UPDATE Chat Channel Updates

[Amarilove]

No the purple club banners we usually use to call for last bar help is not working and others have noticed as well so people are having to use regular posts just to call for help

You've always needed to use a speaker to make a purple club post.

Having to change my ign that I’ve had for years sucks.

I reached out through a help ticket before getting it to confirm that it was pg and appropriate. Whoever answered my ticket years ago said that it was. It was then and I still think that it is.

I would argue there’s nothing overtly sexual about AdultFilmStar.
An adult who is a film star and you guys can say what you want when defending the designs you use but I think it’s hypocrisy.

You’re fine with capitalizing of the style of avi designs you make but are punishing us. I’m disappointed and think you are making a mistake.

I think completely getting rid will welcome too much spam. I think increasing the limit from 25 to 50 for players that have completed the tutorial and have no recent silences should be good.

I think the regeneration and max of speakers should be tied into account stats like how opening timer boxes is.

Idgaf seeing "spam" from people playing the game regardless if its chat/trade/club/promo reasons, its the noob alts with scams or trolling that need to be limited the most.

 

[Amarilove]

The purple club banners we normally use for posting club announcements like LBH are broken they are not working or showing up at all

You have use speaker token for purple banner you just don’t see the token used on the counts until now I guess

Also fair. That's why I did mention "completing the tutorial," but instead of stats perhaps it could be tied to something else like how many years you've been playing. I also think players with recent silences should have a smaller pool of speakers (that will return to normal once you've left that silence tier).

Not seeing it. Make sense. Might be part of something that need to be flag to ATA and need to be fix like the lag earlier call by IGN : Hawt.


But, purple banner uses speaker token that’s for sure even before this change.

Got fixated on the word “speaker token” from your original post. But as I read your new messages, I do see they might be something to flag if it doesn’t show for those who viewed the chat and the sender sent it.

I did hear in campus IOS is having trouble with the purple club banners. Im android over here and no troubles.

I would not be unhappy with any of those suggestions.

I do think the tutorial goes rather quick, its not hard to click through if thats the threshold to get maximum speaker access.

If you want to crack down on sexual usernames that 17+ people don't give af about start by keeping your avatars clean and not sexual first.

 

[Canaille]

I'm an android user and posting the purple recruitment ad shows fine from the account I'm posting it on, but if I use an alt and watch the ad never shows there.

Literally. And then while they’re at it they can get rid of all of the sexual misc items too. Since some of them are actually overtly sexual in nature

THANK YOU!!! Unless they're going to go through and replace avatars and misc they shouldn't have a say in usernames.
Cracking down on pedos is great! Love to see it! But not being able to read pms when that's where most of the verbal abuse, unwanted sexual conversations, harassment, and danger is slightly concerning but understandable.

 

[Fire-CEO-Tayber-Voyer]

EVERYONE BOYCOTT THE STORE UNTIL PUB COMES BACK OR THEY FIRE ATA CEO TAYBER VOYER!

Copy and paste this message and spread it around. They need to know we will not tolerate them ruining our game anymore. They have been making this game worse for many years and this is the last straw.

 

[desire_abi]

We used to have club announcements for getting help to complete parties. I feel we should definitely have that coz now it's difficult to see who needs help and we can't directly hop to the club as we used to do !

100% this. I genuinely think this is such a good thing to mention because as much as public channels are used for horrible things private messages are where things escalate, become worse, disgusting, horrifying and dangerous. I really feel like if we want to go down the root of pdfiles and make this game a more safer environment ( since kids do play this game (yikes) ) to also take into account messages away from prying eyes aka private messages when doing silences and potential bans

Not being able to ask for 18+ feels weird and more friendly to folk like Jeff epstien

Look up TAYBER VOYER A Think Apes CEO I'm sure he is in the files.

Now where will we post LBH now that the club announcement in the chat channels has been removed

I'm pretty unhappy with the ruling of some of the IGNs I'm seeing having to be changed. The front page post talks about cracking down on sexually explicit content which is fine, but why are suggestive and obscure usernames being targeted as well? @Muschi now @Oasis I didnt even know had any connotations to it before this thread. @AdultFilmStar now @FilmStar was not explicit by any means.

PiMD avatars can be quite sexy, isn’t that a contradiction?

While it’s an understandable question, we don’t feel that it is. We are advocates of the “Cosplay Is Not Consent” fan convention movement:

“Cosplay is Not Consent” is a crucial movement and policy widely adopted within the convention community, emphasizing that wearing a costume—no matter how revealing, detailed, or suggestive—is never an invitation for unwanted physical contact, photography, or sexual harassment.

Sexy avis does not mean public chat is an explicit/adult-content space.

I agree, sexual appeal or topics do not equal consent to one's desires. It is not an invitation for harassment. Thats not the question at hand. Why ARE your lewd, nude avatars okay but suggestive usernames are not?

Either this is an adult app where sexual content - with consideration to consent - is appropriate, or it is not.

To say that it's okay for you to create and release sexual content because you are the owners and overlords of this app but your playerbase is not is in fact contradicting.

There's a certian consent assume when entering adult spaces, where you are accepting adult content will be present - whether this is in design or discsussion - even if you do not wish to actively engage in it. Any person is fully aware that what you see and hear at a kids birthday party is very different from what is going to be happening inside a bar. If you go and see a movie for mature audiences there will be mature content. If you download an app for mature ages there will be mature content.

This is a 17+ app - that falls under the Mature Content umbrella. I suspect it is not rated as 18+ so as to not be assumed to be a porn game. Mature content is expected.

If your naked avis that show everything except nipples on F avis and genitals are okay why are player set texts that are less vulgar not also permitted?
