I might as well post my thoughts here. Keep in mind I haven't really been on in the last week so there might be some gaps in my knowledge, especially about the topic in question.


This is true. Even though the message counter was removed there have been a few cases of people just posting a lot of (honestly unimportant) messages, so the forum section on the home page would just be filled with their names. And no, I don't mean only 1 or 2 cases.

For the purpose of this topic, I'll still use the phrase 'message farming' since we haven't yet adopted a new phrase.


Firstly, I wouldn't consider being outside of the Top 5 much of a reason against message farming, it's more about how many messages you send rather than your placement. It's not a good way to look at it, although admittedly, compared to others you don't really have that big of a problem with farming. The warn was probably because you got involved in a topic that promoted it, and maybe some of your messages there contributed to the problem (again, going back to what I said earlier I didn't see the comments so I could be partially wrong).


I don't think we're triggerhappy, and I'd argue our inaction might've gotten us here. I also don't think we're overcorrecting, and if people wanna agree/disagree with something there are several reactions that exist.

Mods have always cracked down on spammy messages, it's just that spam is more prevalent now.


This is not true, you were warned for something else entirely according to the logs, and the reason is a bit 💀. Warns also don't automatically go away.


This is pretty good, more people should read it.


This is true, ESPECIALLY for anyone 13+. Anyone under 13 probably shouldn't be on social media because it's not healthy long term (even for adults tbh) but that's not my call to make. Regardless of age though, the rules really aren't that hard to follow.


I wouldn't keep it only for MKPC because there's only so much that can be spoken about. Anything Nintendo related is perfectly fine, and if people wanna discuss about big things like GD or Roblox for example, idm those either. Same forum rules would still apply.


The problem with this argument is that it implies we disregard the safe spaces people are entitled to, which is not true. We aren't making MKPC unsafe in the slightest. We're all for friend interactions but there are more sensible ways to do it (I'll get to it in the next quote).

Bit of life advice unrelated to the subject (and this goes to everyone), but everyone will have to eventually go out and interact with others, and you can't hide on the internet forever. If you do like the internet to escape, please just be aware of your limits and know what's healthy.


There is a difference between being social and being competitive about being social. Yes, this was a more valid argument back when the leaderboards were still around, but it still comes off as borderline attention seeking.

If we go back to the 'safe space' argument, it should be safe for everyone, and not the few people dominating messages on the forum. What is one to do if their message gets ignored and doesn't get the small attention they wanted because someone else posted garbage? There's a lot of young people here who may not have the ability to understand or cope with it. If they came here to feel part of a community but aren't, then I can't honestly say it would be a safe space for them. We're not cracking down because we're assholes, we're also trying to level the playing field.


Definitely makes my job easier but it's not happening. Although few, there are still some good topics out there.



I agree with the idea of the original poster receiving a warn, although other people probably shouldn't have been fueling it too which is why the warns may have been issued. A new term ASAP might be nice too.

I think this is an awesome initiative and I can't wait to see what tracks you showcase next

Might be a bit of a stretch but a page of highlighted/featured tracks would be cool (ik 'top rated' exists but I assume a lot of these picks won't be from that list)
