@Talias your example has been show literally as soon as anyone says negative things or search for something they get -2 rep for no reason but the person hating

i recommend that yall should add a security system to protect trolls from posting infected or malicious files instead of focusing on something like that rn, like a 1 week limit for the newer accounts to be able to make posts or reply, recently a ton of new accounts are appearing just to spread infected files and spam posts. That's honestly ruining the whole forum.
@salieri if that is true, that is very concerning.. if this is an actual issue i definitely think it takes top priority
for now i think the smartest decision is to only download things from people with a high enough reputation score or you can see through their profile they are an active user in the community. please stay safe

@salieri I wonder if this was the 'experiment' that godfather was talking about before their account was suspended.
Do not ask me to reupload something if you've contributed nothing to the site.

@Dexizuki no idea, i didnt paid attention to what happened for his account getting suspended, but i've been seeing a lot of creators from booth/gumroad assets coming to this forum complain and some of them are the authors of those infected files.

@Kitten, thank you for your recommendation; we will definitely start doing this!
@VexinTenoa, Your initial response was addressing something that I did not say. I made these changes based on feedback I received from several individuals who messaged me about things that confused them on the forums. It's impossible to please everyone. Also your comments about the "stupid ideas"... Many members have edited their posts to include "Found By..." when they found what they were searching for, also this was never a "rule". I feel that your focus seems to be solely on ensuring that people locate the "looking for" topics you've made... Also, your communication style is coming across as childish. It's difficult to take you seriously. Also, you don't seem to contribute much to the community beyond "looking for" topics. Your toxic attitude is unproductive and doesn't contribute to anything. It's not hard to approach discussions with a level of respect and professionalism, and comments such as "lazy" and "bored" are not helpful or constructive.
@Talias I don't think it's a good idea to ban people who comment "+1" or "bump," and I've noticed that you also engage in these practices. Additionally, it's not fair to tell someone to "do their work properly" because you had a hard time with something and when you don't have a full understanding of what goes on behind the scenes. You need to understand that different tasks in the RipperStore are handled by different people, and things may not be as straightforward as they appear. People need to be patient and understanding, as these tasks can take time and effort to complete.
@salieri, I understand your concern about implementing a security system on the forum, but it would require a lot of time and effort and it's not that simple. It's important for users to be cautious and mindful of what they download from the forum, just as with any other website or platform. There are users like @Tenshi and a few more who help to flag potentially malicious posts. I work a full-time job and it's very hard to keep up with everything on the forums at all times. I will look into your idea of time-gating new users before they can post but I don't think this wouldn't really fix the issue. On several occasions, a forum guest would stumble upon a post in which someone was seeking an avatar. The visitor would create an account to share the avatar but never log in again. This is one disadvantage of time-gating. At the end of the day, it's the responsibility of the users to be careful and cautious when downloading any files from the forum as we cannot guarantee that all files are safe.
@Dexizuki I would like to clarify that I did not ban or suspend TheGodfather. They chose to delete their own account and create a new one. I guess they wanted to start fresh with a new account, they are free to do so, and I will not suspend them on that new account.
DM me for any issues

Not gonna lie this is the worst idea that's come from ripper store ever since they Want to add in a premium accounts place no offense but. Looking for section isn't un organised there's a search bar for people to find things that have already been searched for. your idea would be a waste because say someone wanted a model that had already been found but you deleted it that means that person has to post it again and wait double the time when they could just search it up and find it instantly
@VexinTenoa You posted 76 looking for posts without any links and some of which didn't have any pictures either, only recently have you started posting ones with actual links, 4 to be specific (these don't count your deleted posts)(I think this also explains why your reputation is in the minus, instead of people just being haters) I would say your experience is vastly different to a normal user's, since most post with links and pictures instead of a vague description. These people do make it easier to find stuff, of course, but seeing if something has been found or not is still not the easiest through all the posts especially when people are still bumping for another item (in cases where there are multiple items in a post and only 1-2 has been found) The bumping itself isn't the problem since that helps people discover the post and potentially send the item people are looking for
@Talias Also the other person who mentioned searching via image: 1. That's pretty hard to program, even google has issues with it still 2. A lot of items have multiple pictures and people might post different ones of the same thing 3. Even different cropping or quality can make a program not recognize 2 images as the same thing, it would be time wasted to try making it work -

@Dexizuki I wasn't suspended lol. I wanted to see if I have a set of stalkers, which confirmed I do.
My drops are only up for 5 days.
Don't ask me to reupload something if I look at your profile and you contributed nothing to the site. Nothing includes items that you got from someone else are are just using to leech more paid items.

@TheReGodfather I don't even know who you are, and no one has time to stalk someone who spends most of their time initiating petty arguments against everyone, if what SpookyVersace said about you is true. I just saw @'s to a name that wasn't present in the thread and a username going by "A Former User" in the thread and assumed it was suspended.

@Dexizuki Ok I was talking about a different group of people making it their life mission to going through my profile and downvote me on every post including contributions but blowoff king. This is a grade S level concerted effort of people that got a major hard on for me if this had 4 upvotes and seems someone just had to vote it back down. Now for someone that "dosen't" know me, you seem to got a mouthful to say.
Yo @SpookyVersace who's been mass downvoting me?

@salieri Indeed you did lol. So did three other people. but it seems 4 other "people" cough trash accounts voted it down for no reason. Those do not show.

oh rip, that's some nonsense drama, hella childish of them

This is a joke for obvious reasons btw, for those who can't tell this is sarcasm.

@TheReGodfather I see, you don't like reading more than a few sentences. Say no more, I got ya fam:
Jokes aside, you're overthinking it a bit.

Not exactly related to the op topic but i think it might be an idea that when new users join they get an automatic message informing them to use the search function first before making a LF post. And explaining how to use the search function effectively such as toggling the Search In tab down to "Titles and Posts" (this should be the default imo). And not only searching for the item by it's english name but by it's japanese kana and kanji. As well as search using the booth page url or just the end number string eg. 4509369. as well as searching using the booth page store name. I know myself and a few others have told new users to use the search function when seeing duplicate posts. but it still keeps happening. I know it will still happen even with an automatic message, but it might help cut it down. Also a little explainer showing how to post pictures as some new users seem to have trouble with that, as posting a picture along with a post gives it a better chance of not being ignored.

You will :3

I'm not sure if its already been said because this thread has gotten a bit cluttered. But would it be possible to maybe make a system where we could have a button to request to have our LF post moved to the found section once the item(s) have been found? or to just be able to move the posts ourselves to a new topic.
