css in your bot's long description
@rustic needle but how to use css as that button is by default and i don't have it's class?

warm stream
#

You need to use inspect element in your browser to find IDs/class names of different elements on the site. But anyway this is more a #development thing

normal rose
#

ok

#

Thanks 😄

#

I already watched over 10 different ads none of them had a skip button...

#

AAAA 1 of them had a skip button now, but it just made me watch another one

wispy dagger
#

sturdy swan
#

hello

#

i have problem with vote

wispy dagger
#

sadly :/ even before yesterday i could vote on all my favorite bots in 30 seconds, now its arrount 2 minutes per vote, ill just basically vote on the other pages they use nvm

meager garnet
#

Yeah just go fill another one, it won't hurt to make user's complaints heard in the real number

#

How could you vote in 30 sec when i vote for tatsu it won't allow me for another 12hrs @wispy dagger

wispy dagger
#

i mean i vote in all my fav bots in 30 seconds, just open all pages with a folder, then click vote close, click vote close, click vote close etc

meager garnet
#

And they all go through ?

#

Wow

#

Genius

wispy dagger
#

yes it was super fast before to do it

#

now nvm xd its taking 3 minutes already for one of the bots for the ads to end

#

im stopped here stuck watching dragon ball trailer now lol

arctic whale
#

Yeah just go fill another one, it won't hurt to make user's complaints heard in the real number
@meager garnet no. Comment on the alreafy created issues

#

Don't create duplicate issues

finite pendant
#

so the ads looping is a known issue then?

arctic whale
#

Err... you could say so

solemn frost
#

.

finite pendant
#

bc my users are having big trouble all of the sudden

meager garnet
#

Yeah so they can shrug it off as "ah we got just a few complaints its ok"

#

That's what always happens

finite pendant
#

no, duplicate issues just slows stuff down

sturdy swan
#

I mean it stops voting completely lol

finite pendant
#

if an issue stops voting they lose what makes their site valuble

#

doubt they'll leavei t

arctic whale
#

...? I said comment on the already existing issues and don't clog up the issue list

wispy dagger
meager garnet
#

Comment doesn't create an error ticket

wispy dagger
#

just here for 5 minutes already on this bot

finite pendant
#

so if i get this straight, you guys launched ads that keep people from voting at the same time you guys launched auctions, and require them to disable adblocker

sullen valley
#

when i use the API from the browser it lets me use it but when i use it from my code it returns {'error': 'Unauthorized'}
so i read that Authentication is performed with the Authorization HTTP header in the format Authorization: TOKEN but i am not sure how to use it

arctic whale
#

You mean 6 created issues isn't enough and we need more?

meager garnet
#

@finite pendant many people can vote, many can't. But regardless, they'll gets the cash after each ads so it has a good benefit for them in any case

arctic whale
#

so if i get this straight, you guys launched ads that keep people from voting at the same time you guys launched auctions, and require them to disable adblocker
@finite pendant auction system was a thing for a while. The new changes regarding voting were implemented a few hours ago

finite pendant
#

auction just launched officially i mean

meager garnet
#

That issue dosnt cover all issue with the voting. Some ads are looping. Some ppl cant even see the ads. They are different type of issues

arctic whale
#

Eh I can't load the Medium blog page so I guess

finite pendant
#

what was the motivation for these voting changes?

meager garnet
#

Cash

finite pendant
#

dont you guys already run ads next to every page?

coarse chasm
#

VPNs have potential to make ads not appear at all. They're using Nitroads which is location based, and if Nitroads detects a vpn it simply won't load an ad.

arctic whale
#

To give users credits to be able to get on the auction spots

finite pendant
#

credits are given based on the amount of ads watched?

meager garnet
#

Many ppl dont have the luxury to use pc. Many ppl only have their phone. With one kind of browser

arctic whale
#

Actually, from what I understand and saw in this server, votes generate credits, which then can be used on auction spots. As for why this change with ads on votes was implemented, I'm not aware and would like to know, too.

coarse chasm
#

I don't think adding ads was necessarily a bad idea. But not testing the changes before publicly publishing them then going to sleep kinda was tinyChiwa

dry night
finite pendant
#

yeah its nearly 4 AM and my users are pissed

arctic whale
#

Tell them that it will be fixed on top.gg side and probably post an announcement

meager garnet
finite pendant
#

i don't think votes giving credits is gonna do much but give the bigger bots more fodder than their wallets to control every auction. this feels like justification for running ads on votes. "they give credits so we have to make sure we're getting money out of votes"

arctic whale
#

catshrug we got kinda offtopic here

meager garnet
#

Tatsu votes does, that's the only reasons i care for the vote issue

you can't withdraw

fervent otter
#

why do i keep getting complaints of people getting stuck while trying to upvote

finite pendant
#

the rumor is that you'll be able to

#

"Try the following if the vids just keep replaying:
Try clearing cache and forcefully reloading the page (Try SHIFT+F5 on chrome or CTRL+SHIFT+R on firefox). Someone people in #support suggested this can fix the issue if the ads just keep playing/replaying.
If you're on mobile just Google how to clear cookies for your current browser on mobile. This generally fixes the issue."

#

this is the only solution so far @fervent otter

fervent otter
#

you want me to say that to everyone trying to upvote?

finite pendant
#

yeah, that's what i did in my server

fervent otter
#

the ads are already bad, them not working properly is worse

ebon coral
#

why on earth is there a ad on the voting page

#

i cant even vote

#

ffs

#

what sort of update is this

sturdy pawn
#

there's no rational reason tbh

#

there's no "why"

finite pendant
#

it's a cash grab, but if they add a withdraw feature i'll gladly take my $15 a month

fervent otter
#

yes there is, more money

ebon coral
#

then why cant i vote

#

the video keeps replaying

finite pendant
#

Try the following if the vids just keep replaying:
Try clearing cache and forcefully reloading the page (Try SHIFT+F5 on chrome or CTRL+SHIFT+R on firefox). Someone people in #support suggested this can fix the issue if the ads just keep playing/replaying.

cobalt sleet

Clear browser cache and cookies and try again. Try skipping to the end of the ad after clearing cache and cookies. Worked for me.

this should be pinned until they fix it

cobalt sleet

@ebon coral you can still clear cache and cookies

sturdy pawn
#

i don't think video ads will offset the gains from the original auction monetization tbh, so imo the implementation is not rational as it is bad UX and will lose users (and probably won't even make as much money)

halcyon schooner
#

Can I apply for Auctions Access with a $0 budget monthly? Since of it's required apparently to get the credit from votes.

finite pendant

yes

#

at least im pretty sure

ebon coral
#

ok bruh

#

doesnt work

#

i reloaded the web like 4 times

fervent otter
#

and some people watched a lot in a loop

sturdy pawn
#

yeah the solution is to watch 20 to 30 ads, did you try that?

thorn owl
#

Whats this?? i can't even vote anymore

#

The add keeps playing

ebon coral
#

bruh

#

30 ads

finite pendant
#

all you can do is clear your cache

ebon coral

when is it gonna be fixed-

thorn owl

Scam wtf

ebon coral

i dont wanna watch 30 ads

thorn owl

I won't watch any ads

are any team members here? i feel like this should be addressed

tell them to clear their cache, thats the only solution rn

Or do CRTL+F5.

Can you provide a way for devs to opt out of unskippable ads as it does not make users or devs happy

vagrant wigeon
#

the issue with ads is known afaik

frigid ginkgo
#

and brings no advantage to our bots

bronze mantle
#

the ads when not broken last only 5 seconds even if the video is longer

finite pendant
#

adding an option to forfeit the % of profit in return for no ads sounds very fair

warm stream

#

even with working ads it is not a good user experience and makes people not wanting to vote and instead makes them unhappy and not wanting to do anything for our bot

Dam some yall never slept either huh

It's 5 seconds. You barely notice it. (Also like the mod said. Post feedback on their github repo)

Website admins recently announced new features and changes affecting the vote feature. The whole team is aware of voting issues impacting users, especially on mobile.

The following issues are known:

  • Ads aren't loading or aren't displayed
  • Ads aren't automatically skipped
  • Ads are entering in a loop and are playing forever

This is due to cache. You should be able to skip ads after 5 seconds. Please read #site-status for more information.

something unrelated to voting, is there a way to stop top.gg from logging you out? i’ve seen other sites kept you logged in for months.

cause i gotta put a 2fa code and it’s a long hassle every time. i’ve tried like 4 different browsers and they all log me out after a day.

tranquil yacht
#

That's due to constant updates done on the site, they clear session tokens to keep users safe or just for maintenances.

#

which is logging you off.

frosty field
#

ah

sturdy swan
#

Adding updates and all is nice, but will bug such as not always sending a POST message after a vote will finally get fixed?

Use our GitHub repo for feedbacks.

@tranquil yacht is it okay to do this?

#

no one replied yet

tranquil yacht
#

I don't see how this helps you to vote

sturdy swan
#

the ad thing will get skipped

#

unlimited ads issue

tranquil yacht
#

not really, probably because you already voted or watched it already for one time and the site allows you to vote automatically

#

SHIFT + F5 is only refreshing your page by clearing the local cache...

sturdy swan
#

cause while went to vote the ads never stopped

#

yeah i saw someone saying that helps

#

and someone saying it might be bad if u use it

tranquil yacht
#

It helps only if you are experiencing issues with ad loops I guess

sturdy swan
#

exactly

Which the team is working to fix

yeah it's fine to SHIFT + F5 if you are experiencing issues

This ads credit thing is stupid. It literally would only benefit bigger bots with more users and will barely help new bots off the ground like top.gg used to.

@crude zodiac only for the first time
@long ferry oh, and then every 1000 votes 1$ right? so if I get 200 Votes in a month then I only need 800 more votes to get the 1$

And it back to the old 1 minute ad

but tbh I don't like the ads in general, even if it wasn't waisting my time

I see, queued ads should be fixed asap

We're not in control of this

And complained about it already to the provider

now all we need is an opt out button

no it played the first 8 seconds of the ad

and then cut out

no I mean the ad not loading

limpid shadow
#

Oh that's normal

fading roost
#

Can i ask why you are forcing ads on people / making them disable AdBlock etc. to then turn out that the money from these ads are not given to the actual bot makers ? a credit system for them to spend in your shop ? .... this looks scummy honestly ... but maybe im wrong ?

mortal minnow
#

@fading roost every website costs money

#

and if they're not making money the site goes offline

#

2 minute videos just seemed like the right solution ig...

#

but yeah every website needs a way to make money

#

and they're not charging bot makers for posting their bots

limpid shadow
#

We help bots grow a lot, however we also need to grow as a company to keep up with the user base we attract. We know it's not the greatest way, but we intended to launch this with a way to completely be able to ignore it as a user too

tacit idol
#

'revenue sharing' is a disingenuous way of framing the system imo

limpid shadow
#

On return we give bots an opportunity to grow even more

mortal minnow
#

except for the fact

limpid shadow
#

I agree, and I've already mentioned that in general chat in the past

mortal minnow
#

that the search doesn't work

fading roost
#

so there is no option for a user to pay to not get these ads but we are forced to watch ads ?

mortal minnow
#

for new bots

limpid shadow
#

Not right now

hopefully it's fixed soon

i get that a website needs money i mean hosting is expensive as hell but your just forcing everyone trough these ads i can wrap my head around why anyone would do this and not give *** ANY *** alternative to the people .... online data is being sold and fucked over so much in this day of age .... people just wanna protect themselves ya know

for me I just watched an ad for 5 mins straight lmafo

#

still can’t vote after tho

if you're forced to watch an ad for longer than 5 seconds it's a bug

we're not trying to make anyone watch ads for 5 mins

mortal minnow

so 8 seconds is a bug right

Why is there mandatory ad for each vote in dbl ?
@pastel elk
This ad thing is ruining site and fun of voting pepecry

well they have to earn money somehow

#

Clearing cache seemed to work, it still showed the 2 minute ad but after skipping to the end of 3 of them it finally let me vote

solemn badger
#

to keep the website running so

quartz willow
#

8 seconds is the timeout for not being shown a skip button on the provider's end so yes

solemn badger
#

I understand the ads if it’s less than 15 secs

obtuse forum
#

they already had ads before

#

this is just too much

mortal minnow
#

8 seconds is the timeout for not being shown a skip button on the provider's end so yes
@quartz willow hmm ok, I've voted 5 times now, and each time no vote skip option shows up but it just cuts out after 8 seconds

#

ofc that could be because of tracking blockers

tacit idol
#

find it hard to believe that the amount of people using ad block just abruptly rose, so much so that they 'need' to do this

limpid shadow

That means you don't get ads

#

My browser has built in ad-block
It takes about 2 button presses to disable for a site

obtuse forum
#

regardless, this isn't necessary for any reason that i'm aware of

mortal minnow

$$$

#

I've been having the same problem

obtuse forum
#

don't they make enough?

mortal minnow
#

$$$

obtuse forum
#

they shouldn't screw over so many users just because they want to line their pockets

mortal minnow
#

I don't see how they would be making money besides ads

analog drum
#

I tryed to vote since yesterday and i turn off adblock cleaned cookies historie on the vote page but it keeps saying turn of adblock.. Already did ctrl + shift + r

tacit idol
#

just look in the #bids lol

mortal minnow
#

hmm yeah forgot about that

obtuse forum
#

they definitely make more than enough

mortal minnow
#

but

#

you can never have enough $$$

merry patio
#

they shouldn't screw over so many users just because they want to line their pockets
They are also screwing over bot devs, too

But there is a Github thread, so I digress

mortal minnow
#

at least from most companies perspectives

tacit idol
obtuse forum
#

yes but they can try so hard to make money that they make all of their users switch to another listing website

mortal minnow
#

yeah but they only have so many ad slots for bidders

#

they have to be making a lot of income

limpid shadow
#

@tacit idol that's a fake bid and the user already was banned for it

#

No need to spread misinformation

left coral
#

I'm mad because I can't vote anymore because there's like thousands of ads and they repeat

limpid shadow
obtuse forum
#

@tacit idol that's a fake bid and the user already was banned for it
@limpid shadow regardless, there are plenty of other legit bids that roll in the money, no?

tacit idol
#

they're still in the server and have a bot dev role?

limpid shadow
#

But none are that much

#

They got removed from auctions

obtuse forum
#

but you guys are in no position where you need money this badly, am i correct?

limpid shadow
#

It's not that we need it, we need it to grow our business

obtuse forum
#

ah yes, to grow your business

mortal minnow
#

The whole point of a company

#

is to grow it

limpid shadow
#

We want to hire more people and deliver bigger products

mortal minnow
#

@obtuse forum if you owned a company you would do the same thing

obtuse forum
#

at the expense of your users

mortal minnow
#

maybe not the same way

limpid shadow
#

🥺

tacit idol
#

the announcement was not framed in any such way that it was due to financial strain, it was framed as helping the bot creators by splitting revenue

obtuse forum
#

i'm sure if we knew how much money they made every day, no one would defend them

tacit idol
#

which is incredibly bad faith lol

obtuse forum
#

does this help bot creators in the slightest?

mortal minnow
#

The site itself helps bot creators

limpid shadow
#

Well yes, for the initial rewards we make a loss, jordy

obtuse forum
#

but adding more ads does not

tacit idol
#

the 'revenue' that is split is only usable in auctions for top.gg

obtuse forum
#

all this does is inconvenience users and discourage them from voting

tacit idol
#

^

limpid shadow
#

This is because of that exact reason though

pastel elk
#

The site itself helps bot creators
But ads are not helpful

limpid shadow
#

We don't have a team big enough to handle payouts

mortal minnow
#

the site needs money @pastel elk

obtuse forum
#

the site has money

finite pendant
#

Will there be a way to opt out?

limpid shadow
#

As a user, yes

merry patio
#

I'd rather remove the new system than get "auction rewards for users being forced to watch ads when voting"
Maybe I haven't yet. but I will eventually post my bot on this list, but this system is awful
Gonna post this on the GitHub thread.

vagrant birch
#

Can you get my bot Approved

obtuse forum
#

if these ads are to help bot developers, i sure hope there's an option to disable them for my bots

solemn badger
#

um maybe you can do vote & then voting a second time working 12 hrs requires a 30 secs ad or smth

sturdy swan
#

No

solemn badger
#

a lot of servers do giveaways to get people to vote so

#

they’ll watch the ad

vagrant birch
#

Well how do it get Approved and then

obtuse forum
#

you wait

solemn badger
#

but make it so it gives a second role so it can like filter the voters

mortal minnow
#

if these ads are to help bot developers, i sure hope there's an option to disable them for my bots
@obtuse forum you get mad at the site owners for doing this but then when it benefits you you don't care about the users?

vagrant birch
#

How long does it usually take

solemn badger
#

like kind of voters

summer smelt
#

its practically impossible for voters on phones to vote for bots, refreshing doesnt fix anything, and for people joining through the discord web viewer, its even harder. Is that gonna be fixed?

obtuse forum
#

what?

pastel elk
#

the site needs money @pastel elk
@mortal minnow
But make normal ads (like banner ads or other kinda ads which can be seen above or below vote button)
You can still add option of turn off ad blocker. But i hate this mandatory ad idea of yours

Why are you making mandatory ad with bugs...

limpid shadow
#

@solemn badger it's a 5 second ad now if you skip them

solemn badger
#

but

obtuse forum
#

@obtuse forum you get mad at the site owners for doing this but then when it benefits you you don't care about the users?
@mortal minnow did you even read what i said? you completely missed the point

solemn badger
#

it keeps bugging

marsh ruin
#

we use your site to find users for our bots
if you make ads users will stop voting and using top.gg

so what you have than is a better site (because of your new developers) but no users...
is that what you want?

tacit idol
#

he's saying that in the case this is to benefit devs, they should be able to opt out, obviously it isn't to benefit bot devs..... lol

solemn badger
#

let me try again

limpid shadow
#

And do that

mortal minnow
#

@mortal minnow did you even read what i said? you completely missed the point
@obtuse forum Sorry I misread that my bad

finite pendant
#

Is there any reason why this update was pushed out so suddenly? Even mods seemed surprised last night

vagrant birch
#

How long does it take for my bot to get approved so they can invited to the there servers

tacit idol
#

read pins bro

vagrant birch
#

Thanks

limpid shadow
#

@finite pendant we followed the same pattern for everything on this matter

scenic spoke
#

host all the ads you want on my bots page, but do not force my users to watch a 5 second advert just to click "vote"

obtuse forum
#

^

mortal minnow
#

I have to agree with that

finite pendant
#

Yeah

marsh ruin
#

yeah nobody will watch it

summer smelt
#

i hope theres a way for devs to disable ads on their voting page

mortal minnow
#

putting forced videos on voting only hurts bot devs

runic holly
#

If I’m gonna be honest, it’s up to the owners to add whatever

scenic spoke
#

i don’t care if you have static ads or not, but you’re now forcing my user base to watch an advert just so you can generate extra income

finite pendant
#

Or at least let us forfeits the % and not fun ads

scenic spoke
#

if topgg couldn’t get more fucking money hungry

runic holly
#

But if testing is neglected this is what happens

tacit idol
#

clearly it's up to the owners, no one disagrees with that lol

obtuse forum
#

i have no real loyalty to top.gg, and UX is one of my primary concerns when it has to do with my bots, i will not hesitate to switch if it gets any worse; i'm sure many bot developers feel the same

pastel elk
#

i don’t care if you have static ads or not, but you’re now forcing my user base to watch an advert just so you can generate extra income

Yeah ,it's really annoying

runic holly
#

I’m a shit programmer but I think a large team should be able to understand what they’re adding does, now my users are complaining because we have a streak system for voting

mortal minnow
#

i have no real loyalty to top.gg, and UX is one of my primary concerns when it has to do with my bots, i will not hesitate to switch if it gets any worse; i'm sure many bot developers feel the same
tbh if this gets worse, yeah. I'm really hoping they works some of this out

scenic spoke
#

definitely removing topgg as a voting option after hundreds of complaints from users about being forced to watch an advert to vote for my bot

summer smelt
#

its also literally impossible to vote on mobile as of rn 😐

limpid shadow
summer smelt
#

reloading does jack shit bro

mortal minnow
#

making users watch ads for voting only hurts bot devs. Put ads on the bot page, don't stop users from voting please

scenic spoke
#

can confirm

limpid shadow
#

Not reloading

solemn badger
#

@limpid shadow do I refresh/clear it all or just the last hour

limpid shadow

Citaat cache

@mortal minnow facts

limpid shadow

Clear*

summer smelt
#

every single mf thing on that list i did and nothing changes

marsh ruin
#

@summer smelt #site-status
@limpid shadow
so you think our users will come here and look how they can watch your ad the right way????!

summer smelt
#

you still cant skip the damn 3 minute ads, and then 4 or 5 more pop up right after it

limpid shadow
#

It's only for people who were affected in the initial issues blue

scenic spoke
#

users are trying to support the developers, but they get put off when they see an advert. it’s like going to a fancy restaurant to eat something and then seeing someone throw up - you won’t want to eat the food anymore

mortal minnow
#

I think the ad system is having problems, it will be more clear how to "watch the right way" once they fix (or remove) these ads

obtuse forum
#

even after the ads are fixed

limpid shadow
#

These issues on the ads are fixed already

solemn badger
analog drum
#

No they arent.

mortal minnow
#

mobile users say they can't vote?

scenic spoke
#

the issues on the ads are that they exist

obtuse forum
#

fundamentally harmful to everyone except the top.gg devs

analog drum
#

Still getting problems

summer smelt
#

clearly not if we’re STILL having issues on mobile

scenic spoke
#

literally just tried to vote on mobile, wouldn’t load

mortal minnow
#

plus it's kinda hard to clear cache on mobile iirc

marsh ruin
#

It's only for people who were affected in the initial issues blue
yeah but most people who had this issue are not on this server i think

solemn badger
#

I tried pc and mobile

Have to give this comment credit. hahaha

limpid shadow
#

Just clear your cache

blazing glacier
#

@limpid shadow do i need to write a paragraph again?

limpid shadow
#

No

solemn badger
#

It keeps making me watch the ad over and over

blazing glacier
#

hoh okay

tacit idol
#

yes we have hundreds of complains in our support channels for issues we can't fix

solemn badger
tacit idol
#

it's lovely

blazing glacier
#

It keeps making me watch the ad over and over
@solemn badger clear your cache

#

smh

scenic spoke
#

topgg, the most money hungry bot list now force your users to watch an advert to vote for your bot!

solemn badger
#

I did but only the last hour

blazing glacier
#

bruh

solemn badger
#

I asked if I had do to all but no one answered

limpid shadow
#

Make sure to do for entirety

blazing glacier
#

clear your cache

rich venture
#

yeah but most people who had this issue are not on this server i think
Can vouch, I have seen many comments, and several tickets raised on servers I provide services for complaining about the advertisement, and unable to skip/watch. None of which would be in this guild 😦
