What are badges in kbin (when posting video or photos)
  • @kaupas24 i'm pretty sure they are post flairs, so examples might be like "meme" or "news" or "review" used for sorting/filtering within a magazine, just haven't been implemented yet

  • Quick, make as many Magazines as possible!
  • Clicking the button should keep the dialog box open for upload, weirdly hovering does seem to work for me but maybe that's a browser thing (or it's different for comments, idk)? Upload from url is not working yet if that was what you were trying.

  • Hello everyone. (I made this post on kbin too but it seems like this is the official magazine)
  • @s804 I'll apologise for both the unnecessary descriptor and the pre-emptive bans, please understand I was seeing someone posting at a very high rate to many different magazines and didn't want to wake up to a big mess in my magazines. I've helped mod other communities before and high posting rate was one of the big red flags for bot behaviour. It was not "random" and you also didn't need to troll my comment history with downvotes in retaliation. I've lifted the bans and apologise for being hasty instead of contacting you first.

  • Is there a way to block people or specific magazines so we don't have to see their comments or posts? One thing I really enjoyed about the app I'm leaving is that I can just block users who were annoy
  • @TheaoneAndOnly27 So, go to either the page for the magazine or user you want to block, you should see a ᴓ type of symbol which is the block button. On the magazine page it should be just to the right of the subscribe button, and on a user's page it should be just to the right of the follow button. Click that thing and it should go red to indicate your block is successful! Also sometimes it takes a couple seconds to register, just wait it out :)

  • How do you delete a magazine ?
  • I think it's temporarily disabled/not yet implemented, ernest can delete them as he is the instance admin but for now maybe your best option is to ask others if they want to come aboard as mods, and hand the keys over to them later on. Perhaps try a thread in /m/ModHelp and/or a pinned thread in your zines asking for help, and y'know, it's ok to feel a bit overwhelmed when you're learning a whole new thing. :)

  • Monetization options for instance administrators?
  • I suspect anyone pushing ads is probably going to find themselves swiftly defederated, lol

  • Should we establish a maximum of subs per moderators?
  • idk how some people want to spread themselves so thin in this way, I have 2 tiny zines to look after and that is already plenty. I think some people are just camping as well, I have visited quite a few freshly-made zines the past few days where there is no welcome, nothing posted, and the mod is not participating anywhere really. I know there has been downtime and lag and folks are busy too, but it is kind of a bummer if they are not even going to try. :/

  • Seeing him has brightened my day
  • i saw him last night before i went to bed, now i have seen him again upon waking. feeling truly blessed rn :3

  • Hello. This is hopefully going to be the main place on kbin to talk about World of Warcraft
  • Hi! A question: is this magazine only for retail WoW or is it ok to discuss pservers in here?

  • What is the eeriest, creepiest, most unexplainable thing you’ve experienced?
  • This is probably the only spooky thing that has happened to me (so far!): a couple months ago I was traveling for work and staying in a hotel. The room had a balcony but I tried the sliding door when I first got there, and it would not budge, even though I checked I had unlatched it properly. It was just plain stuck so I relatched it and gave up on my dream of balcony coffee mornings for the week. The night before I left, I was sitting in bed reading on my tablet and I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. I looked up to see the sliding door opening entirely of its own accord. There was nobody on the balcony, there was no earthquake that had jostled it loose, there had been no housekeeping during my stay to open it, it wasn't an electronic lock, I had no explanation! So I got up and closed the door and tried opening it again. Stuck?! I am not a ghosts person but even I was like...that is some ghost nonsense, I would totally do this if I was a ghost.

  • kbin, what are your recent skips/sees?

    There are a lot of shows out there, what have you watched recently that you would advise others to see or to skip, and why? Please try to avoid spoilers, for extra challenge :)

    as for me, I am watching Fringe for the first time recently and even though it is an older show it is a definite see, I wish I had gotten to it earlier! I really like the thing-of-the-week format that still has a bigger story, and was pleasantly surprised that there is quite a bit of horror in it, I was only expecting sci-fi!

    What scared your pants off as a kid that you just laugh at looking back?
  • The cover art for the Ghoulies movies freaked me out, like I would make a big deal about checking the toilet for those little goblins & needing the main light on in the bathroom so I could be sure they were not hiding in the toilet shadows. I was fine with a lot of other spooky stuff (and love horror now) but those goofy af toilet goblins were a major concern for years.

  • Modest Mouse - Float On
  • Ahh I have vivid memories of playing this song on Rock Band Unplugged!

  • How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
  • For mine there was very little for me to tinker with, it was a single player Azerothcore repack ready to go, which is good because I am not very technologically skilled! There have been a couple bugs, like a couple of quests are kinda janked, but I can just go into the database and mark them off as done for my character when that happens cos I don't know how to properly fix them. Most of the tinkering was things like, do I want to adjust reputation/skill gains, how much stuff do I want the auctionhouse bot to list, how many profs do I want to allow per character, things like that. But that was all very easy to do thanks to the way the repack was done, and isn't actually necessary because you can just stick with the default settings. The only thing I can't do is PvP because I don't have playerbots, but I never did PvP on WoW anyway so it doesn't affect me much. I prefer it a lot to most of the multiplayer pservers I have tried, but I did tend to play WoW as a single player game mostly anyway! :D

  • Comfort games?
  • I don't play this often enough lately but Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams is a super simple & cosy game. It's jigsaw puzzles, yes, but you also get to decorate the apartment where you're doing the puzzles. It is just a very chill, no-pressure time and often I will just mess around doing the decor side of it so I have a few different apartment vibes to choose from for when I finally decide to do a puzzle. When I get super sad & unmotivated I will do a really small easy puzzle on the bedroom desk and it helps me to get the feeling that I have completed a thing, which is sometimes enough to help get me moving on non-game things.

  • How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
  • I run my own single-player WoW-WotLK server and that is the main comfy game, the other is the Tropico series (mainly 3 & 4). I have tried a few alternatives over the years for both of these and nothing hooks me in as much, but maybe they only hook me in that much because of familiarity or nostalgia? Timberborn is I think the closest that has given me a similar feeling to Tropico (even though they are fairly different!), and I do have Guild Wars 2 which is a lot nicer overall than WoW but doesn't really give the same feeling. I should still give it another shot though, I played it for a little while before I set up the WoW server and really liked that the clothes were so customisable :D But I have been out of the loop so other suggestions would be good too!

  • How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
  • Yes, idk if it is anxiety exactly but I definitely find it stressful and discombobulating. But having the backlog sitting there looking at me is also stressful! Probably I need to take pressure off and just try to chill out with a new game, which is sort of the approach I have with drawing, like if I remove the pressure to be instantly good at it and let myself be terrible at it, it actually is a lot more fun for me and I will do it more often.

  • How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
  • Yeah good point! Come to think of it I got a new game late last year that I thought would have a good shot with pushing through that mental block and then some life stuff got very in the way and I just didn't go back to it and forgot about it until now. I should try that one again now that things are slightly less chaotic.

  • How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)?
  • I just looked Gris up and even though I tend to avoid platformers, everything else about it really appeals so I will put it on my wishlist and have a think about whether to splash out for my birthday, thank you!
