I wanted to let you know that, effective today, we’ve removed the report system from our forum. It’s something that was formerly designed to enhance your forum experience, but we’ve learnt the hard way that it ultimately did the opposite to some of you, which was never our intention. While we cannot commit to bigger forum optimizations for the time being, we’ve decided to take this step in order to improve your overall experience.

Another frequently brought up topic is the post review system – we are also considering removing this feature for the time being, but would like to listen to your opinions on the matter before we commit to this measure.

hey everyone. I've read your opinions on the downvote/upvote system we had and I liked your suggestions to leave the option to upvote and remove the downvote option that unfortunately helps in spreading negativity and can be under bot attacks.

That's why, as you may have noticed, starting well, a couple of minutes ago, we've removed the option to downvote posts.

Thank you everyone SO much for all the comments - it's needed feedback and I truly appreciate it :)

To clarify some of the confusion (apologies!) on the 'reputation system', I meant the - / + number each of you had under your username and Forum profile. I saw your comments about whether it's simply invisible now or whether the rep system's funcionalities are gone as well - let me check that with the Team.

It's a long time coming, I know - from what I hear most of you would also prefer for the option to up/down vote posts to disappear, as it's sometimes under bot attacks as well. I will be sure to look into it, expect more updates next week, perhaps we can make it happen relatively soon as well.

Our moderation team will be sure to take care of that! The team currently includes me, as well as

& chandra

Additionally, if you want to report a particular case, it helps greatly to just leave a comment in WE ARE UNDER ATTACK thread, as it is also being monitored regularly. :)

We did notice that one instance, but it seems to be working properly now so it might have been a server sync related issue.

Any further off-topic posts continuing this discussion will result in immediate bans. Neither this thread, nor this forum, are a place for it.
