Sure, I can throw you another one of these, @Barry Benson
1-Isn't this an inclusive community that accepts all opinions? I wasn't memeing here and I legitimately don¡t like gay or transexual topic or characters in VN's. I think they are "degenerate" like I mention in the post before. It's my opinion bro, not trolling. Then again, proves my point of how mods don't know when to discern whether we're trolling or just being serious about these things.
So that's not memeing, huh? As far as I'm concerned, it makes your case worse, tbh. We're not a place open to all opinions. When have we ever been? Fuwanovel is no free speech haven and we don't particularly value it. This works 100% like a private club, and people will and have been removed for being assholes, treating our users like shit, spamming and all sorts of reasons really. You think gay and trans people are morally degenerate? Well, there's definitely no place for that opinion on fuwa. I'll leave it up this time, but you can and will get in trouble for it. In fact, if any other mod wants to give you a third strike for it I have no recourse to stop that even though I kinda like you, because they'd be absolutely right. 
The last time we tried to shitpost in the coliseum of chatter (where shitposting is supposed to happen) everyone involved in it got warnings and temporary bans.
Last time I remember giving warnings and temp bans was when people were in violation of another rule, one about trolling instead. You know what though? Mods can be wrong, and so can I. PM me about the instance and if there's anything inappropriate about a punishment, I can revoke any warning and do an official apology. 
Low-key calling me a moron is rude, bro.
Come on man, I'm the one who should feel insulted by that. Hell, you agree with me on it. You know it's not toxic. It's why you say we should differentiate between friendly banter and toxic comments, because you know it's not toxic. If anything, it only shows that we're not on the level of mutual respect I thought we were, because you think the staff is dumb enough to think that's toxic 
As a last pointer, to respond to your serious question (implying that you're not being serious about the rest of the post?) I stay here because I like it more than reddit and because the friends I've made over the time are here. I don't like the core of fuwa (if you consider the modding policies to be "the core" of this website in the first place) but that doesn't mean that I'll stay here because, in the end, I like it more than other places.
Well, not moderation policies, but what the community is like. You know and mention it too! We're a beginner-friendly "PC" community who doesn't welcome a lot of normal internet culture, which goes against a lot of what you talk about, and created a lot of discord between you and the staff team in general.

Well, angry mod to come and give you "you have two warning points for trolling lmao" as you put it, @Barry Benson. Let's take a look at this gigantic wall of text, shall we. There's stuff I probably should answer for you there. 
"Community: I honestly feel like there's a mix of a lot of people and personalities in general. It feels like in general this is a "more friendly" community in a sense, it's too PC for my tastes in general, but no matter who you are you'll end up finding people to be around within here if you look hard enough (I mean, just look at my cancerous ass.) It has way more EOP's than JOP's in general and it probably lacks elitism, which shies away potential drama which could, in short, generate more conversations. Elitism is cancer, but it's a necessary cancer, and it creates discussion, compared to just accepting new people who "Have just read Doki Doki or Grisaia and they already think they'll never read anything before." JOP's are partly right when they refer to original works being better, spoiler alert, they are because translations never deliver what the author intended, and no matter how good the translator is the majority of these games have what makes them special, taken from them. ANyways, I'm derailing too much. In general, there's a broader spectrum of people here, way less than reddit, which leads to the false belief that "we" are more cohesioned, which is a lie. I've never seen such categorization and grouping as I've seen in this medium ever. Then again, I've not been to many mediums either so yeah."
 
Community, that's a thing. We exactly intend to accept people who have just read dokidoki and grisaia and not treat them like shit and talk about how they have inferior taste or something. Your "cancerous ass" is indeed constantly mildly annoying and it has gotten you in trouble before, though you yourself talk about it later. Fuwanovel was in part precisely made to break away from the old toxic community, and you're well aware of how that works. You know what doesn't make people excited to be part of a community? Going to talk about a cool game they just played and being unilaterally told they're normie garbage who should read [insert niche thing here] instead. There are things to appreciate about popular games. You know what does feel good? When you show what you like, don't get slapped for it and get slowly introduced to more underappreciated games that are in some ways like what you've read before. This whole "EOP vs JOP" thing is beyond fuwa. If people intend to go shitting on everyone else, they probably don't belong here. Which brings us to the second point. 
 
Modding: and the last point I mention falls back on the topic of modding in this website. I'll try to sum it up saying that the mod team as it is right now feels like good modding consists solely on deleting posts that are "harmful" or "incite hate." I know that there are probably other duties you have to fulfill as a mod, but as far as I'm concerned deleting posts and handing bans without reason / warning seems to be the priority now, god bless. 
Now, inb4 angry mods come and say "You have two warning posts for trolling, lmao." Firstly, I am not putting as an example my personal experiences here because my warnings were justified (TLDR; I told someone to kill himself in a post and I created troll threads personally attacking Okami.) The issue stems from things like deleting a SoU DeSukA meme with a spongebob picture in a thread that was talking about localizations or something like that, or literally deleting a post that says "Kiri rules this community" in this thread. Mods need to start discerning which posts are clearly toxic and which posts are just friendly banter. Derailing is a shit reason to hide posts and everyone derails in general at some point. Inb4 my post is derailing.
 
Moderation is significantly easier to talk about than anything else ever as far as I'm concerned, and I can answer any questions about it anyone may have. Shoot me a pm, ping me on discord, quote me in some random thread, doesn't make a difference. 
There's one big misconception you're making here. sou desuka spongebob meme or kiri shitposting isn't being hidden because it's toxic. Only a moron would ever think it's toxic. Not even you believe it's toxic though, since you correctly talk about derailing later. Yes, it's being hidden because it's spam. You know what we don't want in serious threads? Users having to scroll through pages and pages of shitty memes to discuss what they want. Now, I love shitty memes. We have a place for them, it's the coliseum of chatter. Other forums? No thank you. Doesn't matter who does it or how wholesome it is. If someone posted a cute kitten caption here it'd be hidden just the same. 
As for removing posts of people being rude assholes, yes, we do that. We will continue to do that. Friendliness has always been fuwanovel's main thing. You don't like it? Fair enough. You might want to check out other communities instead, then. I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just not what fuwa is about. Being "PC" and making a friendly environment for VN fans is the most important thing for us. So is strict moderation of serious posts. There are a lot of other communities where you can freely do whatever you want. This isn't one of them. 100% serious question, if the main things about fuwa are big points of criticism to you, why are you even here? Do you want to torture yourself? 
"I can't count the number of times I've seen the topic of "gay/trans protagonist in an even gayer/transier adventure"
Hey, here's some shitty memeing. Can't really resist it can you? It's ok though. 
As for a last thing, we assume HMN and folk are generally memeing because you are generally memeing. We do look over your posts though. 

Back in 2015 we had a great thing going with a blog called Fabulous on Fuwa mostly run by Rose, highlighting cool users, threads and projects weekly. 
Eventually it died out, and I think it's about time we bring it back in a monthly format. 
If you're an active fuwanovel user who wants to join our team and show everyone the coolest things going on in the forums, please say so in this thread. I'll be making a team with interested members and it's as simple as keeping an eye out for cool things going on, posting it to the team and organizing things with everyone for a monthly blog post. There's also a neat badge in stock for everyone who'll be part of the team, so look forward to that!
As a secondary announcement, check out fuwa's discord channel made yesterday. We're running a monthly VN club and right now it's voting week for what we'll read. 
Let's make a great team and hope to see you soon!

Well, angry mod to come and give you "you have two warning points for trolling lmao" as you put it, @Barry Benson. Let's take a look at this gigantic wall of text, shall we. There's stuff I probably should answer for you there. 
"Community: I honestly feel like there's a mix of a lot of people and personalities in general. It feels like in general this is a "more friendly" community in a sense, it's too PC for my tastes in general, but no matter who you are you'll end up finding people to be around within here if you look hard enough (I mean, just look at my cancerous ass.) It has way more EOP's than JOP's in general and it probably lacks elitism, which shies away potential drama which could, in short, generate more conversations. Elitism is cancer, but it's a necessary cancer, and it creates discussion, compared to just accepting new people who "Have just read Doki Doki or Grisaia and they already think they'll never read anything before." JOP's are partly right when they refer to original works being better, spoiler alert, they are because translations never deliver what the author intended, and no matter how good the translator is the majority of these games have what makes them special, taken from them. ANyways, I'm derailing too much. In general, there's a broader spectrum of people here, way less than reddit, which leads to the false belief that "we" are more cohesioned, which is a lie. I've never seen such categorization and grouping as I've seen in this medium ever. Then again, I've not been to many mediums either so yeah."
 
Community, that's a thing. We exactly intend to accept people who have just read dokidoki and grisaia and not treat them like shit and talk about how they have inferior taste or something. Your "cancerous ass" is indeed constantly mildly annoying and it has gotten you in trouble before, though you yourself talk about it later. Fuwanovel was in part precisely made to break away from the old toxic community, and you're well aware of how that works. You know what doesn't make people excited to be part of a community? Going to talk about a cool game they just played and being unilaterally told they're normie garbage who should read [insert niche thing here] instead. There are things to appreciate about popular games. You know what does feel good? When you show what you like, don't get slapped for it and get slowly introduced to more underappreciated games that are in some ways like what you've read before. This whole "EOP vs JOP" thing is beyond fuwa. If people intend to go shitting on everyone else, they probably don't belong here. Which brings us to the second point. 
 
Modding: and the last point I mention falls back on the topic of modding in this website. I'll try to sum it up saying that the mod team as it is right now feels like good modding consists solely on deleting posts that are "harmful" or "incite hate." I know that there are probably other duties you have to fulfill as a mod, but as far as I'm concerned deleting posts and handing bans without reason / warning seems to be the priority now, god bless. 
Now, inb4 angry mods come and say "You have two warning posts for trolling, lmao." Firstly, I am not putting as an example my personal experiences here because my warnings were justified (TLDR; I told someone to kill himself in a post and I created troll threads personally attacking Okami.) The issue stems from things like deleting a SoU DeSukA meme with a spongebob picture in a thread that was talking about localizations or something like that, or literally deleting a post that says "Kiri rules this community" in this thread. Mods need to start discerning which posts are clearly toxic and which posts are just friendly banter. Derailing is a shit reason to hide posts and everyone derails in general at some point. Inb4 my post is derailing.
 
Moderation is significantly easier to talk about than anything else ever as far as I'm concerned, and I can answer any questions about it anyone may have. Shoot me a pm, ping me on discord, quote me in some random thread, doesn't make a difference. 
There's one big misconception you're making here. sou desuka spongebob meme or kiri shitposting isn't being hidden because it's toxic. Only a moron would ever think it's toxic. Not even you believe it's toxic though, since you correctly talk about derailing later. Yes, it's being hidden because it's spam. You know what we don't want in serious threads? Users having to scroll through pages and pages of shitty memes to discuss what they want. Now, I love shitty memes. We have a place for them, it's the coliseum of chatter. Other forums? No thank you. Doesn't matter who does it or how wholesome it is. If someone posted a cute kitten caption here it'd be hidden just the same. 
As for removing posts of people being rude assholes, yes, we do that. We will continue to do that. Friendliness has always been fuwanovel's main thing. You don't like it? Fair enough. You might want to check out other communities instead, then. I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just not what fuwa is about. Being "PC" and making a friendly environment for VN fans is the most important thing for us. So is strict moderation of serious posts. There are a lot of other communities where you can freely do whatever you want. This isn't one of them. 100% serious question, if the main things about fuwa are big points of criticism to you, why are you even here? Do you want to torture yourself?

Back in 2015 we had a great thing going with a blog called Fabulous on Fuwa mostly run by Rose, highlighting cool users, threads and projects weekly. 
Eventually it died out, and I think it's about time we bring it back in a monthly format. 
If you're an active fuwanovel user who wants to join our team and show everyone the coolest things going on in the forums, please say so in this thread. I'll be making a team with interested members and it's as simple as keeping an eye out for cool things going on, posting it to the team and organizing things with everyone for a monthly blog post. There's also a neat badge in stock for everyone who'll be part of the team, so look forward to that!
As a secondary announcement, check out fuwa's discord channel made yesterday. We're running a monthly VN club and right now it's voting week for what we'll read. 
Let's make a great team and hope to see you soon!

After about a week of setting it up, I am proud to announce that fuwanovel's official discord server is finally open! 
I imagine this is superfluous to most of you, but for the unaware, discord is a real time chatting service that's all the rage with the new kids nowdays. 
Making a discord account takes only a few seconds and is as simple as the image below so please relax, congregate and get to know all the locals in our small forum community!

To be more specific I'm NOT talking about people/companies who focus on translating / licensing / releasing / making VNs because we've had plenty of discussions about them and their actions.
I'm talking about the fans. The randoms that frequent discussion on subreddits/forums/discords, the people that buy/consume VNs, people that follow and try to interact with big VNs at social media or anime conventions and follow kickstarters or whatever. So basically not just limited to /r/visualnovels.
----------
Now I want to be fair and talk about my personal views on what I current like and dislike about the community at the moment. I'll start with the negative stuff since some of it has been on my mind more recently.
The first thing is this weird sense of negativity I've been seeing more of more. Some of it is more subtle some of it are super obviously angry/douchey/elitist posts. There's things where people are angry with the way some of the companies handle releases of VNs. Some are justified, some are.. perhaps a bit overblown.
I'm more concerned with people who give other fans shit for supporting the company/companies they like to shit on. Regardless of whether you like a company or not some people still enjoy what companies despite what they do (or the so called problems don't affect these fans). A particular thing I've seen is calling people 'shills' just for trying to defend things company does that people might be misinformed about but since it's the in-thing to 'hate' on the company it's alright to use dumb insults like that.
And then outside the company thing, just creating (whether directly or indirectly) these weird elitist circlejerks against certain types of fandoms. JOPs vs EOPs. Official TLs vs Fan TLs. Kickstarters vs Not. Japanese made VNs vs OELVN/EVNs. Story VNs vs Moeges, How 18+ Content should be handled etc. For the EVNs in particular, I admit I haven't read any, but I've honestly started to wonder where these EVN fans are even supposed to talk about ones they like when many places like to call the popular EVNs "babbys first VNs" and make a lot of assumptions about EVNs that may not even be true.
Now obviously I'm not saying you have to force yourself to like things you don't like, just be respectful to be people who like things different from you and cut out the silly elitist/circlejerky like comments.
The only other thing is outside the occasional discussion, kickstarter topics, some video review and the few VN podcasts that exist, there isn't much in the way of ... fun VN content creation? Like I know streaming can't really work for viewers unless it's a really known entity (but even then) but I rarely see visual novel related memes (but maybe they're just purposefully screened out/deleted here), I don't see a dedicated person who makes reviews consistently, and I don't see any big drives for the community itself to spread the love of VNs to others outside big trends that happen by accident. I know the last point in particular is hard to do but you'd think we'd at least try or something.
----
As said though, despite all the said above there are a bunch of things I like.
The fact that the VN community is just slowly growing and people are constantly finding new ways to sell VNs they like to other people is nice. There's always helpful people around when there's a legit issue people may have with the game.
Some discussions on various topics are a lot more interesting and mature than discussions I see on other media like movies, video games, sports, etc.
The content creation/other stuff that does exist is really nice to see since there's a bunch of cool projects that are taking off related to VNs.
While I do wish more of the communities were merged together it's still nice to see a whole lot of different ACTIVE VN communities for many types of VNs or that focus on certain parts that are cool and varied. Some are for getting people to read a particular type of VN, some are for people who like a certain company, etc.
I think it's nice to see how people get passionate can get towards the VN developers/TLers/whatever, seeing the hype of newer releases, and seeing people bond and meet when they otherwise wouldn't through a still niche medium. And just seeing lots of different kinds of VNs that get popular and seeing why people like them.

Anyway, I ranted quite a bit. What are you guys' thoughts on the current community/fanbase?

So recently, I've been playing a game called Space Engine, which is a really cool universe simulator where you can explore stars, planets, galaxies and the like.  I've stumbled onto a very interesting solar system, so I've decided to name all of the planets after Fuwanovel members, in honor of this great community.
Important Note: The solar system only contains 25 planets, so obviously I couldn't reference all of Fuwanovel's members.  I tried my best to name those after very prominent users.  If you don't see a planet named after you, my deepest apologies.  I could only fit so much within the technical limit.
With that said, here is the Fuwanovel Solar System.
 

Hey, a lot of VNs only take the time of talented japanese youngsters and nothing else to make, heh. 
Cheap probably isn't the word for it, you get me though. 
I'm pretty fond of nukige all in all, applaud the companies making them for doing god's work. 

Happy birthday, my fellow countryman.
