Overall, here’s where this stands:
  • Avatar purchases will not be turned off, ever.
  • I will require users to log in to buy avatars.
  • I alone will have access to that information and will use it only in the case of truly heinous avatars that I would instantly permaban someone for, and only when requested by the avatar receiver.
  • If I feel demands for revealing these are being abused in any way, I will undo this change and they will go back to being anonymous.
would implementing some sort of 'approval phase' for avatars work also? like an admin/mod has to go 'yeah this is fine'. even ignoring stuff thats permabannable sometimes you get people buying like, outright porn or whatever. you dont get permabanned for posting porn (usually just regular banned) but still feels like one that shouldn't be allowed.

ofc introducing more work to the pipeline doesnt sound good but idk, i dont think looking at something and seeing if the text has their address or if you can see a dick in it would require that much labor. just a thought

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
What is the timeline for requiring someone to be logged in to purchase an avatar for another user?

this, and I would also suggest that any moderator should be able to easily see "this av was purchased by the user for themselves" so that if someone tries this poo poo again Jeff doesn't have to wake up for it.

I mean assuming Boba is posting at face value there (which I do not inherently accept), it kinda emphasizes that maybe letting someone back onto a forum they claimed radicalized them into terrorist attacks is probably not a great idea. Even if it is just in their head it seems like a profoundly unhealthy place for someone to be even if they aren't pretending to be someone else entirely so they can continue to post in the place they claimed made them want to do a terrorism.

It sucks poo poo that Jeff got burned by a friend but it is honestly kind of insane that the friend in this case is someone who really really should not have been back on these forums even if they did get help and recover.

also yeah there should be some kind of visible flag on the mod/admin side for if an avatar was self-bought because this has happened twice now

Avatar changes are good, and I can understand not wanting to engage with this hanging over you but don't feel like a 'we're working on it' is worse than radio silence

Please god I'd rather never know the truth behind the Bocchi bunch. Let it be a mystery forever.


But yeah, I'm fine with Jeff being the only one who can do the tracing. Still, having some way for someone else to see if the avatar was self bought (when done so properly) seems reasonable?


Not gonna stomp my feet and demand it cause as mentioned it wouldn't have stopped these situations, but it does sound helpful.
