I hate to say it, but possibly not. Antiquity is... well, antiquated. I don't think the boss ever really intended to keep it fully functional with future upgrades, but I can certainly ask about it.

Please do. It is the only theme that works with screen readers.

Warnings/ban trigger a notice to ensure the player is aware they've been warned/banned.

I suggested this a few days ago in the transparency thread in moderation, so I'm glad to hear this is definitely something that's being looked into.

I mean, it honestly makes sense. The only reason it doesn't do that right now is the whole janky forum <> game integration issue. Should be much simpler to do once the forums are fully integrated into gameside so we don't have the janky crap in the way. ^^;

Given that we hardly ever lock threads unless there is a problem, such an action would undermine the very act of locking them in the first place.Cekoviu wrote:i dont want to make the mods manually go thru and redact all of them
We get maybe 3-4 such requests in a year - I think we can handle the workload. Not enough of a reason to reverse a perfectly useful tool.

To be fair, places like TET, the TDT, CDT and the remnants of the LWDT and RWDT are cases where someone would benefit from being able to remove info after locking.

- The ability to embed YouTube videos, Spotify playlists, etc. into posts both forumside and gameside using a BBCode tag like [media]. (Same thing as with my suggestion for reactions - I've seen some forums have a [media] BBCode tag before.)

If we have something home made, this could be an option. I'd love to have an API.
I could then read it out, and have for example, all new threads in Moderation requested through the API.
Or, see all new posts across the forums with an API. And then subsequently filter them on keywords.
And then pass that info along to ummm... communication channels.

Given we very specifically disabled embedding of audio/video media on the current forums, it's highly unlikely we'll enable it for the new one. Not everyone accessing the site has unlimited data, and embedding media takes away that control from those users. Additionally, embedded media opens up an assortment of new venues for abuse. Players linking to a Youtube video, or Spotify playlist, and so on remains a perfectly serviceable way to share media while preventing abuse.

does embedded content actually take up a significant amount of data on a metered connection when it isn't played? i sort of figure it wouldn't take up that much space until u hit play and if u do then thats your own fault
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23
