[QUOTE=LukeSaward] idk if you're being sexist, transphobic or what, Mango Man, but quit it.
Discrimination of any kind is not permitted on this site. [/QUOTE] You have been brainwashed by the state, but don't worry, I am here to help. I speak only the truth.
Just think about it:
Anime boy pfp => Always a guy Anime girl pfp => Always a guy Non-anime pfp => Always a guy
Only guys exist on the internet and my scientific investigation concluded that. I am deeply offended that you would dare call me transphobic for I am simply a gamer.
[QUOTE=jackzfiml] No that’s a parody account of @starsmiley. Elo staff can’t ban themselves. [/QUOTE] 🤓
[QUOTE=Liv] As far as we're aware though, both of them are paid employees under ELO now. They got rid of the volunteer program a couple months ago so the only logical conclusion to draw now is they're both being paid to work on the site currently, unlike before where it was voluntary. [/QUOTE] They are paid employees now, but I view them in my mind seperately from the people that were already with ELO before purchasing the site.
Also on another note, I really dislike the idea of the @SpeedrunCom account. I think people tend to oversell the importance of community and blah blah but like seriously I would very much prefer talking to someone I can actually attach a real name to than some generic staff account, it gives me similar feelings to receiving one of those "noreply" emails.
@LukeSaward everyone knows that there are only boys on the internet.
@SheepHello really needs to chill. These are forums for a childrens block game on the internet. He should understand that no serious conversation will ever happen here and that it only happens on the linked discord server since they ban anyone they don't like. I'm with you O.D.W.! Meme gang 4 life 💪🤓🤙
[QUOTE=Torchic] Maybe we can give some time to Elo to fit themselves more in speedrun.com? [/QUOTE] It has been almost a year since they purchased the site (13/10/2020)
[QUOTE=Merl_] Personally I like the new layout/font on the profile and front page, just don't like having the news there. I'm super excited for the mod tools, and before they started working on changes, the site was running way faster than it used to when Pac was the owner. [/QUOTE] I'll start off by saying that the performance improvements at the start were huge and I'm super appreciative of them. At the same time though, when buying the site they had a massive stickied thread with site feedback, bugs, and a google form for feedback. In those threads and forms there were some changes that were very frequently requested, such as IL and API updates. Instead the first months from the users perspective had nothing new besides pronouns, a new layout that was extremely controversial and incomplete, and ads. Maybe the only thing there that was actually requested was pronouns and to a speedrunning website they might as well be one of the least important features (also why not just have a status box?)
Also yes the mod tools sound awesome, but they got announced the moment the forums were getting super salty (from what I remember) and now they seem to be working on other things such as performance updates and undocumented API changes. The pedantic part of me feels like while they are coming, they were announced far too early to try to save face.
[QUOTE=MarioCerealFan] The only other unanonymous site staff who responds to posts is starsmiley. [/QUOTE] When I talk about staff I'm not counting Meta and Star as they were both volunteer staff under Pac. When I say "staff" I am referring to employees of ELO that are unrelated to the site.
[QUOTE=MarioCerealFan] But seriously, following a user is such a simple feature, it could probably easily be added. That was not asking for anything complicated. [/QUOTE] I hard disagree. I have heard horror stories of the sites codebase and as someone that has been coding since they were 9 I can assure you that everything sounds 100x easier than it really is. Not to mention there is the difficulty curve of getting used to this new codebase that wasn't written by you.
Buys the site, promises to do good and just talks for ages about how much community matters Adds ads to the site Completely ignored the entire community they praised for so long Locks Pac's goodbye thread Only starts communicating after months of complaining by the community Outside of LewisAndSpark + Camcorder, the only communication we get is from an anonymous staff account that wont reveal their identity on a community driven site
Yeah we shouldnt bully them over every single message they send, but there is plenty reason to not be happy with them. From my perspective they acquired the site out of commercial interest and not because they have any care for speedrunning. Most of the staff dont even speedrun. Atleast Pac was a member of one of the oldest speedrunning communities out there lol
[QUOTE=Hi] Hm, can't you make it so people that have more than 100 posts show up? Is there too many people with more than 100 posts? [/QUOTE] Yes, but it means that for every person we find there are 500 more that we haven't found yet. Ideally we could just use a bot to check every account but the /users/ endpoint is dead meaning that the only alternative to get every single user on the site is to manually check every single possible combination of legal characters with the lengths 1 to 21 which with modern internet speeds is just not feasible.
You can now sort by either total posts or posts per day
