Recently the @leaders and I have made some internal changes to how we moderate the forum. You can expect an updated community outline that is more detailed soon.
With that said, there are two changes that I’d like to clarify first:
All the community warnings will be sent via a closed PM from now on. This means that, if you have questions about why you received a warning, you can send an email to help@gethopscotch.com, and I can explain the details to you.
This decision was made to improve moderation efficiency and to allow the leaders more time to work on planning events/activities on the forum.
Fortunately, this change will not affect most of your forum experience as long as you follow the community guidelines on the forum.
This one requires a favor from all of you! We’re trying to create a more beginner-friendly space for new forum users to ask questions about Hopscotch. So, if you see someone asking questions that had been asked before, kindly explain to them again, or post a link to the topic with the same question. We will not close/merge these topics immediately because it would make the new users confused. Remember the first day you were on the forum? I bet it was overwhelming to figure out what goes where. Let’s make it more welcoming for everyone!
That’s it for now - thanks for making the forum an awesome place!
Can you please check out this post I made as to why bumping isn’t always required? I’m not mad and it’s not just for you it’s just a general statement because there wasn’t a major reason for this to be bumped. It’s been clarified that announcements don’t get clived and it should be clear by now that it’s not needed.
It’s helpful to remind, but more than once can become unkind - it’s up to each individual as to what they believe is interesting to bump. If it’s annoying you, you can flag and we can assess the situation - following up is causing more notifications.
Looking to the purpose of the topic - it has some nuggets of wisdom that are quite relevant here!
We’re you referencing my post? (Please respond, I would like to know for the future. I don’t think so because my post was a while ago, but just to be careful)
If you were, sorry @894 if my post was rude, my intentions were to help you find resources to understand when bumping was necessary, which would help in the future. Didn’t mean to come off as rude in my post!
I think your post is fine, I’m pretty Pumpkin posted that for reference. no matter who said it, it’s important to know that it’s their decision to post or bump when they want, but if it’s annoying or irritating to you. You can mute that person if they bump a lot or flag the post if you this it’s necessary.
