Hi. First of all, we believe in open access and don't favour restrictive policies. Most of the staff have been part of various online communities, and we don't like having restrictions just to access content easily available on dozens of other places. It's not only inconvenient for members, but also ineffective.
We also believe that, while on the Internet, people should know how to behave and police themselves. The mere descriptions of our forum subsections should be telling enough about their nature. (This is assuming the descriptions are understood by the visitors, anyway. If someone doesn't know English well enough but takes a shot at navigating around despite not knowing what a term or description means, then what he comes across is his own responsibility.)
We can't determine the exact age of our users for sure. All we can do is take their word. Our site isn't like Google or Facebook which are included as default bookmarks on many web browsers and other applications. Someone who is visiting ASF is likely doing so out of his own will or through a search engine (which implies that he was doing a specific search) or was linked by someone else. It's unlikely an inadvertent act. In short, it's inconceivable to hold ASF responsible for what its users view.
Lastly, ASF isn't a social networking site like Twitter or Facebook. Members aren't expected to put any private information on their profile page. I understand that your concern mainly has to do with profile pages, but all the threads and posts normal members can post in are already open to public view. Also, anyone who can pass through the captcha and mail activation can have an account. Personally identifiable information, such as email and IP address, is still kept private from public view, so as long as you don't lay out your personal information on your profile, there's no difference whether it's a bot, an unregistered user, or a member accessing your page.
Heya, mildis. Yes, we've handled the member; thank you for your report.
Now, about your question: each page view counts as a profile visit. This means that guest visits to a member's profile page will also increase the visit count accordingly. Various bots (like Google and other search engines) crawl the site and likely visit any page that is open to public view. This member has had their profile visited by guests before, most likely by said bots.
Yes, moderators and administrators can still see members who hide their online status. In this case, however, no hidden member has visited the aforementioned member's profile.
Spamming quite a lot these times yeah
Also it is almost impossible for someone to be banned for spamming (except if they're spamming ads), also it is called the "spam" section XD
No I do not learn latin in my school (no latin subject). Fire huh, interesting..
I heard of Fiamma, acqua, terra, ventus.
Don't know what language that is but probably italian
also there's no need to be that formal XD
Hello mildis~ sorry for the a bit late reply, didn't notice there was a new VM at all XD
To answer your question, yes I am still in high-school
Hey there, mildis. No, you don't need to be a premium user. Of course having a premium account would make it considerably easier for you to download files off those hosts, but you should be able to download as a free user. However, some of those file hosts may block certain countries and locations. I'm not sure if your country is on their blocked list. And no, as far as I know, the majority of our downloaders are free users.
Hi there. No, my reputation isn't zero or empty; it's just set as invisible. And yes, members can also choose to hide their reputation level if they want to. Just go to settings -> general settings (under the "My Account" section).
I see, sorry to hear that. Do take care. I'm not quite sure what your emphasis on "in this forum" is directed to, but well, I can only say that each online community may have its own preferences and niches. Talk to you later, then.
Hey, mildis. I'm doing fine, how about you? Yes, I've taken a quick glance at the corrections. I will re-read (because, as you have noticed yourself, there are some differences between the original rules and the translated post) and apply the corrections, but I haven't gotten around to doing that. Been doing other stuff.
Yes, if a member wants to socialise on the forum, they are expected to know enough English to understand and reply to conversations. However, in VM, it's perfectly fine if you want to speak in other languages. You may use Japanese too if you want. -
