I try to be nice and patient with the younger members of the forums, y'know, talk to them, be friendly, be polite, but there's one that's been a bit of a nuisance. I don't want to ignore them, but I also don't want to sound rude if I confront them on their behavior... They're younger, like I said, so I don't want to scare them off, but I want to keep them from getting "bullied" by other people.

I'd say make a private suggestion about their behavior, outline that you're trying to look out for their interests and see how they take it. 9 times out of 10 it usually begets a change. Younger people typically don't realize how they're acting.
it's kind of getting a bit boring in here *talking is cdi-link's voice*
if only there where more contests or something, the bell tree fair was really fun but it ended too soon
maybe holding small contest with a humble prize from time to time would make things more fun, but I can see something like this would be tiring for the hard working mods....
or maybe there were and I missed out on them? :B

Are BTB "lotteries" allowed?

There are events planned throughout the year. The Fair tends to be the really big end of the year event but we have a few smaller things every now and then.

I have a question here. Is stating conservative opinions or having conservative opinions (i.e. anti-universal healthcare) forbidden on TBT? Someone said that conservative opinions are what spark flame wars, but I don't think that's the point. I think people are very childish on this site.
Also, is it against the rules to deny users from business on the Re-Tail, VTP, Train Station, or the TBT Marketplace because of their political beliefs? I am very anti-socialist, and I don't believe in making service with people against free enterprise irl.

Considering this is a site dedicated to a casual game aimed at children I'd say it shouldn't be surprising that people on the site can be childish.
Though concerning your opinions on political matters I'll say that, just like any public community on the internet, if you express your opinion then you need to respect that people are going to disagree with it.
If people don't want to talk to you, if they block you, or if they refuse to have any interaction with you based on your opinions or beliefs that is their choice.
Edit: But it doesn't give anyone the right to think their beliefs are better than anyone else's or to treat anyone badly because of it. If disagreements arise on the subject it's best to not argue the matter and just ignore it or block the person.

I am fairly certain it's not against the rules, but good luck dealing with the backlash you get for denying people business because of their political beliefs.
So I was doing a trade with a member but the spacing in their username was weird so when I paid the TBT, I sent the payment to the wrong user. Of course I then sent the TBT again to the correct user. But my question is, is there a way to get back those TBT bells that I literally pretty much gave away or lost?
I looked up the username that I sent the bells to and it said it didn't exist. So asking the user to please send them back is out of the question.

The staff will see this and deal with it I'm sure~
A good way to avoid this though (this is how I send TBT bells 100% of the time) is to click their bell amount, like this:
Then you don't have to worry about typing their username. c:

What does the ! mean on some threads?
personally i think it's more of an attention grabber like an "urgent see this" compared to titles that don't have it. you can add it in yourself i believe, correct me if i'm wrong someone
Yes you can add that and a buncha old emoticons when you create the thread before your topic name (below were you write your post they are iirc)
