I wouldent mind this actually to be fair. Honestly this whole thing has made the mix 10x worse tbf
Other sites I have been on allow moderators to access DMs if needed, and include a flag button to report unwanted, harassing, unsolicited, dangerous or any other dodgy DMs to mods or staff. I know for a fact that staff do have access to PMs on here, because it has been asked about many times and confirmed.
I totally agree with you here it has been stupid of them to change practically nearly everything on here to the point the mix doesnt even look like the mix anymore. It looks more like a clinical plain website tbf.
And @AnonymousToe it’s a lot to read but basically we’re all very much in agreement with you.
Fair enough about the Friday chat, probably useful for me atm if I don’t have a work appointment but I just was thinking for others, I definitely agree I might be wrong and it might be a good idea. I think pretty much everything else is right though we are all in 99% agreement
Thats sad. All of my DMs and conversations... just gone. I thought I could have them for the future, they were like a diary. You have just deleted a large part of my diary. I even used to write song lyrics in there, now gone.
As much support and replies I have received on the boards, DMs are the place I made many friends with the nicest and most supportive people I have ever known. And come to think of it, most of my friends I have today are literally from the mix. Its incredibly sad to see that others will have this taken away.
DMs were where we gathered together to send each other nice messages for secret santa. A place where we'd gather to sign cards to people we valued. A place where I accidentally sent a photo of my aunty's kittens to the mix staff instead of my friend... all gone now.
Soon you'll be removing the option to reply to posts, and you'll have emotionless AI bots 'reply' instead.
Why are you taking the community out of this community?
Haha. Its funny cause when I first joined over 2 years ago (which feels crazy) I suggested a dark mode, which apparently was already something many others were suggesting too. But we were told it was 'too difficult to implement on the back end' so it wasnt a priority (which btw, as a software dev myself I can say its not hard to implement). And now we're here, still without a dark mode that people we asking for, but with a random colour scheme no one has asked for
I know there’s a lot we’ve discussed in these meetings, and not much progress has been made. However, this is clearly impacting the community. If the meeting doesn’t lead to results, we should explore alternative solutions to get things actually sorted.
i so agree with you re friday chats - no it won’t suit everybody as people who are in school for example may be unable to join, but same goes for evening chats in terms of not being able to suit everybody either due to commitments so it’s actually good that they did take that onboard and have a bit of variety when it comes to chat times!!
@JJLemon18 you are so right. PMs were where i checked in with people. They were where I had many rants about things I thought were stupid but turned out weren’t. We sent cards, did secret Santa, used to send each other encouragement and kind words, etc.
Private communications have risks. But what I don’t get is, you’ve literally just limited the age range in a very drastic way. It’s not as if you’re going to get 50 year old DMing 13 year olds (or at least it will be very rare with age verification)
Would be good to know this before they’re knocked off again too if they will be, so we can finish our chats.
@Redemption it was you i was trying to PM, so if you can still start chains could you please PM me if comfy?
@independent_ it's done, it's not letting me, gone again, it let's me chat on current message threads but won't let me make a new one. I'm sorry ❤️
@independent_ no problem not your fault, I'm thinking if we could all try to find a similar community with a moderated platform and all move onto that but thats up to each person, just a thought but we can all try to find the closest match that this used to be and move onto there. I'm not sure, I'm leaving, others have, others will, it's falling apart here but that doesn't mean our friendships should all fall apart.
like other threads we probably wont get answers/ a explanation for a while.
good point
What a joke
