Or alternatively...

Thank you for all the info ^-^

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Cool, thanks Apples You're so informative

I still wonder how they got banned so fast XP

That brings me to another question...

If you ask the staff why a user was banned, can they reply or is it private and the reasons cannot be made public? I thought they were once before for another user, I might be mistaken.

We don’t reveal that

 

[MorphiGalaxi]

Ok, that makes sense :3 Thanks for your reply Tom

Are there rules on bumping threads? I can't seem to find out about it.

Are there rules on bumping threads? I can't seem to find out about it.

Rule 1c. Every four hours at most, except for the Amiibo Card Post Office board which is every eight hours.

Awesome!

I had a feeling that there'd be a rule, I didn't want to break any.
Thank you so much!!

It will never happen again, honest

Nah, the most you'll receive for that is a warning.

I noticed Oblivia already locked it too, so I think I'm good xD

I am gone from TBT for about a day and four people who I never
thought would be banned and added value to this site are banned.

What in the world happened? Did the rules change?

I'm also curious about this.

 

[Haskell]

I'm also curious about this.

Well, three people who I didn't think would ever be banned.

The fourth was also a bit weird.

Still, did the rules change?

Here's a question I have about the museum. Is writing fanfics allowed in the museum forum? I'm only curious because that's easy TBT, and I don't want to make big TBT in a guilty way.

I'm gonna ask again because it's been two years since I asked this, and I want to know if this is still okay after many rule changes. I'm not trying to do TBT Bell farming, but mostly for entertainment.

I see no issues with sharing your writing in the Museum, provided it's all forum appropriate!

You guys should know by now that we don't allow the discussion of bans publicly on the forums. Please refrain from discussing or asking questions about bans.
If you ever think the rules have changed, check The Bulletin Board for any updates.

I reported one of my threads a few days ago so I could have it closed (because I didn't want it to start a controversy) and it's still open. I don't want to rush the staff or anything but it's making me a bit worried.


I think we should have the option to close all threads we make, not just threads in re-tail/trading plaza.

I agree with this, although unfortunately it is unlikely the staff will follow your request unless they decide the thread deserves to be locked.

Not speaking for the entire staff here, but at least in my view, I don't agree with self-locking (outside of trade) because it essentially says that the OP of a thread somehow "owns" the thread. I don't think as a thread creator you should have the ability to decide you want to shutdown a discussion that many users may be partaking in just because you may not like the discussion anymore. Discussion threads are for the entire community, not just for the creator. Whether a thread has gotten out of hand and needs to be shutdown is for the moderators to determine.
