DS forums are having a major update including Ban Amnesty

[Denver]

Here are some of the things you can expect...

New design: The forums will be getting a new lick of paint and our current emoji (including fan favourite cat-dog Cat) will be retired and replaced with new models. You will also finally be able to embed certain media and social posts, such as YouTube videos.
Search: We'll be gaining an advanced search on the forums, too. You will once again be able to search through users, posts and threads.
Notifications: Any time someone replies to your thread or mentions you, a notification will pop up on your screen.
Reactions: You will be able to react to any post: like, dislike, laugh... maybe even cry if you're in the Politics forum?
Draft posts save: All posts created will now periodically save as a draft, so there is no more risk of losing long posts.
Time-out time: The new forum has a points-based warning system which means a temporary time-out rather than permanent bans for smaller offences.
Ban amnesty: In 16 years, we have amassed over 16,000 banned accounts. Starting now, we are going to be reviewing anyone who chooses to appeal their ban again. Those wishing to appeal should email forum@digitalspy.co.uk with the title 'Ban Amnesty'. Be sure to include your forum username when messaging!

A ****ing mess at 16,000 banned accounts

In terms of actual members? I'm guessing not many but we do have a lot of spambot bans.

[Mystic Mock]

I preferred the older look before the one that they're now rebranding.

On a seperate note it's ashame how Forums are having to change themselves to try and keep up with Social Media which I just can't get into personally.

[MTVN]

I think we have nearly 3600 banned accounts in total but that includes all spambots and multi accounts (as does DS' 16000 figure I'd expect)

[James]

I checked there and there's exactly 4800 banned accounts. Mostly spammers.

[Vicky.]

Haha I was just about to check how many banned accounts we had. I was beat :laugh:

[Calderyon]

I use DS as a forum for WWE Wrestling Discussion. And occasional Chase discussion.

A bit precise lol

[Jason.]

More people use DS than TiBB so that ban figure isn't really surprising.

DS is good for some discussion but I've kinda lost interest in it. I rarely even read their forums as much as I used to.

[arista]

LT unless DS allow a image to post
They are Pathetic.

I got Trouble there
as They are Pro BBC.
And staff backed it.

So my Threads LOCKED

Thanks.

[Jack_]

A bit precise lol

Thought I'd give it a go, wasn't too far off :joker:

[Marsh.]

A dislike button is such a ****e idea.

Remember the awful karma buttons on here?

I used to minus supernoodles all the time for being a little bitch. :hee:

[Marsh.]

I was one of the accounts in the ban amnesty. :hee:

It's actually dull now though?
The last time I was active on there in 2014 there was all kinds of discussion, it's practically dead these days.

[Marsh.]

When will Tibb?

....maybe even cry if you're in the Serious Debates & News forum?
