But profanity can be taken as many different things, for some people profanity only starts at like the F word or smth, for some people even crap is profanity

[fervent obsidian]

which is why it's usually down to staff interpetation

[violet plover]

Noice

[red garnet]

It's more down to bot interpretation. The bot has a blacklist of words, and honestly it's kind of a primitive automod system.

[fervent obsidian]

The staff are the ones putting words on the BL 🤷‍♂️

[autumn ibex]

why there are chinese and russian chat but no french pls ad one

[red garnet]

They need a moderator that knows the language

[misty blaze]

oui oui

[frank adder]

my man, the moderators didn't learn the same error. Tip: do not ping when there's over 50k memebers

[cloud acorn]

It'd be fine if they did a ping in an announcement channel or something IMO. Then one of the channels wouldn't get slammed.

[frank adder]

yeah, they should stick this at all time when pinging for announcements. It's way easier; that's the second time they made the mistake.

[left violet]

3rd, I believe. It's better for important things like that to stick to the announcement channels, because people here can be pretty immature as seen in modding discussion. Or even just have a message in the channel talking about it and pin said message. Just my opinion, though.

[spring tulip]

thanks for the feedback, really sorry for the inconvenience and trouble

[left violet]

It's not really your fault, just would've thought that after the last times y'all would've learned to not do an @ everyone or @ here ping in channels that aren't the announcement ones, as people stay about sane during those pings.

[serene bane]

Yupp yupp. The person in question who pinged everyone didn't know what would happen, we apologize for the inconvenience and avoid that in the future.

[glad widget]

revoke reactions on people who spam every reaction slot in #game-announcements/#community-announcements everytime...

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[glad widget]

there's a limited amount of reactions for each post but because one person spams 20 reactions to fill it up no one else can react except for the ones that have been forced by the one spammer... yeah so interactive, so community

[misty blaze]

Agreed
there are so many emojis here that were put there by one person

[misty blaze]

hey uh, request to unlock modding-discussion
the craziness probably passed

[serene bane]

We'll look into it

[earnest elbow]

Can we please have the automod in automation chat removed? It doesn’t fit really and it just makes it so much harder to discuss the game

[winter roost]

can we have a chat for everyone that speak Swedish? like we have one for russian and chinese

[spring tulip]

you might be the first person to suggest swedish since the server was made, we do need large interest and moderators that speak swedish available though so this might not happen any time soon unfortunately

[winter roost]

sad but hey i can English so i can still speak with people!

[simple scroll]

Remove 2 minute slowmode in #mods-discussion how are you meant to discuss its longer than #714429950765301791 slowmode

[spring tulip]

On behalf of the mod team, hope you all have a superb 2023 and get to do all that you want to do! Onwards to more great beam updates too

[north quiver]

this absolutely this. Having a chat dedicated to an entire game, then making it dedicated around screenshots is just....what

[wraith light]

Get rid of this Absolutely Stupid Slow Mode in the General Channels. this is Discord, we talk. it doesnt always take 20 seconds for someone to reply and then the other person to want to reply back, its stupid that we have to sit waiting. way to much is also auto moderated

[polar sentinel]

The 5-second slowmode?

[left violet]

The amount of issues this server has with behaviour is why there is slowmo. The moderators still have their own lives, they can't sit here and moderate 24/7. Also, most of the channels are literally 5-10 seconds. Get over yourself.

[polar sentinel]

Let's be nice here.

[left violet]

Wasn't trying to sound rude, apologies if I do. I'm just confused as to why people are over-dramatic about like 5-10 seconds, it isn't a massive bit of time to wait for.

[polar sentinel]

Yeah, like 5 seconds helps a lot with people who semi-spam messages (one short sentence per message), plus, it's hard to type an entire response in 5 seconds, so I think it's fine. Though, if it was 30 seconds just to be annoying, then yeah, I wouldn't like that either.

Oftentimes, we'll see many channels to 30 seconds or so around release to help control the hype, but we usually remember to revert them back to 5 seconds.

[left violet]

Honestly, some channels need said slowmo, like the feedback channels. They're for feedback, not conversation. Mod showcase is similar but discussions do usually happen there, but I do find the slowmo acceptable because it's also mainly made for showcasing content, not writing out your college essay or something. 5 and 10 seconds for discussion channels imo is fine, because like you said, typing an entire response in 5 seconds isn't a normal thing, if I made any sense there?

[polar sentinel]

Yup, that makes sense.

[wraith light]

its 10 Seconds, not 5

[polar sentinel]

Which channel?

[wraith light]

Perfect example there trying to reply to two people at once, i had to wait 10 seconds to send the second message. i have ran many large servers and currently run an 8000 member server, you are accomplishing nothing with 10 seconds on
holy sh we have like 40 second slowdown here.
its in #game-discussion-1 @polar sentinel

[left violet]

We have a long slowmo here because it's feedback, not discussion.

[polar sentinel]

Like they said-
Lol, yeah, stated it again.

[wraith light]

this channel literally isnt the point. i said general channels, such as #game-discussion-1

[left violet]

Mb, read your message wrong then.

[wraith light]

Make it 5 seconds like you said, 5 is still ridiculous it should be three at max if you got to have it but 10 is just stupid

[polar sentinel]

3 seconds isn't an option. And like multiple of us have stated, it's rare to type an entire, meaningful response within 5 seconds.

[wraith light]

I type fast

[left violet]

Not everyone does, 5 seconds is fine, lol.

[red garnet]

The problem is
People can still do this
It has the same effect
If people wanted to get around slowmode they could

[polar sentinel]

Yeah, but it's much less frequent.

[red garnet]

I mean
I can get why people send many messages in quick succession
It’s just the natural flow of conversation
You can’t say everything you’re thinking out loud at the same time, its just a way to get a similar thing in text

[polar sentinel]

I do too, but it makes it harder to moderate, especially when many people are typing. Regardless, it is what it is.

[red garnet]

Valid point, and I will stop doing that

[native turret]

Hello

How can i stop frezzing in beammp😭😭😭

[rotund nest]

Well first this is the #discord-server-feedback not #support and 2nd this is the beamng.drive discord not the mod Beammp's discord found here: https://discord.gg/beammp
You will get proper beammp support on their discord as it is a 3rd party modification.

[nova parcel]

there should be a section where they can put brochures they made for the cars

[light totem]

moderators banned my secondary account, I use it bc I can't log in in my phone so I can use discord from there but moderators really suck in this server

[jade terrace]

Alts are not allowed full stop for any reason, you can contact discord support regarding your account issues here: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us

[modest hare]

You’re basically violated rules 6 and 7 at the same time and saying that we suck. Also trying to fool people with your “innocence”. Think, maybe it’s not our but your problem?

[light totem]

that was another ban, I got two in a row

would you consider the word insult as an insult whenever I want to say an insult?

[jade terrace]

The bot cannot take context into account so we use a blanket ban and warn on profanity and other offensive terms, so no, you cannot.

[light totem]

I already got warned 2 times i dont think I can get another blanket ban, thanks for all the help

[neon heron]

Why on earth is the s word (the bad word for poop) moderated here? I mean, while it is a swear word I don't think anyone is offended by it. I got muted 2 times already, because I accidentally said it (one time I was reacting to a really broken looking car, calling it a s-box). Like I remember times, where even the Roblox chat filter didn't censor it.

[left violet]

Profanity falls under rule 1. So does the s word because it is a swear word.

[neon heron]

it just depends on where you draw the line, and you draw the line in the wrong place for a server where there are mostly older teenagers and adults

[zealous sphinx]

The thing is, this server has a lot of young users - young means of course 13 or above.

Also, we try to keep this server a friendly place, so that's why profanity is not allowed 🙂

[amber shard]

🥴

[sinful gate]

Who knows how to turn off slow mode?

Hmm

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[red garnet]

That’s something the people in charge have enabled for everyone
Oh he left the server lol

[red garnet]

That was too much snark for a new Discoed user to handle

[mental pecan]

oh?

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[remote kernel]

Maybe add like a channel for fictional car ads. Honestly they're rare but its nice to see them so yea

[cosmic bay]

I think it's somewhat stupid as well, but at least this server isnt like the official Forza server where you can't say "damn"
be happy for that i guess lmao

[neon heron]

now i definitely know which server ill never join lol

[native turret]

Suggestion: make channel for Beam Classifieds where we can make up scenarios for vehicles to “sell” to eachother

[red garnet]

There are many servers that revolve around this idea, and I wouldn't recommend joining any of them. So much toxicity

[native turret]

How so?

[red garnet]

May I DM to explain?

[native turret]

Sure

[golden garden]

[red garnet]

Would it be a good idea to merge #screenshots and #beamng-videos into some sort of game media channel, and change #livestream to some sort of general self promo channel? There are a lot of servers and stuff that are BeamNG based but can't get the exposure they could if that was a thing. Only so many people look at Reddit, and a surprising number of people who do don't have Discord. I think if that was done it would breathe some new life to an otherwise old channel.

[red garnet]

For the love of god please make commands like !clearcache slash commands so we can run them without slowmode

[merry garnet]

yo could u guys make a portuguese language chat?

[red garnet]

Eles precisam dum moderador que fala português
They need a moderator that speaks Portuguese

[merry garnet]

bem nao ha muita gente portuguesa no discord eu acho

well i dont think there are many people on discord who are portuguese

[red garnet]

São muitos mas não tem um moderador que fala. Também por favor edita a sua mensagem com uma tradução para a moderação.

There’s a lot of people who speak Portuguese but there’s not a moderator who does. Also, please edit your message with a translation for the moderators.

[inner hazel]

ur acting like a mod

[north quiver]

I will keep saying this until I get some kind of reaction from a moderator
Ditch the automod in #automation, its worthless and nobody listens to it nor likes it

[native turret]

Automation used to be screenshot only
Its not now, but its not a discussion channel
dont treat it as a discussion channel

[hard crest]

How do you submit a ban appeal for here?

[mental pecan]

email to [e-mail]

[hard crest]

How long does it normally take for ban appeals to be reviewed?

[serene bane]

1-6 weeks AFAIK, not sure tho. Takes as long as it does in the end, depending on work load etc.

[limber whale]

Can someone tell me what followers means on verified content applications? I don't have tik tok

Is it in relation to subscribers?

[modest hare]

Yea.

[limber whale]

I am applying for this role cause I am a youtuber with 373 subs can I still get the role with that amount of subscribers?

[serene bane]

I believe the amount of subs/followers needed and further requirements are listed on the website

[north quiver]

So when we want to discuss automation, what do we do? Why shouldn't we use the channel literally dedicated to the game

[limber whale]

Thank you Playtest

[chrome kraken]

For what thing is it for @limber whale

[limber whale]

My yt channel

Sitting at 373 subs

[sonic mason]

cool

[vagrant jolt]

How do you verify your YouTube channel to get a purple name?

[limber whale]

Go on there website and apply there

[hexed topaz]

need 1k follower I see, no ?

[serene bane]

No he got the purple name because he's server boosting

If he successfully applies his name will be yellow

[hexed topaz]

the content creator is purple, He will say pink for the boosting no ? xD

[vagrant jolt]

What is server boosting

[serene bane]

Mmm yeah my bad I misunderstood it with the creator program 😅

[red garnet]

Where you pay an absurd amount of money for your favorite server to unlock new features

[vagrant jolt]

Huh

[hexed topaz]

Not a problem, some time can call yellow orange, purple pink,... that's difficult sometime xD

[red garnet]

How many rep does someone need to be a contributor?

[limber whale]

I thought verified content creator role was purple

[serene bane]

Yeah it is, was my bad

[vagrant jolt]

Darker shade than you have

If you look at you name and then look at the content creators, they have a slightly darker shade

Slightly different

[hexed topaz]

We are all color blind xD

[vagrant jolt]

Lol

[zealous gust]

20 messages scince yesterday

[amber shard]

An option to have autoexposure would be neat

[spring tulip]

think you've got the wrong channel

[amber shard]

lmao yup, mbad

[cerulean frigate]

@limber whale what’s the truck mod, send in dm

[spring tulip]

Not the channel for this, use something related to the game and please be more polite when asking for stuff

[north quiver]

Still wanting an answer for this

[red garnet]

I applied for the content creator role about two months ago. They asked me to send my info, which I did, and I’ve gotten no reply. I’ve sent two emails since then, and don’t wanna bug them. If they choose not to give me the role, will they email me back, or is this kind of a sign of their decision to not?

[wraith light]

Get rid of this absolutely pointless 10 second slow down

[young orbit]

Why I can’t write in russian-language chat?

[serene wolf]

Did you not click in #roles ?

[young orbit]

No

Thank

[spring tulip]

can you mention which channel?
slowmodes are generally around 5s except feedback channels and if something abnormal happens

[red garnet]

#game-discussion-1 is 10, but #screenshots is even 5

Also I’ll ask this again:

[bleak hemlock]

i think a good thing for the discord is add more other languages channel like brazilian,portuguese,spanish or something like this

[left violet]

Issue with that is getting moderators who speak those languages.

[bleak hemlock]

oh

i didn't think about that

[wraith light]

Game discussion. It's absolutely stupid to have any slow mode, but especially 10 Seconds.

[native turret]

its to prevent users from doing those one sentence per line, or just going crazy and spouting a lot of stuff that fills the chat

#screenshots is not a channel for talking, hence the lower slowmode

[wraith light]

I don't care about screenshots. A 10-second slow mode let alone any slow mode in a general channel is extremely stupid

[wraith light]

If you have people flooding your chat then your moderators need to do something about it and fix the server. I don't have that problem in my servers.

[native turret]

This server has over 80 thousand people
People gunna do that

thats like going to a convention and being surprised its loud
A lot of people = loud, with some a lot more than others

[red garnet]

I'm not going to voice any opinion, but even the official Rocket League server doesn't.

[native turret]

and the forza one will ban you for saying any curse word whats your point lol

[wispy cargo]

Forza moment

[spring tulip]

slowmode in the most active channels won't change, it can and will be lowered to 5s but to prevent people typing one word sentences and making chats too hard to read for others, it's not only a moderation thing but user comfort too in such a big server

[hearty goblet]

SERVER COMMANDS

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[native turret]

Why, no I see it, I cant get it out of my head💀

[red garnet]

#714429950765301791 is such a mess… could it be made image only and then allow threads? That way people’s mods won’t be buried by pointless arguments.

[bold ice]

no

(please no)

[red garnet]

May I ask why not? Just curious

[bold ice]

imo the ability to have brief discussions about mods posted is far more important than hushing the occasional back-and-forth

[red garnet]

That’s why I suggested threads. Idk tho. A forum channel could also be implemented.

The back-and-forth isn’t the issue though. It’s the arguments that push the last photo sent like 6 scrolls up. It’s annoying to want to see what mods are new and instead having to scroll through banter.

[tulip owl]

Manually opening threads on those pics might get kinda annoying. Sooo... bot that automatically opens a thread on every posted image? 👀

[red garnet]

Again, forum channel in grid view would achieve a similar effect

[left violet]

#714429950765301791 message @red garnet This server will forever have arguments. Nothing done will stop them happening. Making stuff attachment only just moves said arguments somewhere else and just moves the problem or even causes more problems.

[red garnet]

Again, the arguments aren’t the problem. It’s the fact that they basically bury the entire channel. Imagine posting a picture of a mod you’ve put a lot of work into Judy to have it buried by some pointless argument.

[left violet]

That's just what happens. There's no way to properly stop that because you'll just get more complaints and arguments elsewhere, as well as other people trying to cheat the system like they do in memes.

[tulip owl]

In my experience it's not really a problem, even when a mod I post is buried 100 messages deep I still tend to get replies to it. If people care about new mods they can just read all messages

[red garnet]

True. Then again you make really good mods lol

[tulip owl]

🧢

[lean light]

I would like a discord forum for #714429950765301791 so we can do grid view and look easier

[solemn yoke]

Please add a scripting channel, I've never found #modding-general useful because I've only seen asset modders (vehicles, levels, etc..), never any scripters.

[red garnet]

Are you in Modding for Dummies? They have some very talented lua people there. I can DM you an invite if you’d like

[solemn yoke]

Sounds good, cheers

[vivid hazel]

Yall should and voice channels

[lost siren]

Beammps VC are already cancer

[vivid hazel]

Wdym?

[red garnet]

The VC’s in the BeamMP discord are bad enough

[north quiver]

Beep

[tulip owl]

how about... the discord server literally dedicated to the game
https://discord.gg/automationgame

[north quiver]

what if we really dont like a certain person there so we stay away from it. Or if we are banned for old stuff and still want to discuss the game. There are several reasons why people would use this server rather than the official automation server

[tulip owl]

i can understand that, but this server is for beamng. automation is a different game and has a different discord server, so i can see why the staff team here wants to keep automation discussions out of this server, even if you are still allowed to share your automation cars

[north quiver]

then why does it even have its own channel

[native turret]

Automation is for automation, beamng is for beamng. There is a channel for it here because of the connection plugin, but its just a 'modding tool' and not a core beamng thing.

[tulip owl]

because they are partnered games

[north quiver]

then why would you make a partnered game channel image only. Using #other-games and ditching the Automation channel altogether would be much better. THen we can actually talk about the game

[native turret]

Because Automation has their own discussion site, the only thing it does with beamng is let you drive the car. Thats as far as the connection on this side goes, showing the car in the game

[north quiver]

but then we cant talk about Automation in this server because the channel is for images

[native turret]

its a soft image only, because we had to make it hard after people kept talking and causing issues, but people calmed down and we pulled it to soft.

[native turret]

Yes, because Automation is not beamng, all you do with automation in beamng is look at it. Automation stuff is for automation or #other-games

you are free to discuss it in #other-games lol

[tulip owl]

and not to sound rude but, not liking certain people, or being banned, kinda just sounds like your own problem, not something the staff team here would have to solve

[north quiver]

but what is even the point of having them both be used to automation. Why not just have the one. It would declutter the server and would open up many doors

[native turret]

Because we did have one
and then we had to not have one because of how people handled it lol

[north quiver]

Beamcord ruining everyones fun for the umpteenth time

[red garnet]

Not Beamcord. It’s the people. If people had some level of respect it’d be very different

[north quiver]

The people make up beamcord

[pure pebble]

Someone please elaborate

[tulip owl]

Have you placed any weird reactions recently? :P

[pure pebble]

I reacted with "👎" to a meme

[tulip owl]

Well, it's just a warning, so if you didn't mean anything bad by that reaction that I wouldn't be too worried about it
Of course if you were intentionally spreading hate then... don't ;)

[hollow elk]

if you read #memes it's been blowing up because of that

[pure pebble]

Alright, thanks. A heated debate on this topic is ongoing in #memes Many others received the same warning

[tulip owl]

I see, seems like a lot of people are indeed intentionally spreading hate, so I'd say a warning or mute is fair then. But I'll stay out of that whole debate :P

[craggy oxide]

Why are your mods making snide comments when we was having discussion on computer hardware, sure we had disagreements but i remained civil.

[pure pebble]

Thanks for clearing things up! However, I still think a thumbs down is not hateful. One could argue so many highly interpretable warnings could be inciting. Thanks again, but now I have to go offline.

[spring tulip]

#tech-and-hardware ? do you mind pointing me at what comments you're referring to

[amber shard]

mod abuse ngl

There wasn't anything hateful

Only muted and warned a couple dozen people because they downvoted his sub par and weird meme

[wispy cargo]

power hungry

[mental pecan]

we are reviewing the situation internally

[amber shard]

i think the bot should spam the reputation point messages in #bot-commands

without @median junipering

[red garnet]

Agreed, as long as it does't ping

[red garnet]

I feel like only people who claim a modder role should be able to speak in #714429950765301791

[left violet]

Then that just moves issues to other channels such as arguing and whatever. And also how would they hand that out, what would be the criteria? Too much to think about and do imho.

[red garnet]

It'd basically just be to prevent people from saying :anyone know of a good Lambo mod" in mod showcase instead of a discussion channel where it's supposed to go. The modding roles are claimable in #roles, but anyone who doesn't care enough to post in the correct channel isn't gonna go to that trouble.

[left violet]

Anyone can just claim that role then so it doesn't mean anything and doesn't solve anything.

[tulip owl]

To be fair moving the issue to a different channel if kind of the point then. Would rather have people ask "anyone know a good lambo mod" in #mods-discussion than in #714429950765301791

[red garnet]

Out of all the people who have asked since october, only 2 have had the roles.The other 7 didn't. If it's not explicitly mentioned it will be avoided a lot more.
(I got this by searching for "anyone know any" in #714429950765301791)

[left violet]

Yet if this change was made it'd be announced and that would change drastically. I'm just saying making a role specific for that channel is a silly idea because once discovered anyone can just claim it and continue asking in the wrong channel, long discussions, arguments etc.

Just how I feel though, feel free to disagree.

[amber shard]

they won't claim a role just to ask in the wrong channel, they'll move to another channel

[tulip owl]

On the other hand, the nice thing right now is that anyone can compliment a mod or ask a question about it, which is quite nice. Officially this should be done in #mods-discussion but that's kind of annoying if you just wanna say "nice mod" or "how did you...". Making the showcase channel only available to those with the role, would mean this would no longer be possible (unless people claim the role ofc)

Other than that 100% agree w/ @red garnet

[left violet]

To be honest you'd be surprised with this server.

[red garnet]

Again, if someone doesn't pay enough attention to what the heck channel they're posting in, they aren't gonna ask "how can I talk in #714429950765301791?"

Plus think about how many people still have to get told to claim the bot commands role because they can't scroll up.

[left violet]

Eh, I still think it would be a stupid idea but I'm not the moderators so I can't really just say " no bad opinion not adding " lol.

[red garnet]

One thing I appreciate about you is you speak up if you disagree with something. That way moderators can see the good and bad of a potential idea before implementing it

[left violet]

Me or just generally people in this channel?

[red garnet]

You, Shados I

(That was one of those jokes that sounded funny in your head till you said it)

[left violet]

Ah, lol. Idk I just don't wanna be that person who agrees with everything for the sake of agreeing. I'd rather argue my point about certain things that I feel would or wouldn't work.

[red garnet]

What I appreciate about it is that you do it constructively. Someone posted this when I suggested the Automation channel, but it's hard to take someone seriously when they're like that lol

[red garnet]

Just putting this here s mods can see it easier lol

[red garnet]

See, this whole thing that just happened could have been avoided. He has no roles.

[red garnet]

@wispy cargo can I get your opinion on this?

[wispy cargo]

honestly that would backfire worse than the CCP discussion related warnings. If Beamcords modder role was more similar to Verified creator. Maybe, but rn anyone can get the role, even people that don’t mod

[red garnet]

CCP?

[wispy cargo]

Chinese communist party

But I’d rather talk about that somewhere that is not Beamcord.

[red garnet]

Here’s my logic. People who want to just ask for mods aren’t gonna take the time to claim a role

[amber shard]

agree

[pseudo gyro]

I hope they wouldn’t make it so only creators can post pics though, I like showing my appreciation haha. But I definitely agree something needs to be done about people asking unrelated things

[fallow epoch]

This wouldn't mitigate the problem completely, but it would definitely help. Also usually the people complimenting mods are also modders

[red garnet]

Here’s my solution: if they make it to where only people who claim modder roles can post (literally claimable in #roles), then the dwanks who don’t look at what channel they’re posting in won’t be able to, so they’ll be forced to move to another channel. If they want to post in the showcase channel, then we can do what we’ve done 49463 times in #bot-commands, just say go to #roles

I just think this is getting out of hand. The roles exist, so it’s not like we’d be making any massive changes to the server infrastructure

[pseudo gyro]

I don’t know what the best solution would be but something definitely needs to be done, I’m seeing at least 3 of those messages a day and I’m not constantly checking #714429950765301791 either

[red garnet]

Another person asked the same question. No roles.

[red garnet]

Allow external emoki for contributors in #support

[red garnet]

More people are asking the same questions as we speak. No roles.

Seriously, something needs to be done about this, the same annoying questions being asked time and time and time and time again could be avoided by simply limiting access to the modding roles that can be easily claimed.

Anyone who pays attention enough to know that is gonna pay attention enough to know "I shouldn't ask these questions here."

I'm hard to annoy, unless it's something easily preventable like this.

[jade terrace]

I see your and many others frustration and I have updated the channel guidelines in #714429950765301791
Adding a role restricts the channel too much and prevents people from freely talking for future posts we ask some information is posted along side images, such as what type of mod/skin, what your mod is supposed to be and is it released, there is also no strict format for this so how you put it in your posts is up to you.

[red garnet]

Thank you! Only thing is, the issue isn’t just “what mod is that”, but also the “anyone know any good _________ mods?”

This is just me, but I would at least make the automod delete “anyone know any”, they ALWAYS start like that

And now I will get off my soapbox and shut up.

[left violet]

But what if people who are making mods post an update but then ask underneath if they're having an issue and ask if anyone knows any way to fix it or something and it's just deleted lol.

#714429950765301791 message I feel one or two messages after an image isn't the end of the world, and then just move to another channel to continue talking.

Idk, I just feel like saying going completely to reactions only is a little bit of a reach for right now.

[spiral steppe]

treating people who post things especially mod devs teasing development on their creations like AAA dev teams giving update sneak peaks isnt going to help anyone

if people are too lazy to look for it themselves then that is their problem not the posters..

[wispy cargo]

agreed, i don't want to be dictated when "yea it's coming out right now, it's this mod", like that. I don't work for Activision, I literally do most of my mod development solo, it's not my responsibillity to create PR marketing in a Discord server

[spiral steppe]

also its just incredibly annoying to get 50 million and a half pings asking what mod it is, enforce a rule to prevent people begging for it instead of punishing people who post or create content in this server

[wispy cargo]

NGL it's simply easier to show the image of a mod, with optional text, nothing more. At this point you're pretty much asking for an deadline with such silly posting rules

[red garnet]

This.
This exactly.

[spiral steppe]

why i thought out policies i brought forward when i was a mod

[spiral steppe]

would appreciate a reply from someone on this policy, what's gonna be next or how much further will feedback be ignored? The points in this channel if feedback won't be listened to or opinions aren't at the very least taken into account

[tulip owl]

Maybe just see how it goes first? It's only been two days lol

[red garnet]

I mean
It makes it harder for the innocent parties while not at all mitigating the problem

[mental pecan]

We are not ignoring you, we just don't publicly reply to everything

[opaque pivot]

I think a good thing to do is make a channel that allows people to post FINISHED mods so people don't beg in #714429950765301791 , they can just look in the channel that has finished mods

[left violet]

Would that not defeat the purpose of mod showcase, and how would they even control who can access it. They'll still beg in that channel and if its attachment only no one will use it.

[spring tulip]

Work is ongoing to try figure something out that suits everyone! We won't keep a rule or guideline that benefits no one

[red garnet]

#714429950765301791 message - no roles

[tulip owl]

I believe you've made your point, no need to keep showing examples. Like Dim said, they're looking for a solution
(Not trying to be rude or anything btw, as a modder I 100% agree with you)

[red garnet]

Nah you’re fine

[spring tulip]

I know, we're working on it but we've got our personal lives too man sorry, trying to come up with a good solution rather than a fast implementation.
Also needs to be discussed with the beam team of course

[red garnet]

No worries sorry for being annoying. I run a server myself and I know it’s a lot harder than it looks like it should be.

[amber shard]

the roles are alr there tho

[red garnet]

Exactly. And we have the #chinese-中文 and #russian-русский channels, which have role requirements and are substantially less likely to be misused

[hexed topaz]

That can be cool to have only 5s slow mod in #support

[rigid moth]

Hello, I’m a YouTube creator looking to take up the creator role how do I do this? I’ve tried to go to the media@beaming page but I can’t figure it out. Any chance that someone could help

[spring tulip]

[e-mail] is an email address, you just need to follow the guide in #welcome and send an email to that

[rigid moth]

Ok thanks😁

[hexed topaz]

you need 1000 follower minimum to have the creator role

[rigid moth]

Ohhh ok thanks so much 😊

[red garnet]

Are you confusing that with the verified creator program on beamng.con?

[hexed topaz]

I don't really understand what you mean. But they are not the same thing ?

[red garnet]

No they’re not. The one on BeamNG.com gives early access to updates and a lot more. The role on the server is just that, just a role.

Also I’ve emailed multiple times and have received no response. I don’t want to bother them but also want the role lol

[hexed topaz]

Oh ok it's a little strange, but thanks for the information.

[rigid moth]

Yeah they haven’t got back to me either

[indigo spear]

Mods are incredibly fast, I pointed out something in memes, and that was gone, deleted in a minute or less

[serene bane]

Please email them again. People are on and off and might miss some applications. Should you not get a reply in the next few weeks let us know so that we can issue actions

[red garnet]

This sticker should be added, found it on another server

[red garnet]

Other things from the same server that should honestly be added:

[frank mortar]

can some one do finnish role or finnish chat

[unborn citrus]

moderation is the issue for that

[zealous sphinx]

To add a language-specific channel, we would need at least a few moderators who speak Finnish. Also, we would consider it only if we saw a lot of people asking for it.

[spring tulip]

we have a few finns in the server but not enough demand for finn specific language chats, and as mentioned above we need finnish speaking moderators.

[red garnet]

@ Finn W

[heavy sandal]

your should be nicer some times because some times you might not know the all answers

[lusty sphinx]

dunno if this is the place to ask but if someone from this server is tryna scam me, would I just send a dm to a mod w/ their username? it's not directly related beam and there wasn't a rule or anything specific to the situation so I figured that would be the ideal course of action?

[red garnet]

Use /report

[lusty sphinx]

gotcha, thanks 👍

[serene bane]

Might if you send me the evidence?

[red garnet]

I think it'd be really cool to have a bot that can tell when people are playing BeamNG, and give them a colored role. I know it's possible, I do it in my server

[tulip owl]

but

why

[spring tulip]

It likely won't be a thing, beamng has rich presence that you could use instead

[north quiver]

maybe a rule that prevents bringing drama from other servers into this one

unless that already exists an im a dum dum

[mental pecan]

This falls under rule 1+2

[north quiver]

then please inforce it in #automation because one guy there has made his entire personality just bringing up the fact hes banned from the Automation server

[rotund nest]

We sometimes miss things as we are on here as a volunteers. Please ping the moderator role for possible rule violations in the future.

[north quiver]

this is me pointing it out now

[craggy karma]

Mm

[red garnet]

Well heaven forbid the mods miss something because frankly it’s a somewhat overlooked channel

[north quiver]

Yeah like 5 people use it

[native turret]

Turkish should be included in the language category

[tulip owl]

That would require having moderators that can speak Turkish

[native turret]

But im turkish and ı m not understand you

[polar sentinel]

If we had enough Turkish used and Turkish moderators, we'd be able to create a Turkish channel. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of anyone on the moderation team who knows Turkish.

[rotund nest]

Google translate
Yeterince kadro Türkçe kullanılmış ve Türk moderatörlerimiz olsaydı, bir Türk kanalı oluşturabilirdik. Maalesef moderasyon ekibinde Türkçe bilen kimse olduğundan emin değilim.

[native turret]

Ok

[icy inlet]

lay off on the swear filter a bit

[polar sentinel]

It's used to help enforce rule 1 to new users. Specifically, the "avoid profanity" bit.

[icy inlet]

you can treat others with respect while having a swear word in your message

[polar sentinel]

Sure, but it's hard to keep conversations civil while cussing a lot.

[icy inlet]

ohh ok dont worry, i can make conversations not civil without cussing too

[polar sentinel]

And we'll take action accordingly.

[icy inlet]

yeah so whats the point of disallowing swearing if you can do the same thing without it

[wispy cargo]

the other people that would spam the f bomb in their messages

[scenic raptor]

why

[scenic current]

Go through channel pins and clear out useless things like images that aren't important. Noticed a few channels said to check the pins but some are filled with stuff that doesn't really matter or are no longer relevant

[royal bolt]

Everything ok with pins in specific channels, useless pins are in some general chats, but there is not so many pins, so I don't think it bad, and most of them is something interesting/funny

[scenic current]

I can point you to plenty of messages that aren’t relevant anymore. If you expect people to read pins I believe a lot of it should be removed don’t really want to scroll for a couple of minutes

[zealous sphinx]

We'll look into it; thanks for the heads-up!

[hexed topaz]

A little idea, remove the moderator role to the dev team to be able to ping only moderator 🙂

[tulip owl]

that's already the case 😂
only a few devs have the moderator role

[hexed topaz]

How, I just see and yes you are right lol, why some dev has this role and not other ? xD

[tulip owl]

because they are two separate things?

[hexed topaz]

you are confusing me but ok lol

[spring tulip]

Hey! I've gone through and cleaned up pins. Let me know if there's something there that I might've missed which might not be relevant.

[spring tulip]

some used to be moderators and eventually became part of the beamng team, they also decided to keep the moderator role

[hexed topaz]

oh so if they are ping when we ping moderator it's not bad ?

[spring tulip]

you should only use the moderator role ping if something needs urgent attention, like a raid or NSFW/ gross content is posted that needs to be removed asap

otherwise ping one moderator only or use the report command pinned in all channels

[hexed topaz]

ok I see, thanks you !

[sudden heath]

ngl we need mud splatter in BeamNG, it would really add to the off-roading and rally experience

[tulip owl]

#game-feedback

[sudden heath]

oh sorry

[low falcon]

maybe a few voice channels! I haven’t been in this server too long so if theres a reason there isnt nvm

[left violet]

The main reason is they're virtually impossible to moderate and you can't really have a moderator sitting there 24/7.

[royal bolt]

May be mark them as NSFW? and use report system?
(i know it will not, just thinking)

[red garnet]

I think the server wouldn’t be able to be public if they’re NSFW

[royal bolt]

idk exactly, but I think it can
(we didn't see many more problems)

[vapid pecan]

I think there should be a #wallpaperworthy channel

For super cool screenshots that are wallpaper quality

[tulip owl]

And who would decide if they are wallpaper quality? :P

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[vapid pecan]

It can be either like a voting system or just commenting or replying. Posts that are voted or most commented on as wallpaper quality will be posted in a channel

Along with other wallpaper-quality posts

:P

[vapid pecan]

Or people who think that their posts are wallpaper quality can choose to post their photos in a channel to be voted on

[minor zealot]

Please create another channel or whatever to separate low and high effort/quality mods from #714429950765301791. I understand mods are hard to do even if they're low effort/quality, but missing great mods because they're hidden in a bunch of mods that many won't even think about downloading when it releases is annoying.

This is what I think should define low quality / effort :

By low quality, I mean :

• JBeam (Vehicles/Props) : Is a meshslap / Is remarkably unstable / Tends to do artifacts often / Behave very unrealistically / Remarkably inaccurate
• Visuals (Vehicles) : Is low-poly / Looks too unrealistic / Low quality textures / Has no-textures even after clearing cache and instally required mods if there are some
• Visuals (Map) : Has a remarkable amount of no textures even after clearing cache and installing required mods if there are some / Low quality textures / Looks very odd (e.g. many things such as dark green grass)
• Other (Map) : Has a remarkable amount offset or very inaccurate hitboxes (such as the pots a bit before the hospital on the main road on wcusa but way more common that a few pots)
• Other (Vehicles) : Wrong engine sounds (Truly wrong ones, not slightly off ones)

By low effort, I mean :

• Lack of changes : Slightly edited versions of an existing map or vehicle (e.g. #714429950765301791 message / Ibishu Pavillon), Rebrandings
• Most low quality stuff, because if there's not enough effort it's extremely likely to be low quality.
• Visuals (Map) : Huge lack of details, also fit in low quality category.
• Troll mods
• Skins (Vehicles) : Mods which only contains a few boring or not original skins

If it only contains 1 or 2 low quality thing that isn't too bad (or even more if it has neat features such as doors opening; fully working dashboard etc (Such as the WIP Audi RS6 one's) etc), I think it's still fine

I can't put more stuff (2000 char limit), but it's enough for most cases.

[void heart]

Please give examples of said low quality mods in DM, thanks

[tulip owl]

yours (this is a joke, now laugh)

[serene wolf]

slides a meshslap in DMs

[minor zealot]

ofc i'll do, there's more and i'm not done yet

[left violet]

1. Who would determine that?
2. Who would actually use that channel?
3. Just why?

[minor zealot]

1. I just defined it and put it in the message
2. People who don't care much about quality, e.g. people who use automation mods etc.
3. Because finding good mods in this channel is getting harder over time without spending a while looking on the channel. Since the begining of the month (utc+1), I count 161 posts (with bias lets say at least 145) about wip mods which have pictures / videos in the channel, with some close to 10 images in their post. And, not only that, but there's also a bunch of comments inbetween each posts

[spring tulip]

That isn't going to happen, we aren't going to separate mods by quality or effort.
The only way I can guide you here is to use the repo and sort it by rating or downloads.

Also #714429950765301791 isn't a window shopping channel, it's for mod makers to show progress on what they're making in regards to BeamNG.

Please fix the automoderator for muting me for “offensive language” for saying “lol”

[red garnet]

Likely another word in the sentence triggered it

[floral trench]

I think we should have a channel only to share ideas for the game.
It seems to me that the channel #game-feedback should only be used to express our opinion on the game and to report bugs.

[tulip owl]

Why not do both of those things in that channel? Feedback can be both negative and positive, and imo both bugs and suggestions could be considered feedback

[floral trench]

Precisely I see that #game-feedback is only used to report bugs and we rarely find suggestions and even less opinions on the game. I don't know if it would be better 3 dedicated channels.

[tulip owl]

? There's plenty of suggestions in #game-feedback

[floral trench]

Yes sorry I didn't come across the message line where there were suggestions.
Anyway, as I said, I think there should be a channel just for ideas because often the affected posts get overrun by other bug posts and therefore cannot all be seen.

It's my opinion so the team does what it wants.

[red garnet]

Honestly I think several channels could benefit from moving to threads/forums. Specifically #game-feedback #discord-server-feedback #modding-general #714429950765301791. This would allow for a lot more organization, and a lot fewer messages being buried. If you want proof, look at the BotGhost Discord server (BG is a codeless Discord bot making platform), that server has a level of organization I've never, ever seen. It's very easy to see what suggestions people have, as well as the issues people are having.

[left violet]

Threads are a terrible idea. Sure they may work in other servers but the level of immaturity that has occurred here throughout time proves that if threads became a thing, it'd be hell. Threads being spammed, being used in the wrong ways, etc. Just my take but I think the channels are fine as they are, adding threads will worsen the problem.

[red garnet]

Then what about forum channels? In the BotGhost servers I've noticed the immature people just ignore the,

[left violet]

Again, that's other servers. Not here. If you've seen the level of immaturity, childish behaviour, etc etc then either way it would still not be a great idea. This is my opinion again, but both of those being a thing won't prevent any of this behaviour and potentially make it all worse.

[red garnet]

This is true. I just think there's gotta be a way to prevent suggestions/people asking for help/showcased mods from being buried by crapposts

[still current]

Allow text in meme please

[trim pine]

Kinda wish we had a separate channel for "Game-Updates"

[quasi knoll]

it's called #game-announcements

[trim pine]

is this an update to you?

[quasi knoll]

that is the first time they've done that. Leave them be. Also they post stuff like this

[trim pine]

what i meant was an update specific channel

[quasi knoll]

again that's in #game-announcements

[red garnet]

Automoderator:
Please slow down on the messages.

[strange plover]

What you want is just one google search away
https://www.beamng.com/game/news/

[royal bolt]

This is because MEE6 (BeamNG) bot had update, and it have many new features, this is may be bug, or smf

Also I think this server needs to set it up, because some new commands are useless here, and can spam

[red garnet]

Please remove embeds in feedback channels, they clog them up. Especially #game-feedback where people post videos for ideas

[tulip owl]

Quick tip for those who don't want embeds on their own messages, putting < > around a link will prevent it from showing an embed. But yes disabling them altogether in some channels would be nice

[red garnet]

Oh that’s great to know

[wispy cargo]

Easiest way to fix it

if it mentions nft it’s not good

[red garnet]

So neither of y’all are good

[severe idol]

[red garnet]

They’d need moderators who speak those languages. But I agree, a lot of the community speaks both and so do I

[left violet]

Just difficult to moderate if no one speaks said language.

Oh look!
Another Portuguese person with the same name!
What a coincidence!

[limpid nest]

E aí, mas o que você quer dizer com "mesmo nome"?

What's up, but what do you mean with "same name"?

[merry garnet]

O meu nome real e Johan!

My real name is Johan!

[limpid nest]

Temos o mesmo nome, legal!

We have the same name, cool!

[mental pecan]

@merry garnet please take this to DM's or general chat in English 🙂

[hallow sinew]

And then again they can’t just hire somebody to be mod simply because they speak the language, they would have to have trusted people who also speak the language which would be a lot of work simply for a channel or 2 that generally wouldn’t add much

[indigo spear]

A lot of issues, but we must have multiple language channels to unite the other non-English people into the game

But some people can’t, I find it hard to talk any other languages

[tulip owl]

Maybe it could be an idea to have some language-moderator applications or something then? Fewer perms and responsibilities than normal moderators, so they can just moderate a specific language channel (just an idea 🤷)

[cold flame]

maybe all voice channels for people to play together and chat

[left violet]

VCs are difficult to moderate as a moderator would virtually have to be there 24/7.

[severe idol]

I’m sure this has been said before, but the no swearing rule is legitimately the worst part of this discord server. It makes no sense considering that this is a 13+ discord and being timed out for using a word which is very much in my everyday vocabulary like it or not is exceedingly annoying, especially if I made a legitimately thoughtful comment which just so happened to have a swear word in it.

At the very least it should be like autoflux’s server where it the bot just deletes your message and says “watch your language “ instead of muting you. But honestly I’d just do away with the rule altogether.

[north quiver]

yeah, swearing isnt toxic, yall are just, and I say this in the kindest way, pansys
People just bypass swearing all the time in this server anyway, most of us are adults, come on

[red garnet]

I agree with the latter part. I can't stand the mute for basic words or even non-swears like the word that starts with r and ends with tard. I do think there should be a block for R-rated language though

[severe idol]

Pretty sure I got a automute for saying “r*tard the ignition timing” in the automation chat at one point. Though I’m actually okay with that word being regulated since it does have baggage and has historically been used to oppress people, but synonyms for crap/crappy shouldn’t be blocked

[north quiver]

some words do need it like that one that also british slang for a cigarette

[native turret]

Once I got a mute for saying “p**is man” because someone posted a pic of a drift autobello with that plate

[wispy cargo]

probably reduces the worse part of the game's demographic... or the ones stuck in MW2 lobbies for eternity

[late pewter]

More language channels (polish, german, spanish, etc.)

[modest hare]

We just don’t have enough specific language moderators to host the channels.

[late pewter]

Okay thanks

[tulip owl]

^ 🤷

[modest hare]

Language-moderator thing is kinda exists already, at least in my case. About when applications are gonna be opened- unfortunately I have no answer.

[spring tulip]

it's not only a case of moderation but regional popularity for the game, as you see russian and chinese speakers are a large part of the audience and aren't only channels here, but you're also able to officially contact support in those languages alongside english.

[pseudo gyro]

Why are people on this server so incapable of reading what a channel is about 💀

Specifically with #714429950765301791 people keep going in there and posting either stuff that belongs in #automation or asking questions like “where can I find a ___ mod” that go in #mods-discussion

Literally three out of the last five things posted in #714429950765301791 are automation stuff

[red garnet]

What about Spanish/Portuguese? There are a LOT of people who speak those languages, basically the entirety of Central and South America, as well as some parts of Europe and Africa.

[spring tulip]

i'll ask about further language chats since there has been plenty of questions on some lately but i may not be able to give an answer

Also generally finnish people seem to have a good understanding of english, while Russia and China aren’t historically English speaking countries so there might be more people from there with limited English proficiency

That said I would suggest adding a spanish/portuguese chat and like two or three mods who speak them because of the same reason

solution: create vc's and set their limit to 1 person

[modest hare]

But what’s the point of it?

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[severe idol]

by that logic no game community would have a vc ever

[native turret]

More mature communities are probably fine with mature vc
We are a community for an all ages game and a community aimed to accept 13+ people here so, we avoid mature topics and have to moderate that.
I probably dont have to explain the issue with 20 year olds talkin mature to 14 year olds where we cant moderate it lol.

[red garnet]

Please make a few more discussion channels, so that multiple conversations can be had at the same time. Servers for other games do it.

Or at least give contributors their own chat so that we can converse without the interjection of children

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[left violet]

Having a contributors only chat would be nice tbf.

[royal bolt]

This would be really good
Do it! 😂

[wild sequoia]

Spanish and Portuguese are completely different languages, so I would recommend not to put them in the same channel if they decide to add them. (And yes, I am Spanish and I do not understand someone who's speaking Portuguese)

[red garnet]

I am aware, as I speak Spanish fluently and am learning Portguese for about 5 years now.

[wild sequoia]

especially when other people with more important roles than you can swear and nothing happens to them. (and yes I've seen that happen)

[unborn citrus]

I dont understand the 10 second slowmode on game-discussion, can you atleast move it to 5 seconds

[lost siren]

It's only 10s you can live without chatting for 10s

[wispy cargo]

6 messages iirc totalled up for a minute (and some basic math you can calculate it)

[red garnet]

I suggest removing the moderator ping and making people use /report instead

[spring tulip]

moderator ping is really useful when someone posts gross content or a raid happens, we can handle unnecessary pings every now and then

[red garnet]

Well then here's an idea: make a colorless role that is granted after level 5 or so, and only let those roles ping mods.

[spring tulip]

thanks, but again it kind of limits people that might be present at the time and something might need attention, since mod pings haven't really been an issue besides being asked for support it doesn't need any attention right now

[red garnet]

Valid.

[severe idol]

Or just make pinging a moderator against the rules. Having modded big servers before it was just annoying. Mods aren’t there to wait on you hand and foot

[red garnet]

Or at least ping abuse. Maybe put in the rules not to ping mods for support

[modest hare]

You think that people are reading rules here?

[serene bane]

I'll forward it anyway. Worth a thought or two, as everything posted here.

[red garnet]

Thanks. one less unwritten rule.

[left violet]

Pinging moderators can be acceptable for certain things, it just ends up being a case of abusing that. Look for what the mod ping was for and maybe have it where there's rules about what you can ping mods for and what not. If it's a useless mod ping, or if it wasn't needed, issue a warn or a mute maybe.

Figured I would throw my 2 cents in.

[red garnet]

This exactly, just was too lazy to type it all

[left violet]

Oh I couldve typed a whole damn essay, that's me being lazy there lol.

[left violet]

I remember suggesting this already a while back and some others have aswell. But I feel this server could benefit from having another art channel not dedicated to just BeamNG. Any general art would be posted in there so it separates the two out as there has always been a mix of the 2 in the fan art channel.

Not sure how likely this is of happening but i feel it'd work alot better.

[north quiver]

every time someones brought it up we just get told to put it in #off-topic

[red garnet]

BeamMP channel, so game discussion doesn't get flooded with MP stuff?

[left violet]

I think if it was made it should probably just be called " multiplayer-chat " as people play both beammp and kissmp.

[north quiver]

the beamMP discord exists

[red garnet]

People are sometimes more active here though
My server has a multiplayer channel, I don't jst tell people to go to another server.

[north quiver]

But the BeamMP Discord is made for that. In your own server it makes sense, that's a group of friends

[spring tulip]

Thanks for the input but as mentioned, there is an entire server dedicated to it and since it's a mod it won't be getting a channel here, the closest thing we have to a channel about something outside of BeamNG is the Automation one, and that's since there's an official collaboration between them

[red garnet]

Wrong channel entirely. Try #game-discussion-1 or #support

[versed zenith]

ok

👋 guys/ gals I'm new here new to pc and new to creating.. sorta.. I'm a gamer 💯. I've had the pc a minute. But I'm just looking for advice. I've got the blender app. And looks like I needed a cad program. I have free cad. I'm having trouble getting a file into blender though... any suggestions

[tulip owl]

#modding-general or #tech-and-hardware

[fair osprey]

Right on thanks and sorry 🫡

[shadow lance]

didnt there used to be a suggestions page

[silver linden]

A page for suggestions that is separate from the feedback page?

[tulip owl]

There is one on the forums

[wanton peak]

<@&710084482031550547> is there an lfg appropriate channel

[zealous sphinx]

Please do not ping the whole mod team for such questions

[dire yew]

hey, uh so, i'm pretty sure automod is broken or something, it's incredibly oversensitive and mutes for things that are not specified anywhere by the rules

[spring tulip]

the automod gives you a short message as to why it mutes you, profanity should be avoided here and it is specified under rule 1

[dire yew]

i know that, i said holy "another word for excrement" in reaction to a post that i felt warranted it, if any profanity, no matter what is forbidden, then you guys should specify, atleast that'd be my recommendation, the current ruling is very vague and leads to confusion, the auto mod also doesn't seem to filter what i'd argue are some more defined examples of "profanity", and the word it filtered can absolutely be used in non profane manner, there are even mods on the rep that have said word in them

these are just suggestions for improvement, i'm not trying to be argumental or anything like that

[spring tulip]

Specifying which words are filtered would likely lead to that being abused and bypassed so that can't happen unfortunately, another issue that i totally understand is that the automod will mute even if there was nothing insulting or profane meant using said word but it just can't know that. The idea had been brought forward twice before to make it a little less strict but in the end was decided by the staff to keep it as is.

Can you specify what might be vague? rule 1 pretty much states to avoid profanity but maybe I understand profanity in a different sense to how you might interpret it

[dire yew]

typically avoiding profanity could be understood as keeping it minimal, but the stance here seems to be that it is forbidden, the difference from something forbidden to something that should be avoided is extremely large, the current rules leave an obscene amount of user interpretation on the table, and for a server of a scale as big as this one, that just isn't good enough.

[spring tulip]

good point, ill forward this message

[dire yew]

it's especially confusing when rule number 2 starts with "we have zero tolerance", making the previous "avoid" seem way less important, i suggest a little bit bigger, more in-depth ruleset especially for rule number 1 and rule number 7

[red garnet]

Yet I’ve seen people use the s word in #game-discussion-1 with no repercussions

[fluid helm]

💩

[dire yew]

things need to be decisive and clear, not something users have to guess how the staff feels about, it also makes moderation way more consistent

[spring tulip]

totally agreed, rule 2 goes on to be far more specific and definitely does undermine rule 1 with the wording, i cant promise anything but i will forward this

[dire yew]

thanks, i used to be a moderator for a few places back in the day, so i kinda get that this can be a bit complex to sort out and fine polish, especially when things have to go through a lot of internal discussions where people don't necessarily have the most compatible ideas or opinions

[lament isle]

what settings impact cpu usage

[tulip owl]

this is great discord feedback

[native turret]

Voice Channels

[lost siren]

that literally would not be feasible. as said many times for instance to moderate the vc's a mod would have to stay in the vc 24/7

[red garnet]

FAQ

Will there ever be voice channels?
No, as this would require 24/7 moderation in order to remain a public server.

Can we get a chat for x language?
No, as this would require enough moderators who speak the language.

*Why such a long slowmode in x channel?
To help avoid spam, as well as just generally helping control the chat. Remember, this server has 80,000+ members.

If anyone else can think of any other FAQ's let me know

[fallen stream]

A separate FAQ channel should help

[hexed topaz]

It's more related to the website, but have a dark mode compatibility on pc can be cool.

[red garnet]

I'd put that in #game-feedback as devs don't really look here

[tulip owl]

no

[red garnet]

The automod is missing the S word

[distant river]

Is there a possibility of getting an emote of the Wentward DT40L?

[red garnet]

Please change the name of this channel to #server-feedback to avoid confusion. Seems like people for whom English is not their first language don't quite understand.

[sonic trench]

please, decrease slowmod in #game-feedback from 10mins to 5 mins, so we can get better discussion(10 mins is really big amount of time, maybe if i wanna reply to someone's message either i need to wait 10 mins either i need to edit mine existing message)

[tulip owl]

It is not meant for discussions 🗿

[sonic trench]

i mean discussion about issues, bugs, etc.

[tulip owl]

It is not meant for discussions 🗿

[sonic trench]

i didnt asked rn lmao

[spiral steppe]

not meant for discussions,

its for feedback, all that it's for

[sonic trench]

thats not cancels that i need to wait 10 mins to reply for someone's message that sent in reply for mine

[surreal bone]

Ping author of message in feedback in #game-discussion-1 then to start discussion

[left violet]

Its a channel literally for dropping feedback on a bug, or suggesting something every once in awhile, or finding a chunk of bugs and posting them all at once , not having a talk and relaxed chat in it. As suggested just ping outside of the channel if you wanna talk to someone in there about something lol.

[shell tundra]

<@&710084482031550547> Which is the best channel to post DIY hardware for use with BeamNG.drive?
Is #game-discussion-1 OK?

[polar sentinel]

Weird thing to ping all of us over, but okay.

Yeah, that's fine.

[shell tundra]

I find on other server if you ping one you may never get a reply.

thanks

[red garnet]

Please add an autoresponder for "I need help" in #game-discussion-1

[serene wolf]

That and #bot-commands , tell em to go to #roles .

[severe idol]

On most servers you’re not allowed to ping the mods for any reason. They aren’t there to solve your problems

[red garnet]

@rotund nest

[serene bane]

The answer of dim persists. It really is useful when there's quick reaction needed. Telling people when they've misused it is not necessarily an issue for us :P

[shell tundra]

So your saying moderator are not there to help moderate the channels and help users post in the wright channel? If so why have them?
Boy have I been doing moderating so wrong for so many years.

[untold furnace]

they're here to moderate. you ping them when someone is breaking rules. they aren't here to help with your other issues (they may choose to, but that would be their own personal choice, just like any other member)

[shell tundra]

I ping them so I did not break the rules and thats what they are there for to keep the rules.

the end

[spring tulip]

We've covered the subject and given our input, we can move on

[north quiver]

maybe, taking a leaf out of Automations discords book, we could have a forum style thing for Feedback and suggestions. Could maybe make it easier to seperate bug reports from suggestions and stuff

[red garnet]

Agreed.

[severe idol]

god please no forums literally the worst thing about discord

[red garnet]

Matter of opinion.

[royal bolt]

I think forums will do chaos here, in such big server

[red garnet]

BotGhost server has a similar number of people and does fine with it

[left violet]

Yeah but this is Beamcord lol.

[tulip owl]

very good point, unfortunately

[north quiver]

Forums would make it easier to seperate suggestions from bug reports, and would also make it easier to find out if a suggestion or bug has already been reported

[lost siren]

The official website has forums which do that and more

[north quiver]

so why wouldnt they work here too?

[left violet]

Because this is beamcord.

[red garnet]

But the BeamNG forums shares a lot of the same dumb souls as this server.

[left violet]

Yeah and the forums is also a nightmare so where's your point?

This server doesn't have the maturity levels to use the forums idea effectively, and I overall think it'd be a terrible idea to have them. Feel free to disagree with me but those forum things aren't gonna make things better here.

[north quiver]

my thought was, because of the threads having these thingys, it would make it easier for staff specifically to keep track of things

and trust me, if servers for a roblox game can use forums, so can this place

[lost siren]

As said forums already exist and are extremely cancerous and this discord server is getting closer and closer to pure cancer

[left violet]

Nah. This server is far from being able to use them properly and there would end up being so much chaos, people misbehaving etc. I get your thought process but this server has a reputation for being superior at terrible behaviour and such else.

Adding on to this, it then gives even more for the moderators to have to keep watch of as several things will be separated and such with more people talking in each.

There's my 2 cents, think of it what you will, but I just think they'll be a terrible idea.

[north quiver]

would be good if Discord was actually competant
but I see your point

[red garnet]

I think the rules should be a bit less vague about how swearing is handled. In the message I replied to you can see pieces of the rules from almost all other servers I'm in. I'm aware that rule 1 says no profanity, but that can be taken many different ways.

[spring tulip]

Going by this logic we'd have to list every word that's not allowed which we consider to not be viable, it can be misused to just bypass the filter.
The server is simply a no profanity one

[red garnet]

Not necessarily. Saying "no profanity" without any idea what that includes is like saying "don't speed" without any signage to know what the speed limit is.

[serene bane]

We're working on that particular issue.

[magic gust]

hellwo

[wild sequoia]

add a #880050375758086155-feedback to report bugs on mods etc...

[tulip owl]

If only all mods had a discussion forum

Oh wait

[red garnet]

You have to create the thread and have a moderator link it manually

[tulip owl]

Correct, but it still exists. Not sure why a discord channel here would help, especially since forum and discord accounts aren't linked (hard to find mod authors unless their names are the name on dc and forums)

[crisp atlas]

7 days left😢

[native turret]

Repair modding discussion timer and make a FAQ channel

[dry veldt]

Why’s that happening? I noticed days ago but I don’t know why :(

[crisp atlas]

Same brother, idk. Maybe personal reason i guess..

[dry veldt]

🫡

[red garnet]

He's just moving on. He'll still be a moderator here.

[dry veldt]

That’s good to hear. :)

[tacit gull]

Suggestion, add a channel for realistic ingame scenes, such as MVA’s, traffic stops, basic RP ig.

[chilly bay]

would be a cesspool of cringe

[hexed topaz]

Considering the big amount of conversation in the #714429950765301791 , have a 5min slow mode can be good, because it will force other to talk in the #mods-discussion and with that, modder will have more visibility on her mods.

[fresh kiln]

None

[drifting fulcrum]

who russian

[hasty ingot]

The enforcement on this server is trash, clips or messages mentioning pss or msturbation are removed in like 2 seconds but apparently things like this are acceptable...

[spring tulip]

none of this meme can really be considered offensive or profane in its remarks since its basically just making a remark on preferences. Discussion of your mentioned messages is discouraged due to the age diversity of the server.

Note that profanity is mainly handled by a bot so a meme that really could go against our rules here might not be seen by a mod straight away which is where you could use our reporting system so we could look into it

[hasty ingot]

Saying p*ss is apparently not age appropriate, talk of femboys and tomboys is. I rest my case?

[spring tulip]

ill look into why "piss" is even on the profanity list as i totally get why that's pushing it a bit far.
femboy and tomboy just refers to someones personality and clothing style it's not a bad thing?

[green parrot]

Yeah i dont understand why femboy term is so wrongly used

[hasty ingot]

Being good or bad isn't the issue, your logic is that certain words are being censored because they are not age appropriate, when sexual fetishes apparently are...

[spring tulip]

none of those are sexual fetishes

[hasty ingot]

Yeah keep telling yourself that.

[green parrot]

That comment is sad

[spring tulip]

im not sure of the context you've seen this sort of stuff but a woman that prefers to act like a dude and then vice versa is not sexual lmao

[hasty ingot]

Yeah it is, in the most literal sense.

[green parrot]

Real femboy can confirm that this is true

[hasty ingot]

As someone who is not a pervert, I can confirm that it is not.

[tulip owl]

[green parrot]

If you look reddit yes you are right if you look reality you are wrong

[hasty ingot]

I know you of all people aren't preaching about reality. Also in case you haven't noticed, you're on Discord, and you're doing a very bad job at not fitting "that" stereotype right now.

[spring tulip]

i know what you're referring to, and that's a stereotype, the terms themselves are not fetishy

[polar sentinel]

You can prefer something without being sexually attracted to it. There's also mundane things which people like in bed, so we can't limit things because someone might like it in that sense. But also, none of those are specifically lewd preferences; they can be, but many other things can as well.
It's just a meme about what they like.

[hasty ingot]

That's called a double standard.

[polar sentinel]

In what sense?

[hasty ingot]

The literal one, look up "femboy" on any popular search engine and the vast majority of the results reference sexuality. The term is sexual in nature, always has been.

[hasty ingot]

Case in point.

[polar sentinel]

There's nothing sexual about it, unless you're confusing the difference between sexuality and sexually.

[hasty ingot]

The only difference is that one is a noun and the other is an adjective, they refer to the same thing: sexual intercourse, a topic which according to the guidelines of this server (provided they were enforced with any amount of objectivity, which they aren't) is 100% not age appropriate.

[polar sentinel]

It's a thumbs are fingers, but fingers aren't thumbs kind of deal.

[hasty ingot]

I mean, even if that were true it just proves my point so I'm not sure where you're going with it...

[green parrot]

We should ban every word in the world because peoples find every thing some sexual

[polar sentinel]

Lol, yes.

[hasty ingot]

Hah, let's not start talking about who gets offended by words, we both know you'd lose. I don't have any issue with what oh_finks posted, my issue is with the biased moderation.

[polar sentinel]

I'm failing to see how that's the case. It shows that sexuality is not always something sexual, like how identity and appearance aren't, either. We can't ban everything for being partly related to one thing that's against the rules, otherwise everything would be banned.

[polar sentinel]

If you are not going to keep this discussion civil, it will not continue any further.

[green parrot]

Maybe moderators should give final word and end this case

[polar sentinel]

"No", if you'd like, we can continue this in DMs.

[hasty ingot]

Yeah but you can ban them for mentioning bodily fluids, apparently. Also "sexuality is not always something sexual" is a sentence that literally makes no sense, it's not coherent.

[polar sentinel]

It says so right here.

[green parrot]

Okay my brains stopped working

[polar sentinel]

Your disagreement with the use of words is not a fault of our own. We're looking into why some words are banned and seeing about resolving that.

[green parrot]

But in my opinion we should get somekind of list about banned words

[polar sentinel]

I'll forward that feedback.

[hasty ingot]

I've already told you why, it's called a double standard. You think I'd bring this up if I something I or someone else posted was removed by a bot? This was manual intervention by a moderator, so you can't really blame it on tech issues.

[green parrot]

Or actually idk because that makes bypassing filter easier

[polar sentinel]

All message deletes with 3-minute mutes are caused by a bot.

[polar sentinel]

But again.

[hasty ingot]

Don't even get me started why that filter exists to begin with, this server is clearly not age appropriate. I'd argue even the game by nature isn't age appropriate given that it's the type of thing that would've given politicians a stiffy back in 2005-ish when this type of nonsense was at it's peak. But if you really want to be that kind of server, at least be fair about it.

[polar sentinel]

That's not really related, but alright.

If have anything else to say, please do so in my DMs.

[green parrot]

Okay now i dont anymore know wtf

[polar sentinel]

Dude, further arguing's not going to help your case. We're already looking into the word ban list, but things will be less likely to change if you try to annoy people. Just send whatever you have to say to me, since the topic has been going on for a while already.

[hasty ingot]

It's not about the word list, what I'm talking about is the way YOU (as in, human beings) are moderating the server, not the damn bot.

[polar sentinel]

Again, please continue this in my DMs.

[tulip owl]

beamcord femboy discussion 🤯 (real)

[serene wolf]

Only on beamcord.

[green parrot]

Nah i can say that this is not even worst in discord

[serene bane]

It'd be nice, especially from contributors, to not continue this drama, after seeing it ended.

[hasty ingot]

Sorry, I went to the john. Anyway, I don't want to debate with you, especially not topics that I've already turned my homework in on long ago. That's not what this is about, if you can't even understand that much then you have no place being a moderator of any kind. Anyway don't worry, I'm not staying, I didn't really like the game 9 years ago because it was basically just a tech demo, and the only thing that's changed since then is that Tumblr is moderating the community channels now. Not exactly an improvement, see ya.

[polar sentinel]

Lol, okay. Have a good day.

[north quiver]

whilst I dont agree with most of this guys ideals, I do want to point out that we have heavy repercussions for typing a swear word...yet the memes channel is always swearing like a sailor

Please, pick a lane

[brave plover]

why a is a word like (can't say it but similar to poop) not allowed to say?

[red garnet]

It's a swear word

[brave plover]

how

[red garnet]

Please allow threads in places like #mods-discussion, gets hectic with multiple conversations happening at the same time, and all belong there too

[serene bane]

I can reassure you we are actively looking into/evaluating on a forum/thread solution for the modding and support section.

[red garnet]

💯

[brave plover]

if the mute thing isn't going to be removed please atleast make it so that it only deletes your messages for certain words

[left violet]

If possible, it could be a case of 3 chances before it becomes a mute, and the mute becomes progressively longer (by like a minute I'd say)

However from my knowledge the mute is only 3 minutes, so it's not the absolute end of the world.

[red garnet]

I frankly think their bot is too dumb for that

[twilit musk]

None

[severe hemlock]

It only deletes messages with profanity/swearing already

[lost siren]

That does not look trustworthy

[modest hare]

No, it won’t give you anything. Just don’t ping us or dev team for no real reason.

[tired roost]

I mean with some reason

[empty stream]

I agree. We need threads or a forum where you can only reply with Media and text, not just text, that would stop the

Only in Aus would someone use that word that way

[empty stream]

Yea that’s where I’m from💀👍

[red garnet]

Yeah that's what I mean, yall's way of talking is just a little different sometimes.

Everywhere has their own rules about profanity, for example I learned recently that in Europe the word a## isn't even viewed as a swear, but in the US it is.

[empty stream]

Here’s a tip:) you can use the ## inbetween swear words, use use the II so it looks more discrete

So A||##|| is a body part. So why would a body part be considered a swear word?😂

But trust me, I can guarantee I swear more in a week then you would in a year😆

[red garnet]

Actually, the A word means donkey.

And you probably swear more in a day than I would in a year, I refuse to cuss.

And using ## is still cussing in my eyes.

But this is not the channel for this.

[empty stream]

I know I shouldn’t swear when there are kids here. I try my best not to.

[spring tulip]

what's the reasoning here? if you guys have some kinda history of not getting along you might be best discussing that personally, i could say something stupid and some random newcomer could agree with me and i might also get accused of an alt too, that's illogical

its a big server, people join often and might randomly find something they agree with, be it dumb or smart. it's not reasonable proof

[gleaming zodiac]

can people not read??

[fluid burrow]

well i cant read that.

[hexed topaz]

I have already ask that before, but it is possible to add a slow mode of 5-10min in the #714429950765301791 to stop all discussion in it to be able to see mods please ?

[left violet]

I think the slowmo shouldn't be increased that much, but I do agree it should be raised ever so slightly.

[livid sparrow]

Bad suggestion, channel works perfectly fine in its current state

Also i dont even really think that would even stop discussion, ive seen it happen in 6 hour cooldown channels

[red garnet]

Maybe not such a slowmode, but it seems like there's never moderators there except when there's extreme drama. At least one moderator should be active in that chanel.

[bold ice]

holy hell the slowmode in showcase is absurd

[tulip owl]

the duality of beamcord 😔

[limber whale]

Showcase your mods?

[spring tulip]

That was changed on purpose since the channel was often going off topic or having lengthy conversations, the logic behind the extended slowmode is to benefit mod authors in receiving feedback and not having it buried by other conversation there

[hasty edge]

can we grens have immunity on slowmode?

[red garnet]

That’s not possible due to how slowmode works

[left violet]

Also what's the point? The role doesn't give you any power or authority over the other people lol.

[night shale]

Since when?

[fluid burrow]

idk

[hasty edge]

i knew it would be a bad idea lol

[hasty edge]

more language channels?

[modest hare]

We need more moderators for that.

[hasty edge]

i figured

[livid sparrow]

suggestion: reduce showcase slowmode to 30s again because that was better

[red garnet]

Any conversations should be had in #mods-discussion anyway so

[royal bolt]

Maybe just separate showcase mods to two channels, showcase with discussion and one with no?

I know that this is stupid idea lol

[red garnet]

The instructions are clear, just no one reads them.

[jade terrace]

we're testing the use of forums to help alleviate this, though it is in very early testing and very W.I.P so there is no timeframe for when and if it will be released to the public.

[north quiver]

I dont wanna sound mean but I feel like half of the mod team barely ever show up, and a lot of stuff eeks through the gaps cuz theres not that many active

[native turret]

Thats gunna happen on stuff like weekdays as we have actual jobs. If things are happening we have report tools for a reason

most of us have the report system set to push notify us so

[mental pecan]

You can always ping us when it's necessary

[north quiver]

yeah but like take one peek in #beamng-fanart and you can see a bunch of Normal fanart. I get yall have jobs and are busy and stuff, and I dont see the point in pinging for such minor things

[spring tulip]

#automotive-art , feel free to post your automotive art not related to BeamNG here, happy posting!

[left violet]

Finally

[copper sierra]

How do you report something if I can't dm mods? Just a discord bot/copy paste for a link.

[spring tulip]

Your options are:

• To ping the moderator role if something needs immediate attention
• Use / report (user) in any channel
• Tag an individual moderator online
• DM us, not all of us have our DM's open but you can try some of us, but preferably you should use above options first.

[copper sierra]

@spring tulip Just got a message request for someone linking to a "MMORPG League Of Angles Pact" with sus link and pic. Was gonna dm my screenshot to a mod, if you're fine with the dm.

[spring tulip]

yeah ofc, go for it

[solemn fractal]

Same here. I ended up taking screenshots too.

[drifting dew]

is that reputation system gone now?

[tulip owl]

no

[drifting dew]

oo

[eager glacier]

wth???

[zealous sphinx]

Please DM me

or one of our moderators

[hard crest]

[jade patrol]

automod picking up regular swear words is BS, discord is 13+ we should be allowed to swear anyway

[languid locust]

Or you can be creative and use substitues.

[languid locust]

Which one of 'em?
Sword seems to work

[limber whale]

What if the devs were called the Beam Team

[fair trellis]

why cant the server show me my rank when i do !rank in #bot-commands

[tulip owl]

because you need a role for that, go to #roles and click the 🤖 reaction to get it

[dense grove]

looks weird

[lunar kelp]

its much better imo. but this channel is about the server setup, not about discord if i am not wrong

[red garnet]

May I suggest changing the name of the channel to #server-feedback

[spring tulip]

Good call, hopefully it's more obvious this channel is meant for feedback on this server and not discord as a whole.
Thanks!

[dire path]

report them for CRINGE LOL

[plain wyvern]

Love the new idea for mod showcase, with the threads, good choice. Makes looking for upcoming mods so so much easier

[frail fractal]

not sure about it personally, especially as the exclusive way of things working

it seems restrictive and will likely become an absolute mess after everyone gets their mods on there, just to abandon half of them after they move on

although it might stop mod requests so i suppose it isn't all bad

[stone iris]

Its stupid, if I wanted forums Id go to beamng.com lol. Its pointless and just causes more restriction

[wispy cargo]

Discord's attachment system to embed forums to make it look professional is just terrible, I only have one shot at it, #714429950765301791 could be useful for a bit longer for those who dont have access or prefer using that rather than the forum feature

[jade terrace]

Technically you had two if you did not delete the original post, if that is deleted then you're out of luck.

[wispy cargo]

Discord didn't give me another shot at that even when i did.

[jade terrace]

The restriction on posting is because we have to manually moderate the posts vs using our bots.

[jade terrace]

you have needed to embed in the original message

I can demonstrate with the feedback channel

[wispy cargo]

discord making my life harder, one by one i guess 😔

sure, could be useful

[jade terrace]

Case and point

[wispy cargo]

noted.

[jade terrace]

it will also keep relevant mod talks to their own section instead of people talking over one another and posts being missed, it can also help with issues as mod creators can post bugs there instead of people just asking in the chat

[red garnet]

I think we should keep them both

[stone iris]

I agree. The forum is cool for "spot lighting" mods but its not inclusive

[snow valve]

Add a teaser tuesday role so everytime there is a teaser we get alerted

[pseudo gyro]

I think the forums idea is stupid tbh, every single time I’ve seen a server change an existing channel to be a forum it’s been reverted in a few weeks due to not being liked. Plus I don’t think mod showcase would work as well as opposed to something like a support channel

Also this may be a discord issue but atm sorting by a tag with no posts makes you unable to access anything else

[lunar kelp]

Imo it's better. Because the channel format will make it hard to search for mods that were teased minimally a week ago. Forums format will solve that and will sort comments for a mod. I will aslo be easier to search for a mod or a teaser

[pseudo gyro]

go to search
type in:showcase-your-mods
search for the mod name (or alternatively sort by the mod developer)

Accomplishes the same

[north quiver]

threads look nicer imo

[amber shard]

forums are nicer to browse and look at

[languid locust]

Also easier to follow the mods you're interested in

[native turret]

yeah, but game announcements role would be better

also one thing about #714429950765301791 deleting it would be sad, cuz there is a lot of photos of multiple mods that was in early wip stage

[hexed topaz]

you should put the #714429950765301791 behind the #1102973298222051358 , it will be easier to understand modder should use the forum instead of having her message deleted in the old one

[jade terrace]

At the moment it is just archived, there's no date for when it will be deleted.

[jade terrace]

No one should be able to post in #714429950765301791 , if they can it is a bug with their discord client, the message won't be posted due to lack of permissions

[hexed topaz]

I can actually and have the 6 hours cooldown, so maybe something was made wrong (or it's because I have the rôle to write in the forum one ?)

[lunar kelp]

i saw "test" in https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/714429950765301791

[jade terrace]

try post a message.

did you delete it @hexed topaz ?

[hexed topaz]

I need to wait 6 hours so I can't now :/

@lunar kelp yes it was me and I have delete it, just for a test

[jade terrace]

Ah, none the less people are not posting in there, i'll leave it for now lmao

[lunar kelp]

Oh ok

[red garnet]

As aforementioned, I feel like keeping both is a good idea. Small mods like engines and stuff don’t really warrant a whole thread, and if they were posted in #mods-discussion they would get buried near instantly

I think something like #support would be better to be 100% moved to forums. I think forums for mods is a good idea, but it doesn’t feel like a good replacement

[grave vapor]

A channel for config sharing? Or should we just use #1102973298222051358?

[red garnet]

There’s a server for that. Check my bio.

(Sorry mods for self promoting but this keeps getting brought up over and over)

[grave vapor]

There are a lot of servers for configs, but i'm sure a lot of people want a channel on the official server.

[red garnet]

Touche.

Are you in any of said servers? Could you DM me an invite?

[grave vapor]

no.

[native turret]

reporting system doesnt delete the report text after being sent

[opaque pivot]

we need an argument channel so people don't have to argue all over the place

[left violet]

that's the worst idea I've ever heard lol

[wispy cargo]

the amount of n-words thrown

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[kindred cape]

imo removing #714429950765301791 completely is a bad idea, it's still some kind of piece of modding history where we can see older screenshots of both cancelled and already released mods

[wispy cargo]

Assuming forum is one at a time, #714429950765301791 should be used for smaller mods that don’t need a thread or mods without threads

[left violet]

Either smaller mods or just kept as a memory.
Theres alot of different stuff in that channel after all. It'd be nice to keep it as a memory of the past

[kindred cape]

I think #714429950765301791 would work fine for starting modders, not everyone makes mods big or good enough to make entire thread for them, seeing 2 skins with entire thread would be meh

[bold ice]

forums are doing exactly what i thought they would: the moderators seem to be completely ignoring the threads and giving the OP that job, even though said OPs have literally no power

[frail fractal]

the showcase-your-mods thread owners need to be able to deal with their own threads with at least some privileges lol

[jade terrace]

Unfortunetly this is not possible due to discord limitations, if we enabled such feature they'd be able to delete everyone elses messages from other forums threads

[frail fractal]

that's very annoying but alright
in that case, can you guys try to be a little more active in the threads with more activity? i know there's only so many of you but it doesn't even look like you've visited some of them according to the user lists, and you guys actually have the power here

[jade terrace]

If there are issues you can always ping the moderators, we are only volunteers and do this in our free time after all.

[serene bane]

We in addition have to of course get used to the new system, so moderation should improve over time

[wispy cargo]

I agree with Finn, i have a flame war on my thread on which I gave no input in and I pinged a mod to remove the parts including the flame war and they did NOTHING. Now I have to tag the whole moderation team

[serene bane]

A single mod, including me, might have discord open on some device, but isn't on discord atm.
Therefore, ping the entire mod team.
You cannot rely on a single person because of their online status and then be disappointed, they did nothing.
They simply couldn't, because they weren't on discord in the first place.

Correct me if I'm wrong please

[modest hare]

^
I’m often being online in Discord, but that doesn’t mean I’m on it rn, so pinging mod team is easier. But I’m reading Beamcord often so don’t be afraid to ping me.

[spring tulip]

nothing wrong with tagging the whole mod team if it needs attention

[shell river]

Yeah this ^^

Would like that cuz I’ve got some vanilla configs that so wheelies and I think it would be fun to have a forum where I can post them all

[crisp atlas]

if you want to tag every mod then have a good reason to!

[wispy cargo]

you're not wrong, it's true tho but it's sorted so whatever 🤷‍♂️

[north quiver]

"Shitbox" is no longer censored

[wispy cargo]

Shitbox is a term used to describe a beater iirc

[chrome mesa]

add a regular art channel

[spring tulip]

this has been a topic of discussion and it won't be happening sorry, it goes far too off topic for this server's main intentions, you can use other servers for that

[chrome mesa]

oh k

[lunar kelp]

As @native turret said we need a french channel because there is a lot of french people

[lunar kelp]

I think we need to disallow people to pinging everyone (because you can ping everyone, but you will get ⚫ MUTED)

[lost siren]

the mute is good enough. people should know not to ping everyone

[spring tulip]

The initial reason was when bots or hacked accounts would join the server and post scam links along with the everyone tag, it works as spam prevention and we need to keep it for that reason

[shell river]

any chance for this? a forum to post configs? Or would it be useless cuz most people might not care about it?

[red garnet]

I mean the ConfigShare server has 150 members so people care lol

[shell river]

Alright, would definitely be cool to see a section for that here then

[red garnet]

Not to mention I've seen it requested time and time and time again

[shell river]

yeah ive seen it a few times now too and requested it a couple times

[wispy cargo]

Is it still permanent with 6mo to appeal?

[spring tulip]

An accident is an accident of course, so no need to wait

[lunar kelp]

As an another thing for language-specific channels: @smoky lark (yagpdb bot) doesn't give you reputation when someone thanks you in russian or chinese. Hope this gets fixed (if it is possible).

[tulip owl]

I think its only supposed to give rep in channels like #game-discussion-1, #support, and the modding category. At least I remember reading something like that when the rep system was first introduced

[wide bobcat]

When needing game support, is it more realistic to get a reply in the forum or in #support? As I can see, most support questions are unanswered here

[tulip owl]

Like it says in the channel description, #support isn't an official support channel, it's just a place where members of the community can help eachother out of they want to / know how to. Official support can be contacted here: https://support.beamng.com/ (it can take a while to get a reply)

[digital sinew]

Do not delete the old showcase your mods channel

[jade sluice]

[royal bolt]

shh, don't tell them such things

[jade terrace]

That's on purpose for now.

[languid current]

punishing people for cursing is stupid 🥰

[languid locust]

Is holding a civilized conversation that hard?

[north quiver]

you can swear in a civilised conversation, its called local dialect

[hasty snow]

You should maybe add a channel called "Beamng storytime" or something similar, where people create scenarios and posting the backstory to the scenario

[native turret]

less slowdown for channels with slowdown. like 2 seconds instead of 5

[spring tulip]

5 is the lowest we can go

[native turret]

cant it be done using a bot?

[red garnet]

No. the best a bot can do is deleting a message after it sends

[lunar kelp]

you can cope

[left violet]

It is literally 5 seconds, you can cope with 5 seconds.

[north quiver]

There's no point changing something if it isn't causing issues

[languid current]

its not about the time
its about the principle

[north quiver]

What principle man it's a discord server not the downfall of the soviet union

[lucid thicket]

Oh God.

[fallen stream]

Hardly anyone's gonna care about it when 99% of the time it does nothing to intrude on regular conversations and only just filters out people who go
"fjsdlk

It really shouldn't be an issue

[north quiver]

Or the people who

For some reason

[lunar kelp]

How even is Russia associated with this? Would like to hear it, lol.

[languid current]

illistruative language

[lunar kelp]

About what language are you talking about? It ain't disallowed to swear in Russia.

[languid current]

i mean
im drawing comparison to make a point

[north quiver]

just dont swear its not hard

[thorny sable]

Listen, I'm sure it is incredibly hard not to drop racial slurs in one of every 4 messages but we can't and for good reason.

[languid current]

cursing and using slurs are 2 different things babe

[thorny sable]

I am being sarcastic bud

[flat scaffold]

Imagine being sarcastic about being sarcastic about being sarcastic about being sarcastic

[limber whale]

Yes imagine

[north quiver]

Could we do something about the paid branded mods bieng advertised in #1102973298222051358

[tulip owl]

they are mods, that are being showcased. makes sense for a channel called 'showcase your mods' no?

[north quiver]

So advertising paid mods of licensed cars that are literally illegal to sell

[tulip owl]

showcasing

[native turret]

do you have a link to any of these? I have not seen them myself
