The rules to this forum has been kind of outdated for a while as it doesnt include some vital rules we need to enforce, so here is an updated version.

• Do not be toxic or engage in drama youre not involved in. If someone is annoying or hurting you and/or you believe they should be punished, report them or message the moderators/admins privately. Do not promote others to break any rules. Do not “bend the rules” to fit your wants.

• Do not troll to be “funny” or get reactions. It is not necessary and causes conflict most of the time.

• Be respectful to others opinions, choices, and beliefs. If someone says something you dont like, keep responses civil or dont respond at all.

• Do not evade bans. If you were banned, it was for a reason, and evading will escalate yourself to an IP ban. To appeal your ban, use the ban appeal category. If you wish to have an alt account, talk to the admin/mods for permission.

• Choose correct category for your topics to help keep the forum consistent and organized. Use tags to group together posts you’ve made.

• Avoid post flooding and creating low-quality topics that have no purpose. Try to re-use existing topics. No spamming.

• Do not post public or private NSFW content. This includes sharing nudes in dms, posting screenshots of conversations, memes, art, or images. Do not publicly post heavy gore images. It doesn’t matter if you state a disclosure or not.

• Do not publicly/privately share links to nsfw content. Links cannot be used to lure or trick users. Any outside platforms with nsfw content among friend must be shared privately with all party’s knowledge.

• Keep controversial topics appropriate/civil. Mentions of suicide and self harm shouldn’t be too detailed, and must have a warning tad or other appropriate labels.

• Do not post about other people without asking. This includes making callout posts, posting screenshots of personal conversations, info about someone, IP’s, specific locations, real names, or emails. This applies for bio’s too.

• No Inappropriate roleplaying in public or dms. Just because it’s in private doesnt mean it’s okay.

• Use the reputation system responsibly. Votes should reflect the quality of the message content. Do not ask for reputation or engage in reputation bombing. Do not encourage people to downvote/upvote.

• Do not abuse report system. Take it seriously. Report what you deem necessary. Do not create false reports.

• Do not try to ruin people’s reputation or create propaganda about someone. Keep personal problems in dms. Do not screenshot about other people to make a public statement about them. Do not create separate posts about drama in other posts.

• Keeps jokes/memes appropriate. If it offends someone, just be respectful and delete it and apologize to avoid further problems.

In addition to the Multiplayer Piano Site Rules, the following rules should be taken into consideration when participating on the Multiplayer Piano Community Forum.

• Do not be toxic to other members or flame in retaliation. If someone is annoying or hurting you and/or you believe they should be punished, report them or message the moderators privately.
• Do not evade bans. If you were banned, it was for a reason, and evading will escalate yourself to an IP ban. You may only use alts to appeal your ban to the staff.
• Use the reputation system responsibly. Votes should reflect the quality of the message content. Do not ask for votes or engage in reputation farming.
• Choose the most appropriate category for your topics to help keep the forum consistent and organized.
• Avoid flooding the forum with low-quality topics. Try to re-use existing topics whenever feasible. Topics should have a descriptive title to clearly express what the topic’s about to forum browsers.

Ultimately, any issues shall be resolved by the forum moderators at their discretion. If you have a complaint about any of the staff, you can contact the administrators or e-mail the owner at [email protected].

Ideally we should have moderators that are active members of the community who know people and know what’s going on so they can resolve disputes and flaming by talking to people rather than just banning whoever gets reported, as the administrators do not have the time nor insight to provide the optimal moderation experience. If you think you have what it takes to make this forum a better place for everyone, apply here.

I’m thinking @Duchess and Shazz_ might be a good start. Duchess was one of the earliest active members.

Hi, so NodeBB is a nice community platform, but I’ve always felt that it wasn’t appropriate for most of the stuff that these forums are used for.

You might remember a while back I was testing a Mastodon server, but it turned out a lot of people couldn’t use it because they didn’t have an email address and there’s no way to make it accept registrations without verifying emails. Well I found an alternative that might be more suitable for our needs.

It’s very simple to use, just sign up and start posting whatever you feel like, and see what other people are posting. No categories, no thread titles, just straight-up posts, and you can reply to any other posts to form branching threads. You can use #hashtags if you still want to organize content, however.

I think it would be a good idea to use this for all the low-quality posting and chitchat, while these forums should be used for more important, serious discussions.

@O5-6-Cowboy @Burd can y’all shitpost somewhere else please, thanks

Most of the content is all mixed up in the off-topic category so I feel like it should be broken up into sub-categories, but what sub-categories should there be?

also if you have any other ideas how the forums could be organized better, please share

@Kris curb the toxicity please

I think username has to be made of letters, numbers, underscores and maybe hyphens. That’s what you use when you @ someone, the display name you can put whatever you want with spaces and stuff.

this counts as an introduction right? idk

Spoiler

it is fixed

it used to say powered by nodebb at the bottom idk who removed that or why
