We have volunteers from all over the planet - what hours are ‘nightshift’ for you?

@Ciaran
There’s a time frame when you’re all absent and the trolls have been taking advantage of this.

That would be nighttime where I live.

@乃ﾑりん乇ﾑ尺ｲ
Well, there’s almost always someone here, but we don’t see everything. Did you report it?

I only see one recent report from you and it seems it was acted on pretty quickly, and didn’t involve any kind of trolls. Maybe the problem isn’t that there aren’t people on duty, but that we don’t read every single post or comment on the site.

Next time please report whatever you are talking about, ok?

Seriously - maybe none of us have even seen whatever it is that you’re referring to yet. So whatever it is, if it’s rule breaking, please report it and we’ll look into it.

@Ciaran
Okay.

@乃ﾑりん乇ﾑ尺ｲ
Just in case I’ve miscommunicated, please report whatever trolling you’re referring to. Even if it’s something that happened yesterday or the day before if it hasn’t been acted on yet then there’s a chance none of us are even aware of it.

For example, I know there’s people periodically trolling on 6 and 9 year old images, and we only discover many of those because of reports. And if you’re talking about something in a containment zone like the GamerGate thread, then I don’t think any of us even read those.

So, if you saw trolling and no one did anything about it, there’s a good chance none of us even know about it. So please report it so we can try to keep that off kind of behavior off of the site.

And, if we just didn’t find it actionable, I’ll let you know why.

So, what are the chances the open report limit can be raised? I have 3 open right now and am sitting on at least 3 more…

@Background Pony #699F
The report limit was created because the vast majority of people who open more than a single report at once are artists/commissioners who do so to report all of their artwork one by one to be deleted or something. 3 reports seemed reasonable for a legitimate user to have open at once, while preventing abusers from opening too many reports for things that can be dealt with in one report.

Wasn’t the report limit 5 reports open at a time, before the big drama that happened last year over Nazi pics on the site?

@ichiban iceychan 1517
That just exacerbated the issue as people “on both sides” would go on trying to report every comment and forum post in multiple threads and just filling the queue with junk, some very intentionally.

@Princess Celestia
Guess I’m just an outlier, then. Or spend too much time on the site.

BTW, still/again at the cap of 3 open reports (1 day ago, 5 days ago, 6 days ago), and presently awaiting a slot to report a user with undeleted month-old spam forum posts.

@Background Pony #699F
Some of your reports are a little difficult, so they’re taking a while. I claimed the oldest one though and will get it done tomorrow, and will try to grab the other two if no one else does before I get to them.

Hello, is there a way to make it so that images with the suggestive filter don’t show up in the first place? As much as I love Trixie, I’m not always trying to have a screen full of her XD

You can create a new filter; go to your “Filters” page by going down to the Default and clicking the “Copy and Customize” button, then adding “Suggestive” to the “Hide” section.

@The Smiling Pony
Thank you!

Okay I followed that advice but it says there’s an error and it won’t tell what the error is

@Ika Musume (Fl0)
Most likely is because of the name; you’ll have to save the filter with a unique name.

@The Smiling Pony
Okay thank you I will try again

It works now for sure for sure!!! TYSM

I have a question on this/how to do this…

How do you customise your own OC’s tag/name tag? I’ve seen some oc tags when you click on them have a picture of the character and a description about them? Is there any requirement or something you have to do? All I have gathered about this so far as the OC/person does not need to be a popular artist or Conten uploader & you don’t need to be admin/moderator.

My main oc tags are

OC:CJ Vampire OC: Mozuku OC:Moe The Gryphon & OC:Seaphire.

I am wondering about this as I have seen people with their own customised OC tags that have their own OC picture + desc attached to it…if you’re lost to what I am on about this is it:

I’ve always wanted to customise my OC’s tag page but I do not know how to or if there is a way I can… Is there a way to verify/claim a OC Tag which maybe needed to edit/customise it like this?

This is a example of something I’ve seen that I wish I could do/customise to my OC tags…

If theres anything I need to do or to work on, contact or require, just let me know and I will do that.

@The Smiling Pony
Ohhh, thank you; I didn’t know there was a request place, or I just missed it/never saw it.

I will request/look into it, appreciate it :)

That’ll be the last art I’ll make on Derpi probably.

There’s a BP who keeps adding an unnecessary tag on one of my images and no matter how many times I keep removing the tag, they keep adding it back. Is there a way to ban them or just prevent them from editing the tags on the image?

@DisgruntledUnicorn
I locked the tag.

@LightningBolt
Thank you
