn't want to witness roleplaying plain and simple don't read these threads. Sexual RP can move to external chats for those who are badly interested in it.
3. Extremely annoying thing is quoting, double-quoting, triple-quoting, x-time-quoting already long posts for replies. Even worse if reply refers to only one part of the post. Even more annoying if quoted post includes bigger pics or gifs. X-time-quoting posts which include only pic or gif is wasting and polluting forum space. Often such re-quoting posts take a few pages and make navigating through the thread very exhausting and boring even for desktop users. I can't even imagine how it looks like for mobile device users. The poster who is quoted doesn't get notification anyway, it makes whole operation even more pointless. Referring to the poster by the name and replying to their post seems like pretty enough. Or, if quoting is necessary because of time distance or in order to make a clear point, deleting pics or extra text seems as reasonable option.

LillyAnn,
locking hundreds and thousands of threads preemptively is not only tedious, it's impractical and annoying for the authors of all those threads. Every lockdown results in a message being sent to the author and it's just... no. Deleting a post and locking the thread is far more prudent and efficient. Perhaps someone else will offer a compromise.

Your points 1 and 2 have already been addressed in the revised rules (I think they're on page 7). Your point 3 is a valid concern though and I noticed it too. What do you all think would be a good solution? Some kind of rule saying to only quote one post and delete the nested quotes within it if it already contained quotes? After all, you're replying to the post, not the post they replied to - in that case you'd be quoting the same post as they did.


@Alien, we are officially announcing that (pictures of) nipples of all shapes and sizes are going to be allowed and free in Bimboland :) (Pictures of) Genitalia aren't though, obviously.

Considering that many bimbos have looks heavily featuring nips out, it would be silly to ban all nips. tiddies out for all!

except in the case of posting porn, but the ‘no porn’ rule already covers that. Im really glad the FGs understand that nips arent inherently pornographic :)

Yup and to make it more visible I will reiterate. We will free the nipple. It will be abundantly clear in the "revised revised" rules :) 

Before we wrap up (it feels like we covered most things), I'd just like some more quick input on the anti-necroing rule and the single-quoting rule.

What do those mean? Like what is the anti necroing rule, and did you reach any kind of conclusion about the quoting?

Quoting too long messages seems like a subcategory of spam.
