tired of forums becoming social media

WATERPARKS 2/9/2022 02:39 pm 2069

i mean this in the nicest way possible, but i'm sick of 13 year olds on this website treating it like a diary or a social media. forums are not the same as social media, this is a KANDI website, not a place to vent about genuinely heavy topics (they literally have a banner saying this before you post a thread) or kin or whatever.

i know there are edge cases of people not being allowed real social media, but this is meant to be a lighthearted site to talk about a specific common interest, not how much you hate your parents or how you want a new partner.

This also is just a public website so obvi there guna be other topics discussed tho, if you dont wanna see peoples random discussions put ur forum setting to just kandi and stuff not the "other discussions" thread thing

I do agree that venting abt heavy topics is kinda weird on such a website, but there’s a “other discussions” section for a reason

This site wasn’t ever intended to be a forum. The “forum” section of the site was originally called Questions and was designed for people to ask questions about kandi and request patterns (back when I was still making them), but it has turned into this. At times I’ve thought about turning off the forum feature entirely, but that doesn’t seem fair since there’s a little community here now. But it’s not fit for purpose and it’s difficult to find the balance between not allowing heavy topics and not stifling people’s speech. I’ve been removing most of the things that get reported though.

fr tho. i get lighthearted stuff like, "oh i got a new dog" or "tell me hobbies other than kandi!" or smth but people really need to stop venting or just having unnecessary posts. for gods sake this is a kandi website! running botty pink
