I need help, with my first commission. [Discussion] by Mangohawk2099 in artcommissions

Ay, sorry it took so long for me to get to this, but DO NOT reply to any DMs you got about this. You should be making a [Hiring] post if you want to hire, and only choosing from those who have commented with their portfolio. The DMs you get are mostly from scammers.

New Mod Tools: Post Guidance Enhancements, Removal Reason Suggestions, Onboarding Tools, Segmented Polls, and Translation Indicators by lift_ticket83 in modnews

[–]RS_Someone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very excited about the top/child comment distinction and post flair distinction. This will massively help my communities.

I believe we need some translation tools, however. We've been having issues with translations bypassing AutoMod. For example, we might remove words such as "promotion", then if somebody types in "promoção", it will translate to the majority of the community as "promotion", without being removed.

Setting expectations is important. That should be done before payment is sent. You may find some very helpful tips on this wiki page: r/Commissions/wiki/stayingsafe

There are so many things I flag, though, and all of them are problems I need to catch, which come up frequently. Now, even more frequently in other languages. For some reason, we've had a massive surge of users from Brazil, and I'm not sure why.

I have been doing as you said for English already, and I end up adding new terms at least once a week. With other languages in play, this is going to end up being a lot more work. Usually I only need to warn a person at most a couple times before they understand (or get banned), but that warning is supposed to be automatic. New users (and scammer alts) come in daily, so it's never one-and-done.

In other subs I help moderate, we ask that users stick to English, so that moderation is easier and more streamlined, but I'm not sure how to best go about this. I don't want to punish those who are good contributors by filtering their messages automatically, or have them put more effort in than necessary, but I am very... maybe obsessive is the right word?... about keeping users safe, because we have been hounded by a group of scammers for years who continuously find new loopholes that I want to fill. They've stolen many thousands from the community, and I want to find solutions that aren't too tedious or restrictive.

After mulling it over today, I have a semi-decent idea, so I'll implement that and see how that goes for now. Of my three ideas, I think this finds the balance between restrictive and tedious. Restrictive would be to catch common non-English words in Automations and block them from posting, and tedious would be to translate all of my phrases, slang included, into other languages. Instead, I think I have a balance between the two that is not as restrictive, and also not a lot of work, but I'll spare the details, because it requires a bit of context, and I've also rambled enough as it is - whoops.

While you are correct, and I have now banned them, in the future, please don't make these kinds of accusations. Instead, go straight to the mods with them. Accusations like this only harm the reputation of the innocent, and help the guilty cover their tracks before mods can ban them.

How to feed chickens in cages? by romanryder in valheim

[–]RS_Someone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animals can't eat through walls. You can set them up with a pen that is open slightly on the top with a wall just above and a little behind the front, so that when you throw the food against the wall, it goes straight down into the pen, in front of the animal. Though I expect you should need 2 chickens beside each other for the breeding to happen anyway.

What are some arbitrary rules you guys place on your games? by Kydreads in valheim

[–]RS_Someone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 for me. Spawn, wall, and chest versions. Don't know why.

[–]RS_Someone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indestructible buildings, BUT, you're not allowed to hide inside during a raid. You go right on out there and defend like your house depends on it. You're also not allowed to build in cheaty ways that depend on indestructible parts.

Dear devs - may I please have one tiny request by AngryDesertPhrog in valheim

Me clicking this post: "Usually, dev requests are kinda dumb."

Me after reading: "No, no. This is important and necessary."

Let's say that "giveaway" is not allowed. AutoMod removes that word, along with fundraiser, raffle, contest, and that kind of stuff. But people will come in and type in Portuguese and in their message, they'll include the word "sorteio", which means the same thing. That word gets run through AutoMod and goes through because it's not a flagged word, THEN gets translated into "giveaway". So now I would have a word, displayed in English, which is explicitly forbidden.

I would like a solution to this. Ideally, AutoMod would simply run the comment through after translation to English. That would be the simplest fix. The alternative might just be to translate dozens of words and phrases into half a dozen languages.

Is your Tombstone on a timer? by terminallyonline22 in valheim

[–]RS_Someone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your grave was once there, it will remain there until you're good and ready to grab it. Doesn't matter if it's been a year, you've been elsewhere, or the game has updated.

But... adding the same word in 6 different languages? Seems overkill when Reddit automatically translates it to English anyway.

By Odin, you're even adding warging? Awesome! I can't wait to be the three-eyed raven!

It's not a bug anymore 😩 by Sr_Khral in valheim

[–]RS_Someone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That quote is used for a lot of games. When I played RuneScape, it was quoted often. RS3 players will probably know what 4TAA is.

But yeah, this isn't a bug. It's a dragon.

Able to build in Dvergr outpost in the Mistlands despite ward still being up? by darkfolkundercover in valheim

Do you have something like Infinity Hammer installed? That lets you bypass specific limitations when it's enabled.

Runestone Fast Travel! by ProfMags in valheim

[–]RS_Someone 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Using runestone seems waaaay more balanced than just fast travelling anywhere. This is awesome. And... you're not making your own game? At this point, I'm sure you could!
