Hello worlds,

😎 💞 🐍 We're still working hard in delivering the best we can for Similar Worlds.
Here's what's new since my last post.

[b]- Hearts[/b]
You can finally Heart posts and comments.
Make sure you show how much you like what other people are saying, but don't forget to comment too :)
We will soon activate the notifications for the hearts (Hearts will not send emails).

[b]- Privacy Settings[/b]
There are a few Privacy Settings that you can find in your Account Settings:
- Can logged out users view your profile?
- Can users view your Friends list?
- Can users view your Latest Replies on your profile?

We will be adding more settings as the time goes on, so keep an eye on them!

[b]- Adult Contents[/b]
This is where we've been mainly busy in the past few days. Andrew is doing a very good job on this matter and we're still working every day in improving our Adult filters.
Even though you may see some Adult posts from time to time, please trust me here that we are already filtering 80%-90% of the adult contents.
We are not done yet, so we hope that in a few days there will be ZERO adult contents being shown to people who don't expect any.

In addition, we've added a few warnings on posts and profiles that we believe have adult contents, so that if you ever head in those pages, you can decide if you want to stay or leave that page straight away.

[b]- Performance[/b]
Another area we are constantly working is in improving the performance of the site.
As our member base and the contents are growing, there are some technical things that need to be improved sometimes.

Thank you for your support and we hope you stay with us.

We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of Similar Worlds.

Very kind regards,
Nuno

@moonlighting:
1) The most recent additions will be at the top of the list.
2) It does work for me when I choose "Open page in new tab". If it doesn't work for you, you may need to change your browser options. What browser do you use?
3/4) Great suggestions!
5) That would be useless as long as you need to refresh the page to get notifications, but I'd like them to appear in realtime and then your suggestion would be a great addition.
6) This process seems to have been started already. The homepage doesn't fill as fast anymore as it used to and there are a lot of topics that I'm glad to hardly see anymore, so it looks like the feed is already getting filtered. It would be nice to apply that filtering only to the Stories and Questions tabs though and filter the homepage even further as you suggested, and as it was on EP.

@questionWeaver: human moderation is indeed a burden on the team, but EP proved that scripted moderation doesn't work and there are plenty of enthusiastic members who would be willing to help out. As you can be a bully without adult content and be respectful with adult content, I don't see that as a valid criterium for the ability to stun others. But the team seems to have some fair ideas to handle the moderating properly, so I'll wait how that works out.
