POF Upgrades

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Well that explains why POF was down for a few days haha.

We do plan on updated to vB4.x in the near future. This will drastically change a lot here on the forums and something we are and aren't looking forward to

How drastically...? As in BBcodes would be changed, forum layout, some skins, and having different buttons moved to different places? Or more internal stuff that we mostly wouldn't notice? Just a bit curious as to how much everything'll change, and if you have an idea of the time you'll switch.

I'll be the first to admit that our policies may not be for everyone's likings but please, try to respect what the mods and admins of the forums are trying to do here. All of them are volunteers that put in their own time to help the community to be safe and enjoyable experience here on POF.

Some of you have recently displayed some hostile and disrespectful opinions of the mods just trying to do their duties. But if the mods didn't do their jobs, this place would quickly turn into a spam and troll war infested forum. I don't think any of us really wish this to happen here. We want to try to provide a place where people can be encouraged and not put down for the smallest comments.

I'm not sure if this is the place to discuss this, and if its not feel free to edit this part out (although I'd rather it stay...). I understand that you mods need to uphold all the rules and such, because otherwise it would be, as you said, a spam and troll war infested forum. On that same note, I have seen a lot more unneeded editing than when I joined last year. As I said, I know that rules must be upheld, but a lot of this editing is quite unneeded, such as in the activities (most would agree that as long as people are participating in the game and aren't having full blown conversations that last several pages then it should be fine) or more recently someone was edited for saying Disney World because that was supposedly Personal Information. On several occasions me and several others have stated where we are going on vacations and haven't really been edited until now.

In no way am I questioning the authority of the mods/admins, but I do feel as if there is a lot of unneeded editing, deleting, and the occasional banning of users when what they did is not really harming anyone. I just felt that this would be a good time to voice my opinion, but I do not at all mean to act "trollish" or flame anyone.
