    Kaguya reacted to Tay in Survey: Community Improvements You Want   
    Hi everybody,
    It's been a while. I'll make a personal update post at some point, but for the moment I'm posting to ask our users to take the first of what may be a series of surveys we put out this Summer. This first survey is essentially an open invitation to tell me exactly what problems are bothering you about the site, anonymously. My site work this Summer will be heavily influenced by this survey, so if you care about Fuwa and want to see site improvements, please participate.
    Survey Link: https://goo.gl/forms/DHWvWdmusKKXZBh43
    I want to thank @Emi for a recent email, @Clephas for some recent posts in the forums I've read which gave me encouragement, all our moderators, @Decay for his patience with my crazy schedule and a soft VNTS pause, and all of our users for keeping Fuwanovel alive. Much love to all of you.

    This is something I'd like to post about on the front site. A community update is long-overdue and there's a lot to talk about. I haven't looked at the analytics for a few weeks, but the site's still growing traffic-wise. The front site's major traffic goes to VNTS and Reviews. Kaguya showed some of the forums data, I'll add that walkthroughs are still big. And VNTL-Moon, oddly, is still getting traffic despite being woefully outdated and buggy.

    Can't see main site at all, but I can bring some neat forum stats!
    We've been really about the exact same for the past year and a half. After we killed torrents there was a big decline, then a soft one until mid 2016 where we reached what we have right now, where it has been more or less stuck since forever. We get about as many new users as we lose old ones, and so the balance remains stable (note that we're approaching what has historically been out lowest period of activity in the year, as you can see by all the declines around this time.)  
    We can still consistently reach over 150 topics almost every month, which is already more than when I joined the forums. 
    The community right now is pretty stable, though we can't really match up to our relevance in the old days.
    But that's torrents for you.

    Kaguya got a reaction from Plk_Lesiak in Contributing to FuwaReviews - technical questions   
    @Decay is your man and the person who controls the fuwareviews team (if I'm not mistaken.)
    When you're part of the team you get to login somewhere else in a nice interface that lets you write your review (and that I always fuck up the html of.)
    It's its own thing with its own formating and rules outside of the forums, though. 
    Guest reviews are also a thing, so don't need to necessarily be part of it I think. 
    EDIT: There's no harm in posting this type of doubt on the forums, but for anyone else with "where the hell do I learn things?!?!" questions, I should be able to answer just about any of them through a pm.

    Kaguya got a reaction from Plk_Lesiak in Worried About H7N9 and some other stuff   
    Hey, I read about that before. The world health organization has a page on it.
    According to that, it's pretty hard for the virus to pass from person to person, and we can't get it from eating chicken or eggs either, thankfully. 
    It's an unfortunate fact that news reporters usually want their articles to be seen, and end up exaggerating their stories pretty often to cause fear or rage or any number of emotions that makes ideas stick in people's minds and makes them want to share them. There's a lot of fearmongering and very little truth to be found in a lot of articles because of that. It also often ends up helping radicalize people into extremist ideologies, which is always pretty rough. 
    It's still important to know about and really shitty since it does cause hundreds of chinese people to get sick once every year. Then again, people who do get sick seem to be those that have a lot of contact with birds in marketplaces with poor hygiene conditions and lots of live birds. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you're in a position like that.

    I've reached out to the people involved and encouraged them to contact the moderator investigating this issue.  I encourage anyone else to report their complaints from unresolved moderation issues--abuse-related or not, publicly here or privately via PM--to assist the investigation.  As Dergonu points out, this is second-hand info that I can't verify myself due to the nature of moderation.  It could just be a problem of optics.  However, moderators can see "removed" posts so they'll be able to get to the bottom of this--as long as they have a thread title to investigate.

    We do have admin control panel access, so it should be possible, but I have no idea how to do it and might break the forums as a result.
    Could maybe look into it.

    This is kind of an interesting one for me (and don't be afraid to start an argument if there's something that seriously bothers you. I can't promise changes will be made, but it's definitely worthwhile to listen to the community.) 
    Hiding posts in particular is something we never gave warnings for, not that it usually happens on blogs in the first place. 
    If someone makes a thread, should it be the duty of the mod team to message whoever made the thread that posts in it were hidden? I'd lean towards no, but a blog might be different because it feels like a much more personal thing. 
    We do, after all, have self-moderation toggled on for blogs, but no one can delete or edit comments in a thread just because they made it. 
    I dunno. Maybe it's worth thinking about.
