    To be fair, I am experimenting with the 'hiding posts thing' so far, I've put everything to private in my test group yet sadly they still pop up, as for the self moderating part, they are a lot like a mini beam community, with moderators hired by the group owner working to keep it clean much like Nadeox1 and Tdev do in the larger community. And, if Armageddon happens and all groups disappear, me and my team of group advisors have worked out a solution, mainly being a separate forum site worked out

    At least you are helping to sort it out and I think something needs to be changed on the forums to respect group privacy, I think that needs to be looked into at the higher levels (staff levels of access to the forums I mean here) might be a setting there that needs to be enabled

    I feel like the only thing that needs to be added to help group privacy is more strict groups. already, I have a private group, completely invisible, that can really only be accessed if you know the right person, and, I believe that more groups should be like this

    Yeah I entirely agree the RP posts need to be kept secret from the other non rp members

    I'm glad that there's confirmation that it will be back. Personally, that's all I want.
    You guys are doing a great job moderating the community recently, and the game should be no. 1 priority, not cleaning up after some idiotic 12 year-olds. If it means less stress on the mods and a faster, less buggy game-design workflow, I wouldn't mind at all if all we got back was like and agree.
    Keep up the good work beam team :)

    I suppose I can be satisfied with that for now. Dissappointed with the loss of "like" and "agree" markers tho. My main problem is seeing posts where people are roleplaying about their pretend cars in place of things I want to see.

    >information on new mods
    >Information on new content coming to the game
    >Posts by developers
    >technically interesting conversation bout BeamNG.drive

    It would be lovely to get more focused on that again on here. I've stopped engaging a hell of a lot since the serious modding scene died and we don't hear a lot about development now.

    I actually agree. I haven't been as active as I was in 2016, or 2017. If there was something that could get us excited, then a lot of people would still have interest. I have a lot of hope for BeamNG.Drive though.

    This is why we need rating system back.

    What did you use to say agree before the system? A like. The only reason ppl are going "agree" is because they think they need the feature. The forums lived without it before, you know.

    I know but posts like "I agree" or "Very informative" clutter up the forums and I think that is why the rating system was introduced.

    But that's what he's saying though? We need the like back and only that?


    Either way it's gonna come back in the future. Currently actual game development progress is of an higher priority.

    We are currently making some more changes to our forum.
    Here's what changed:

    • Ratings:
      • Like, Agree and Informative are the ratings you can use. After much thinking and discussions, we decided for these in order to keep it useful and essential.
      • Staff Pick rating. This is a new one, and can be given only from staff. If your post is particularly interesting/nice/useful, you'd could be rewarded with that.
    • Conversation Search:
      • A tool that was missing and that would be pretty handy. As name suggests, allows you to search through your Private Conversations (not possible till now).
    • Removed profile posts:
      • Profile posts are no more a thing. Most of the time misused, mainly a source of spam and not really useful for us. It was in the ToDo list for quite a while already.
    • Rearranging forum:
      • We are currently moving some sections around in order to make the forum easier to navigate.
    If you are not seeing some of these changes, it's possible your browser cache is kicking in.

    Our forum rules also got slightly updated, please have a look here:
