- Also, we are silenced in this site in Trending, as Graphenium noticed.
This causes many issues, as we can't attract new people in this forum, our topics are not getting the fair attention as they deserve, and if we're shadowbanned, I think we need to know why... don't you?
There are posts with 1 upvote in there, but none of ours is - https://communities.win/c/trending
- Please help this community to have active moderation. We have trolls, shills, and this is making us only work for ourselves... We have no community effort. And do you know what the enemy has?
Community... fkin... effort...
We had those round table posts and Graphenium tried to make this happen again. I think we would all benefit from good moderation and combining our efforts.
Some of you participated already in the discussion. But if you want a community effort, and fair moderation, as well as mods selected by you personally... Please review the links and answer there with your choices.
Now, it's clear for me that I want to vote for Graphenium and Thisisnotanexit as mods... But there are others, who offered themselves as mods, and I just want to be sure when we choose, so we can select our mods and make this place according to our wants.
Please take some time to help this community to become better than it currently is... And we currently are just pushing for our own topics... We need a common goal!
I'm looking at you u/pkvi and u/ThirdEyeVision ... Where are your applications to become mods? I think that the more mods are selected, then we have more ideas on how to move forward as a group... And we need bright minds!!!!
Sorry, if I miss someone, who has proven their potential to take this community to the next level. Please take some time to reply in the posts that Thisisnotanexit has compiled out of his free will.
No need to reply to this post, and you can make posts of your own with your wants and needs about this community, or just present why you think you're a proper mod for this community.
We need mods! And when the voting happens, I don't want you to miss it.
Please help this community to become better - any ideas are appreciated!
The only problem I've seen lately with needing mod support was the garbage user posting kiddie comments...that got handled instantly.
Where's the fire?
Wow, I don't even know about that but thankfully that has been dealt with perfectly.
Well, my point is for round tables and focusing our brain power in a combined research instead of every person for themselves.
Our enemy is united... Do we hope to defeat that enemy, while we're divided? Just makes no sense to me..
(Dual post, comments are live at this mirror.)
Why do you call it a mirror? Until you make the words be ~sdrawkcab~ backwards, there is no mirror, nor anything being mirrored.
That's the same post through scored... Definitely not a mirror post...
And how is my post same post "dual" in your opinion?
It looks like you posted the same content to c/Conspiracies three times. If you mean you posted to scored.co, and communities.win, and conspiracies.win, all three resolve to the same server and appear together everywhere. Conspiracies has c/Conspiracies only, the other two have all subs. If I had done that without realizing, I would feel free to self-delete two of them, as there's no harm in that. There's a slight bit of optics issue in everyone seeing it three times, convo fragmentation risk. If you wanted three different audiences you need three different subs after the c and the /.
Anyway, my point was, there's no reason for commenting (except meta) on the two mirrors because the same people seeing the mirrors can comment on the post where the convo is collecting, out of centrality. But take my words however you will, they were just seeking helpfulness.

Why do people even bother with the designated .wins instead of the general communities.win ?? Literally the only use that has is to see the u/# pictures and gifs. Like u/#popcorn or u/#donaldtrumpdancing.
They hog resources, and are clunky, and the user has a hard (or impossible) time accessing other forums. Just use communities.win. Besides the minor inconvenience of u/#, it's easier and superior in every way.
I like the u/#s, I think we need more..
Because Scored started with, and its biggest component is still, what became patriots.win with its then-established bells and whistles, which are a couple more than the one you enumerated. Scored is about standardizing this into one place across thousands of forum components. Those very few communities with separate domains, including Conspiracies, have those couple perks, and they allow multiple entry for newcomers as well, but your overall observation of clunkiness is part of the general platform position of obscurantism and minimalism, and most of us and the admins like that about it.
That explains why thedonald.win and patriots.win were used. So GAW, conspriacies, etc. were founded when TheDonald.win was still the domain?
Like what? Besides the u/#picturesandgifs?
How so?
I don't know when the GreatAwakening and Conspiracies communities migrated from Reddit, but it was after r/TheDonald in 2019 and the platform was ready for them. I believe the first migration was to communities.win, with thedonald.win held by a connected individual who then declined to relinquish the domain, and patriots.win having been held as the backup for that eventuality. Not sure how long thedonald.win was a parallel domain to communities.win.
The idea was that new communities might be helped by having their own domains, and that multiple domains for the same community helps search (although the site is generally opposed to search so that's minimal). There are a few other coding bells and whistles, notably user flairs, some API tweaks that I have heard witnessed but can't describe, and unique formatting, allowing the one-community site to maintain a distinct look and feel, and also allowing those who never need to discover all of Scored to enjoy their niche. But that's 80% optics for those for whom optics are important. To me the core platform is exceptionally well-founded, like Gab is, and that's what's important.
All the nominally "20/12/31" communities in this nonscientific survey were founded around that time give or take a couple months. The specific names like ConsumeProduct and KotakuInAction(2) came earlier, the generic names like Animals and Christianity all came pretty much at once in Feb 2021. Add: Communities founded between Oct 2021 and 9 Feb 2022 were created in a second wave by established users getting special admin permission, after that community creation was open to everyone with a few contribs.
You're correct... That's very weird...
I will remove the two latest posts...
And the two additional posts show different timing... WTF? Makes no sense to me.
Ok, thank you noting that. It's true.
There are several ways we can inadvertently create the same post or comment and get it assigned two or three different IDs and timestamps, which each take on their own life with identical content. Each post is its own page and so people who hit upon essential clones (mirrors) of the same page would be helped by being directed to a most central discussion page (this one). So you did the right thing, thanks. Obviously when I comment on the three different pages, it looks pretty redundant in feed, but I've been known to make the same comment on different pages dozens of times if need be.
Let me be clear - you were absolutely right to do it! Actually, through your comments I noticed that I somehow posted this 3 times.
It just seemed that you were replying to one post, as the 3 posts had the same name... I mistook this as a spam on one post, which was my mistake.
You helped me fixed this strange spam, so I thank you for that. Honestly.
