speaking only for the female side it’s most often, probably 95% in random media and best of tiktok burps, you definitely should check those updates if you’re intent on catching them. sometimes you’ll see it in threads where people are posting old youtube links.

I’ll keep an eye out for sure. I have more free time than many of you likely do due to still being a full time college student, so I’ll do my best :)
If I can throw a suggestion out there since we’re on the topic of moderation (less specifically towards TheTraveler) but what’s the whole logic behind many of the topics? Like does anyone actually know what the hell “random media” is? whenever I’ve peeked in it seems to be a lot of tiktoks even though there’s (at least one) thread for tiktoks specifically. IDK. Again, I don’t use the forums for content, but feels like the whole thing would be a lot less cluttered if there was a clearer process for posting stuff such that things belonged in specific site-based threads with clear labels so things can be found easier later rather than constant requests for old videos or reposts.

I’ve always wished there were more mods just moving things and merging topics. Any random Tiktok post should be merged to the main Tiktok thread, and any model’s new random threads should be merged into their main thread. There’s more things like this for sure but you get the idea.

I like this idea, and I’ll try and stay on top of that to keep things more consistent and orderly when I can :)

One of the things that irks me the most is when someone posts on a several years old topic just to be like “ANYONE STILL HAVE THIS?” I have never openly complained about it to not seem pedantic but that shit is incredibly annoying imo.

Some forums automatically lock threads when they’re too old. I’m neutral on this idea, but it would probably be possible.

I do love some threads that are oldies but goodies getting updates, but a lot of the time it is a meaningless bump. I’m not sure how that could be prevented other than locking threads, though 
Yeah I think it’s rare enough that it’s not a problem, but it’s a good tool to have in the toolbox.
I’m happy to improve categorising. On the old site there was one massive thread that people posted absolutely everything into. One of the objectives when we moved to discourse was to split things up a bit more. I get that it might seem messy though, I guess it’s about finding a balance.

I honestly think the opposite would be preferable. Like meaningless bumps suck but I’d rather have long running threads than a lot of new threads covering old topics

I think merging threads pretty aggressively on aggregate does a lot more good than bad.
I think labeling content would also help a lot. Ideally, every content post would include the name of the creator and when there are enough in a misc/platform-focused thread, they’d all be moved to a seperate thread for the creator to avoid cluttering. But that would make it easier to search for stuff

the issue is we have basically have two types of threads, ones that are too broad to be useful or be too specific to be necessary past a couple posts. A lot of dead end threads and a lot of bottomless pit threads. I think content just need to have a place. And if there isn’t a place appropriate for it, that’s when a thread like “random media” should be used.

I think there are far too many threads about specific individuals cluttering up things. I get there are some people that consistently provide content or something relevant but I think we could do with less “Has insert random TikTok or Twitch user ever burped in a stream?” type threads.

How about a “Streamer Request” thread? We actually may already have one, now that I think of it

I think a generalized streamer request thread is a fantastic idea honestly probably will get more traction than threads named after someone many of us have never heard of
