A new system has been added to link all on going events and activities in Cimmarian. This will be convenient for members who want to stay in the know but find it hard to keep track.
These will also be pinned in the main chat for later use if users have missed it.
Features
I've been in the game a long time and made sure to keep Cimmarian as honest as possible and this update will give rank badges to cimmarian.com and twitch and updates on Discord ranks and their purpose!

Twitch
Here we have up to 10 years of support and many users may have gone over to support other streamers. 100% cool and this will just help keep track of how often you support myself and Cimmarian on Twitch.
Next up will be emoji and badges for subscribers and bit spenders. I will be trying to help support the idea of bringing some Twitch benefits to Discord and Cimmarian.com as they allow it in the API
Cimmarian.com
New badges have been added to also reflect how supportive you have been on the official site.
Discord
Badges / Ranks were added to show how active a user is instead of how supportive they are. this being said ranks will now also unlock perks in the server from streaming to being able to embed links. The reason for this is to combat polution in channels including voice channels. These are subject to change.

It's 100% free and the first 50 sign ups will be automatically promoted to Trust Level 1 which come with more features to utilize.
As like anything new it needs some adjustments to allow for better usage this being said try to note that the forum does support other features like wiki style posts instead of normal posting. So keep this in mind if you try to edit old posts. These types of options are set to keep things clear and clean instead of misleading when re-visited etc.
Forum Changes
S3 bucket and Cloudfront CDN
For those who don't know S3 is a content bucket this means when you upload something to the forum it goes to our server bucket instead of the direct server. This allows for after uploads and downloads especailly when given a location which is when the CDN takes over to allow you to see files at a faster rate.
Edit times
This seems to confuse users why you "Can't" edit your own post after a certain amount of time. The purpose of this is to have clarity and moderation. So if someone edit their post after it says get reported we would need to pull up an older post. Or maybe it's a well trusted post and their account is used to edit links or upload malicious files. Anything can happen and editing the same first post every week is not it's purpose and in the future we may allow payed users to edit with a much larger window.
Local Language
Though we don't support communication outside English we do however attempt to aupport UI language. When you are outside an English speaking country you can set your language to be in your native language. Note that this is to help you navigate not to make or speak non-english in the forum.
Title Length
Title Length is a confusing situation as the idea is to provide information in your title but not make it nonesense. This have been edited to let users make smaller titles if they just want to share without the need to type a sentence as it's title
Max consecutive replies
This might seem counter social but the idea here is to negate spam and knee jerk hate replies. Many users might want to reply with .gif or one word even just plain insults which is normal for comment sections or chat rooms. This we want to try and avoid so the limit will stay but will be made larger.
Note: These are replies back to back and is not applied to the topic owner.
Max links, Media and Attachments
New users will be given a max links posted per topic creation or reply. This is to help limit advertisements, spam and clutter. No one wants to see a wall of .gifs, twitch clips etc showing the same things over and over especailly if in the nature of a spam so this is created to help limit this.
File size cap
As like any indie community and creator management of servers adds up. So as much as I would love to provide a larger file size to compete with things like Discord Nitro etc. I will be limiting file size to 10mb for the time being with direct uploads.
Security limits set lower
This sounds bad but this is not about passwords etc. This is about posting. Some users copy paste or drag and drop quickly causing the automation to think they were spamming or a bot. This edit is to make it so it's less likely the automation will catch you as a bad actor while the community grows.
Header and Navigation
The forum is set to show categories first and the latest topics, The drop down is now set to show more suggestions when typing to help you see what you might be looking for.
Tags limit and Creation
Tags are a mess on most platforms and it's hard to maintain them without limits. Their purpose is to help you organize what you post and to help others find this. For example you can post about a RPG build and utilize tags like Tank, DPS, Solo Build, Game Name. This will help users to find Tank builds under a RPG game they like to play and even talk to you about your build.
Email Digest
This is just an email that is sent out to help users know what is being talked about or if anyone is talking in their favourite topics etc. This has been moved from weekly to monthly to help avoid spaming users.
CrackMasterK will be back on track making Streams within the Cimmarian Frequency!

Can I play with you?
Unless instructed I am playing with members, I don't plan on playing regularly with others unless it's planned or an event. This helps keep things clean and I can focus on the game while I talk to chat. If we do play there is a chance we won't be in voice chat together. It is what it is.
When do you plan on streaming?
This could be mornings or nights, I do plan on breaks inbetween streams as long hours and limited external work time is a classic move to stream to 0-1 viewers hoping someone will just magically know who I am. So for now let's figure out what works together.
Will you be streaming events?
Yes and No, I don't mind streaming them but it's more of a community enjoyment so I want to keep those events open for everyone to enjoy instead of forcing stream / platform rules. If you stream during them please turn on push to talk and be polite to members of my community Cimmarian.
How can I help?
Tell everyone about Cimmarian and CrackMasterK, Invite folks to the community and maybe join in on everything we do.
