Now we all can say #ISurvivedTheGreatBabaJiInvasion2015. There should be a badge for that xD

[PotooGryphon]

Yes! Thank you for the reminder to just have fun on the forums and be polite and considerate to each other. Great post!

This is a great place for all of us to kick back, share tips/tricks, network, and be silly in a safe supportive environment. That's what I love about it, anyways. <3

Let me know if you ever need more mods

@michaelson

I think this should have a section of it's own -- maybe as a sidebar, because this is the kind of thing that people should see all the time.

The bottom line is, use commonsense.

I've just arrived to the Tapastic forum although I'm been posting comics for nearly a year! Thank you for making Tapastic a friendly community!

[AnnaLandin]

Thank you for this!

Tapastic has consistently been one of the nicest places on the internet since I got here, and I very much try to keep it that way - and I'm glad to see others contributing to that end as well! We're doing good!

And to echo @guilhermecahu - I wouldn't mind a Baba-Ji badge! XD I flagged so many of those posts that I ran into the flagging-limit every day for a week straight.

Whenever I log in to Tapastic I always go the forums to see the new topics, discussions and mebbe some old topics that are hidden somewhere in the depths.

I think the forums are really important to any site's community, not just from a social perspective, there are peeps that come here and look at the forums as a way to do some catharsis, they tell us a bad experience, or if they're having a bad day, and there are always peeps willing to read, and offer advices, for me, that's pretty amazing.

Forums became not just a way to chat with creators, but a platform to offer help (art, life, softwares, etc), have fun (there are pretty good game topics here), relieve some stress (peeps doing catharsis), properly advertise, and many things more.

So go Forums go!

Globally pinned Best we can do for now... I'll try to think up of other ways to get it some more attention.

BONNIE!!! Welcome to the forums!

I flagged so many of those posts that I ran into the flagging-limit every day for a week straight.

There should definitely be a badge for that!

But what if that was Baba-Ji's plan all along...

Forums became not just a way to chat with creators, but a platform to offer help (art, life, softwares, etc), have fun (there are pretty good game topics here), relieve some stress (peeps doing catharsis), properly advertise, and many things more.

Definitely, I believe the best is yet to come from our community.

[yvettegustafsson]

Thank you for doing such a great job here! I've never been a fan of forums, just never knew how to act and they've almost always been quite hostile environments, but this place is so nice! <3

5. Have Fun

.......I also want to take some time to introduce two members of our moderating team, @ratique and @UzukiCheverie .

That's how cool everyone on this site is. I've seen these two on the forums all the time and never knew they were moderators. (which is a good thing) Outside of the spamming incident earlier in the year, I never entertained the notion that there were mods on the site because I've never really seen an incident happen that called for one. Could be just me.

[michaelson]

Whoops, forgot to include the amazing @CyndiFoster in that post. I've edited it! We have three mods

Yes, I agree, they've been super helpful in taking care of matters discreetly. If you don't notice any moderating then they're doing a great job.

[allenthomas]

Whoops, forgot to include the amazing @CyndiFoster in that post. I've edited it! We have three mods

LOL! I guess I can add her to the list of people I've interacted with and didn't know was a mod. It's nice to know you can have as much fun on the forums being as oblivious as I am.

[manikagupta0]

Thanks for the guidelines. I'm relatively new to the forum but I just want to say that Tapastic is an extremely supportive and really nice community.

[fanyart]

Can I ask where we can see the complete list of emoticons used in the forum?

[pekingduck]

I think all the emoticons are here.

[HawkHunting]

We were able to survive the Great Baba-Ji Invasion of 2015 (so far)

so far... XD since we draw closer to the end of the year, we gonna make it =D

[Dann]

You say you want to introduce two moderators but then you name three people! MY OCD IS ON FIRE! FIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!

[PotooGryphon]
