With the New Year approaching. I wanted to take this opportunity in thanking our mods for keeping this forum safe and trouble free throughout 2024. Badd for her keeping us up to date with posting the blogs. Dark for being there to assist players in times of need whether it be builds advice or explaining glitches etc and rattler for using sternness and words of wisdom. For me these mods are and have been the most competent mods I have ever had in this game. Yes admittedly firm at times but only because they have had to to keep here safe for everyone. They all dedicate their time for free. Please join me in wishing them all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2025.

Thank you all of you, and personally a very BIG thank you for being there for ME due to well only you three know along with @inferiority.

Our Mods don't get the credit for selflessly donating their time to us.

Ditto on @baddmoonrizin @darkbladejk @rattler2. I also will add @wingedhussar#7584 . I don't agree with some who want badd removed due to their moderation since I believe they have followed the forum rules and have been fair even though strict (you did not say this, some have said this in other outlets like Twitter/X, Reddit, and others).

With that said, there seems to be something wrong with the spam filter in these forums as well in the forums of other games like Champions Online, Neverwinter, and Perfect World International (a non-Cryptic game) where posts are being removed with a statement that says "this content has been removed" with no explanation why and even deleted users, who existed last year 2024. Maybe when DECA takes over they could work on the Vanilla forums.

I believe the "this content has been removed" maybe related to users that have been banned so therefore all posts made by banned users has been removed. Anyway this is kinda discussing moderation so I'll shut up.

I get the feeling that it isn't from banned users since it often shows up numerous times in a thread, and at least once someone made a non-quoted comment that appeared to be a reply to one of the "this content has been removed" comments where that "removed" one seemed to be the OP, who's initial comment and a few other OP comments were still visible. The fact that more of them appear after the initial "removed" notice also would seem to indicate the person was not banned unless they are banning truckloads of people (which I doubt). It seems more likely that it is an actual bug of some sort.

Just Vanilla doing Vanilla things at this rate. *facedesk* It might be the spam filter, it might be something else... I honestly don't know.
