discussion Update: LewdCorner Restored & Leveling Up

[Kernist]

I can confidently tell you that the vast majority of the userbase disagrees with you. If your 'work around' is to just click them and click back in 3 seconds, then why are you forcing people to read it in the first place? That's just an argument to triviality. And nine times out of ten it wasn't actually that important, where a simple banner at the top of the screen could have been a better communicator. How many times do you open an app and it forces your screen gray and says "Hey come check out our new features!" and you just grumble and immediately close it out because all you wanted to do is open notepad++ to edit a text file really quick. I see people complain in discord all the time about it.

Do you know how many people ask about things that are literally explained on the banners? People miss them easily. Also, what argument to triviality? Forcing the thread is making everyone aware it exists, if user wants to read it or not it's up to them, we are not doing exams out of them.

The reason we have forced threads is because community proved again and again and again that banner is not enough, just making a thread is not enough, us just talking to people is not enough. It would be different talk if people simply didn't care, but they do because I need to give them an answer to question they already asked me ten times. Some things just need to be announced, we are doing it as little as possible, clicking away takes literally three seconds, we won't leave community uninformed because of few complainers.

You must be registered for see images

Note: It's 250 AC for (Members/Games)+ (so it's allowing everyone the content permanently with 0 work in actual activity)

Yep, I know, I hope it's just for a very short period of time so people won't feel robbed from all their work they did after the date of the rollback, however you are right, it does look bad considering access is supposed to be a safety barrier.

i am doing this till the 2nd (my time) for the users that lost their rank because of rollback.

is the site doing ok? looks like the banners under the user profiles disappeared (happened within the last ~5-10 minutes)

 

[Jack Of Blades]

i removed the banner, the redeem code is still active, hopefully someone knows what it is and can just give it to people.

i removed it, but i am dealing with rank issues, so its fine, but just gotta correct some stuff.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

I believe there should be balance between everyone looking out for themselves and site taking care of that. I strongly believe both things should be present. On LC forcing people to earn their access to plus content is at least a minimum protection to weed out troublemakers. Next, we have Heisenberg, who personally made effort to distance donations from LC to ensure additional safety. Only one person managing it is also additional safety barrier.

I donated to LC in the past and I agree it's safe, however I don't think I would trust a site that just allows access to content like this to everyone. To me it looks like these sites take safety only as secondary objective, and different countries have different laws and they change very fast. Westy had real stuff, we was a dev and he is from Australia, that's quite different than your average user here. I consider LC safe, but that other sites? I will just stay here.

Woah. Hold up. That's actually not entirely true. Australia has a habit of making anything and everything looks worse than it actually is. Staff knows my stance on this. Only take their words with a grain of salt, not as proof. I mean, if you have a pokemon collection or even a Yu-Gi-Oh! collection, especially as an adult, they'll call it creepy like they're still in preschool or some shit.

So, I don't believe there was any real kids involved. Or if there was, high chance of it just being from the security camera. Courts have a thing where they can make you plead guilty for anything to get less time. That's the thing that happened to me and I'm inclined to believe that they did something very similar.(I was busted for drugs, though, they forced me to plead guilty to selling them when I never did)

But again, I know the majority. If we focus on the minority, it's going to really hurt you guys. This isn't the way to go. People can respect what's fair and true. They won't respect this. If the purpose is that you guys do not like it, great. Everyone can accept that. But don't hide it behind something like this. Most people already know. I mean, it's how I found out about this thread.

Hmm, we already talked about Westy's situation once, we both know how it ended, so I will stop it here.

About your last paragraph, I don't really know what's it referring to? I really don't understand.

Saying that other sites scraping the threads puts us at risk. Also the bit about us not being a pirate site when... clearly, duh, we are. Lol.

Those are the two main issues that some folks are having here. The other bit, I know nothing about.

 

[Shawnchapp]

I am sorry, but that's either a straight out lie, or you are not familiar with the games here on LC.

i had no intention of replying to this thread but i do want to clear this part up,

its not that he's lying but i do believe he got something confused. We don't rips newly released games/updates unlike other sites we have a 2 week (14days) grace period for devs. as in we won't touch the game/update (even if someone gives us direct links for it) until those 14 days are up.

Which I mentioned here

It was always LC policy to either wait 2 weeks as a grace period until a game gets here or, if leaked already elsewhere, it gets directly uploaded, no matter if pirated or not.

Well someone doesn't follow that policy because the release for https://lewdcorner.com/threads/best-friends-ch-10-part-1-faenon.13248/ (Ch: 10 Part 1) was given to you guys with not even a week since the release (that game for newer versions is paid only) and was added a few hours later after reporting the thread had an update

 

[Shawnchapp]

ya i didn't see that when i replied my bad

jus l ooked into this looks like all similar sites updated it around the same time. We do have an exception for the 2 weeks rule, if it leak on other similar sites we then release too, but we won't leak first.

Hey Shawn for us who know little about computers, what the hec is a scrape bot and a
post bot?

 

[Jack Of Blades]

Hey Shawn for us who know little about computers, what the hec is a scrape bot and a
post bot?

both the same, it is a script written in python, that targets sites at the coders wish to grab content from that site and post it on their site.

 

[Shawnchapp]

Hey Shawn for us who know little about computers, what the hec is a scrape bot and a
post bot?

Scraper bot take info/data from other sites (likes copies it) then a post bot wil take that data and post it here (so pasting) basically just an auto method to copy/paste between sites.

If LC goes that route, hopefully you guys have an approve process before it goes out to everyone

 

[Shawnchapp]

You'll have to ask @Apollo about that as it's his project. But i do think thats not a bad idea.

all post made in games section goes to manual verification, bot would be no different.

 

[Nicest_Incest]

"paid content" - Games+ is/was free with activity, so that point isn't valid. (again all of the sites like LC, F-5 and the other two sites are all doing the same thing taking paid content from the content creators and making them publicly available)


It's still taking information from other sites to put on your own.. (still stealing)
Will you be crediting the sites you get the information from or just taking that information and posting it as your own?
(while it's good & nice to credit the content creators you're still stealing/taking the information from other sites, which is literally no different than what other sites was doing to LC..

I'm not fully against the idea but when your head administrator and site owner complains and makes a public fake-game thread complaining about other sites doing it then turn around and just do it on this site it's not a great look. (It looks like a "do as I say, not as I do" thing which is awful)

Yeah I find it strange when a pirate site complains about other pirate sites "stealing links". Just beat them at their own game and steal everyone else's links too (F95 has plenty, at least of the boring ones). Of course I guess if one really wanted to play dirty and do the equivalent of providing an anonymous tip to the cops to get rid of your drug dealing competition one could just report them to their host or their DDoS protectioon provider (usually Cloudflare) and have them shut down the way this site was over and over before it was "soft-paywalled". Those AVNs are not public for that exact reason.
