I don’t know know about videos but man I hate the mechanic of this site. Posting media sucks, you don’t get notified when people respond to your post among other things, to see if I said something you had to click on this post again. It’s tiring also you can’t search up nicknames and the media gallery is the worst way to post photos in website history lol
Back in my day this site looked like it was fresh outta the nineties. The big facelift they had back in 2014 was a culture shock for the old timers here, but everyone adjusted to it and the new layout. Gotta say those were the good ol’ days and everything about SP felt a lot more engaging.
I’d noticed that videos no longer showed as part of a post preview ’round a year ago. I thought it might have been a way to save bandwidth or help with the site’s performance. As you’d know from my posting style, I tend to favour using YT embeds from time to time as a form of engagement, so without that I’m somewhat discouraged. Its also a bit annoying how looking up a user’s post history shows the entire post instead of a snippet – bit of a nightmare scrolling through on mobile.
But of course: its a volunteer force keeping this site on suspended animation, and I’m sure they’re doing all they can with the time/resources they have.
BTW – good work on getting into systems engineering. I did a diploma in it back in 2016 and have been in the industry for a good four years now. From million dollar migration projects to hospital infrastructure upgrades: it has everything to turn you into even more of a bumbling mess that hates society and look upon your peers/end-users with utter disdain. Seriously though, good for you, and all the best with your pursuit.
dont you mean the lack of moderation (hence the repeated troll’s’)? lol
at the very least it seems that way. communication if they are trying to do something about these problems/site upgrades/changes in general would be nice.

Oh no, the mods only delete innocuous comments for no real reason. Usually ones that they read negative intent into when there was none. There’s also hardcore censorship on this site and the people who challenge the trolls get their comments deleted, etc.
yeah, when things are deleted it does have a “protect and hide” vibe about it. although looking at some of the things deleted and said i wonder if, at least in some cases, it wasnt the OP trying to make admin look bad.
example
“Someone called another user here a fat balding lesbian and it’s horrifying seeing that in these places. “the suicide project”
that turned out being an admin using an alternative account and dismissing the damage as collateral…… crazy place, right? the admin claimed to have ip addresses. It’s pretty much another scandal in this life. this will probably be deleted because the admin’s unstable and takes away people’s voice…”
about the ignored part, i used to come on here every few weeks and leave a reply on every post that had 0 comments. but it got a little taxing. it would be great if we all worked together to make everyone on here feel heard. so anyone that wants to join, please do.
