Do you think it's unfair they lowered the bell count?

[Aali]

I had no idea they lowered it. I think it's pretty unnecessary tho what did you get before like 7tbt? No that big of a deal

their rules are haywire lmao. and ambivalent af like come on why do you even have a word filter when you can go around it really easily

I agree. I think people are supposed to be at least 13 to be on this site if I remember correctly, so they should be able to handle an f bomb here or there or everywhere.

I'm not sure but infractions have been givin out here lately they accused me of "joining the argument" so like I can't say my opinion?

Just avoid the holy trinity of TBT flame wars (guns, abortion, LGBT issues) and you won't have to worry about getting infracted.

One of the things that makes TBT a nice place is the semi-relaxed modding.

Also, they have a word filter but you get infractions if you go around it.

I agree. This is the internet after all. If anyone under 13 is on here posing to be 13 well then that's their fault.

This is actually one of the tamer sites I've been a part of. The rules aren't as strict, but still. Most 13 yearolds use it anyway because they're like in that stage of actually learning meanings and I don't know where I am going with this so I'm going to just kinda stop

They shouldn't give infractions for going around the word sensor, unless it is being used to purposefully hurt someone else.

i don't care

also i don't think there's an age limit, i've seen people younger than 13 including myself

 

[Invisible again]

Didn't even know they lowered it (just for polls, correct?). Not like it really matters. I'm just here 'cause I like AC, not for a forum currency.

I actually double checked the rules and I guess there isn't really an age minimum. It just says that if you're under 13, you're "supposed" to have parent / guardian consent, but I don't think it's really enforceable. The "How old are you?" thread has 13 as the minimum age, so I guess that's where I inferred that the staff doesn't really want younger users here.

They lowered how many TBT you can make polls? I didn't know that. How many TBT can you make when making a poll.

ironic considering Justin joined when he was 8 or 9 iirc.

what do you usually use your bells for Jared? if you want acnl items let me know, I probably have some you can have for free ^^

 

[Cudon]

The bell amount obtained from making polls doesn't bother me, but I had no idea you could get warnings for trying to avoid the word filter? Like can you seriously get a warning for swearing on this site or something?

Also, you shouldn't be getting any infractions/bans/whatever from arguing if you're doing so politely. So if getting warnings from arguing bothers you, then you should maybe throw out the rude tone, sarcasm and insults.

I swear a lot on this site and never get warned for it, so I don't think it's a huge deal. I think you only get warned if half of your post is swear words which lowers the quality of the post or if you call someone an offensive term.

they'll punish you for anything

 

[LambdaDelta]

Jared, we didn't lower any of the bell amounts for posting recently. The only one that was lowered was poll creation.

this is honestly news to me, but I'm kinda glad

maybe now we can have have more threads of some actual substance and not just "X or Y or maybe even Z"

I hate reading, like no joke, I bore myself out real fast so no thank you, each site usually has the same rules so I don't read them

the sheer amount irony here is absolutely hilarious

this post deserves to be framed

btw seeing all the b& people in this thread, and did I miss some drama elsewhere or is this all just coincidence?

you forgot the depression/suicide/"woe is me" and the politically-charged threads

tbtf's modding has definitely gotten stricter in my time here, but it is still relaxed as all hell when compared to many, many other forums. i'm still here simply because this place like represents a fifth of my life thus far (i'm fifteen and have been here since i was twelve)
however, what is definitely nice about tbtf is that you can actually post your opinions
the problems all arise when people react to said opinions in a manner that's basically stereotypical of the internet: "you must be wrong because your opinion differs from mine"
and tbh the moment a subjective element is introduced about something, you're always going to get this kind of stuff
i have had intelligent conversations about the fallacies of the lgbt community before. i have had intelligent conversations about the strengths of the lgbt community before. they just weren't generally in a place where everybody could see them, hehe
well, i'm rambling so thanks for reading and please don't kill kthxbye
