The OP can just edit the thread title for any new updates if they want.

It makes things much more organized, it's easier to find things, and it's not annoying!

@jorge.

^This.



Also the #desnudate lounge pretty much needs @Plain Loser nudes more regularly. You could make that a rule I suppose.

seriously, who are you??

Also, I've posted way too much in there already. That'll do for 2021.

you know it lol but tell it to pm you cause I'm not sure it has said.

We will be implementing something similar.

HRH Lady Mamacita wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:33 pm Question. So if y’all strictly enforce official threads, how will y’all solve the issue of the search function? Let’s say there’s no Britney news for a few weeks and her thread is pushed back a few pages. Suddenly, there’s news and I have to find her thread but it’s nowhere to be seen on the first two or three pages and since “Britney” is a common term, the search won’t help me find the official thread either.

Maybe we can add a #keyword or something to official thread? Exclusive for those titles only.

That's already been solved in our end, as part of these discussions, so it's coming. We have a 3 page thread going in the Mod Lounge so far, and new rules and clarifications have actually already been created. I'm just waiting on other people to comment and offer more input before they're finalized.

In lieu of some changes we're planning to reveal "soon soon", a question popped up.

Just a preference.

Do you prefer all information about an artist in the Masochist Lounge to be located within one official thread, or would you prefer a more Reddit-like stream, with new posts each time?

Whichever your choice, there will be some changes coming to clarify the rules in place and to be more transparent in our decision making.

Please vote.

Anything practical to suggest? And not that.

Play nice, Jimena. He’s being helpful.

Since it wasn’t a bad idea (and because I was answering your post, and without it mine just looks dumb), I’ve taken the liberty of restoring it to its original post.

Thank you, and excuse this infringement on your civil liberties.

@NIGHTMARE©

I don’t know why you edited that out when I literally answered you right below it but that was stupid.

NIGHTMARE© wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 11:07 pm Actually forget my feedback. Do what you guys want.

No, that was a legit good idea. We were literally (no joke) just talking about that in the mod lounge, about setting a page limit for when threads may be merged. Yours was a great line for it. If it happens.

Don’t take everything so seriously, por el amor De Dios, compadre. I’ve been genuinely praising you.

I did have subforums in x/RED but instituting that from the ground up at this point might be difficult.

If you try to do a search for a thread with the word “official” in the title, the search engine here won’t do it because it’s apparently too common a word. So that’s a lot of pages to manually course through.

So yeah, could it be possible that we have an official thread and that extra threads get automatically merged?

So literally the opposite.

See, this is the problem. It’s very hard to please everyone at the same time. So rules are always going to disappoint and be welcomed by different groups.

Lol this is nothing more than posters who don’t care for/dislike the members who are complaining about the merging and editing coming to give the opposite of what is being complained about.

Who the fuck decides what artists are allowed to be discussed or not? The fuck? So basically we can only discuss the same 5 pop girls because some people on this forum are so bothered by seeing certain artist’s name come up that they want the thread removed? I love being able to come on here and discover/talk about new artists.

It REALLY is not hard to navigate this thread. No offense but this forum is not THAT on and popping to the point where you have to scroll 2-3 pages to find something.

I’m assuming we are all adults who graduated AT LEAST high school and know how to navigate a web page. I rarely every have to go past page 2 to find what I’m looking for and if I can’t, I’m fully capable of using the search function.

If we are going to literally lump everything into official threads, this forum will be DEAD.

An excellent idea, 50ShadesOfPurple! (Just that sentence, mind you)

I don’t mind the idea of us having a mini media thing. I’d have to check how much space were given, but I could upgrade it if necessary and host hd performances and stuff for members to download directly. For vip members, for example.

Any other suggestions?

HRH Lady Mamacita wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:29 pm Also Jorge whatever happened to the xtina news website?

I don’t have time, Migs. Between work and my Masters, I have zero time.

This has been a fun break from that lol

Kitana wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:09 pm Actually, I had another idea. Maybe all newly created threads can stay up for 24 hours, then and only then will mods will have the ability to decide whether the thread can be merged?

Ultimately, quality control is one of the responsibilities for mods and merging is absolutely necessary to keep from having too many redundant topics.

Well, redundancy would be addressed by merging. In one of the scenarios we’re discussing, we would only merge threads that were similar to each other within the same time period. Basically, if poster A posts about Demi and poster B posts about Demi 5 minutes later, that will be merged. Nightmare opening a new thread when a new DC movie is getting low RottenTomatoes scores about to be released would NOT be merged into the DC Universe thread. However, if he opens a new thread for every new DC movie announced a year in advance, that will get merged.

So we’re going to be looking at time when we merge, but in fun consistent ways that will both please and annoy you all

DevotionHURTS wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:08 pm I also like the anti-spam idea.

I love the fact that we are allowed free speech in the forum, but spamming should be off limits.

What do you consider spamming? Specific examples, please. Not trying to start a problem, just want to know where you would draw the line. And it has to be something more than you disliking Nightingale.

@Kitana, duly noted. We are still going to go ahead with some changes, and clarifications, just to ensure things are running smoothly in all places.

We’re having a great laugh conversation in the Inquisitor’s Lounge.

Kitana wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:28 pm I actually think merging topics, especially in the Masochist sub-forum, is not done enough. I’m tired of certain members spamming new threads for the same set of artists that no one but them cares about or some dumb shit because they’re high.

Maybe a suitable alternative could be banning members that spam new threads about their favorite artists or limiting how many threads users can post in a 24-hour period?

Your feud with @HRH Lady Mamacita continues...

Is that Ariana?

We're not moderating your interactions. Just organizing threads so they're easier to find.

But this is what the thread is for. Please limit yourself only to suggestions.

The idea of Aguilera.RED is to have a forum with as little rules as possible so you can roam free.

However, there seems to be a desire for less anarchy and perhaps a more applicable set of rules.

So, survey time.

What clarifications would you like done to existing rules? What new rules would you like to see in place? Which current rule feels out of place?

I'll await your comments.

- PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THESE QUESTIONS.
- This isn't the thread to establish conversation between you.
- This is for you all to tell me what's working, what's not, and what you think should change. So talk to me, please.
- Feel free to leave your agreement or disagreement with a given idea in the form of a reaction (thumbs up & down works great!) instead.

Any plausible suggestions will be discussed with the rest of the moderator team for implementation, but I will decide what changes.
