Here’s a meme by @ShayyShayy about the new comment feature

I hate them so much. I wish there would be an alternative ready yet. This is just such a shame.
Community driven my ass.

Wait, you can just "restore message"? Deleted messages just show "this message is deleted", but aren't actually deleted?
The fuck?

@Oreo321Oreo321 yeah of course its so that if you wanted the spam messages back you can do that

@Oreo321Oreo321 the original poster of a comment was able to edit the comment even after deletion, and re-write the original message potentially. However, I think this has been fixed now, and comments can now be properly deleted (?)

some feedback

Comments:

no. please axe this entirely this is a really bad no good idea. you really wanna invite the most notoriously difficult to moderate aspect of YouTube straight onto a website where moderators are volunteers with far fewer resources? Helllllllll no dawg I did not sign up for that, delete.

Statistics on Profile Page:

Neat. I would actually like more statistics like the number of games you've ran, stuff sr.c used to have that got removed for some reason. It'd be right at home on this new display.

"Games Followed" showing which boards you've visited, how much and when is incredibly strange though and kind of weird and violating. Please do not.

I would recommend everyone to just unfollow every game they follow, until src fixed this bs

Assuming this thread is still being monitored, I would like to ask if the useless widgets on the game pages are staying, can they at least be optional? I find the forum posts one quite depressing, since the 3 most recent threads were 3 months, 1 year and 3 years ago. This makes the community look a lot less active than it actually is.

I did this yesterday, but ofc the one thing they didn't think of is people actually unfollowing games, so the stats remain on your profile. Lovely.

Aside from all the criticism about comments (theres plenty of that so I suppose elo can already see the problem) I still hope we can get a change so people can chose to have 1 timing method (like rta for example) being the main focus and using the second timer (like IGT) for tie-breaks. Theres a lot of games that try to have minimum% categories and need to use 1 for the goal (number of items, number of presses of a button, etc) and the other for the time so in case 2 people get the same goal the fastest gets the wr (as its still speedrunning)

I mean it took for me 24 hours to take effect. Which is super dumb and stupid. Caching hooray

It also took about two days for the new mod to show up

In the "Recent Threads" sections, moderators don't have the sword icon next to their name.

I was going to use the coment section to promote myself, is that allowed? or is that advertising

... literally why?

i wonder if advertising my own stuff is advertising

Because i wanna be famous. All the hours i put into this hobby, i want something out of it for my work. I don't feel im the only one that thinks themselves that can be among the top in the world. right?

The runs from this category now display as "Drink & Sit" in the browser tab's title instead of reading as "Drink & Sit"

It says "Drink and Sit" to me, must be a weird bug on your end.
