Greetings, sandbox users! I'm excited to be posting here for the first time as the new owner of sandbox. I really appreciated a lot of what cub did and if you ever see her around, make sure you thank her for really transforming this lobby. With that being said, a lot of people have come to me about certain issues that they wanted addressed. Below, I've listed topics in sandbox to discuss whether or not you guys want change. Eventually, I hope this will be kinda a master thread of everything we change as opposed to a dream board.

Emotes - this has been the most requested thing so far. Everyone wants a certain emote gone, another one to come back and the idea of bringing back :rotate: has also been thrown out there. Let me know.
Support - this will be controversial. Suicide has been a huge topic on the site recently and people have reached out to me about what my plans are to get rid of this problem. Whether you agree with it or not, a lot of people emotionally rely on sandbox and when they're feeling down, it's hard to reach out outside of this community. Someone suggested we have a list of users who are available to help you out if you're having a hard time. If this is not something you're interested in, ignore it. I'm curious to see the ones who would be interested in making changes with this.
Forums - I actually don't really know if forums need any revisions or not, I think cub did a good job cutting down on the number of forums. Do you think anything is missing though?
Moderators - again, controversial. I actually don't think we need mods at this moment after talking to some previous owners, considering that they wouldn't be handling reports. This site does not allow lobby mods to give violations, suspend accounts, etc and it's really useless. I'd only enact lobby mods if the HC / harassment / spam problem becomes really excessive, specifically in chatbox, and even then it'd be one or two people in very different timezones to simply cover the job when I'm not around. One idea I've heard for mods though is a panel that acts like a "jury" in certain sandbox reports. I don't know really how I feel about it, but I'm curious to hear what you guys think.
Sandbox Setup(s) - I know Bebop recently changed the sandbox setup back in May, but I wanted to know if you guys think it has any flaws. Also, we currently have 4 openings to sticky setups and I'd love to hear if you guys enjoyed the rotating setups, or if you'd prefer them stagnant, or a mix of the two.

Just because an item isn't picked on the poll doesn't mean it will / will never be addressed. I just want to get a sense of what the sadbox community is thinking. I encourage everyone to vote / comment because if the option in first place but it's just one circlejerk and all of their alts, I may not listen to it. Also idgaf about your petty trolling and name calling, but keep it off this thread.

i dont think cross-lobby stuff comes up enough for it to particularly matter

Oh ok maybe it was cub but basically the idea was that we could have representatives from different lobbies work with us in case there was some kind of dispute between someone from our lobby and someone from their lobby. It would also help build bonds with other lobbies.

I don't think I ever had that idea but I'm open to hear about it

Dooze I don't remember where you wrote the idea but I really liked the idea of ambassadors from different lobbies to try to maintain good relations with all of them. I think now would be a good time to put them into place :)

or that intention really has no significance if your approach is inappropriate or too heavy-handed

I guess the troubling part of this is that we're a voiceless, faceless entity on this website. We can act one way on here and be entirely different as well. So the hardest thing would be that you can't 100% trust that someone has good intentions if they signed up for something like this.

this is my biggest concern

Really it's just a list of people who have offered their ear to others, summarized as to not get drowned in onslaughts of posts and whatnot.

-- I am always open to talk to others about their stuff, and maybe I'm just sentimental, so I understand that some of you are seeing something I'm not. But that's just my 2 cents. Take it as you will. Also, I love that I really just did this in 3 separate posts. I AM TOO MUCH SOMETIMES.

While I see your point... what I've got to say about that is people go into chatbox, games, forums, etc., constantly with heavy stuff and sometimes there are the right people there who want to listen and then there are those who either don't give a f*ck, who are too busy to help, or who don't want to get involved or whatever. No one's being diagnosed or medicated. All this support thing would do is maybe give people who are going through something someone to talk to. This way it doesn't have to be publicly. This way, hopefully that person would feel less humiliated/embarrassed (if that's something they fear) in a time of vulnerability.

This also doesn't have to just pertain to suicidal thoughts. There's so much that people have weighing on them. I truly think that something like this could help with at least some relief.
