I am going to use my own discretion and close this. Ideally we want constructive and appropriate criticism on this forum base, something most of the replies have not been. And I am sure the OP wanted that rather than some of the harassment he has received both on the forum base and off. I want this to be fair for everyone regardless of the circumstances. Sadly some people may not be able to see that. With that said though, its disappointing the majority of replies here have been removed by our moderation team (vols included) even though they all have been correctly removed. No one has done anything wrong here - and worked within the tools/rules they have been instructed to do so. The rules are not here to stifle conversations but to try and improve them, something that's not really worked in this case so we will have an internal discussion about moderation practices in the future, nothing may change though as we discuss it. Threads like this are difficult to get the right balance, and with that said I think the moderation team have done overall a good job. Any further questions, feel free to reach out to me.

This appears to be an opportunity for people with concerns about that chat to vent their frustrations to the main owner. Regardless whether people believe the main owner is suitable for the job or not - the discussion is open and it should be made use of.

The key thing here is though, nearly every other provider uses SMS as a backup, we do not. Noticing the subject, I do not agree with a replace of authenticator, just have sms as a backup

SMS backup is standard, and is something that although in our case would weaken security, its still more than good enough for this type of usage. And I have no concerns about it. Only real concern would be cost, and some international users or messing up country codes, or spamming the system. For what it is, should not be too expensive, but until research is done and proper cost analysis for is it worth it is complete this type of feature. We used to use a PHONE verification system for paid users to remove reserve. It was quite a pain though understanding what types of phones is acceptable or not. At least with this type of solution it would be all SMS.

Seems too useful - but you would still need to upload it so not much point.

Topic closed

OK, message received. stay tuned.

Up to @life this year

The rule is, Volunteers may buy/sell xats for any currency so longs they do not use their volunteer status at an unfair advantage. (i.e) they have permission There was an internal debate about being listed on re sellers page, I cant remember what was decided. Case closed

you can change the colour of the scroll for free...

paid off; congrats

Greetings friends, just here procrastinating.

Okay congratulations. Hope you all had some funs.

Conveniently the last post was done by lemona when this thread was due to close. Everyone agree with the results?

Agree with the concept, but a lower random number of xats with a new value generated randomly every day. Stops bots working out the limit and then just assigning the amount of xats to the account. Also with the ability of increasing and decreasing until raids stop.... unfortunately people will be effected though with captcha measures.

Can I have the scores again, with details of the accounts that have been disqualified.

can someone PM me a run down of the scores please. Need to know who is winning as points mean prizes!

Ill give an email to admins about it. With mobile people may be expecting them anyhow.

we should add this: http://emojione.com/ only thing is, has to be free by the licences with attribution somewhere, this can be done on the wiki though.

Yeah, I'm going to disagree. Im not for adding rules for the sake of adding rules, some people will post good luck just being polite and then have there post deleted or even warned about posting again, and then they will have a negative experience of our forum. Instead we want to be welcoming.

Hello friends, Would it be cheating if I replied and then closed the thread? Many Thanks Cyan

First reply: Demi Lovato (1 point for me)

Starting again, as no one counted there posts, and also, cameron diaz was mentioned 4 times, some other guy three times.... rules are: Okay, I really hate forum games, however we should really kick start this forum with something, and as you guys have demanded this ridiculousness for years, lets start with a game that has really annoyed me on other forums in the past. The idea of the game is to name a celebrity, or famous person starting with the first letter of the second name. For example Post1: Isaac Newton Post2: Nelly Furtado Post3: Frank Turner A famous person is defined as having, a Wikipedia page, or Twitter verified with over 25,000 real followers. The same notable person cannot be used twice. The first notable person is; Leonardo Dicaprio The thread will be locked: April 30th at 23:59 UTC. Thats a insane 2 months of posting. The winner is determined as suggesting the most notable undisputed names within that time frame. You should keep a counter on every post for my sanity, any cheating will result in disqualification. You get 2 lives. A life is lost when you forget to count your post. AND if you name the same notable person a second time. Winner gets 3000 xats, and anything else anyone wants to donate to the fund. From my experience these games get very competitive and friends can become arch enemies, please have fun know your limits and remember the rules. Let the living hell begin.
