Why the hell are people on SMR so fucking obsessed over this ID verification shit? There are risks on both sides! It's a dead horse, for the love of god why do SMR users keep beating it?? Literally no where but this one drama blog have I seen this issue get dragged through the mud so much. There is no winning.
Different people weigh different risks differently! It's almost like adult humans are individuals who can make educated decisions for themselves based on available information. Stop shoving the information around with your passive aggressive bullshit and let people take it in at face value.
Ofc it's FR tumblr that insists that either side is the moral high ground and that isn't going to change. I'd like to beat this into their thick skulls but I don't think I'd even chip the surface so I'm gonna bitch about it here instead. God, just as we had some good wanker material, this cranks back up.

It has already been proven that Aequorin at least checks in on SMR at least, because when that one person started lying that he was banned for spamming, Aeq replied to the SMR post and corrected that it was actually multiaccounting, not spamming.
Yeah, and honestly, even with 'ID Verification' you can't be guaranteed that it is actually the user's ID.
I mean, they don't know the real name, and that should absolutely be blocked out, so what is to say they don't grab their mother's or father's ID card, block everything out but the age, and they are now 18+
Plus, the whole issue, to my understanding, had nothing to do with verifying age, but the entire fact TOS says that linked material must adhere to FR's TOS. Which means no NSFW stuff.

Yeah, and that's just another risk to be taken, y'know? Like it's all give and take, no matter what side you're on. You're making a gamble whether you allow people with or without verification. I'm personally on the side of verification, simply because I'm an old internet coot and verification for age has always been a thing for NSFW spaces I, personally, have been a part of. But that's my choice to make, as an adult.
And yeah, at the end of the day, the only reason this shit is kicked up again is because some dipshit or another decided to bring it up in the comments and another one decided to submit an ask about it. When it isn't even related to the topic at hand. At all. Ugh. I'm just exhausted with this topic, I thought they'd gotten it out of their system with the first round of it.

On the same boat as you, anon. Wasn't there a whole discussion about this months back on another server that tried to suggest this 'real ID verification' thing that went down badly? The consensus was that sending literally any type of real ID is dangerous and can be used against the user who sent it, and that the admin would be in real trouble if it was found out that the user who sent it was actually underaged.
It is practically a lose-lose situation. don't put an NSFW channel in an FR Discord server, because it will be linked back to FR, and it goes under FR's TOS. Simple as that.
it might just be me but it seems that the usual posters on SMR as of late has been really unbearable as of late because it seems for them, there can only be one viewpoint and nuance is thrown out the window.

because SMR mods are extremely shit at moderating the content posted to the blog.
it doesn't help that there are people that insist sending someone your censored ID is fine with no risks. your ID can't both be censored enough to not dox your personal/sensitive information but also be uncensored enough that someone can verify you didn't just find a picture of an ID online to lie about your age/identity. you can only pick one, not both.
but yeah it's an old subject and SMR should probably delete the asks instead of spending their time deleting already posted asks with important information.

In that regard too though, all this stuff with E is bringing out the worst aspects of some people on SMR. They love beating the dead horse to a pulp. Yes, he has shit views, but do we need to see notes being bloated with the same gaggle bickering about it? Block him and fucking move on, these people are unbearable.
uh, what does FART stand for? that's a new one for me
feminist appropriating radical transphobe IIRC. basically just another term to describe transphobic terf viewpoints, but when held by someone who might not be a "radical feminist" specifically
Thanks mod, was about to go n try to find this exact post. ID verification by random FR/Discord users is inherently dodgy as hell.
I have personally regained access to gaming accounts with my Id. Passing it out is dumb.
What's funny about that is when this discussion first started, SMR took down the post that everyone used to talk about the issue. Wonder if they'll take down this post too. :P
also interesting: 1sun1spirit has left the light flight discord entirely.
Anon the previous anon replied to- exactly right.
(Also, the opinions of FARTs are just like real farts- both are full of hot air, come out of assholes, and they stink. And terfs HATE it when you call them that lol)

Personally, I am on the side of not having NSFW areas associated with places that minors are able to access easily. IE, like a discord linked to a game that is 13+ and structured in a way that it is expected to draw in younger people to play it.
Having a NSFW discord is fine, but don't link it to FR or associate it with discords that try to make themselves the 'official' X flight discord.

This is largely where i'm at in this, tbh. Adult spaces are fine and have a right to exist, but having a smut channel on a flight hub was a powder keg waiting for a spark.

No but that's actually fascinating because when I sent the original message, they were still in the discord. So it seems like they regretted the decision to go public

nayrt
i think its less that they regret the specific choice to expose LFD, and more that they disliked being called out on their hypocrisy of criticizing LFD's NSFW channel (specifically saying that it was potentially dangerous/exploitative) while they were a frequent poster in it. also that they were dunked on for trying to like.... get clout from being the one who posted the screens. kinda weirdchamp

I'd believe that. Tbh I buy into the clout theory, since they were immediately going on about wanting to get mod in LFD. I honestly do not think they did this because they actually were concerned. Maybe a little concerned, sure, but I really think it was a move to get attention + "influence" in the flight (as much influence as you can achieve in dragon neopets lol)
I wonder how long they've even been in light, whether it's been their only flight or what

I've seen conflicting answers to this, so I'm curious about everyone's thoughts.
I know there are accessibility (and gaming probably) programs that allow you to map a specific spot on your screen to a specific keypress, 'clicking' that spot as if you'd clicked it with your mouse.
The most obvious use for this would be the %^#$%# fight on button in the coli, but would be nice for the two-window method of fam bonding too.
Closest answer I can find on-site is this: https://web.archive.org/web/20220917034322/https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/help/1477704
but that's A) old, B) not an actual dev response and C) refers to scripts rather than just a program, I don't know if that would make any difference; you're just changing your own computer's inputs/interface, rather than modifying FR the website in any way.
Obviously the reason that it would be convenient (you can do tedious things more quickly and easy) might be the very reason the staff doesn't want it to happen, but as noted in that post, it's not autoplaying in any way; you're still initiating each action with your own brain and fingers, you just don't have to move your wrist as much.
Does anyone do this? Any idea whether it's permitted and/or can be detected? My paranoid ass is wondering 'but what if they're able to tell that I'm clicking the fam heart on the same pixel every time and/or just zipping through them too fast to be manually relocating the mouse pointer every time'; it feels dumb to think they can monitor things that finely, but again: paranoid.
