A lot of that stems from the actual hosting site terminating the link unless you have a "premium" membership there.
Free hosting is very limited and comes with terms.
Yeah I get those emails from Photobucket threatening to blur all my photos if I don't pay

Photobucket is garbage. They started that crap with me and I sent them a very carefully but strongly worded response along the lines of "go boil your head and get knotted".
Was there any response back?

Like "this post has been reported by another member?" what's the point?

Doesn't a red triangle appear where the report button is once they have been reported?

I believe so.

@W1zzard I believe he is asking so that a member doesn’t waste moderator time by reporting again. But I think the forum already has that feature, as noted above. I’ve seen it many times.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
With the omnipresent high levels of toxicity in the forums and significant delays in moderator response at times (in part due to 'sectioning'), I don't mind the ability to report a post that has already been reported. If this issue is severe enough, perhaps multiple reports lights a fire under whoever is available to take action before things turn worse and they have a bigger mess to clean up. All too often we've seen posts that break the rules go on for quite a while before action is taken. It doesn't always happen like this, but response could be a lot better generally.

I like that symbol which shows a post had action taken on it. What's odd is if the post breaks the rules, why is it left for all to see in the first place? Sometimes there is relevant content, other times, we've been left scratching our heads on why it was left there.

This is not a technical glitch. There were a few comments which received moderation. When moderators remove a comment it's not actually deleted, it's just hidden from public view. It's still present in the thread and thus still counted. This is only a guess on my part as I'm not TPU staff, but that's how it works on one of the sites I moderate on.

yep thats how it works, deleted or hidden posts (even merged ones) will have a 'hidden' post that didn't lose its number

Just to expand on this slightly, I am deliberately counting the comments in the simplest way, because that gives most performance. Not counting the hidden/deleted posts adds server load, which is significant with our huge traffic. Might be somethign to look into, after our next server upgrade, mid-2021, after ICL and Zen 3 server have launched

Zen 3 server for TPU? I think that alone is a massive endorsement for AMD

Not sure about that yet, might end up going ICL. But right now there is 0 data for either, so not even worth thinking about

Hi,
Surprising with all the traffic you say you have "I'm not doubting what you say here" you just don't have any advertisements really anywhere that I've ever noticed especially logged out.
Guessing hardware samples are paying off ublock origin is bored shitless lol

we have no ads on the forums, only on the main site, which is where the vast majority of traffic is, also traffic more relevant for advertising

We have only first-party ads that we sell to advertisers directly, no more 3rd party ad networks. It's a loss in income, but I rather have a nice, usable site. Considering that our traffic is going up and up, while everyone else is down, this looks like a good approach, and in the end will lead to more $$.. i hope :D

Hi,
Think I used the wrong term
I should of said no popup adverts
Guess with win-10 lots of popups have been considered normal behaviour to throw at people kudos for not doing that lol

Thats good
Its those 3rd party ad networks that sometimes slide dodgy ads ( as with hidden Content such as trojens and viral loads no one wants).
