General Do you purchase copyright removal?
I've personally never felt any need to remove a copyright on any software I've used - most of the software I have used has been free and open source so definitely not in those circumstances, but even if I was paying for a software, I don't see the need to hide the software that I'm using from...- fdk

UK Online Safety Act - Forums & Chatrooms
GDPR was certainly nowhere near as onerous at this has the potential to be, that much is for certain. Agree on the sentiment about it not being necessarily a targeted and effective enough tool to protect minors too. You have to consider that the Online Safety Act doesn't only apply if you...- fdk

UK Online Safety Act - Forums & Chatrooms
Absolutely - the initial reading was definitely (in my view, anyhow) that this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Having read a lot more of the detail and OFCOM's expectations, my view has started to change ever so slightly, in the sense that I believe there's been a massive error in...- fdk

How long do you allow for posts to be edited?
In the past on my big forum I used individual forum permissions (a great feature of phpBB which is probably replicated in most forum software nowadays, but wasn't necessarily 10+ years ago) to set post editing time limits on a section-based level. For forums I thought it was reasonable for...- fdk

Why must I always fall for stupid things
Outside of being "scammed" a few times on online games when I was a teenager, and being the victim of a genuinely crazy fraud (must've been card cloning) a few years ago, I've luckily been able to avoid being scammed pretty well throughout life. I'm generally quite an anxious person as it is, so...- fdk

UK Online Safety Act - Forums & Chatrooms
Yes - you are absolutely correct. The assessments are also more rigorous than I initially realised, as the obligation seems to actually be to write an assessment for each of the "17 main identified harms" by OFCOM - this is going to be a lot of work, more than I initially realised, but still...- fdk

UK Online Safety Act - Forums & Chatrooms
From my current understanding, you've pretty much nailed it - although I have a lot of work to do on this to ensure our organisation is fully compliant and have the whole week dedicated to this next week, so I will be sure to come back and update if I find anything else. According to OFCOM's...- fdk

Tools Payment Providers for your forum
I used PayPal to handle all payments on my old forum, although for a very short while I did experiment with Skrill (formerly Moneybookers) early on, I quickly found that it wasn't nearly as popular as PayPal. For a short while and as a meme I also accepted cryptocurrency payments, but this was...- fdk

DoorDashing
Unfortunately I can't drive at the moment for medical reasons, so not an option for me, but I like the idea of being able to essentially choose when you work. Even though the money isn't great, the convenience of the gig economy I imagine is what attracts so many. My brother worked for Just Eat...- fdk

UK Online Safety Act - Forums & Chatrooms
I've just had a PM about this from another person actually, so glad I looked at this thread. I work for a charity in the UK that was requested to submit a consultation to the Government about the Online Safety Act. The consultation we submitted was thoughtful, reasoned and well thought-out, and...- fdk

Engagement facebook community
Facebook Pages or Groups are the place to move if you've hit the friend limit on a personal account and you want to expand. As a teenager when I was a regular Facebook'er, I was always at the friend limit on my account and would have to remove people before adding new ones... which wasn't a...- fdk

Engagement Do you read all the posts on your community?
Whenever I've started a forum, I've always tried to read everything and engage with as much content as possible for as long as possible generally. With my biggest forum, at a certain point, that become impossible as there were on some occasions tens of thousands of posts being made each month -...- fdk

which design do you prefer?
Old school - drafting out designs with pen and paper, a practice I certainly approve of! In like with the others commenting, I'm certainly more inclined to say that I prefer the first version. Make sure you share more of your designs with us @otisbooard :)- fdk

Would you rather have a job or run a business?
The security of having a job works for me. Sure, I've always wanted to run my own business, and always thought I'd make it a success - but it would also require significant time and money investment, and ultimately, any business venture comes with some sort of risk attached. And that risk will...- fdk
