Fixing Forum Consent Prompts: CommunityOne Builders Help
Summary
CommunityOne Builders Help addresses community confusion regarding consent prompts appearing on forum posts. The announcement explains that explicit user permission is required to publish content on public server listings. Developers are working to resolve an edge case where context text was missing from these prompts, ensuring a clearer experience for all members moving forward.
what does that mean
?
this looks like that we are asking users permisisons whether we can publish their content on your server lisitng page
but its somehow mixed with the spark
can you give me the server and channel id and let me take a look at it
sure
(I deleted messages btw cause ppl were so mad at me ๐ญ)
yep, i can take a look at the settings on the back end
Server ID: 1311777844937883732

-
when you allow us to public content on our forums. we get explicit consent from both you and the original author. The reason is that you want the origial member to know that his content will be published on your server listing site, which is pubic in natural. Thats how you see the Allow, no thanks buttom.
-
but due to some cases and circumstance unknown, perhaps the users are tagging the bot, we ended up removing the content of explianing why we need this for and then only show the bottom, so users get very confused wiithout context
hi
oh
alr
So I should disable it?
this should be an edge case, if it happens again, it will be really helpful to us if you tell us what the user did so that the content on allow/nothanks were lost.
This is gonna basically show up for all the new users that are making forum posts; the reason is that we need their explicit permission to publish their data- no way around it.
I would recommend waiting and seeing if this happens again (it shouldn't).
Forums are something that we enocurage server owners to publish, we do it for ourselves, as long as the content and the server is public in natural.
The reason is that the content is indexed, so if someone are looking for a question or a topic and they found you, he's gonna be already interested in the server before joining in. Vs the traditional server listing where people dontreally know anything about your community before they join, and they always bounce mcuch faster
alright thank you
