We have no plans to lock or kill the site so long as people use it and we’re all still alive and able to maintain it.
 
There will be technical changes, and there will be thematic changes as MLP itself changes, but I intend to die of old age and the site to survive me.

Once the usual workflows of the site are satisfied (uploading, searching, voting, commenting, posting, sending messages) we’ll start pushing people over. It’s not there yet (no write actions are implemented other than registration and changing filters).

Quite a lot of my forum posts are anonymous, and there’s no way to find them after I post them without having to remember which posts I made. There’s no easy list for them, and this only covers forum posts that are publicly linked to our accounts.
 
I think it would be better if our anonymous posts were included in the page I linked.

There are several features missing or should be added to this site. I have two very reasonable suggestions.
 
  1. Hide/Remove Comments  
    There are times when users may break the site rules (for an example #0 and #1) I think every individual should have the option to delete unnecessary comments or at least hide it from other viewers. The uploader or artist may modify their posts at their own hands especially when they feel like they’re being attacked.
     
    It is optional to report comments however, but I do believe it would be more accurate to remove certain comments manually by the user. It’s just like hiding or changing filters of a specific tag to hide.
     
    Pros  
  • Content Removal  
  • Clears Spam Comments
     
    Cons  
  • Slightly Abusive  
  • Unnecessary Removal
     
     
  1. Block/Hide Users
     
    Sometimes most users may discover something or someone they don’t like. I am not referring to tag filters, blocking should be an option or being able to hide the user and in addition to unable to view their content (e.g. comments, forums, posts).
     
    Everyone has opinions to share but no one should not be mistreated. Harassment and bullying a user is unnecessary. Blocking a person would definitely help avoid messages and comments of any kind from a user that is misbehaving.
     
    Pros  
  • Helps Ignore Trolls  
  • Disables Direct Messaging From The User That Is Blocked
     
    Cons  
  • Unnecessary Abuse (e.g. blocking critics, site moderators, admin)  
  • Lose Privileges From Receiving Updates From User That’s Blocked (e.g. new posts, incoming Direct Messages, new notifications)
     
    That is all I have for now.  
    Hopefully this was understandable.

“Slightly Abusive”  
Uh. What stops me flagging every comment on my uploads?
 
“blocking should be an option or being able to hide the user and in addition to unable to view their content (e.g. comments, forums, posts)”
 
You could just not read/react to them.

That said, I’ve found staff have always been fast and efficient at dealing with actual problems, and have always acted with the utmost discretion.

I mean if someone is going to remove a comment then there should be a reason, no? I understand some comments can be hateful or off topic but if it’s for criticism, then why remove it?

Okay, let’s say I dislike an artist. I start working to be the only person to upload their stuff, checking their main publish site day and night (maybe with a bot). I publish all their things before anyone else.
 
Then I just delete all the comments forever.
 
What I’m trying to point out is that this idea is abusive and can make ostracizing artists/users a game.
 
As for @ing you, that is automatic in the reply process. You even did it yourself.

That was literally why I put “Slightly Abusive” under Cons not everyone will agree with this idea. This is just my suggestion.
 
This is the main reason what’s wrong with this site. It may not be perfect as I expected when I joined. So here I am now.

I understand some comments can be hateful or off topic but if it’s for criticism, then why remove it?
 
The number of reports I had to deal with, when I was a mod, that were against constructive, critical comments tells me that this isn’t ever going to be a good idea. Just off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen or so users who would love to be able to delete any comments on their uploads that were even mildly critical. It’s an idea that has been suggested multiple times, and rejected in each case because it’s too open to abuse.
 
Blocking or hiding users has also been suggested and rejected several times for similar reasons.

Okay, here’s an example what I mean:  
Let’s say someone comments on your post, they say nice things and describe how good it looks - but wait… you just removed their comments. Why?  
That’s abusive if you’d ask me.
 
If someone were to harass a user simply because they couldn’t draw perfect, would you think it’s okay for them to spit out curse words and death threats?
 
Probably not.
