    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Hello everyone, just a quick update:

    -

    Pre-moderation and age verification is planned to be mandatory from the week of the 13th. Support/General chat threads ran by staff won't be able to continue once pre-moderation is in place, all other threads will need premoderation but will still be available.

    -

    As always, we will do our best to keep you all updated on any changes.

    Thank you for your patience with us.

    Surely pushing it back even more is gonna cause even more annoyance among users? Especially with the tensions already on the boards?

    So out of curiosity, what changes or assurances have been given, surrounding the yoti digital ID option, given the news that came out about it?

    huh? im confused. i thought the pre-moderation was supposed to take place today. why has it been moved back to the 13th?

    Interesting that it's been pushed back. I guess I'll be leaving at the end of next week before the 13th.

    This is getting ridiculous

    What's happened to the boards?

    I’m sorry but it’s absolutely hideous the main bit, least with the other we could see when new stuff was posted…now we have to check every section and it’s really hard to read each category name

    Hi all,

    We wanted to share an update following the concerns raised by the community around the planned changes to the discussion boards.
    As per our previous update, our legal team has now completed the necessary checks, and we are satisfied that we can proceed with Yoti as our age verification provider.

    Thank you for your patience while this was reviewed. We know the delay has been frustrating, but it was important that we took the time to properly consider the concerns and really appreciate you raising them!

    We had hoped to make the age verification check optional for a time period before it becomes a mandatory check, but unfortunately our tech team have advised it can’t be set up in this way. Therefore, we've taken the decision to push the implementation back to 13th April. Some timelines have also needed to be changed to allow for staff leave, as we want to ensure we have as many of us around as possible when these changes come into effect.

    To clarify the timeline:
    • Age verification will be implemented on Monday 13th April. From that point onwards, it will become mandatory and all users will be presented with the pop up to complete the check when they attempt to log into their boards account.
    • The boards will be switched off overnight from Wednesday and from this point onwards our new operational discussion boards hours will be 9am-10pm.
    • Pre-moderation will begin from Thursday. This means that all comments posted from Thursday onwards will be moderated by one of our team.

    We are hopeful that there won’t be any further changes to the above plans, but we will continue to keep you updated and answer any questions as these changes are brought in

    Thank you,

    The Mix Community
