Imo they actually did it right, unlike bungie. I actually like their new site and may start using it again.
Eh...I don't know about that. The thread view is harsher than B.lind. I do like the rest of the new design, though; it's much better than Bungie's, IMO.

So thought due to the stupid drama we had last time why not ban threads about users when anarchy comes and relax the ban on the main forums.
Personal attacks won't be allowed, come Anarchy time. We'll also be starting fresh, without the old threads there.

Just a question, adsense has a problem with the profanity being used correct, so I assume it scans for these keywords?
Do these words still register if alt codes were used in the middle of word, such as you would do to bypass the filter?
If it does not register, would it be feasible to create a word filter where instead of replacing the word, it adds the alt codes into them and makes it not be picked up by adsense instead?
I'm doubting it would matter much. There is no direct "explicit" meaning with the word "spit" or "swallow" but we were still flagged for it. So either their automated system can pick up the context and determine if a phrase is explicit, or they have actual people sifting through some of it. Maybe both (probably both). In any case, we should take care to at least keep the thread titles safe for work.

Dedicate two ninjas to that board at all time.
That's an option, but I could also give ultimate power to the OP in Anarchy, so that they could delete posts made there and lock the thread if they so choose.

Problem
I figured I'd go ahead and make this discussion public and more accessible to everyone, so here we go.
The first thing I want to do is apologize for the censoring that's been going on, as well as all the butthurt and ragequits we've seen lately. I'm not trying to make everyone here politically correct and I would rather we all have the freedom to say whatever the fuck we wanted (save for the personal attacks and the harassment, because those aren't fun for anybody).
The problem is finding a money-making solution that can keep the site afloat and pay for the premium upgrades we may need (like the alerts mod). I don't want to pay for this shit myself and I don't want to make you pay for it either, so there needs to be a compromise.
Adsense is...amazing for their payout. If we just used that one banner, it could pay for the site and probably a paid update once every two months or so. The downside is that since Adsense is so efficient and popular, they can be choosy if they want to (and they are). Blogs and websites get dumped by them all the time for minor infractions and we've already received a warning from them. I've been looking for a while now for an alternative, but so far they all really suck in comparison.
The various ads we had near the bottom made maybe $0.02 to $0.04 a day, which is less money than I could make on my phone doing surveys and shit. Amazon Affiliates doesn't work in Missouri (where I am from) so they are out as well.
So right now we are stuck with Adsense, and I cannot afford to lose the income it creates for the forum. Your thread titles need to be safe for work and the content of your first post (if you are making a thread) needs to be relatively clean. Use a spoiler if you aren't sure and PM me (or post in here), but please try to control yourself when you're making a post.
Solutions
Something I've been considering is swapping out the adsense code in The Flood for something that makes less money, but still brings in some money. The problem with this is that The Flood has the overwhelming majority of our activity, and we would lose a lot of funding this way.
Another option is to bring back a watered down version of Anarchy for this purpose, which would become a permanent board on Sep7agon. You wouldn't be allowed to attack other members, but everything else about the board would remain. I'm less convinced of this idea because of the drama and inevitable rule-breaking that would occur, but I'd like to keep the idea on the table until something more concrete comes into play.
The last option would be either prohibiting guests from browsing the forum completely, or removing the ads from topics for guests and members without a first post. Both of these come with their own set of issues regarding activity, visibility, interest in the site for potential members, and ad revenue. I will be removing ad visibility in locked threads in the near future, though, regardless of the decision we need to make.
So I suppose I'll open the floor to any of you with ideas, questions, or suggestions.

How do you even check your level?
If you don't have anything under your avatar, then you are fine and have a zero level.

Assuming that it hasn't changed the decay rate is 10% per day.
Yes, but the forum checks for expired warnings at 6:00pm each day, so if yours expires after that time you will have the warning until the next day.

Oh, eh, yeah. It slipped my mind that allowing another language would mean users could post in that language. Don't hold your breath for this feature.

SMF supports multiple languages, so it's possible that we could eventually support one or two additional ones.

Well if there are members there complaining about it we could always recruit....
I am pretty sure there's a recruiting forum on there, so this could be an ok idea.

So I just finally get here, and Camnator's already leaving? This is bullshit.
Looks like it was over a misunderstanding. His thread wasn't locked because of certain peoples feelings, it was locked because we don't want adsense to kick us out until we can find a suitable replacement ad agency.
Can I just say that maybe you should try to make things like this more clear next time?
Yeah, I'll make a note of it in the rule thread. To be fair, I did give the thread a chance by changing the title.
Can we say transnagger?
I'm honestly curious how you would begin to use that effectively, but so long as you don't put it in the thread title you should be fine.

then please explain to me why I've met many trans people who do not care? Noelle is honestly the only one I know personally who gives a shit.
Insult me all you want, I can take the bullshit, to an extent. The reason I usually get into arguments with people like you though, is because I wish to help defend others who may be dealing with similar problems as myself but do not wish to be open about it. They may still feel hurt by the negative and disgusting things you say, but you do not care because to you it is just text on a screen. On the other side of that, are real people, and when you begin attempting to use actual serious issues against those people as a way to try and insult them, then it does become serious, it is no longer just internet "fun".
My problem with you is that you get upset over stupid, trivial bullshit, and take it upon yourself to try and suffocate the freedom that people often want out of a forum. I think people that treat you differently because you're trans are scum sucking parasites who don't deserve to live. I do not sympathize with any bullshit they like to drum up inside their angry, worthless heads. My problem with you is that you think people shouldn't be ALLOWED to use those terms, and that it's wrong. It's not. Saying you're OFFENDED by something means absolutely jack shit. I do not give a shit if you're offended, and I don't think you should give a shit if something offends me. The only time moderation should EVER step in is when it become harassment, and I absolutely agree there are some people who treat you and others in ways that I think SHOULD be bannable. that does not give you a fracking right to tell me what words I can and cannot use.
To the first bit of red: I stepped in to edit your thread title because I knew it could get flagged by Google. I'm right there with you; I have a foul mouth and loathe those who try to curb my vocabulary.Unfortunately in order for this whole forum thing to work, you have to be able to support the forum. Ads do this well and we don't ask for money from any of you, but you have to play ball and not do stupid shit that could crash the forum. This isn't a negotiation. If you use explicit words or phrases in the OP or the thread title, it'll get changed for you so that Adsense doesn't kick us out. We're exploring other advertisement options, but the first alternative is massively failing, so we need to keep adsense for a while longer.

Uh so I was gone for like an hour.
Can someone fill me in on what just happened?
Camnator made a thread talking about "shemales". It got locked. Someone else made a thread about "shemales", I reported it, and the thread was edited and changed to "transperson", but also got locked. Camnator is apparently upset that he is not able to use derogatory terms for trans* individuals so is now leaving. Fine with me.
Wait, shemales is offensive now? Jesus, first the actual descriptive word gets blocked, now people can't create threads with "shemale" in the title anymore? This forum is turning into tumblr.
If it makes you feel any better, the only reason it was changed is because our lord and savior Google doesn't like that word. But I am pretty sure shemale was always offensive, fyi.

I'll take responsibility for the lock and edit so people don't throw a fit. Your topic title was changed for a reason.

Wonder how long it'll be before another "offsite" thread pops up on B.lind. Anyway, I still don't really understand the circle-jerk I am apparently encouraging, but thanks for stopping by none-the-less, Camnator.

I honestly think that once we start making more good content like the reviews/articles we have now, we'll really start to pick up more funding from the ads.
I've even heard a podcast is in the works.

Now I'm upset my thread was locked and this one isn't. Mine was legitimate!
Because you haven't offended anyone or their pet mod yet.
I'm up for adoption if you're willing to clean up after me.

My eyes would tell me yes, maybe even my tongue, but everything else would tell me no.
The scent would be different. Pheromones and what-not.
I was under the impression that those trans individuals who take hormones produce the corresponding pheromone. I could be wrong, but I doubt you'd be able to "smell" the difference, mate.

Fees for using a forum are revolting, in my opinion. I could see us putting out a few premium nameplates/titlebar colors, but right now I think we're reasonably OK on hosting costs (as long as adsense doesn't fuck us).

Not my main one. I have a spare and I'm not using it for anything.
There is only one problem. I have no idea what I need and I suck with hardware.
Any tips?
Reasonably sure it involves flashing the bios using a desktop, and if you don't know what you're doing you could end up destroying all your shit.
Does it require opening and fracking with the hardware? Software is my strength, but hardware isn't.
When I bought mine (notice, bought, not made) it did indeed involve opening the case up. I'm not too knowledgeable on what exactly you had to change, but I wouldn't be surprised if some minor soldering was involved.
Shit. I'm out of luck then. I can't solder for shit. The last time I tried messing with the 360's hardware was when my 07 model crapped out, and that didn't end all to well either.

I honestly keep forgetting it exists, because it's not in view unless I click on somebodies name.
the old system where it was under everyone's profile pic was way easier.
Any other opinions on this?
That's true, but ratings were also a lot more unstable since people would hit them on impulse. The forum looks a lot cleaner without them sitting below the avatar as well.
I admit the whole "downvote everyone" thing was annoying.
Perhaps it was for the best. I just keep forgetting we have it :/
Well, stop forgetting.
Any Pro Tips?
Be handsome.

It's been cold enough to need a jacket, and for the past few days it's been raining and overcast nonstop (which is awesome).
What does rain look like?
It's like when you take a shower...but the water comes out of the sky instead.
