Attachments temporarily unavailable
Posted on 2022-11-06, 17:33
Hi all, Over the past several weeks there have been occasional moments of increased latency when requesting files from the object storage used to store file attachments that generally did not impact the availability of the site, typically corresponding with reported service issues . In the past hour …

Hi B0ilz, Welcome to VOGONS! Please do not post links to pirated software here or tell people where they can download software illegally. It is against the rules you agreed to follow when you joined. Thanks,

Plasma: It is your choice whether to follow the guidance you’ve received from moderators or to make up your own rules “based on the existing content here”. Since you haven’t said what you are afraid might happen and have indicated you are done with this thread, I guess I can’t help alleviate that …

Please try to understand the distinction between not getting an answer and getting an answer that you don’t like. Multiple moderators and community members have shared with you what behaviour that is acceptable here and the reasons why things are the way they are. I can tell that this is intensely …

I understand how comforting it can feel to see some bright line delineating exactly what is OK and what is not in every situation, and unfortunately I cannot offer that to you here. I know the vagueness of some of the rules and the perceived or actual inconsistencies in moderation can be frustrating …

I understand and sympathise with your frustration around this sort of decision making. Believe me when I say that it is as disappointing to me as it is to anyone else that legislators are unwilling to pass badly needed orphan works legislation that would allow moderators to quit being the annoying …

VOGONS: 20th Anniversary Retro Edition? Sure, why not! logo-20anniversary.jpg It is gratifying for me to see how long and how well VOGONS has remained relevant, especially given how many online community spaces have been absorbed by the big corporate social networking sites. Happy anniversary to you …

Hi all, Several posts in this thread have been deleted because they violated the VOGONS community standards . These rules exist to prevent flamewars that destroy the ability of the entire community to have good discussions about contentious topics. It is possible to disagree completely with someone …

Re: Moderator violating Community Standards
Posted on 2021-06-18, 18:53
Hi all, Regarding the concern about content being removed: VOGONS community standards exist to ensure as many people as possible feel safe to openly discuss whatever (topical) ideas come to mind. They aim to keep discussions elevated above petty flamewars and allow difficult or controversial ideas …

The tenor of the last several posts is completely inappropriate for VOGONS. Please review the community guidelines before continuing to post here. If you feel like a community member is acting in bad faith, please engage them by asking clarifying questions, because you may just have misunderstood …

Hi everyone. While it is OK to hold and express strong opinions, and to argue them forcefully, please do not make your arguments in a way which insults others. “I find this completely outrageous and wrong, and I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t agree” is OK. “I find this completely outrageous …

Hi everyone. It’s helpful to note that a vendor has removed some content from their servers, and it’s OK to express discontent about this, but please do not foment conspiracy theories, use discriminatory jokes, or make insulting comments about other people or groups of people on VOGONS. These …

Folks, This thread is turning into version 2 of the Coronavirus thread. Do not post unfounded conspiracy theories as to the origin of the riots. This is against the board rules. If this continues, this thread will also be locked or removed. Thank you.

Without them, it is impossible to tell at a glance what kind of thread this is. Is it a brand new thread you might want to jump in on? Is it a very active, large thread? Is it a build thread with lots of pages? Etc. Not so. The “replies” column gives you this information. [hr] Ok. It was taken with …

Is this on purpose. If so, why? I really like having high quality pics and not sure what the reasoning behind reducing image quality / size if it is under 2MB. It is intended. The primary resource constraint for the site is disk space utilisation, and there’s no reason to store a 1.2MiB file when …
