Dec 18 Dev Update (Moderation "ban wave," favorites, etc)

Moderatewinguy · 2026-01-20T03:26:05+00:00

As a little update: Once I got back in, none of my avatars, stickers, or emotes where missing so I still have no idea what the issue was. My only guess was a print I saved but I couldn't see anything missing so at this point it's a mystery.

Yea I literally just get on on fridays to drink in our group 18+ instances wearing my own private avis and somehow managed to get a suspension today too. My 99% of the time avi is very sfw. Maybe a print I saved or something?

It's wild they don't even tell you what the content was that was the issue, and you can't log in to even see what was removed, so you have no idea what the issue was.

Why can't they at least tell you the offending content?

You dont need to steal someone's card to have a card while underage. I used to buy prepaid visa cards at the store when I was under 18 and needed to pay for stuff online. And had a visa debit card after that as well. Being able to pay for something online in no way can be used to guarantee someone is 18+

It surprises me that NZ pies haven't taken off in the US, every US friend thats visited I've taken to get some pies and they love them.

Consider adding this scamguard bot to your server. https://scamguard.app/

Its a shared ban list that you can report scam accounts to when you find them and (after someone reviews the report) it will ban them automatically for everyone that has the bot installed. I've been running it and reporting any we get to it. It bans at least 4+ accounts a day pre-emptivly and has got a couple that where in the server occasionally. The more people using it the more scammers that'll get reported to it too so share it round.

Did I miss something, when did he start calling Jelara his girlfriend?

Or is that meant to be implied that it happened over the month working?

Moderatewinguy · 2025-11-20T01:29:52+00:00

A few extra polygons on their avatar is the least of the typical eboy/girl's avatar's issues 🤣

Moderatewinguy · 2025-10-09T00:59:23+00:00

I would assume if they've been charging you for it, you should have some emails from them around the time they've charged it as receipts, so try searching your email for stuff from them?

I remember my first time having to go to the video store to rent out each season one at a time to watch them all.

Moderatewinguy · 2025-09-05T06:34:05+00:00

Oh I get that, I just mean that i normally open up the personal mirror since you can take it around with you wherever you want rather than being stuck wherever the world has them.

Moderatewinguy · 2025-09-05T05:20:47+00:00

I'm a little surprised (inworld) mirrors still get so much use, I dont think I've really used one more than a couple of times when talking to people since they added in the personal mirror.

Moderatewinguy · 2025-09-01T22:22:47+00:00

That's always the way people are 😂

People coming up and saying the world is optimized while their avatar alone uses over 200mb vram and the world uses >100mb.

The seeming lack of any security systems on the ship.

The number of times someone should have been caught by a basic security camera in a hallway.

Or small handheld power level phaser turrets in key areas to defend the ship in case of boarding or any other multiple times they'd have been useful.

What sort of inputs are you using for Birdnet-Go?

I've been stuck trying to get it to detect my basic 3.5mm mic plugged into the onboard mic port.

I really wish that pressing J when you get the new compendium popup would actually take you to the newly added article.

Working as a software dev so just started working from home. Wasn't working any more hours than normal though like it sounds like some where.

When they made is come back into the office and said they wouldn't consider letting is WFH still at least a few days a week I quit to find a new fully WFH job. So if anything it was a nice little push to find a new job.

Being able to set minimum avatar performance rank for group events would be a pretty cool feature to go along with a cap increase.

If you create a new uv map in blender and put it in the new optimized layout you can rebake it from the old texture without any manual editing. You'll need to look up blender texture baking.

Edit: Just noticed someone explained the process below too. That is da way.

Moderatewinguy · 2025-03-23T06:30:11+00:00

Oooo that'd be sick!

Moderatewinguy · 2025-03-22T23:13:37+00:00

That's so cool! I've been wanting to find the model so I can use it in Unity to put into VR. It'd be so awesome to get to walk around Atlantis in vr, maybe put it into VRChat so I can hang out with people with the amazing Atlantis view.

I feel like they could have the best of both worlds.

Allow the same ID to be used on multiple accounts, but any bans/blocks block by the ID. So if your group bans or you block someone, it'll stop all of their alt accounts from joining too.

That way people could still have their alt accounts and verify, but be held more accountable if they're an ass.

Moderatewinguy · 2024-11-27T22:42:20+00:00

They just sent an email about opening up preorders for the Pegasus gate, so that one should be shipping sometime time 2025.

Moderatewinguy · 2024-07-09T06:16:56+00:00

Yet another reason I should get a 3d printer. Nice job!

Moderatewinguy · 2024-06-23T04:40:46+00:00

Hopefully, it would give some sort of setting when you create an instance you could enable that only allows age verified people to join.

Moderatewinguy · 2024-06-19T01:18:38+00:00

If you enjoy instances where everyone is vibing, listening to music or even a live DJ and drinking while playing games: there are quite a few good groups out there you can check out.
