[FT] Spoiler Zone!
Click to display The UHD is already a discord server for howrse, people are 100% happy with that. Please please please do not remove the forums! I don't know how the mods feel about this, but the community is pretty clear it's a bad idea. |
Click to display Rules: "We highly recommend you not to answer Private Messages from people you don't know, even if they also are part of the Discord server. Do not hesitate to report any inappropriate situation on the Howrse support and/or to Discord directly" So they know its going to be a problem and are just like "yeah just don't answer messages, that'll fix it." as if people can't send explicit or harassing content anyway. Not answering a harassing message doesn't magically make it not exist .

Click to display Im not even ALLOWED DISCORD for Pete's sake. This is THE MOST ridiculous thing I have ever seen and Im heartbroken because the forums are a huge part of my game.

Hundreds of games have done that, just please leave the forums! |

Click to display Im not even ALLOWED DISCORD for Pete's sake. This is THE MOST ridiculous thing I have ever seen and Im heartbroken because the forums are a huge part of my game. Click to display I use discord, only on UHD. I feel like sine UHD already exists, why does howrse need to make another one. Sure howrse doesn't control the UHD, but that's one of it's best qualities |

They should make the server *optional* and keep the forums.

Click to display also there's an introduction channel for people to introduce themselves including their age so all you have to do is easily search there to find minors. they couldn't have made it easier to target minors the channel says "Use this channel to present yourself, give your name account and your version" but what it does not say is "DON'T INCLUDE YOUR AGE" so many people are including their age. This is really upsetting for a website that seemed to really want to protect the safety of their users. I really expected better.

Sure howrse doesn't control the UHD, but that's one of it's best qualities Because it's clearly not official nor supervised? Unofficial forums are just that, and they need to stay this way. If it happens in January, Howrse NEEDS to provide another official source, and that's that.
|
Click to display So they removed the ability to even see how long ago we were connected (There was an "online or not" feature on Howrse) on here, but on that all's fair game? Oh no.
|
Click to display We shouldn't have to go to an entirely different platform to speak to each other for this game. Some of us do as a CHOICE. But removal of forums takes that choice away. Not everyone is comfortable with going to Discord. Not to mention like... you're really just going to rely on a whole different platform? Explain lol.
|
Click to display Just to clarify earlier, I meant finding mods here on the game if you can't access Discord. Anyone else suddenly thinking that the couple of times recently we lost access to the forums wasn't an "accident" at all?

Gonna lose a loooot of players for this one. Good job

Click to display Joined just to investigate and give my common sense on this. NOT A fan by any means. First off, people are listing ages in the introductory portion of the server. That wouldn't be too big of an issue but with online, they're risking minors getting exposed and exploited. Secondly, it's an "English Only" server. Sure, no big deal with translators existing but I myself got muted on the server for a minor comment in another language. Three, You can't DM mods or admins with issues or risk gettitng banned, so I've heard. They also wont figure out a way to ensure people wont message random folks, and just encourage players tot "ignore" it. Honestly, Howrse. This might be your downfall, you're risking losing alot of good people and players over this.

@Nalu93
It's disgusting how it's set up. Normally, I wouldn't mind. But to not even be able to contact mods over serious issues is bizarre.

I will not support this game if I can't even ask for help or talk to friends

So think about what your doing and how this may affect otherwise if you ignore everyone will leave

Click to display As an active Discord user, moderator, and admin (not of this new server thank you very much), I am very disappointed in everything I'm seeing in this "Official Server". First of all, I am not super active in Howrse forums, but I sure know how much people rely on them for community. Discord is an excellent platform and can be an asset to Howrse, IF USED CORRECTLY. Unfortunately, it's looking like it will be the polar opposite of an asset right now. Don't let this be your downfall, Howrse. Secondly, I am hoping the exploitation I am dreading does not take place with the young players sharing their ages in the Official server. I've seen the absolutely disgusting messages young people receive because they shared their ages online. Thirdly, if you want a welcoming server, you're going to have to welcome everyone, not just the people you speak the same language as. And what is this banning I'm seeing left and right? Not a place I want to hang out in, just saying. Take this to heart, admin. Now would be a great time to start listening to the players before bad things start happening, whether that be you losing players or rather, underage kids getting exploited.
