vocal shard
they should rename it to "click for a free perma ban"
glossy wharf
Whenever i press it now its just "There are currently no moderators available"
twin jacinth
You can't really expect it either tbh with such a large player base compared to the staff
should just have removed it once the boom happened
vocal shard
Yes well.. to be fair if i was a mod for them i'd be invisible 98% of the time too.
ruby burrow
It'd be far more useful to change it to a "Save logs and record last 30 seconds button".
floral aspen
I mean, it's not wrong. With 5000-6000 players online at any time and only a handful of mods it's really a losing battle
ruby burrow
Perhaps have it send them automatically with the ability to specify a player that's being reported.
glossy wharf
Yea but
The button never even works
Regardless of playerbase if it says "There arent any mods available"
That means no ones even on at all
Or not on duty
floral aspen
How do you know it means that? Maybe they're just busy
vocal shard
If the button forwarded a recent log and it got stored on a database for reports.. it would be easier to shift through who did what and when, but again that requires moderation.
glossy wharf
Well in the 12 months of pressing it it always said that
ruby burrow
That's what I'd assume it to mean, though the wording of the message would be technically incorrect if so.
ruby burrow
Would be better to say, "All mods are currently busy" if so.
floral aspen
There mod team is probably busy sifting through the moderation reports that come through the email
ruby burrow
Probably.
floral aspen
since those actually have logs
glossy wharf
Ye but you should have two different teams for that
You need active moderation aswell
floral aspen
yeah, you should have two different teams for that, but they don't have enough people for that to be feasible
ruby burrow
I can't think of any way that active moderation can be feasible though.
vocal shard
I remember you Tidus.. i met you absolutely ages ago back in the day when Kneasox was an active yah know before he/she was banned. lol
floral aspen
lol yeah I vaguely remember your name as well Omega
vocal shard
Well its hard to forget an accent like mine.. british cockney through and through lol
ruby burrow
Active moderation is far far too expensive for the capacity of moderation it can actually provide.
glossy wharf
Then remove the button ingame and dont get peoples hopes up
ruby burrow
Not without some better way to actually focus their time and attention at least.
glossy wharf
Or change it so it links to the report submission page
And then put full focus on that
vocal shard
I remember because i saw you as Tidus i believe.. and then i saw a Rikku too all in the same pub 😛
ruby burrow
Well that much I've already agreed with yes. The button as is, is misleading and dysfunctional.
I frequently meet people who have no idea at all how to report.
glossy wharf
Thats cuz anime is illegal
vocal shard
My theory is the button is Dysfunctional because so is the community.
ruby burrow
I'll mention reporting people myself, and others will comment, "I try but the button does nothing." Not even understanding how I meant it.
floral aspen
"they have the funds"
they have to pay the devs
they have to actually make the game
they have to pay for server costs and maintenance
and they have to make it last until the game is finished. In the grand scheme of things when it comes to game development, 4 million dollars isn't just a ton of money
@vocal shard yeah my name is Tidus in game as well
ivory zealot
I've tried that button Several times. Not once has a moderator ever showed up
raw lagoon
what button ?
vocal shard
@floral aspen Preety sure i have you added in game.. back then i wasnt creating content.. 9 months after that i created Funland and then moved over to created HL1 map.. and now im building a new theme park.
ruby burrow
And yeah, paying a wage for enough mods to be able to effectively cover every instance in this game, just doesn't really work.
vocal shard
Well.. its actually a rollercoaster world based on Rollercoaster tycoon i believe that's my next thing anyways.
ruby burrow
Maybe if they implemented some kind of multiple user report system, working invisibly a bit like a "vote for moderator" function, it could be somewhat viable to pay for.
floral aspen
@vocal shard is your name in game just "Omega"?
ruby burrow
But that would still require the moderator to load in, and just hang around observing to determine if action was required.
vocal shard
@floral aspen Yep before.. back in the day i was something else.. but the name escapes me honestly.. but i met you back then under Omega_VR i believe.. or something like that.
floral aspen
Yeah I'm pretty sure I remember you! And your funland map is great btw
vocal shard
Haha thanks mate 😃 well its nice to please i've had alot of streamers in there.. nice to see people love it so much.. took me 6 months to create
floral aspen
Wow, that sounds like it was quite the project
vocal shard
Yeah, preety much.. but i had a goal set in life.. im a solo indie developer and i taught myself unity.. and then i started teaching others in here in the end, but overall i've recently come back and so ive decided to make something new.. and something possibly better.. although thats a long shot really considering how long the previous took lol
floral aspen
That's awesome! Glad to hear your back. I'm looking forward to whatever it is you decide to make!
If we aren't already friends in game shoot me a friend request!
vocal shard
Well, i can promise you that it will make your head spin.. i seem to be good at that.
tall storm
Please say it's not shaders for spinning
I'm still recovering
vocal shard
I dont use shaders on funland, and im likely to not use them on my new rollercoaster world either.
warped pasture
This game sure has changed alot from the 3 months ive been unable to play. 
vocal shard
Thrill comes from interaction not shaders.. lol
floral aspen

indigo fern
That world made me fall over, probably shouldn't have stood anyway, but y'know
Great experience regardless 
vocal shard
Well.. i had to test all those rides hundreds of times and standing up and sitting down so feel for me.. in the end i had literally no feeling attached to the rides motion sickness no longer exists for me ^^
vocal shard
I've been called that many times through my life.
floral aspen
Once you spend enough time in VR motion sickness doesn't really affect you anymore for the most part. At least it doesn't for me
indigo fern
But the dedication 👌
vocal shard
@warped pasture why were you unable to play ?
Yeah well.. i have nothing else to do and i'd rather create for this community or any community just to feel like i have a place in the world
preety bored unless im creating.
@floral aspen Oh and i will add you through discord mate.. been a long time since i've seen you.. thought all the oldies got banned or moved on, glad to see your still around 😄
warped pasture
Oh vrchat crippled my laptop because i was stupid to have my blanket infront of the fans so it wouldnt charge anymore afterwards and its been in a constant loop of fixing ever since @vocal shard
floral aspen
Yeah, it's sad to see a lot of OG's move on but a lot of us are still here too!
vocal shard
Yeah well, people leave and come back and then leave and come back in a never ending cycle of destruction.. still its nice to see people from long ago.. i doubt kneasox will ever return.. but still thats life lol
I could of said "That's "Spira" to you though.. the never ending cycle of death as i believe the priest calls it. 😄
the fuck
i wanna play the game once again now
reee
FFX is legend.. shame the HD version is absolute crap though.. upscaled textures.. what a joke.. you can do so with pcsx2 easily enough.
you have cheat menu tho 
Anything is possible to inject code into though.. i'm not limited on a console either.. thats half the trouble.. to play it normally or ruin it..
It's hard to play games when you cheat, you go back.. and they arent the same again.
floral aspen
yeah, not a fan of some of the new models in FFX/X-2 Remaster. A lot of them look like plastic dolls
the faces are all wrong
vocal shard
Yeah they went abit over the top.. Yuna looked beautiful as she was..
floral aspen
Well, I heard the reason for that is they actually lost the original source code for FFX so they basically had to re-do it from scratch
vocal shard
Actually X-2 kinda destroyed Yuna.. from sweet and innocent to a whore..
How the hell do you lose a source code to a serious money earner such as that.. that's insane
floral aspen
idk, it kinda makes sense. I've heard of women from cults and super oppressive religions like mormons or Amish going out into the world and just going crazy because they no longer have to worry about the rules and limits placed on them. Kinda what happened to Yuna I guess
vocal shard
Hmm in retrospect i can see what you mean.. but i think its kinda like that innocent died as they grew her into an adult.. though acted more like a teenager.. i dunno X-2 was really odd to say the least..
floral aspen
I mean, she still is a teenager in X-2
vocal shard
Dam.. that says alot about my character lol
floral aspen
teenagers do stupid stuff, and Yuna had Rikku and Paine to enable her
vocal shard
Well X-2 was overly girly..i mean yeah three girls.. but still it was really over the top lol "Dress spheres" come on really?
floral aspen
I still prefer X's conditional turn based combat system, but I like what dress sphere's added to combat in X-2
vocal shard
rikku is a slut, idc what other people say
nobody dress like that without being a slut
I like rikku because she's that way.. shes a lil minx
floral aspen
She's only 14. Probably going through her rebellious phase
vocal shard
never said it was bad tho
craggy delta
Hey guys!
vocal shard
14 is kinda "chill" in the game in term of outfit
Rikku does definetly not look 14 lol
but in ff x-2
oh boy
craggy delta
Can somebody please help me?
vocal shard
depend for what
floral aspen
wait, I'm thinking of X. In X-2 she's 16
craggy delta
If I want to upload a model, I can't name it.
vocal shard
Oh good.. well i covered my bases then because im in the uk so its legal to say..
lmao
ruby burrow
The phrase "horny 14 yearolds" does exist for a reason after all, and it doesn't just apply to guys using the internet.
vocal shard
she is 18 in ffx-2 but look so much older
I dont know any of your ages in here so i really cant add to that.. but im probably the oldest here. lol
and so much sluttier
@craggy delta what do you mean you can't name it ?
you can't click the box to name it ?
craggy delta
Yes
vocal shard
is the scene paused ?
craggy delta
Well, yes
craggy delta
What do you mean by paused?
vocal shard
you have a play button and a èause button at the top
Never make changes to a paused scene unless you like unpausing and it reverting back to what it was.. lol.
the pause button shouldnt be activated
ruby burrow
People are also very prone to underestimating what teenagers look like. There's some kind of strange mental block that rewrites their memory.
vocal shard
It's not a mental block.. its because teenagers of that age tend to doll theirselves up to look like adults.. as well as to go party's to get pissed out their heads.. and the result is usually bad.
craggy delta
@vocal shard Thanks!
floral aspen
genetics are a helluva thing. I'm 25 and still look like I belong in Jr. High. And then I know some kids that look way older than me
vocal shard
It depends on what country your from..
How old would you say i look Tidus?
45
That picture is recent as of yesterday.
married
2 kids
Not quite.. lol
floral aspen
mid 30's
vocal shard
I'm 35 and single 😃
how do you clear catch with vrchat if you have steam?
more seriously, around 33-36
I'm not marriage material.
@vocal shard same way
floral aspen
not with that attitude your not
floral flaxBOT
You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from output_log.txt and config.json if you have them
vocal shard
Nah tidus i was married to an american girl once it turned into a sham so here i am now.
lol
floral aspen
big oof
vocal shard
Yeah i lived in WA state for two years.. was good over there just me and her never got on
there is no app data folder under username folder on this rig
i searched everywhere
tall storm
Type %appdata% in your address bar of explorer (not internet...but you could?)
vocal shard
now i found that but not localLow folder in the %appdata% folder lol
oh i guess it went to another folder had to click on appdata...
tall storm
It takes you to roaming, go up one.
Since windows 7 you should have local, locallow, roaming
vocal shard
yes it took me to roaming instead so I went to appdata again I found the rest now ty
windows 10 but this rig is weird
deleted everthing execpt for output_log .... hope this works wish me luck
... urhg still orange... oh well guess I'll wait till they fix it with an update... that didn't work
ruby burrow
It's fine to delete output log unless you need it at that moment. That file deletes and recreates itself every time you start the game anyway.
vocal shard
orange ?
what ?
ok well I could delete that to and see what happens if not I have to find where logs are and send that to support email....
vocal shard
my avatar is orange and translucent like when you first login your avatar is blue or teal/aqua.... mine does that then it turns orange and stays like that
what the fuck
gimme screenshot
ok
tall storm
That sounds so metal
vocal shard
i sent the screenshot
tall storm
Did you happen to have anything attached to legacy unity methods? Those were removed from avatars uploaded after September first
vocal shard
here is the screen
also this is not orange
but red
it's the red broken avatars
i don't do my own avatar and as far as I know I don't
usually happen when the server scuff when you upload or somethig is broken on your model
to me it looks like a pumpkin and that is orange but ok
ivory folio
It also happens when you try to switch to a stolen avatar 
vocal shard
their must be something broken with one of the avatar worlds then cause thats where I got mine from
oh that is bad
well how am i to know 
ugh
tall storm
Basically the avatar that you want doesn't exist in a nasty way. Did you try switching to one next to the mirror there?
vocal shard
why always something broken....with me
tall storm
Someone probably removed the avatar, either by admin team or their own will.
vocal shard
yes I tryed to switch to one next to the mirror
so far its still "red" after clicking the avatars next to mirror
tall storm
Those ones are stock with the game ...
vocal shard
i could try on my quick thing with the avatar button
tall storm
Try verifying the files if steam, worst case try a reinstall
Something isn't plugged in
vocal shard
yeah I figured
ill verify with steam or reinstall... this is dumb
oh yay it switched to game avatar now! no more red/orange blob ty flying box
tall storm
vocal shard
yay

Is someone having troubles to log-in and play the game?
short mortar
No, I'm using a VRChat account
short mortar
I have the log-in interface and then a short sound like "bum"
The error is "Your connetion to VRChat timed out"
Sometimes I can play like 1min but this error will show up
vocal shard
This means your internet is botched or that the server isnt responding in the time window given
trail rapids
Sometimes weather effects WiFi. You can have little blips of missed packets that will send your ping flying. It's not noticeable when browsing the web if it's quick but VRchat will kick you if it keeps happening
but it could be a server-wide thing. I've had that error in the past and it was on VRchats end
I'll try to login and see if i have an issue
short mortar
Maybe weather but not where I live
trail rapids
yeah no issues here
pearl heron
Has anyone elses friend list been wiped out with the last update?
trail rapids
nope
maiden hound
no just you, maybe say it in #user-support-old
trail rapids
Have you played VRchat in the past?
if you played fine before and nothing has changed then its probabbly not the wifi
maiden hound
Have you tried on a different computer either?
To check wether it’s the computer or internet
short mortar
Tried already
maiden hound
Results?
short mortar
Same
trail rapids
sounds like a network thing then
maiden hound
Yeah
trail rapids
have you played VRchat before without issues?
short mortar
Yeah yesterday
trail rapids
damn, that's odd then
short mortar
I tried 4G too but nothing
versed cape
Do a ping test in cmd
maiden hound
Maybe wait a day or so. Or maybe if you can try on someone else’s network
trail rapids
yeah press windows key type CMD and type ping google.com
tell us if you have any under "lost"
vocal shard
@vocal shard i'm a lassie but no im not mad exept for being a woman...
most are quite mad

That sucks guy
vocal shard
what if your somewhere else?
trail rapids
I mean it's good you have no losses.. but bad because I do not know how to diagnose your problem from all this information
vocal shard
just curious
versed cape
Could be hitting a bad node somewhere
maiden hound
It could be the type of network you have, maybe try other games like vrc and see if that works?
trail rapids
The thing is he played just fine yesterday
and has no packet loss, which suggests its not the network
maiden hound
Yeah that’s why it’s weird
trail rapids
but has the same problem on multiple computers which suggest it IS the network
versed cape
If there's servers down somewhere along your route to vrc servers it will affect your connection
trail rapids
but has the same issue connecting to 4G also suggesting it's NOT the network
maiden hound
I honestly don’t know either, because he had tried on other computers too
trail rapids
so all I can say is W T F?
maiden hound
Try uninstalling maybe
trail rapids
integrity check or re-install is all that's really left.. or trying a new account but those are pretty amateur suggestions that rarely produce results
maiden hound
Yeah or try in a couple days
versed cape
Try running a trace route to the vrc servers
trail rapids
We shall have a grave in VRChat for @short mortar and mourne him
maiden hound
Damn, have you tried on a different account Mario?
short mortar
Oh yeah my Steam account
versed cape
Works on ethernet fine?
neat storm
Whsts this about ddosing players going around?
short mortar
False joy actually does not work in Ethernet lol
trail rapids
XD
maiden hound
Alright we’ll just wait for tomorrow or in a few days, it’s really the only thing you can do right now
trail rapids
I mean if you're having the same issues connecting with a 4G signal thats really really odd
where are VRchat servers located?
do you live outside of USA?
short mortar
Yes
maiden hound
I live in canada and it works
short mortar
I live in France
trail rapids
I wonder if UK is having connection issues
short mortar
Omg MY STEAM ACCOUNT IS WORKING????
maiden hound
Damn I knew using another account would work
versed cape
I had a connection issue with overwatch once and it only affected people in my area because there was a site that my signal went through on the way to blizzard servers that was down
short mortar
I will try change my password
trail rapids
Connection issues tied to an account o_________o wtf VRchat
maiden hound
Weird
versed cape
So if any of the hubs your signal hops through on the way to vrc servers has an issue it will cause you problems
maiden hound
That’s good, hopefully you don’t have any problems in the future
trail rapids
I have no idea, I am trying to make logical sense of it but I can't 😢
maiden hound
Yeah very weird
short mortar
It's like i'm speaking in french "i feel the bread"
maiden hound
Only real thing that would make sense is it’s the uk servers
Wait try on your vrc account now, if not then it might not be the uk servers @short mortar I
short mortar
I'm playing right now lol

Are you using something like OBS? I use the open VR input plugin to capture my game video while the game itself has my stream camera.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/openvr-input-plugin.534/
You could also use the built in Oculus mirror tool if you're on oculus or the steamvr mirror tool.

Yeah, what they said, the stream camera in vrc displays on your desktop
so you can capture the VR headset display and the desktop display

I recall one rumor that was IMO a mere tabloid rumor of a raid by a group of 4chan users.
Basically Bat Boy levels of tabloids.
fervent scroll
vocal shard
Don't know if they will actually fix the disabling of buttons in the menu
floral aspen
Most rumors about VRChat are just that. Rumors
I too remember the rumor about the 4chan raid. The raid never happened
thick escarp
How do these rumors get around? By word of mouth?
floral aspen
yup
thick escarp
Must've been spread by youths who can't understand the difference between a hoax and reality.
Once again. Bat Boy.
floral aspen
Users who have their own discord repeat it, and since people in those discord see the rumor coming from an admin or a mod, they think it's a trustworthy source and so they go and spread it
tidal aspen
guy says something to moderately sized discord server
suddenly every other sever pings everyone about it
thick escarp
I think it's stupid IMO.
How these rumors can be spread by a virus over discord servers.
opaque hawk
People tell lies. It happens, and the world is small
tacit plank
If hackers had mod powers, it would be abused on large scale, trust me, they don't
tidal aspen
after the recent update these HACKERS now have the ability to do the fortnite default dance in your harddrive, stay safe everyone
floral aspen
The worst they could ever do is send fake moderation messages and log you out of the game
thick escarp
If something like that were to respond how would the VRC team respond? Would they shut the servers down and go fix the exploit ASAP?
floral aspen
Hard to say
tacit plank
Well, they have some of their features, but they're in the base clients and just hidden from most users. That's just exploiting the client. On the server side of things, they have no power at all, they can't ban your account and things like that
floral aspen
Their response to exploits is hit and miss
tidal aspen
even if they did "ban" it's just client side and the ban isn't valid unless it comes from an actual mod/admin
floral aspen
^
thick escarp
Also, if these hackers were real and were banned I don't think it would be permanent for good. IPs change over time including you, me, kumquats, and bananas.
tacit plank
The fake bans in the past were not bans, but the abuse of a message system in the client
thick escarp
Exactly.
fervent scroll
ill never understand why people do it anyway
floral aspen
People love having power over other people, no matter how small
thick escarp
This shows that VRC is still in Early Access and will probably be for the next uhh... 1-3 years max before it becomes something similar to the Oasis in RPO.

Whats Oasis?

Then the same people went on about how I was a bad player
floral aspen
Oasis is the virtual world from Ready Player One
thick escarp
Something much more impressive than VRC right now. You could climb Mount Everest with Batman.

It's way in the future. By about a few decades but I never read the book or watched the movie... yet.
floral aspen
RPO's Oasis actually launched in 2025, so less than a decade from now

Woah. Must've cost a fortune to make Oasis.

Right now there are companies prototyping haptic feedback gloves that allow you to feel objects in the virtual world. And the treadmill Wade uses in the movie is an actual product in prototyping phase, you just can't run as fast as he did in the movie.
hearty wyvern
I'm stoked for foveated. Def gonna put cpus and cards at ease.
thick escarp
Who uses a treadmill while wearing a VR headset? Sounds like a real world hazard.
hearty wyvern
The wires hang above u
fervent scroll
yeah
hearty wyvern
Not on the floor homie
floral aspen
by 2025 I think we'll have wireless headsets
fervent scroll
also whats foreated?
thick escarp
Oh
ruby needle
we already have wireless headsets 
floral aspen
do you know how in your peripheral vision not everything is in focus like what's directly in front of you? Foveated rendering takes that concept and applies it to graphics rendering, so the amount of pixels your headset needs to render is drastically reduced
hearty wyvern
Maybe our PCs wont turn our rooms into saunas as quickly
fervent scroll
jesus
floral aspen
The thing is, foveated rendering will only be possible once our headsets have built in eye tracking
hushed isle
I'm still waiting for the real deal... A Full Dive System like in Sword Art Online
hearty wyvern
Oculus has that already in development right tidus?
floral aspen
yup
hearty wyvern
I think HTC is devving it too
floral aspen
dunno about HTC. They haven't shown any prototypes like Oculus has
floral aspen
a very dumbed down version of foveated rendering
hearty wyvern
I can't read shiz close up or further than like 8 feet
floral aspen
but it's an important first step
indigo fern
Eye tracking is surprisingly accurate too, that tobii eye tracker was interesting
hearty wyvern
I feel like if those two could be combined, youd get something really close to real life.
rigid crescent
" Foveated rendering" Whew, that phrase always gets me going
such a great concept
indigo fern
Gets you going? 👀
hearty wyvern
Foveated actually sounds like it theoretically needs variable focus
rigid crescent
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
hearty wyvern
Because of how lenses actually work.
floral aspen
it actually doesn't
hearty wyvern
Hmm
rigid crescent
I think it's what we need to get "real" AAA Games, until it's common we're probably just going to keep getting neat indie games
floral aspen
Foveated rendering just dynamically lowers the resolution of the display around your peripheral vision
rigid crescent
which there's nothing wrong with of course
floral aspen
well, not the display, but the resolution the game is rendered in
hearty wyvern
Variable focal move the displays further away or closer to your eye using eye tracking to alter the focus rightm
floral aspen
exactly
hearty wyvern
Hmm
floral aspen
a little different from foveated
indigo fern
Doing that wouldn't save performance
floral aspen
^
hushed isle
So you can read letters from close distance
hearty wyvern
I dont believe it is about performance but rather how the human eyes work
indigo fern
Foveated would though, since it's dynamically changing the resolution of the areas you aren't looking at
floral aspen
It would help with immersion though
hearty wyvern
Focusing more pixels in an area doesn't equal better focus
kindred sand
yummy a pink cutie pounder
hearty wyvern
Like how moving a camera lense works.... Idk. I think I need to read up on how the two things work more
Hi emu
Oops, emy
hushed isle
What does a varifocus and eyetracker when you roll your eyes around i wonder? 🤔
hearty wyvern
Probably just move the display around and focus the pixels more intensely all around
rigid crescent
probably follows your eyes lol

small wing
<@&397642795457970181> How should i go about reporting a world that has questionable content in it and is public? There are avatar pedestals in this world that have slit marks on the wrist and go against TOS from what i understand. Makes me really upset because its an avatar that pokes at suicide.
hushed isle
They pay shit for my work in my country

trim hamlet
@small wing Send a report with the world name/id to moderation@vrchat.com, and they'll take care of it~
small wing
@trim hamlet How do i get the ID if i didn't make the world?
tacit plank
It's just a good way to clear your head
trim hamlet
You don't need the ID, it just helps identify the specific world
Just send as much information as possible
tacit plank
Kind of like how adrenaline is a great way to wake up
lilac swan
You can get the world ID from the output log
hushed isle
Or you can turn around and walk away from it...
lilac swan
Also where those avatar pedestals are located would help too
umbral reef
Well then i dont get why you often say super odd things ...
vocal shard
Yea.. All wireless headsets will not work
small wing
@lilac swan I got a good screenshot of it when i left
tacit plank
I don't see the problem
vocal shard
Standalone headsets wont work unless vrc changes engines
tacit plank
What if a depressed person wants to use that avatar?
hearty wyvern
All that means is Vrchat has about 2 years to release their game and the make VRchat2
hushed isle
Oculus Go is wireless too
hearty wyvern
vocal shard
Standalone headsets wont work unless vrc changes engines
tacit plank
Or somebody who is cutting themselves made the avatar? They would be punished for referencing themselves then
median basalt
Yeah but it's against TOS
hushed isle
@hearty wyvern 2 years? Rift 2 comes out in 2021
median basalt
I can understand having an avatar like that yourself but you gotta be responsible with public content
vocal shard
@hushed isle no

Not really- Its also an way to have more odd rules writen down so you can point at them and say "Look, its written down"

hushed isle
@raven silo No it was around 24k
olive mulch
lmao go for 190k
tacit plank
Referencing self harm is against the ToS, but only because it says "you can't do anything which anyone else may find offensive or distateful in any form" which is obviously stupid
olive mulch
only the strong can survive
hushed isle
But the limit is 19.9k
tacit plank
Because then everything is against the ToS

I just know that technically, everything but using default avatars and permanently muting yourself is probably against the ToS in one way or another

You're kind of dumb. You can't trust users because they have 100 hours

You gotta be careful with that kind of stuff. Even people who have really good parts to their pc struggle with VRChat because it can be poorly optimized on top of avatars being over the poly limit, causing even more stress
