  • I’ve grown to become a fan of the separated inbox and mod reports on the default UI - i can have a few unread PMs at any one time, so if they are under the same menu, a way of differentiating i have one or the other (orange circle AND a pink circle to indicate having both?) would be really useful.

    A seperate mod-only viewable reports menu option would probably be my preferred way… also a way of hiding/toggling completed reports :) I have quite a few…





  • Hey, this will be because the VPN connection you’re using is coming from somewhere that gets caught up in our ASN blocks (we use these to protect us from scrapers/attacks). This is probably because the VPN provider/server has been used to attack us previously.

    I assume if you try without a VPN you don’t get this issue?

    Hey, so i banned it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was mainly unmoderated and was causing a lot of mod reports we had to resolve under various spam and wrong community reports. There was sometimes a fair bit of porn it was reposting iirc too, which causes a fair few issues especially if it was reposting copyrighted material.

    Secondly, it was taking up a lot of space. It had something like 1.5 million posts at the time I banned it. It was causing the user page to fail to load for admins because of just how big the search queries were becoming in the database. It wasn’t manageable anymore.

    Thirdly it was only very infrequently upvoted/interacted with locally, to the point it went weeks without interaction where we stored tens of thousands of posts and subsequent thumbnails for no apparent reason.

    We don’t have unlimited budget and storage is our biggest risk factor to cost, so ultimately we have to be pragmatic about hosting that content. We don’t have the budget of some of the larger servers unfortunately.

    Hope that helps 😊
