    i made 3 threads like this last year and look where i am now in TF. my point is, don’t get upset about your application failing. you’ve handled it more maturely than many do.


    enjoy your break

    85% is way too high. Because of the threshold, 3 objections can wipe out your application and it is very hard to bring the ratio to a stable ground.


    My first suggestion is to lower the threshold to a more even number, something that fits with the average vote count. Something like 65%. This is good as we can maintain a ratio for the votes. Having a ratio also can show who is respected in the community, and who isn’t. This shouldn’t be too important for applications though.


    My second suggestion is to remove the threshold. One of the reasons this is better is because it prevents members, that vote for reasons such as out of spite, harming the final result. In the current applications one person could wreck the final result. Having no threshold can prevent that. Additionally, if the applicant has a rough history, the EAO can decide what to do. Having no threshold gives the EAO even more control of the application’s result, which is completely fine. (I prefer suggestion 2 more)

    you need to reply with a word that links to the word in the reply above.


    like for example
    table > dining > food > spaghetti


    ill start off with:

    I think one of the main reasons people don't follow the forum guidelines as much as we used to is mainly due to the fact that punishments aren't as 'simple' as they were on ProBoards. For example, I recall getting a fair few amount of warnings before a FSR was filed against me last year. However, on Flarum, you apparently only have the ability to throw out bans for a set amount of days. This means that actually pushing the rules on people is harder.


    There's also been much less Forum Sanction Requests about than there used to be and I think they need to make a return. Admins and OPs can both file them (as we've seen in the past) so maybe they need to be updated to Flarum's standards. This means that we should make it so that certain rule breakings get a 1 or 2 day ban on the forum, instead of a warning.

      Shdwo This is pretty much redundant as you won't be setting up servers or configuring plugins anytime soon.

    It’s not redundant though. If a user has knowledge of how a plugin functions and how to understand things that are thrown out like errors then that can help other members of the admin team.
