Annoying: people who like a lot of posts in a row for some reason, spamming my notifications with uselessly generic and identical 'updates'. Or, the forum equiv. of Brief and Match/Fiverr notification spamvertizing.
Less annoying: said likes seemingly building my "rank" (but presumably not my "posting privilege" because lol).
Overly long P.S.: I don't regard posting on any online forum as a privilege. This can clearly be seen from the huge amount of useless posts on here (thanks, congrats, all that jazz) and indeed any other forum where anyone may share their thoughts, whether they be insightful or particularly stinky guano. It did strike me from that discussion elsewhere on the forum where the drama fizzled out because everyone was nice and thoughtful (boring, but congrats on the adulting!) that the only people who seem to care about "posting privilege" are those who have fallen on the wrong side for whatever reason and are silenced. I suppose that would wake your sense of privilege up, but it's not privilege, it's just lazy, automated [bad wording] that hardly solves the issues and indeed brings up more.
Anyway, it's nice to see that people have been warned for suggesting that more shepherding might be a more effective tactic than limiting posts. Is this where the ugly specter of racism comes in - as in "not wanting to seem" by "impacting certain groups" who are "more likely to"? It's certainly discrimination if you approach it from that angle (and what large corporation isn't at least a bit woke these days?), but the way I see it, it's a wimpy excuse. You want a good forum, then it needs consistent, fair [bad wording] based on concrete rules that apply to everyone. You want millions of "congratulate me for doing something that tens, if not hundreds of thousands have achieved" posts, um.... yeah. And there will always be some chippy little [insert your favorite bad word for an irritating person here] who screams racism when they are disciplined for something that had precisely [bad word] all to do with their skin color. Let me be clear in case someone tries to misread this: in instances where someone has done or said something racist, of course action should be taken. But if that person had, for example, consistently posted their gig in the wrong category and been blah blah blah and then got disciplined and then said "YOU ARE RACISTS!", well no, shut up and sit down because it's time for a good [old-fashioned and unfashionable disciplining method typically involving slippers and/or wooden spoons].
So, basically, active sheeple managers are needed, not automated beep-boops. Those sheeple managers will of course be racist, simply because of the task that befalls them. And there's the issue, in a nutshell, and why the people who shouldn't be worrying about something as nonsensical as "forum posting privilege" do - and their counterparts go on their merry way. With, I expect, zero thought to any of this and more to how this is going to make them $$$.
And that's my 2c. I've probably said nothing new! And this won't get fixed, so us privileged limited posters will simply have to tug our forelocks and pray to the Gods privileges favors us today. On my wall, because I can't be bothered to wade through the forum posting labyrinth... and perhaps it's like 0.0001% safer to post this stuff on my wall. I have no idea! Well, thanks for coming to my TED talk, you can go away now.
EDIT: I didn't proofread this or anything so w/e, have at it

Personally, I've no objection to how people identify themselves - sorry, self identify - or what they do, with whom or where. Consenting adults, blah, blah ... Although, those female athletes, who have always been female, who are found to have high tostesterone levels and banned from their sport as a result, well, that makes my blood boil. It's natural, they were born that way and, frankly, banning them is unfair. And misogenistic.
However, to get back to my point, rather than yours, here on the FF we now have paid [people who should know better], who rarely do anything. At all.
The old - legacy, you might say - ones, who are still here tend to look at males who skirt the rules as meh, shrug, but females ... oh, no - she's a bad person who must be disciplined! Even when their behaviour doesn't warrant it. More specifics would get me in trouble. This is your everyday misogeny, practiced not just here, but all over the world to one extent or another.
Complaints have been made, posts and gigs reported, but some people seem to have enchanted lives. Or, as I like to call it, male lives.
Females are accused and shamed. No enchantments for them ...

Well, yes, Emma - and you left out the misogeny, which still happens regularly and is ignored by those who should know better. Mostly on being given the "infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me ..." excuse I surmise.
And not to excuse any behaviour at all, the only thing I can think of that might be why all that you mention above is "active members", which is a key metric for publicly quoted stocks ...
BTW, just fyi - those annoying notifications can be turned off - it's in the settings somewhere, but you'll have to hunt for it.

I apparently can write status update posts but not replies to them @lloydsolutions. What an adventure in Byzantine this is turning out to be!
I should probably space out my visits if I don't want to be [bad worded] by [bad words]! In any case, it's the same criticism they've had since day 1, namely the appalling quality of user contributions (in general) on the FF and subreddit and the apparent disinterest of TPTB in doing anything to improve that.
One of the reasons I don't really come here (or to r/Fiverr) anymore is because good posts are few and far between, and my tongue tends to get me [potential bad word fun part 3]. With a whole internet of content to enjoy, well. Still, kudos to those of you who keep on fighting the good fight, though I do have to ask why you don't make better use of your time and do something less sisyphean (and presumably, more enjoyable)!
Anyway, bit rubbish this [IDK if this is a bad word] business, so I'll log off for the day. -
I have not seen you around for awhile. Are you ok?
-
I was going to bake the chocolate pizza using the recipe you shared, but it is just too hot here. It may have to wait until fall.
-
Hey @Jonbaas - can you please make a little room in your inbox, please. I'd like to send you a PM.

Hey, Coerdelion,
Have you had the heatwave in Scotland that Montana have had for the last week?
-
Jon, are you sure you can not post here? Many sellers that were banned for 1000 years are back on the FF. 🤔

That's a pretty castle, @vibronx - where is it?

Finally moving house tomorrow.
I had my busiest month ever last month and am still trying to finish off a few orders. Had to just pause all gigs to allow me to get some free time to move. It has been a week of 12-14 hour days and early starts. Gonna take a few days now to move and settle in I think before getting back to work.

Good Day, Coerdelion!
I liked you post about chocolate pizza. Is there any chance you would share a picture of it and the recipe?

What TV shows/movies are you guys watching right now? I just finished watching Manifest, a thriller about a mysterious plane, and it was amazing!

It's a similar format: pattern challenge (they have to make a garment based on a pattern they're given by the judges); transformation (they're given things like secon hand clothes, parachutes, curtains, whatever and have to transform it into ... whatever the judges say. The judges are weird. They usually pick the ugliest one). Then on the second day it's made to measure ... beautiful couture garments.
There's a theme each week. It's fun, kind ... and they all help each other. It's nice.

Testing a potential great use for this feature - One problem I had with the old forum was that you would often get responses from people who's opinion you may not value who then derail the thread from being a useful discussion and back to "halp me" type discussions.
If this type of quick post is only seen by followers of mine (mostly people I follow and who I respect), then is it possible to have a near-private discussion here with like-minded and experienced/capable sellers? Let's give it a go and discuss something here and see if it gets invaded by the masses.
When moving house, what is your biggest peeve or greatest joy?
(Also feel free to discuss or comment on the experiment idea too)
