What, which water droplet races down the window first?

[bold ice]

all of these people can confirm my message :D

[severe hemlock]

There will still be a few who cause problems but our hope is that the inconvienence would stop most of the arguing

[feral shell]

i can confirm chuck has all of us in his basement but he feed's us well so im not complaining

[bold steppe]

Here is the thing. People are still gonna go to other chats to argue... theirs no avoiding it. would it just be easier to handle it in one channel?

[bold ice]

its ok! i can very much decide what changes should happen to a 60000 member server with my 147 person server
you can 100% trust me!

[frail fractal]

all i feel you guys should do is not oppress speech in screenshots, but let people argue and take swift and harsh punishment on the people stirring up or starting the drama. stopping speech altogether won't help weed out the bad guys, will it?

(theo for moderator when)

[feral shell]

yeah but tbh in general is already a hell hole and also you can just let em duke it out sense SC or ect looks cleaner then #off-topic

[bold steppe]

true

[native turret]

drama is like acid
if you have a beaker full of just acid its gunna burn a lot when you stick a finger in and cause problems
but if you have a few beakers of acid and mostly water, it might be a bit tingly but its not gunna cause problems to anyone who interacts and will probably just fade out in potency

[severe hemlock]

If users decide that its not worth it to "call someone out" because they have to switch channels and then ping them, then the change was worth it in my eyes

[lost siren]

In every discord general is a hell hole

[jade terrace]

I can Neither confirm or deny this.

[frail fractal]

for legal reasons

(theo for moderator 2022)

[topaz summit]

best solution is to expand moderator amount lmao

[native turret]

easier said than done

[bold ice]

ill stop here, i think ive convinced enough: my server is a beautiful server, all because of my glorious moderation skills and perfectly set up bots

[bold steppe]

Btw, people are starting to do this...

[frail fractal]

this is someone you'd want on your mod team

[lost siren]

Oh no

[left violet]

Can you blame them? And it's not hurting anyone, it's just a little bit of fun. If it was hurting anyone, I think it would've already been stopped, but since it hasn't, I see no issue with it.

[bold steppe]

Yes ik this is a more funny example.

But it can still lead to drama

[feral shell]

yes, that's why just let em go at each other in #off-topic sense its not as clean and fine china as #screenshots

[lost siren]

General is the gladiator pit of discord servers lol

[feral shell]

it's a war but over something dumb 👍

[bold steppe]

In this case tho. can we at least lower the screenshot cooldown?

[topaz summit]

@left violetI guess you will just have to add the text into your liveries now xD

[bold ice]

tbf now we cant talk, a long slowmode wont stop anything

[lost siren]

As long as no one spams images like they spam memes

[left violet]

Oh hell yes 😎

[wispy cargo]

This thing is getting f**ing absurd, it's stupid. It's 1984, #screenshots message bans are making it worse. Just delete #screenshots anyway

[severe hemlock]

Seems fine to me

[lost siren]

We can't chat in sheenshots. It's a screenshot channel. Not a text channel. (Or gladiator pit)

[feral shell]

i don't see 1984 anywhere so.

[wispy cargo]

I Really would've preferred B

[native turret]

next update will add a car from 1984
all it does is catch on fire

[topaz summit]

I was -17 years old in 1984 what

[bold ice]

and it has a telescreen as infotainment

[feral shell]

and also blow's up for no reason and has no ABS

[lost siren]

1984 didn't exist

[wispy cargo]

it also dictates everyone

^ this channel

[topaz summit]

u asked for it so

[left violet]

This server*

[bold ice]

at least it isnt drama :)

[wispy cargo]

wait wtf even changed to attachment channels again

[topaz summit]

can someone link the drama that happened to cause this, I wanna read

[narrow cliff]

you can't add text to your attachments anymore

[jade terrace]

Yup

[lost siren]

Riiiioooot (don't)

[bold steppe]

Honestly.

I like this, actually gives use to reactions.

[wispy cargo]

fr? just remove the damn channel, idk why theyre so stubborn, literally

[topaz summit]

time to memorize all them letter reactions

[left violet]

Not yet

[narrow cliff]

it is pointless in #memes, when has there ever been drama

[severe hemlock]

Glad to hear!

[native turret]

it can be still used for its point so no reason to nuke

[feral shell]

a lot lol

[jade terrace]

in the past, it's gone now for the most part because of thing's we've done.

[topaz summit]

for how long lmfao

[wispy cargo]

the channel causes more drama than anything else, arguing over jpegs

[native turret]

yes, which is why you now cant talk there lol

[bold steppe]

I love the new idea now. its useful. but i ask of one thing. make it like 15 second cooldown?

[severe hemlock]

It doesn't anymore though, fixed now

[feral shell]

you can thank the people btw don't blame the mods and dev for doing their job

[topaz summit]

alr I liked the idea to get trusted role or something, where do I sign

[wispy cargo]

not even that, just make the channel cooldown like, 30 minutes or something, a lot easier and people wont really care to respond after 30 minutes

[severe hemlock]

Maybe later as the community is a bit overexcited right now

[left violet]

30 day channel slowmo.

[frail fractal]

30… minutes? Are you kidding me vibe?

[feral shell]

i stand by this

[wispy cargo]

i am for real

[lost siren]

365 day slowmo

[shut galleon]

30 min is a bit extreme

[native turret]

5 year cooldown

[feral shell]

1000 year slowmo

[mental pecan]

Hi, please keep this discussion constructive

🐨

[wispy cargo]

theres 6 hour slowmode, that's even worse tbh

[jade terrace]

Chuck best mod 2022!

[topaz summit]

I liked the idea of trusted role. aka being able to chat with messages in SC

[left violet]

You mean Chuck best at keeping mods locked in their basement and force them to work

[bold ice]

vcc role gets priveleges ⁉️

[bold steppe]

Once in a lifetime post only

[jade terrace]

Contributor is our "trusted" role where we allow people to use external emotes, we will not be adding the ability to talk in some channels to that.

[feral shell]

im not a mod and he trapped me but he feed's us well so.

[lost siren]

Better make that a useful post🤣

[topaz summit]

whats the quest for contributor role

[little locust]

Pure censorship in my opinion, instead of punishing individual users or removing their and only their possibility to access certain channels, if not, the whole server, everyone else to pay, the classic way a judicial system works, favours criminals but makes life hard to honest people.
I'm frankly shocked by the affirmation "if yall want to be able to talk in those channels, earn it", the right to free speech isn't something you earn, it's something that is guaranteed in any democratic society, unless we're in a dictatorship here?
So, there's drama, sure it's not a good thing, especially when it escalates into personal attacks, but is silencing all the people for the bad apples the solution?
Okay, so drama will move from screenshots to channels in which there is no rule that prevents to type alone, so what? Are you going to take these out too?
I absolutely disagree with the way this situation is being managed.

When it's about being able to talk freely I'm in the most serious self, I do understand the filter for swear words, I may joke about it but removing entirely the possibility to talk is insane.

[narrow cliff]

"Hello"

[mental pecan]

You need to find the basement and give us beer

[bold ice]

lvl 20 and a bribe

[jade terrace]

you get XP for every message sent except in a few channels, above level 20 or something like that get's the role automatically applied.

[topaz summit]

Im a certified forklift driver. anything else?

[mental pecan]

Are you called Klaus?

[bold steppe]

Bro took out the rule book 💀

[little locust]

Is that bad?

[jade terrace]

I have to remind you this is not a country.

[lost siren]

Oh god not discord xp grinds 💀

[bold ice]

automatically means ask for it
it isnt automatic

[wispy cargo]

i would say otherwise

[jade terrace]

there has been a few of 'em

[frail fractal]

hey, @jade terrace, would 20 coke zero cans do?

[feral shell]

ew

[jade terrace]

Coke? are you trying to get on my bad list /s

[topaz summit]

Klaidas, yes. anyways where can I check the level?

[bold steppe]

I only got the role because of quarantine lmao

[mental pecan]

#bot-commands

[narrow cliff]

in #bot-commands

[lost siren]

What about 20 pizza slices?

[bold ice]

i only got the role bc i unintentionally spam the hell out of #714429950765301791

[jade terrace]

also need the 🤖 role to use bot commands from #roles

[frail fractal]

pepsi then? what would you like

all i want is contributor

[jade terrace]

Well they'd be mouldy by the time they arrive.

[wispy cargo]

would a car tire do? 20 inch wheels included

[narrow cliff]

this is an other thing I don't understand why it is in place

[topaz summit]

💀

[jade terrace]

Bepsis? No thx.

[spring tulip]

You guys can talk all you want and this sort of feedback is great and is considered, but the idea of a screenshots channel being mostly used for discussions and occasionally deescalating into drama (despite our other mitigation attempts) is what we didn't like to see and the same goes for community members too.

There's room for improvement but there's also a way to bypass this and just use another channel if you want to actually discuss something

[lost siren]

I be on that discord grind for funny green role

[frail fractal]

what would you like

so picky smh my head

[little locust]

Elaborate, how does that invalidate my point, so this is not a country, but it's still a way to communicate for people from around the world, just because there isn't a "law book" we throw free speech in the toilet as if we aren't in a modern society?

[left violet]

Who wants green 🤢

purple BEST

[wispy cargo]

seriously though, i would actually advocate for an extended slowmode or just remove screenshots altogether, it's not working tbh

However, @jade terrace does a computer work for this bribe?

[bold steppe]

Overrated.

poop color

[spring tulip]

use another channel and have a civil chat, simple fix

[topaz summit]

what if there was only a single channel for EVERYTHING. imagine

[left violet]

I hope you don't get an extra side with your meal.

[little locust]

I see, but who guarantees that drama won't ensue in these channels too?

[wispy cargo]

what if all the channels were removed and it was only announcements?

[frail fractal]

if your poop's purple you've got more to worry about

[bold steppe]

Drama is fine to a extent. such as threatening.

[jade terrace]

3090 TI water cooled. /s

[feral shell]

tbh coke and Bepsis is not good dr pepper or mtn dew tho is a

[bold ice]

but no motherboard and faulty tubing

[narrow cliff]

only roles, that one seems to be very important

[topaz summit]

I can offer u 3080, 3070 Ti. 2x 1070 Ti's that I got in my pc rn

[jade terrace]

Bot's, a safety mesure to make sure they do not try take advantage of 'em

[spring tulip]

no one, it's gonna happen, but like mentioned before the screenshots one was a hotspot for this sort of stuff

[wispy cargo]

what about the 4090ti? Probably gonna drop soon

[frail fractal]

i can ship you half of one

consider it an RTX 1545

[jade terrace]

That's why we have moderator's.

[bold steppe]

yk my 1660 literally wants to die each time i take images

[jade terrace]

No thx.

[narrow cliff]

the attachement channels have moderators as well

[lost siren]

GIBE I NEED PERFORMENCE

[jade terrace]

Bro my 1060 3gb i'm borrowing off a friend cry's every time I start star citizen.

[frail fractal]

i have a 1650 and it's completely fine.

did you buy it off wish or something?

[rotund nest]

Basically. #screenshots and #automation have had drama for no real reason and the sheer amount of drama started in both channels is ludicrous.

[jade terrace]

we cannot realistically watch a channel 24/7

[wispy cargo]

Automation out of all the channels?

[feral shell]

wish i had the popcorn ready tbh :((

[bold steppe]

Nah its just reshade

[little locust]

So from what I'm understanding, screenshot channel has a higher probability of drama than other channels? But now that you removed the possibility to talk in these channels, won't users who can't keep bad things for themselves simply switch channel and start there? Which would make the drastic action taken in these channels useless?

[severe hemlock]

We understand a few of you may not like or agree with the change, but I urge you to look in #screenshots. There hasn't been any drama or passive aggressive comments in over half an hour, which was unheard of before the change especially considering how active the channel is at the moment

[feral shell]

yeah but the #off-topic isn't as fine as #screenshots is

[spring tulip]

the idea is the extra effort and need of changing channel will deter that, we'll see how things go in practice

[wispy cargo]

isnt it unnatural to switch channels to talk about something in some other channel

[bold steppe]

Hey, its like has prices rn. We hate it, we cant do anything about it.

[topaz summit]

there hasnt been because there literally cant be lol

[little locust]

Why are you sending screenshots here, what the hell?

[rotund nest]

(you know its funny that #game-discussion-1 has more drama then #off-topic )

[feral shell]

and that's surprising but also not tbh

[severe hemlock]

Yes, and there also hasn't been drama from #screenshots brought into any other channel from what I've seen. Oops, wrong quote

[wispy cargo]

why wont they just bring up the idea of deleting #screenshots? To me it benefits a whole lot of things.

[narrow cliff]

it is further up the list

[little locust]

Okay, I'm not often in these channels so I'm not directly affected, still the idea of removing the possibility to communicate for some stupid people is insane for me.
Hopefully it'll at least work.

[severe hemlock]

Because its a thriving channel now without drama and arguements

[topaz summit]

more like dying

[severe hemlock]

People can still enjoy the channel, now it just doesn't have others trying to ruin the experience

[wispy cargo]

When was the last time it was not filled with drama? People argue about jpegs all the time on there

[spring tulip]

We'll see how things go and consider it from there

[fast hinge]

Why not make a channel for screenshots discussion

[bold steppe]

tbh. this is good. its just something we have to deal with like gas prices.

[severe hemlock]

There isn't any problems there right now, which proves its working

[feral shell]

all i gotta say is don't blame the mods or dev for doing this. blame the people who can't control themselves (clearly).

[topaz summit]

I sold my car and I use public transport. so there goes that 😭

[narrow cliff]

if you delete it it won't make problems, too, so deleting it is a valid solution

[little locust]

But they should be affected, not us imo.

[wispy cargo]

deleting the whole channel in general would just work

[bold steppe]

Defeats the whole idea of this...

[severe hemlock]

Yes but also would delete a perfectly good channel

[rotund nest]

I saw the goof.

[left violet]

Because no one can talk.

[feral shell]

ever heard of the saying "if someone dose something bad they can ruin it for everyone else" or the whole bad apple with the good apples you can put it like that.

[topaz summit]

so like 60k people being sentenced for 50 ppl's doing, epic

[severe hemlock]

Big thumbs little screen

[wispy cargo]

It's not even good. For the past months or so it has been filled with drama, i'm sorry but it's far from good.

[severe hemlock]

It is now though

[feral shell]

i don't see any drama atm so i think its fine

[wispy cargo]

Doesn't exactly clear it's terrible reputation for being a mass drama fest (or was before they pulled the plug on messaging without attachs)

[severe hemlock]

The reputation will take time to change

[jade terrace]

most people are not active in big server's like this one, they do not care for the day to day operations like the few who are always active here.

[little locust]

Can I just, at least, know what kind of drama ensued that made you think that removing the possibility to type was worth it?

[bold steppe]

Wdym... perfectly good channel..........

[severe hemlock]

Perfectly good from now on

[feral shell]

if you looked on #screenshots drama would happen almost everyday

[jade terrace]

Ever since i became a mod the other year & later joined Beam #screenshots was the worst channel for drama next to #general & #game-discussion-1

[topaz summit]

would have been much better to deal with those who cause the drama than to shut the whole thing

[severe hemlock]

It was pretty much nonstop drama, arguing, and passive aggressiveness before

[wispy cargo]

People will always work around measures like this. It's not exactly good. (much like what i've said here instead of being narcisstic)

[feral shell]

then hit em with the big fat MUTE

[rotund nest]

To add, the amount of people begging or trying to start a flame war was insane.

[little locust]

Okay but what specific kind? Like, in general, what would people tell to each other?

[spring tulip]

we did, but then there was always more

[severe hemlock]

Please feel free to report them when they do

[spring tulip]

further mitigations we tried helped a little but not enough

[wispy cargo]

not really easy if you're not a mod (besides reporting)

[fresh schooner]

and there will be more, even with all these measures

[feral shell]

you can go to #support and tell them or @ them although i would not ping some

[narrow cliff]

so we should report about every second screenshot right now?

[severe hemlock]

Its like trying to kill weeds one by one, this solution was to just mow the lawn and only allow grass to grow

[topaz summit]

the grass aint growing

[wispy cargo]

tbh the channel #screenshots is a lost cause

[severe hemlock]

There is no reason to as its calm there right now

The most drama is actually coming from this channel right now

[narrow cliff]

also we can't report without writing text

[native turret]

you can report in a diff channel if needed

[severe hemlock]

Pretty sure it still works

[topaz summit]

who wanna make bets which channel is next 👀

[severe hemlock]

Plus different channels as stated

[feral shell]

you can go into #support or @ them lol...

[rotund nest]

#screenshots and #automation All got the treatment.

[wispy cargo]

basically drama everywhere if beamcord changes something and the people would be bound to do feedback, you can't expect everyone to write no feedback

[narrow cliff]

fanart, or videos

[native turret]

you

[little locust]

^ ?

[fast hinge]

Urmom

[jade terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/kyoshi-gif-25351466

[severe hemlock]

Thats why we aren't cracking down on any arguing or drama about the issue

[feral shell]

currently running away from Shiny.

[severe hemlock]

We know that its a big change and that its going to upset some

I say its better to let it out now and get your opinions across

[jade terrace]

^

[spring tulip]

Wouldn't even call this drama, just expected feedback (like when the sunburst was updated and some people hated it lmao)

[severe hemlock]

Yeah

[wispy cargo]

knowing how i could get warned for basically anything, i probably wouldnt.

however, wouldnt a change this big be in announcements?

[topaz summit]

that would cause drama, better be silent

[severe hemlock]

Announcements aren't really necessary for this sort of thing imo

[feral shell]

that's how you prank everyone into thinking 0.25 is here

[severe hemlock]

Not up to me though

[little locust]

May I just know what kind of drama usually happened in these channels?

[wispy cargo]

aslong as they have eyes. then they wont think its 0.25

(alright i think that was far fetched)

[narrow cliff]

you know there are two different announcement channels?

[feral shell]

thats why i was sayin to put it into #community-announcements (nvm forget i said that)

[wispy cargo]

the community one is used for beamng related things iirc, nothing beamcord related

[severe hemlock]

People arguing about mods, about stolen mods, about brodozers, about private mods, and demanding to give private mods etc

[spring tulip]

the usual beam related stuff, meshlap and private mods etc

[narrow cliff]

you could introduce a meshslap channel, lol

[topaz summit]

alright 200iq question, why is drama bad. just let it be 💀

[fast hinge]

You get that on loads of servers but you can still talk in the screenshots channel

[little locust]

That sounds stupid, so like they were complaining about someone sending a screenshot of something that was a meshslap or similar?
Also demanding private mod, sounds like you don't know what a "no" is.

[wispy cargo]

is the ban involving the Covet FBK Thing still enforced? That one livery

[severe hemlock]

Its unwelcoming

[rotund nest]

Inst that just #automation ?

[feral shell]

because it get's worse if they keep going on lol

[narrow cliff]

it can hurt people and escalate

[topaz summit]

im about to reach that level 20 while talking nonsense in here lol

[spring tulip]

it looks bad, people in this community know well enough about it and its not nice to just have negativity be allowed

[jade terrace]

all cars will have eyes like the cars movie /s

[feral shell]

although entertaining and funny sometimes it makes people or server's (even games) look bad and you don't want that look or that to be said about you

[topaz summit]

I got a basement

[wispy cargo]

already been done if you live in london

[little locust]

Ik the saying "words hurt more than knives" but hell people, you can't get offended by a stranger on the internet that is probably a kid trying to prove his superiority, just let it go, leave it.

[spring tulip]

if it was so easy for 60k people to understand that and just let things be we wouldn't even be discussing this right now

[feral shell]

"sticks and stones may break my bones but your words can't hurt me." and modern day society is not what it was in 2012.

[little locust]

Signs of communication in #screenshots, ban.

[fast hinge]

LOL

[jade terrace]

Dictionary's hurt if thrown and they have lots of words

[surreal kestrel]

???

[feral shell]

yes, and i had a bruise for a week

[bold ice]

how out of the loop can you be

[wispy cargo]

beamcord's new censorship measure to prevent drama

[jade terrace]

Yes, that is intended.

read pins

[narrow cliff]

bruh, how could you have missed that

[little locust]

Look, there are people who post screenshots in #screenshots for a living, they don't have time for other stuff!

[surreal kestrel]

It's directed to people who argue on #screenshots not me

[feral shell]

only because its not you doesn't mean anything the people who argue ruin it.

[bold ice]

doesnt mean youre exempt

[narrow cliff]

but hurts everyone, this is what we are discussing about for the last half hour

[severe hemlock]

Its directed to everyone but a result of others arguing and causing problems

[little locust]

Yeah, it should've been ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade terrace]

as time goes on & less drama happens we're open to changing things, but as for now it's staying as-is.

[wispy cargo]

the world doesnt revolve round you

[topaz summit]

is there a reminder bot for 30 days, thanks 💀

[fast hinge]

There is also a chance that the drama will shift to dms

[feral shell]

its always been like that lol

[surreal kestrel]

*searches translator in google because my english isn't perfect

[fast hinge]

Well then it will be worse

[feral shell]

just report them like you do in the sever easy

[spring tulip]

#screenshots is image-only for now, you can post an image but you can't have any text written with it, this applies to everyone

[wispy cargo]

is it temporary?

[narrow cliff]

yesn't, but probably no

[feral shell]

yeah, when our behavior is better lol

[spring tulip]

we don't know, will see how things go and consider other alternatives later on

[surreal kestrel]

Thank you for a propper explanation

[jade terrace]

you're welcome.

[wispy cargo]

thanks for an explanation that does not sound half-assed

[tidal heron]

Tbh i like image only, it makes the channel cleaner and less drama lol

[feral shell]

LJ has smart point

[lost siren]

Ban images in screenshot channel 🤣

[spring tulip]

it's happened, i'm just waiting to see if someone actually bothers to argue through image text so i can just completely lose faith in that channel lmao

[left violet]

Less drama in THAT channel. Can't say the same for all the other channels unfortunately.

[tidal heron]

Make every channel image only, problem solved 😎

[left violet]

You've never moderated a server before have you

[wispy cargo]

make every channel air-only

I will better not visit this chat more if somebody must call me "out of the loop"

[native turret]

Honestly that’d be fine

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[narrow cliff]

If it would be fine for you you don't need that server. So what is your point of being here?

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[narrow cliff]

This was to the guy above you

[native turret]

Let me clarify. I think that some channels are more prone to drama than others. Tbh the servers that are more niche have less drama. This server is just a bit too much of a melting pot

@narrow cliff
So in other words I enjoy the server, but it wouldn’t offend me if it closed because I’m in other servers that are more chill

[severe hemlock]

Thats easier said than done. This solution works, I haven't seen any issues in the channel since and requires minimal input from moderators.

[frail fractal]

more mods wouldn’t do anything good if they keep to this style of moderation

we need quicker action, rather than just leaving it until it’s too late, taking drastic measures, getting people annoyed than repeating the cycle.

we can have a laugh here but this is getting horrible. we can’t just live with a server that you mods are trying to make better by only actually taking action once every few weeks, and leaving people to sort themselves out the rest of the time without even much as a warning.

[severe hemlock]

They are bypassing it because they think its funny. They'll get bored and we will likely stop seeing things there by the end of the weekend

[frail fractal]

they’re bypassing it because they see the need to as you’ve got rid of the only other way they can actually comment or say stuff. they’re not kids, they won’t get bored of it, they’ll only stop doing it when they can actually type in a box like the platform was designed to do.

people shouldn’t have to use annoying bypasses to simply use a server.

[little locust]

Hire me 🙂

So I can all of you 😈

[primal junco]

at this point I think that every section of the server outside of support and announcements is bad for the server's wellbeing

[severe hemlock]

The thing is, they have to follow our rules. They tend to mostly be a younger group that are currently putting words in their screenshots, and every time we've made a change have gotten bored of using exploits to bypass it

This happens every time, its nothing new

[narrow cliff]

It is also protest right now

[severe hemlock]

Thats all

[frail fractal]

drama only happens due to lack of punishment in the moment, people will just carry on arguing and arguing if they don’t even get a warning for doing it.

we don’t need to have no text in screenshots, we need warnings. you guys have lives, yes, but you chose to volunteer for moderator, and should be using those privileges when these things happen, not hours or days after.

[severe hemlock]

We mute and ban people and then everyone gets mad at us for doing so

[primal junco]

why are younger people here in the first place if the forum's age restriction is 16 though

[severe hemlock]

Different host countries means different laws

[native turret]

discord is 13+
we cant control that really

[frail fractal]

then change the way you do things

if it’s happening again and again your ways of stopping it clearly aren’t working

of course people’ll get annoyed when they get banned or muted, just ignore them

[severe hemlock]

We did change the way we do things, and it seems to be working great

[frail fractal]

but it’s also clearly pissing people off if you’ve even been looking at the other channels in the server

[severe hemlock]

There is nothing "unsafe" about the change so idk what you mean

[severe hemlock]

People get pissed off no matter what we do, thats just how it is

[frail fractal]

then change the way you do things

[severe hemlock]

Either we mute someone for causing drama "bad mod"

[native turret]

I have been reported for telling people not to be mean
literally anything we do will get people mad

[severe hemlock]

We make a change to the system so less people get muted and banned, and "bad mod"

[primal junco]

I mean this server is most likely filled with children, how are you supposed to control a bunch of 12-13 year olds that are always trying to prove each other something

[native turret]

you control them like kids, taking away whatever causes them to act up

[severe hemlock]

Nothing

[fresh schooner]

You do have to see which group of people get mad with every change, because not anyone crying is right

[severe hemlock]

But we would have to mute about 4 people every day at least

[primal junco]

that's just the issue of letting less mature people into places they really shouldn't be in just for the sake of not turning the place into a dumpsterfire

[severe hemlock]

This current solution while being exploited, is only being exploited in protest of the change. So far there has not been any fights at all, so its working

[frail fractal]

OR… just use your bloody moderator privileges and mute, warn and ban them. They’ll get annoying, you’ll have to warn a lot of people, but that’s just part of the course of punishment for actions. People will get annoyed if you take away their privileges, because of course they will, but you need to use your privileges and target specific people if you want to stop problems. Don’t target everyone because one person’s generating drama.

[native turret]

it should be noted too... we dont want to have to mute people, that should be 2nd in the reaction list below 'make it so it doesnt get to that point in the first place'

because by the time we have to mute, its already gone wrong

someone is upset and someone is getting yelled at

[severe hemlock]

Because muting people is not the best solution

[native turret]

muting cant undo someones emotions

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[frail fractal]

warn them then, don’t mute them.

[native turret]

some people literally dont care

I have people get upset over warns as well

[rotund nest]

It's not just one person. About 30% of the most active users have started drama. Warns have failed and mutes have as well.

Do work though.

[severe hemlock]

Your solution is "call the police after someone robs your house" while our solution is to just lock the door

[true fern]

Maybe just get rid of moderators and let people do whatever they want. I am sure that would work out well

[frail fractal]

okay? just make it a warning count basis then, where 3 warnings counts towards a mute.

[rotund nest]

Then the drama has happened.

[native turret]

you mean like we already do

it says so in the rules

first a warn, then a mute

[rotund nest]

With some exemptions*.

[native turret]

well of course

[true fern]

How many warnings to get banned

[severe hemlock]

Most of the people starting drama are the popular ones too, we get rid of all of them and you start having problems from all their friends

[bold ice]

if people don’t listen to the mutes and warnings why are they allowed access to the server

[native turret]

but that is missing the whole point

we dont want to have to get there in the first place

[native turret]

usually they get delt with pretty quick

[frail fractal]

I’ve not seen an actual drama creator get a warning in forever personally

this is getting nowhere, what’s the point in telling you how to improve your moderation and you guys just arguing back with excuse after excuse after excuse, while the server deteriorates further and further

[severe hemlock]

You have not really explained how to improve our moderation at all

[native turret]

we are telling you why we did this,
its because we dont want to have to deal with the fire when we can make sure it doesnt even start in the first place

[left violet]

If they're not listening to warns or mutes, they shouldn't even be here. I know you don't really want to get there and whatever, but in my experience, that causes the most drama. Removing them is the only good option. You're gonna get backlash no matter what you do, so there's no point in trying to think of anything else. Just wanted to put my say in, enjoy the rest of your days, evenings, etc.

[native turret]

why call the firefighters when you can just not light the house on fire

[severe hemlock]

You've just said to "change what you do" which is exactly what we've done

[native turret]

the house burning doesnt just hurt the arson that gets arrested... the person now has a burnt house lol

so we do react when it goes wrong
but we also dont want it to go wrong in the first place

[rotund nest]

Moderation actions cannot be discussed in public.

[frail fractal]

I told you to take action during the drama, not after it, and you clearly didn’t listen.

Anyway the burnt down house has already been moved away and the plot is for sale… any takers?

[severe hemlock]

We already do that

[native turret]

yee we do that lol

[true fern]

Have we considered banning everyone who slightly breaks the rules? I think that would really be a good way to moderate.

[rotund nest]

I did that today. TWICE. your clearly not looking.

[rotund nest]

Like the halo discord?

[native turret]

if someone keeps making drama we do deal with it as needed

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[severe hemlock]

We are tired of having to run in the house with a water bucket every time someone lights a match

[frail fractal]

alright, alright, your point is proven

[severe hemlock]

Instead we just take the matches away

[bold ice]

imo mutes should be more used
idm you guys’ moderation tactics, you’re all doing what you think is best

[rotund nest]

(fyi I don't have a opinion on this "issue" since I like slapping people with a , I just wish people would use the report function or you know ping @ moderator)

[rotund nest]

I think I've muted 6 people today?

[bold ice]

alright then :)

[true fern]

Wow

[severe hemlock]

I muted one and I was only online for 20 minutes at that point

[native turret]

I yeeted multiple people over screenshots yesturday

[severe hemlock]

Because muting people is not enough

[native turret]

the void consumes a lot that people never remember

[frail fractal]

I’m sorry, I just got a little heated about this issue since I didn’t ever feel like enough was being done

you guys do a lot for the server, I appreciate that, I just didn’t like the way you dealt with #screenshots and couldn’t quite get my point across right

I’m sorry

[severe hemlock]

Its a waste of time though

[native turret]

what happens when some of us are not around to mute though

thats one of the issues people forget

[severe hemlock]

You mute 1 and 2 more appear doing the same thing

[true fern]

Hire more mods

[native turret]

we have a lot of mods

but mods are human

like we have 3-4 mods on at any time at least

but ya know
jobs
food
bathroom
entertainment

hopefully not all at once

[frail fractal]

the higher the moderator count doesn’t equal the higher the chances of having someone online at any one time

[native turret]

also the more moderator assumes they are even looking in that channel at the time

when im chillin and playing I check in but I dont look at every chat every time

[bold ice]

ez solution 6000 moderators
1 for every 100 members

[frail fractal]

hiring more mods simply wouldn’t work to help this + we’ve got like 20 channels here

make the whole server, all 60k, have admin privileges

so viel albtraum, so viel wahn!

[feral shell]

oof this is still going on? and also it got heated fast when i was reading things

[true fern]

Ok so hire enough mods for every channel and from every time zone so someone is constantly watching. We should also consider telling moderators to stop with the “bathroom breaks” and “eating”. Moderating the BeamNG Server is serious and if the moderators are taking breaks during their shifts they should be fired. No eating. No drinking. No bathroom. No other apps open during the shifts. This solves our issue.

[severe hemlock]

I mean its like we are supposed to hold a water bucket and stand next to a kid holding matches just in case instead of taking the matches away

[native turret]

ok now I know you just trolling lmao

[bold ice]

just say @nocturne ice is the only moderator

[native turret]

that can help
but wouldnt fix it

[feral shell]

the more help the better and less of an issue cuz only three of you guys are on atm

[severe hemlock]

Not always though

[bold ice]

build an army
one patrolling each channel 24/7, on rotation

[frail fractal]

you guys have seatbelts in your cars right?

you realise how well they hold you in your car in a crash? why not stick one of them to your office/gaming chair and permanently plug it in, meaning you can never leave for so-called ‘bathroom breaks’ or ‘work’ and permanently place yourself in the most important spot: discord, on the BeamNG server, permanently moderating the server 24/7

• seatbelt protection so you will never be hurt

[native turret]

Too many cooks spoil the pot n all

[severe hemlock]

Too many active mods at the same time and we start tripping over each other

Trying to solve the same issue etc

[native turret]

Hiring more mods assumes a bit of an issue too...
That there are enough qualified people applying

not everyone should be a mod

[severe hemlock]

(There really aren't many)

We like to take a quality over quantity approach to hiring mods

[true fern]

I don’t think it’s super easy to get mods. I mean… no offense, but moderating takes time and effort and you aren’t really getting paid. I can’t imagine there’s many people who are both not stupid and actually want to moderate

[frail fractal]

@bold ice for moderator

[bold ice]

oooo spicy, multiple moderators watching a channel at a time
5 warnings for every warning
1 hour mutes accidentally stack up

I’ll be honest that’d be absolutely hilarious
1 person trips up and a whole firing squad arrives

[feral shell]

i couldn't be one anyways way to much stress

[native turret]

I mean usually there is but this community has a history of drama

so we got a lot more issues

[severe hemlock]

It doesn't work exactly like that, but yeah similar situations happen very frequently for us

[frail fractal]

you wouldn’t be stressed if you didn’t actually do your job as a moderator

there’s no money involved, is there?

[bold ice]

im too busy to be a moderator sadly
I’d very much apply (and be serious about it)

[feral shell]

sometimes idk im not a mod don't ask me

[severe hemlock]

No, its a volunteer position

[true fern]

Don’t you have to be 18 too?

[severe hemlock]

Yes

[frail fractal]

I’m kidding lmfao

()

[native turret]

it means we are kinda running out of qualified people lol

[bold ice]

steal some Forum moderators
it’s free!

[native turret]

so we have to do what we need to

[severe hemlock]

A good percentage of those who apply are involved in a lot of the drama

[native turret]

normally this count should be fine

but this community is insane with its gatekeeping, attacks, etc

and it has a full history if it

[feral shell]

sometimes a nice community but god when it goes to hell you better hold on.

[frail fractal]

@bold ice for moderator wen

he does not do drama, he does not partake in admin abuse, he does not ‘1984’

[bold ice]

finn I literally said a few messages up im too busy for it- id apply if I wasn’t

[frail fractal]

@bold ice for mod when

[feral shell]

see i would apply but one my spelling horrible for two uhhhh

[true fern]

Why would you want to apply if you don’t get paid

[bold ice]

and as I say, if I was genuinely a moderator I’d be serious about it
im a moderator in some other servers already lol

[frail fractal]

(shuddair is not only in it for the money)

[feral shell]

why not tbh besides it was my dream at one point and also its one of my favorite games so i mean i have the WILL to do it but i just. i don't know.

[true fern]

I need corolla money I can’t spend time babysitting for free when I could be out working for money

[severe hemlock]

Its more of a thing you do out of care

[feral shell]

you can have a job and do it at the same time lol its just you gotta check in every once in awhile

[native turret]

as it should be

cuz otherwise you can get some bad people lol

[true fern]

Yeah I mean I can’t imagine it’s that hard of work. I just don’t think I’d want to do it. I don’t really care about people being stupid enough to do a good job anyway

[native turret]

its harder mentally than physically

you see some... stuff

xD

[feral shell]

sadly

[severe hemlock]

I have a full time job, this is just a thing I do when I can because I care about what happens to this place

[native turret]

Im at work rn

[bold ice]

modding takes over most of my free time, so I’d probs either have to do less modding or barely even moderate if I joined the moderation team

[native turret]

I mean, we are moderators not recruiters

[feral shell]

yeah i tried modding and failed

[frail fractal]

don’t be so harsh, clev

[true fern]

Aw man look it really doesn’t matter they work for free

[native turret]

what we do is moderate so... we moderate

[severe hemlock]

And the solution is still working great

So I don't see the point

[frail fractal]

except those loopholes that are making it not work great

[feral shell]

basically mods are super man always(sometimes) watching and when someone need help they do they're job.

[native turret]

The loopholes have yet to cause an issue, and when they do they get closed

[frail fractal]

I can’t say I wasn’t part of that

[severe hemlock]

The loophole is not causing problems

People are not arguing or fighting with it

And a majority of the posts don't have text in them

[tidal heron]

Its working currently, that was back when it was first introduced

[native turret]

^

[feral shell]

besides they're wasting space on their pc so

[severe hemlock]

Where

[native turret]

where at?

if you are seeing fights and arguments, report it!

[severe hemlock]

Please ping us or report when you see it

[native turret]

we cant deal with stuff if we dont know about it

[severe hemlock]

Otherwise we can miss things easily

[true fern]

Yeah where I love arguing online

[frail fractal]

@moder-

[feral shell]

i still don't see any arguing tbh

[native turret]

I dont see any fighting or arguing here, I see a professional discussion

[frail fractal]

this is the third time you’ve brought up this point, it’s been explained to you already why it wouldn’t work, why are you keeping on bringing it up?

[feral shell]

i see a agreement's and one disagreement. and starting to be rude soo.

[true fern]

Maybe hiring less mods is the solution..? The less moderators, the less people will misbehave because they know the mods are overworked and they will feel bad about arguing.

[frail fractal]

people who argue couldn’t give two craps about the moderators lmfao

[severe hemlock]

We have it handled now though

[feral shell]

but how could you trust people? besides half the server is nothing but kids.

[frail fractal]

saying something 3 times won’t change anyone’s opinions on it though

[true fern]

But saying it a fourth time might

[severe hemlock]

The fact is that nothing changes no matter how many mods are watching and clearing drama

We had to just get rid of the vehicle people were using to start the drama in the first place, and now there is no drama

[feral shell]

bruh im sure they already have a verification system for that.

[true fern]

Actually what is the vehicle, and what are the matches? Y’all keep bringing them up but what is it?

[severe hemlock]

Allowing people to type in #screenshots and other channels

It was just asking for problems

[frail fractal]

if you think that, it gives me concerns about the actual skill of the mods here

[native turret]

The community is drama centric, thats just how this community is

[feral shell]

i think the mods have alot of skill and im not being based

[native turret]

this isnt the worst it has been, this isnt the best it has been

[frail fractal]

don’t get me wrong, you guys are great, but if that’s Harkin’s stance on these issues it worries me

[severe hemlock]

It was too easy and convienent to bully people in the screenshots channel

Now that people will have to put in effort it will almost entirely end

[true fern]

That is true if I have to put in effort to insult annoying people I usually don’t

[native turret]

Harkin isnt wrong though, this was done to cut the issue at the source

[severe hemlock]

We were constantly putting out fires instead of fixing the issue thats starting the fire

[feral shell]

we should just make a tab where people just go after each other to let em fight it out in that tab till they're done if they say anything horrible or hurtful BIG

[frail fractal]

#fight-club

[native turret]

That still causes people to get hurt, that is what we are trying to avoid

we dont want to come in and deal with it after the damage. we dont want any damage

[frail fractal]

the channel where people go in but don’t ever come out alive

(this is good for the economy as we get rid of drama and the people causing it by their own actions, removing the need for moderators)

[feral shell]

well have them consent to doing the whole "roasting" tab but tbh it'd make them tired out and they'd wanna stop and its smart-ish

[frail fractal]

This is not the channel for that

• nice job pirating the game and revealing your friend to everyone

[feral shell]

uh bruh. you sure you wanna do that cuz thats ILLEGAL

[native turret]

Congratz, your friend committed a crime!

[feral shell]

just buy the game bro lmao and tell your friend to buy the game smh. that can be a big Sue and jail time

[frail fractal]

right, this is why we need #fight

[true fern]

That is very unfair you should beat him up

[feral shell]

he did it illegally so be glad you did it legally but uh you should tell your friend to maybe buy the game if the dev's wanted to they can take legal action bro.

[severe hemlock]

Your friend committed the crime of piracy, both illegal and not allowed to be discussed here

[feral shell]

and also you can face jail time as well not only that but sued. also what you said was not very.. intelligent for saying what you said. (and you said that in front of the mods not very smart.)

[true fern]

I mean I don’t think anyones gonna go after him for it but kinda rude to pirate, especially a smaller game like beam.

[feral shell]

if the dev's wanted to they could but tbh they seem chill-ish about it although it is rude. (they deserve our money)

[true fern]

I mean they could but I don’t think they’ve ever done it and I don’t think it’s worth the effort for one person

[feral shell]

yeah, i mean that is overkill but sometimes it can happen and tbh its just best to do that to the websites that do that

bruh lol

[kind jolt]

Huh

[frail fractal]

if we do not get a channel named #fight within the next year this server will be in ruins

[rotund nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ei8ZREI9k

[feral shell]

that'd fit it perfectly

[native turret]

But seriously, more mods is important, especially during the early morning hours (around noonish for Euro). There was a guy the other day that got on #game-discussion-1 and started insulting everyone, I pinged moderators twice before anything was done.

[tidal heron]

Yeah ive noticed that too, need some southern hemisphere guys

[mental pecan]

Im not sure whether applications are open, but if you know someone who is over 18, willing to sign an NDA and has the right mindset to moderate, please let Chuck or Leeloo know

[little locust]

What's NDA?

Nevermind, just checked: "non-disclosure agreement".

[void heart]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[bold ice]

moderators are beamng staff so get access to more future info about the game

[bold steppe]

a like the new screenshot stuff

[mental pecan]

Well, that and the user info, discord actions etc etc. That's the difference between a normal discord server and an official one

[lost siren]

Moderators get sneaky peeks on the new update

[severe hemlock]

Not really, no

Its a volunteer position to keep the community nice and welcoming

[narrow cliff]

But you know something, about an hour before the last update all slow modes increased

[lost siren]

Moderator privileges....

[native turret]

attempt to keep the community nice and welcoming

[spring tulip]

lowering channel to 15s slowmode temporarily, we really would like to hear some feedback on this to benefit both us and the community

[native turret]

I think that the diversity in this community is what makes it hard to manage. Such a clash. On the one hand, you have the immature kids that like it just for the crashing. On the other hand, you have serious drivers. But then there’s also people who like offroading, drifting, etc. There’s just so much diversity, and I think that maybe if there were channels that tailored more to specific parts of the community that would help a lot more with the drama. Into crashing? Don’t go to driving channels. Into casual driving? Don’t go to racing channels. I think that would help with a lot of the drama, as this game has a very varied fanbase

[spring tulip]

also about #screenshots , we see it's been super chill now and in the short term might consider some other changes i wont get into right now. Is it not better without some needless comments that some lead to drama though?

[spring tulip]

so more specific channels for the beamng channel category basically? might be something i could suggest actually

[native turret]

Yes, and I’ve noticed that if people want conversation about their pictures they just use #game-discussion-1

[native turret]

The most chill server I’ve ever been in is the Neilogical server. Because he appeals to a very specific part of the community, people who enjoy the crashing, but driving as well

For example, in Rocket League, there’s a lot of toxicity in games, but the Discord is fairly chill because everyone has the same objective. A game like BeamNG allows for much more variety, it divides people.

[spring tulip]

will make a suggestion and see how things go

[native turret]

Another suggestion might be to leave #screenshots as is, but have conversation channels like #racing #crashes #sim-drivibg, etc

I think it’s best to leave #screenshots text-free. If somebody has a question about a mod or something they can ping in another channel

[spring tulip]

as i mentioned it'll stay like that in the short term, we might try some other things and see how that goes but for now the current changes aren't fully concrete

[pale viper]

NDAs are through which the parties agree not to disclose any information covered by the agreement. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties, typically to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets. As such, an NDA protects non-public business information.

So this means through the NDAs, info that is only for devs remain in their circle - nothing should get to the public.

[mental pecan]

It's mainly because of the memes anyways

[spring tulip]

what happens in {REDACTED} stays in {REDACTED}

[jade terrace]

Bro, don't leak the fire memes we have going on

[native turret]

Uh oh
I don’t mind. Then again, somebody had to explain to me what kekw is

[true fern]

What is it

[native turret]

Some Spanish guy who lost his job as a dishwasher

[jade terrace]

it was funny because of the way he laughed & how many people took him laughing and put other text over it to make it look like he was laughing at something else.

[jade terrace]

Moderators do not get access to early stuff unfortunately, They help out because they want to & they love the community, I can say this as both when I was a moderator & after joining BeamNG.

[lost siren]

Ah ok. Was half joking half wondering

[bold ice]

user > moderator > dev pipeline

[jade terrace]

Mods to have a big impact on the discord, often they try, or ping me to what I think about some changes on the discord & how best to implement them, we also sometimes play games together and post memes to each other, safe to say that we all get along, if they're unhappy they soon let me know XD

[mental pecan]

We just make sure Chuck works for his money

[lost siren]

What about the mods in Chuck's basement

[left violet]

That information is not disclosed.

[mental pecan]

Im under NDA

We can't reveal it whether yes or no, sorry

Why has this become a thing xD

A channel specially made to discuss lore? Or we can just use the general channels?

[native turret]

hi

[spring tulip]

Please use another channel for discussions, feedback channels have a long slowmode for a reason

[livid charm]

Very stupid rule.

[little locust]

They say you can switch channel if you want to discuss something, hopefully they won't take these out too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[buoyant gull]

you guys are aware that people can just

It makes sense to limit channels to messages with attachments only, but attempting to entirely remove text is essentially useless (see above).
Doing this (applies specifically in #automation) also results in the poster not being able to give any context as to what they're posting, if it's supposed to resemble a real life car etc.
People will always find a way to get around bans, if you guys truly want law and order everywhere you might as well entirely remove #screenshots. It's one of the most active channels after all.

[native turret]

Yeah they could
and they were
but we have been drama free in that channel since that rule was implemented which is unheard of... so it sounds like it actually is working

No pings or dms about screenshot drama have happened so far

[mighty vapor]

Beam.MP dont work for me, is there going to be a official multiplayer option in the future? im sure this question has already been asked but im new here

[little locust]

You're in the wrong channel to ask that and no, an official multiplayer isn't planned.

[mighty vapor]

@little locust thank you

[inland prawn]

can you not attach multiple photos to one message at #game-feedback ? I can't seem to do it on there specifically

[amber shard]

I could do it no problem

[spark yoke]

You guys can't even moderate the actual forum. Like we needed more discord mods......

[native turret]

different mod team

discord mods do not moderate the forum

[rotund nest]

To add to the above we discord mods can't mod the forums.

[native turret]

not everyone here is on the forums or knows how to moderate a forum and stuff like that

[swift inlet]

idk what channel to post this in, but why do you have to be 18?

It doesn't work that way, there has to be a good amount of Finnish people that have an influence on BeamNG to make the addition of a national chat reasonable.

Just going to say that at this rate, it might end up being better to not have a meme channel. People will figure out a way around that too I'm sure.

[rotund nest]

tbh memes has been the best popular channel

[unborn citrus]

I mean yes it may be popular but that shouldn't be the reason to keep it I honestly don't see the purpose of the channel other then it keeps other channels clean of crap

[warm star]

How old do you have to be to play beamng

[serene wolf]

Any age really.
At least you can have a 12 year old play with a virtual Supra.

[left dagger]

you can be a newborn, nothing bad about a sandbox game with realistic physics

[bronze spruce]

There isn't really an ESRB rating for the game other than signing onto the forums and being in the discord server (on discord in general).

[feral shell]

Okay I got an idea for the server we need a troll face emoji like a pigeon troll face emoji and we need the nerd emoji as the BeamNG.drive's logo for a emoji

[left violet]

Just curious.

Are we allowed to edit text onto screenshots as long as its only some sort of caption describing the image and not to talk to people and such.

[serene wolf]

Yes.

[jade terrace]

13 to abide by steams, Humble bundle TOS to have an account yourself, & to participate on discord 13 also but 16 on the forum.

[warm star]

Damn, I'm a year to young to be on the forums

[bold ice]

if you cant talk in #screenshots why is the slowmode still a minute long

[glad karma]

to prevent spam maybe

[potent brook]

I'd like to be able to get xp in any channel

[glad coral]

13 years is a COPPA thing. Everyone wanting to do business in US have to follow it

[little locust]

The XP you get is by "contributing" to the game, so sharing your opinions, feedbacks, talking about the game, cars, maps, speculation and so on.
Which you can do in specific channels.

[potent brook]

Then why not give warnings to the people talking about beamng in general chat? since its off topic, you can go to specific channels to do it

[bronze spruce]

just make chat channels dedicated to beamng only. bam problem solved. this is a joke don't shame me pls.

[little locust]

You should be able to talk anywhere about Beamng because this is a Beamng sever, and simply muting people for talking off topic in Beamng channels is too serious.

[potent brook]

so back to my point
why not give xp in those channels when beamng is the topic anyways?

[little locust]

Because these channels aren't made specifically to talk about Beamng, if you talk about it, good, if you don't, you're allowed to.
It's up to you to remember that if you want to earn XP that you should go where you're supposed and rewarded for talking about Beamng.

[potent brook]

so basically. people shouldnt be treated equally in general chat and game discussion? considering you get rewarded for talking in one and not the other?

[little locust]

Let's be honest here, #off-topic would an XP farming place since you could literally talk about anything and get XP, unless you know a system to differentiate a conversation about Beamng, are you able to? I don't think so, so the current system is fine as it is, talk about Beamng in its dedicated channels and talk about anything you want in other channels (but don't get XP) there is no argument about inequality but just practicality.

[potent brook]

but as of now there is plenty of people being off topic in game discussion, they wont be stopped unless there are moderators there 24/7. so i dont really understand your point. the xp farming happens in game discussion instead of general

i wont argue more with you, its not your choice in the end. its a staff decision.

[glad karma]

Most of the time if it’s off-topic in game discussion it derived from a beamng conversation

[tawdry ridge]

What happened all the channels were locked

[little locust]

Sure, I was offering you a reason to why your suggestion won't happen, but you do seem to find excuses.
And I agree with @glad karma .

[native turret]

that can happen if you get a mute or similar, did you happen to get one of those?

[tawdry ridge]

I'm unsure, I looked at my profile and i didn't see any other roles apart from my two currently assigned roles and I don't remember doing anything in the last few hours that would have assigned any punishable behavior, I just logged on and everything was locked.

[native turret]

the bot dms you if you did

[potent brook]

i dont agree with him
but well well

[rotund nest]

The xp gain has a time limit. This limit is to prevent spam.

[potent brook]

true

[little locust]

Thank you for telling me that, it does explain my slow gain of XP 🤣, I do still stand by my point, but I'm not the one taking decisions.

[left violet]

Couldve been a discord moment. I've had it before. All channels were " locked " for me, but they weren't, just discord being idiotic.

is that not quite extreme for a word that isn't even considered a curse word?

[cursive thorn]

Why even bother
I'm willing to bet most people in here are adults, and those who aren't know of such words anyway

[crisp atlas]

[jade terrace]

depending on the situation the bot does some tasks automatically.

[surreal kestrel]

So...
Feneex told me when I have more than 20lvl I should request for the Contributor role.
Is it true?

[buoyant gull]

Usually you should get the role automatically but if you don't you can just ask for it

[little locust]

No there's no system in place to automatically give a role to someone who's reached level 20, so you do have to ask to a moderator for it.

[surreal kestrel]

So...
May I get the Contributor role?

[buoyant gull]

:man_shrugging_tone2:

[little locust]

Okay, I didn't know, all the people I saw reaching level 20 always requested the role to a moderator.

[jade terrace]

That was probably at the time the bot was borked.

[jade terrace]

Done.

[surreal kestrel]

Thanks a ton!

[jade terrace]

No worries.

[boreal junco]

yes, maybe send a warning to the user rather than instantly muting them? I'm mainly referring to the swearing mute. something like 2 times in 10 seconds should be a mute. just a suggestion

[severe hemlock]

There was, its just broken

Or was

[jade terrace]

It's to ensure you cool down after getting a mute as other user's in the past have sworn a ton after getting a warn from the bot, better safe than sorry in this situation.

[native turret]

they left lol

[jade terrace]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wild torrent]

What is the role "contributor" for? As in, how do you get it? (I didn't know what channel to post it on)

Please can we decrease the slowmode time in #game-feedback? Me and many others find many bugs but having to wait 15 minutes to report each one isn't exactly ideal.
I understand why the timer is there though so if it's not possible, maybe add a Bug Report section in support.beamng.com. Thanks

[little locust]

#game-discussion-1 message @jade terrace
Sorry, had to go, that's why it took some time, in any case, these are the passive commands which I believe can be used by anyone:
/whois
/calc
/catfact
/dogfact
/owldictionary
/poll
/reminders
/remind me
/wheather
/topic

[cursive thorn]

How do I get what level I'm on? Swear filters are insufferably dumb and I want rid of it asap.

[hollow bramble]

Click on 🤖 emoji in #roles , then go to #bot-commands and type !rank; you need to get to lvl 20 to get a contributor role without swear filter; XP is earned by talking in #game-discussion-1 , posting shots in #screenshots and discussing modding in related channels

[cursive thorn]

My bad Mods, I thought the role was a donator thing, that woulda been kinda silly imo.
I got it, thank you Constant. I'm level 7

[mortal pagoda]

cant even be bothered to post screenshots as theres no point if you cant chat in the channel or even add text, just feels pointless

[waxen lotus]

hello, please remove the ability to see the russian and chinese channels if you dont have the role, it doesnt make sense to be able to see them

[rotund nest]

That's already a option on discord that you can set.

[flat marten]

I mean obviously I have to list them in order of importance

[little locust]

That's the swear filter for you, saying any swear word will result in being muted for 3 minutes.

[jade terrace]

You can now use
/Catfact
/Dogfact
/Weather
/Dadjoke
/Throw
Note if we see any NSFW items we will remove the ability on these commands again.

[jade terrace]

We only support Windows & Linux, Roles are not needed since over 90% of our userbase is windows based.

[jade terrace]

To have the ability to swear you need to level up by chatting and get the green "contributor role" this is to ensure user's do not join & take advantage to swear & call other user's insults.

[buoyant gull]

I read this as "Roles are not needed since over 90% of our userbase is based."

[little locust]

The commands /throw and /dadjoke may contain some NSFW content, that's why I didn't list them, in any case thank you for letting me know what commands are now available.
I'd like to ask why /whois wasn't enabled, it's a neutral command that allows you to get informations on a user.

[foggy veldt]

why cant white names use nitro emotes 😭

[flat marten]

[little locust]

My request probably went ignored, so I'll say it again, can we get /whois command back?

[potent brook]

add xp to all channels?

[spring tulip]

XP is enabled on pretty much every on-topic channel, since that affects the contributor role we'd like that role to be reached by those contributing to BeamNG related content

[potent brook]

but beamng is usually the topic in most channels

[spring tulip]

Then the right channels should be used if you want to gain XP

[potent brook]

so basically
you can get punished for doing off topic things in game discussion and related channels
but not for talking about beamng in unrelated channels, you just dont get xp
doesnt really make sense to me but ok

[spring tulip]

All the channels have a degree of off topic we allow (then we just ask you to move, not immediately punish)
Of course though the server's main topic and theme is for the game, other channels are out of request and to help keep things tidy than just having a limited amount and only beamng related ones

[wispy cargo]

Whois is harmless? It only shows when you joined and such

[wispy cargo]

To add to this.

Literally 90% use rank command. Not many use other bot commands, you could calm down. Maybe the nsfw ones could be blocked.

But it’s not a school network. I can understand if it’s used in a school, but no school uses Discord for education purposes and that was metaphorical. Did you ever look at whois as a command does before doing desicion like that

[native turret]

"no school uses Discord for education purposes"
I can confirm that is false, just wanted to point that out

[tidal heron]

yeah lmao my current school requires discord, and some of my high school classes used it

Do you really have to have a bot automute every time I accidentally swear? It really gets old fast. Why not just delete the nessage?

[stone iris]

☝️I second that, giving permission to swear for contributors only is a joke. Not to mention off topic used to not have a filter. And it's just really dumb to let only certain people swear because "they are less likely to do it often" (sorry for taking that out of context but...). Either ban it across the board, let it fly across the board, or remove mute. Please

[left violet]

Contributors get punished the exact same, even content creators, it's not just yall, lol.

[bold ice]

no shados we are above the ‘contributor’ peasants

[stone iris]

They very clearly don't

[narrow cliff]

they are not, you can swear freely without being muted by the bot

[spring tulip]

We expect contributors and other roles to know better since we assume they've been a part of the community and server for a while, we allow it not so you can take advantage of it but so you don't end up with the automute if you really must use profanity which we still discourage, and anyone found abusing that may lose their contributor role or have other actions taken

[left violet]

Well any time I've accidentally done it, I have been, so I don't know what the hell is up with the bot.

But eh, it's whatever. If you can't handle not being able to swear, then this server probably isn't for you.

[little locust]

I know better and I tend to avoid inappropriate language, but I got manually muted anyways because I was joking on another user's inappropriate message.
The user who muted me still hasn't replied to me, I have to say that he was really caring in giving me a simple vocal warning before proceeding to log warn and mute a contributor (sarcastic).

[severe hemlock]

The simple solution is to not throw more fuel into the fire next time. When people say inappropriate comments just leave it for us mods to deal with

[little locust]

Sure, but I'd be nice if mods have some consideration towards contributors, a written warning would've been enough for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Plus, answering the DMs would also be appreciated.

[severe hemlock]

The rules still apply to everyone, same things happen no matter who breaks them

[little locust]

Again, sure, this is right on legal grounds, not so much on moral grounds tho in my opinion, log warnings are warnings that remain in your profile that can influence your future interactions, so before taking such decisive actions it would've been nice if he warned (written) me before, to me it just looks like he saw the inappropriate word and didn't even care to establish the context.

[severe hemlock]

Contributors are supposed to be the ones setting an example, not getting special treatment when they break rules.

[little locust]

That's not what I meant but sure, I see the way you like to think and change the meaning of my words.

[zealous sphinx]

The contributor rank is meant to be a 'sign' of being helpful and active here - like a trusted role at other servers. But as other moderators are havae said, the rules apply to everyone. Contributor originally was a rank for those who are helping the new users and contributing to the server. Nowadays you can see users who are spamming or sending non-contributive messages just for the XPs.

In short, the green rank is a sign of being helpful and being passionite about BeamNG, but not a rank that is above our rules.

[spring tulip]

Exactly, contributor role is not special treatment, it's supposed to signify you contribute to the community, set an example and help others out. It's not a matter of sending enough messages for a role

[spring tulip]

Sorry for any misunderstanding, please do explain what you did mean because we all unfortunately understood it as that way

The last thing we're here for is to change others words to get our way, that's definitely not what I or any other team members want

[stone iris]

Most likely because your content creator role is in front of contributor so it takes priority.

It's not that, double standards are just sickening

[left violet]

Mm

[hollow bramble]

A debate about automute when non-colored member swear

[cloud acorn]

I don't mind the no swearing but getting muted for a slip up is obnoxious as heck. Simply deleting the message would be sufficient IMO. That is what most servers do.

[little locust]

I was talking about a different thing, in case you were also referring to me.

[left violet]

I meannn, having so many people active at once talking would be kinda difficult to just delete the message.

[stone iris]

[left violet]

I must've misread their message then, I thought they meant with the moderators going through, watching, and deleting the message.

[stone iris]

Nope, Joker is only suggesting that the bot filters for words like it does now, but doesn't issue a mute. Which kinda makes because if the message gets removed, nobody sees it, no need to give punishment 🤷‍♂️

[potent brook]

Before yall enforce stuff like the contributor
maybe finish it? Really stupid imo that you take away my contributor before finishing what its gonna be like.

[wispy cargo]

its literally a cosmetic role lmfao

[severe hemlock]

Finish what?

[left violet]

The contributor role is for helpful people and those who reach level 20. That's literally it, you get no special perks apart from a green role which is separate from others. Not sure what else you want with it.

[potent brook]

"in the works"

[severe hemlock]

Nothing will really change with the role itself, just with how you will earn it

[potent brook]

If its still in the works, why take it away from people then? It doesnt make sense to me.
Im also wondering how you will be able to monitor who has "deserved" the role and who hasnt, theres gotta be some system for that, because theres not always a moderator looking at all the chats at all times theres people chatting. Because not only #game-discussion-1 is used to help people and whatnot, #off-topic , #automotive , #support , #tech-and-hardware
All these channels are used to help people, not only discussions.

My guess is that you would be in desperate need of getting moderators, considering you would most likely have either a bot or a crap ton of moderators monitoring channels, and how would the bot help? like the current one? reach level 20 and get the role. or do that but then take away the role if you see someone swearing a couple times?`
which brings back the moderator problem.. think things through guys..

[potent brook]

Nitro emojis
Swear filter gone (except if you swear, then you lose the role)

[left violet]

Then what would be the point in removing the swear filter if you'll get the role removed FOR swearing-

I don't get your logic.

[potent brook]

its the most recent thing they did. dont ask me

[tulip owl]

sooo uhh i boosted the server but it seems like i cant use me nitro emojis, pretty sure i should be able to use them now that i have boosted?

[narrow cliff]

You need to be a contributor to use external emojis

[tulip owl]

o
thought i saw some people saying nitro boosting had the same perms as contributors

[hollow elk]

that honestly sounds like a horrible idea, as you would have no way to link the mod or mention what is in the mod

[hollow elk]

why dont you get contributor for nitro boosting? that seems like a contribution to the server tbh.

[tulip owl]

contributor is more for helping other people, not for 'helping' the server (nitro boosting doesnt even help that much tbh)

[little locust]

It does tho, it allows us to send clips here without resorting to uploading websites and stuff, thanks yall for boosting the server.

[jade terrace]

We've decided to add back the swearing filter due to too many people with the role's taking advantage of the swearing to insult other member's & causing drama, We gave it a shot and it didn't work out.

[opaque ruin]

That's ridiculous, discord is 13+, there's no need to treat us like we are 8. Punishing everyone for afew people is a very silly thing. Unnecessary and unpopular change this...

If people are getting insulted by swears, boo hoo, they probably are a child, against discord TOS may I add.

So uh, you can't use any swear word and immediately get auto-muted like you're in kindergarten but literally screaming "im a furry with a latex fetish" with your entire profile is fine?
And yes, I'm talking about that mod.

[tulip owl]

No clue which mod you're talking about but I don't see what someone having a furry profile picture has to do with the whole swearing discussion thing

[little locust]

Literally read what he wrote, that is some sexual furry stuff.

[tulip owl]

Just because they think being a furry is purely a sexual thing, doesn't mean that others shouldn't be allowed to express themselves.

[twin bane]

That's not my point
THIS is a sexual thing, full stop (and googling one of the names of the accounts they've linked quickly confirms it)

[little locust]

Oh, that is not sexual tho, it's just a panther dipped in some viscous black substance (petroleum?).

Edit: nevermind I just saw his linked Steam account, I guess we could say that it's outside of Discord, so not a thing in plain view.

[tulip owl]

And whatever you found when googling their name has nothing to do with their pfp or banner
You're the one that went searching for it, don't get mad when you find something lmao
I don't see how the pfp and/or banner are sexual, and I definitely don't see how it has anything to do with the swearing filter discussion

[twin bane]

Its a fetish, the pics in their profile is literally the kind of stuff they masturbate to. I've only googled their name to confirm it. So concretely they use the "but there's no genitalia!" nature of their fetish to show it off on Discord while still being technically SFW

[little locust]

Um, I think I'm starting to agree with Berry, their preferences don't have anything to do with the swear filter, his Discord pfp and banner don't show anything sexual or of NSFW nature, his linked Steam account might be unpleasant to watch but it's external to Discord.

[twin bane]

The TV equivalent of the swear filter would he like beeping out swear words while also showing someone in a latex gimp suit at prime time. Thats why mentioned it
Either make your server completely kids friendly or make it only adults allowed but you gotta pick a decision

[tulip owl]

Still not sure where you're seeing a latex suit but ok. I feel like everything that needs to be said has been said so I'll go enjoy some beamng now

[little locust]

I'm still not getting the connection, while I may disagree with the swear filter (at least for contributors) I don't see how his Discord account is somehow NSFW?

[twin bane]

As I said, it's SFW as in "there's no genitalia or boobs showed" but it's NSFW as in "they and other people literally masturbate to this"
@tulip owl if you can't see it then I take you haven't had much experience with the internet yet (and I envy you)

[tulip owl]

If someone were to *do things while looking at a picture of an Ibishu Wigeon, would that make that picture NSFW?

[native turret]

im so very confused

[gleaming zodiac]

same

[little locust]

Again, it's their preferences, they like doing things (I'm not saying that word because I risk getting warned by Chuck) on these things, but how does this relate to the swear filter?

[native turret]

do you see slimes in stuff like dnd and associate that with nsfw?

[left violet]

So basically this dude is bringing in something completely separate from what he began with.

The IQ drops by the second.

[twin bane]

Sure you are
I just looked at your FA profile, don't act like you're innocent
And as to your question, honestly given the type of profile of the people who play DnD then yeah, to me it's not really NSFW but it's not really SFW either

[native turret]

Hear me out now... have you ever thought that maybe I just have a fascination with fluids/viscous stuff?
My first ever touch with 3d was doing fluid sims in blender, and now thats my job
I do fluid sims in Houdini specifically related to the difficulty that is viscous and non-viscous mixing for fun
I have literally messed with and helped make a fluid system made with particles in unreal engine for real time...
so maybe, just maybe, having a goo character is fun!

also if we are gunna block anything that could possibly be nsfw in a vague way then we should probably make sure there are no doctors here

[little locust]

I mean my profile is just a shiny Crown Victoria and in my bio there's a R.I.P. to my dead cat so I guess I'm the exception 😉

[left violet]

no because some people think goo is nsfw because it is sexualised!! >:((((((((((((((((((

youre bad this is bad >:(((

[native turret]

I mean lets even go to the extreme
Say this banner had an alt with a big schlong...
so what? im not showing that, linking to it, or endorsing that lmao

[little locust]

@twin bane Um bro, you're the only talking about sexual furry content when your bio literally leads to a furry Twitter account.

Edit: I missed the part when he said "Google Images", yeah I can confirm, don't search that.

[left violet]

Yeah, not sure what's going on there, then. Logic makes 0 sense here anymore.

[tulip owl]

from now on all banners will be uhh banned

[native turret]

Wait till they learn what some people do to cars 💀

If you have any more questions or concerns about me and my profile though, please ping me so I can see it! I'm at work so I don't look at discord often but I get a notification for pings

And I of course want to make sure everything is gucci

Pretty much, what happens off platform isn't the discord server's concern, do what'cha want in ya free time. XD

[rotund nest]

This.

[lost siren]

This was a chat that happened lmao what

[little locust]

[bronze vortex]

Ok

[little locust]

Make the bot say what swear word you said when muting you, because I now wrote a help message in support and I got muted without having any clue in what I accidentally typed wrong to trigger the swear filter.

[wispy jungle]

make a channel for car instructions. example: 'engine type' 'wheels and tires' 'interior and interior colors' 'exterior and exterior colors'.

[little locust]

What does this mean and what would be the purpose of such channel?

[wispy jungle]

so people can make lets say make a fast car then fill out the template or something with the parts and others can make their own of that car or tweak it ect.

[little locust]

I'm still lost at the why of the channel and how would you set it up but wouldn't it be easier to just share the config?

[wispy jungle]

lemme make a template

[tulip owl]

The easiest way would be to just share the .pc file (config file), like Nicky said
You can find them in BeamNG.drive > 0.25 > vehicles > [vehicle name]

[wispy jungle]

car:
engine bay:
exterior and color:
interior and color:
wheel base and wheels:
(optional) fuel type and fuel tank:

[mystic galleon]

Why not send the config at that point?

[little locust]

I don't get it, why would you need such channel in first place?

[wispy jungle]

I think it would be fun. thats really it.

[slate holly]

Someone help us in #game-discussion-1, I think we have a troll.

If I ever saw that I'd run and hide

if you ever see that come to me because it doesnt exist and something has gone wrong in the simulation

[jade terrace]

Let's move on from that convo, please.

[native turret]

lol wtf

[vapid terrace]

I completely hated it at first but bring back the 15 minute cool-down in #game-feedback, the sheer amount of children who don’t know what they’re saying or don’t think before saying anything is truly infuriating as actual good feedback gets drowned.

[stone iris]

Maybe if you took the discussion somewhere else good ideas wouldn't get drowned big brain

[vapid terrace]

I’m demonstrating why the 5 minute cool-down isn’t enough. I’m having a discussion where I’m not supposed to be.

[jade terrace]

Thank you, i've set it to 15 mins

[vapid terrace]

Thanks for observing the feedback.

[modest hare]

Maybe more language-specific channels for users, like, from French or Germany, you know? Because it’s a problem sometimes.

[spring tulip]

Possible when we have moderators that speak mentioned languages
