I just checked the numbers at the bottom of the page and I'm seeing: "1567 users active in the past 15 minutes (4 members, 3 of whom are invisible, and 1561 guests)." That's nearly a 1:400 ratio. Seems a bit high. Time to prune the bots?]]></description>

has something changed on the forum? On my PC everything seems to be working ok (settings - thread view - normal) but on my phone I have lost the option to add kudos (thread view - mobile)  If I change the view to normal on the phone I get the option back but the text is too small to read without zooming in. As far as I know I didn't change anything before the problem started (about 3 -4 days ago I think)]]></description>

<br />
I told someone on Youtube to create an account here so that we can continue the conversation here.<br />
<br />
<br />
He says:<br />
<br />
they said I was a spammer and I couldn't register<br />
<br />
I guess he tried to register a few days ago.<br />
Is there that kind of ban?<br />
<br />
I don't have other info about him. I don't know his email address.<br />
<br />
Why would the system say that he is a spammer?<br />
<br />
Reason to transfer to these forums:<br />
Youtube is in a unusuable state.<br />
I use to have long conversations and debates on the Youtube comment section (You know how politics and religion is).<br />
Since ~2020, my posts get immediately deleted and other people have been reporting the same thing.<br />
I have found some tricks to bypass the Youtube robots but it is tiresome and time consuming.<br />
<br />
During COVID, when I explained why it is important to get vaccinated, it would delete my posts while letting conspiracy stuff posted by other people get through.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, when I type 1 or 2 sentences, it gets through. If I type more, it immediately deletes.<br />
Even when I talk about technology or science, certain words triggers the robots.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello Staff or other knowledgeable beings,<br />
<br />
The default behavior I like is to automatically subscribe to a thread I post to and get email notifications when someone posts to it. Is that possible? I ask because when I post there are options at the bottom of the page regarding subscriptions. <br />
<ul class="mycode_list">
</li>
<li>Do not subscribe to this thread<br />
</li>
<li>Subscribe without receiving any notification of new replies<br />
</li>
<li>Subscribe and receive email notification of new replies<br />
</li>
<li>Subscribe and receive PM notification of new replies<br />
</li></ul>
<br />
The second one is the default selected. Even if I have already posted to the thread. It seems that the new selection overwrites the previous one. <br />
<br />
Is there a way to have “Subscribe and receive email notification of new replies” be the default selection? I didn't see anything in the Control Panel. I could have missed it.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
