Vote for me for the leader of this forum

If I were elected as the leader of the AO forums I’d make these changes:

  1. Members can use the chat function that tl3 members can use, however they cannot access the category that tl3 members have nor the tl3 group chat.
  2. I’d add an option to completely ignore users, this prevents the hidden post button from appearing, and also prevents you from seeing any of that user’s topics and posts, you also cannot see when they’re online, the only way to revert to change would be to go to a fully ignored user list that you can access and then unblock them.
  3. I’d make it a rule that you cannot post anything AI generated in the art category, art tag, and music tag, this includes any form of art, which includes but isn’t limited to: drawings, digital artwork, music, games, books, E-books, and so on generated by AI, however a new tag called “AI generated” which allows you to post AI generated content in the off topic category.
  4. Users who use AI generated profile pictures are no longer allowed to post under the art category, art tag, and music tag, topics, no exceptions.
  5. Moochez will be banned from the forums due to calling the forum users a slur, this ban will not be lifted until further notice.
  6. Another admin will be appointed under a democratic system of voting for potential candidates, these candidates will have to have the required skills, social skills, and other unnamed form of skills and experience to become a candidate.
  7. People who make posts in the Reminders for AO (Part 4) and future Reminders for AO topics which aren’t relevant to the topic (such as screenshots of trello updates) will be prevented from posting in the topic for 1 month, and each subsequent violation of this rule after action has been taken against them for previous violations of the same rule, will get increasingly longer punishments for this.

I believe that this will help revolutionise the forums into a new and better era!

The people who can vote on this election, will only be the moderators for the forum, and anyone else in a higher position.

Darn
:pensive:

Do not worry fellow forumer! Since voting for me to become the leader of this forum would be a way for you, yes, YOU! To express your democratic values and views, and help change the forums for the better!

Misinput tried that and it broke lmao

Wait what? Well there goes the dream of freedom…

Reliant entirely on Discourse, not the AO forum.

Cut out the “art” part. AI already isn’t allowed in Art, I’d prefer to see that extended to the entire forum.

Sadly, banning a dev is a bad idea. Just legalize the slur he used. Gods know that I’d love to call some certain people it.

Vote me!!! I check the forums way too much to be healthy, so I would be a perfect candidate.

The amount of effort that’d be required to check every single message for a hint of AI would be atrocious, since AI could likely type out a sentence in Morse code perfectly without anyone knowing, just for an example.

  1. Mis tried that and it broke fast
  2. My old art is banned from artist : ( (for context, Ai is an unfortunate name for a vector art program by a shit company.) Also why are we sending hellfire into off topic
  3. Nervous sweating (3)
  4. Not like non-forumer staff ever come here in the first place. There’s a reason why it got to that point
  5. Uh oh
  6. Welcome back old rfao. We just shovel them into discussion when that happens nowadays : ) (plus tl4 people are weak, we can’t kill people. Can mods even ban people from speaking in a specific topic?)

No

i know probably all of these are jokes, but i will say ive been needing to tidy up the tags for a few months but im just too lazy

I am not that lazy… so maybe I can be an admin? :pleading_face:

But on a serious note these are what I’d think would actually help improve the forums.

Granted that I now know that some of them are impossible with the way discourse is designed.

  1. they can use it to pm eachother but i cant make a group
  2. limitation with discourse afaik
  3. maybe once i clear up the tags but i need to manually categorize hundreds of topics by hand so not anytime soon
  4. no
  5. no
  6. no. ill bring on more mods if need be but we’re fine right now
  7. if i could make that happen i would. ill look into it but don’t expect anything
