What can I do for you Brandon? Welcome to Stars!
I don't communicate through Private Messaging. It get's me in trouble. If it's really a private matter we can think of something.

Burn bright!

It’s actually a problem with my mtc account. I get the 500 internal server error when trying to revalidate my new email. Lol. I can’t message the admins and tried to email but to no avail. 😅

Tonight! fixed the email validation last December. They made an announcement about it.

I changed my registered email just this January. And sadly, still having the same 500 error until now. I can still log in, however I have very limited access (no access to forums and no messaging capability). 
 

I apologize for bringing it up here, since I really do not have any other means of access to the admins aside from a couple of emails I sent with no reply yet.

Hi. Suggestion, can we post the board/forum guidelines here. 

For example, what constitutes adult content. When does it become too revealing? Does the board allow advertising services publicly or in private? What is a bad content?

As we grow bigger, disputes and misunderstandings might arise. How do we manage disputes? Are personal  "comments" on conflicting opinions allowed? What warnings or sanctions do we face?

Also, what is the purpose and vision of the board? How do we differentiate ourselves from tonight?

Sorry for the long post. I'd like to fully support this board but I'm honestly confused and worried this may end up as a marketplace (sorry for the lack of a better word). 

Thank you in advance for the clarifications/response/action.

Thank you for giving me the chance to answer the hard questions.

The content structure will automatically differentiate Stars! from Tonight! We don't have the subsections that Tonight! is infamous for. Stars! will not host adult topics. Profiles will be in the each accounts page, not as threads in a subsection. Members can also make blogs that they have 100% control.

The website has an auto moderating feature that removes bad content. A bad content is removed when it gets reported by 3 different members. For now its 3 but will be adjusted when it gets misused. A bad content will be based on the community's tolerance level.

Because of its increased membership Tonight! generates high traffic. The server needs to be upgraded and then relocated to a better data center. Current advertising deals need to be augmented with Google Ads in order for Tonight! to grow, but Google doesn't like adult websites. This is the purpose of Manilastars. Stars! will host all the monetizable content from Tonight! thereby generating Google Ads.

More to come...

Thank you!

So with the reporting feature, the community can self regulate the board. Is my understanding correct? 

So we can all be aligned as to what kind of content to report, maybe we can list down what is allowed/not allowed. As we also all have different tolerance levels.

What might seem like a violation to one, might not be a violation to another.  

Thank you!

Since the purpose of this website is to generate Google Ads, this means we will calibrate tolerance levels based on what Google Ads defines as adult content. I will cut and paste Google Ads guidelines in a few hours from now. Thanks Viola. Continue to burn bright!

The Hotels and Destinations disappeared from Tonight and I don’t see it here.  Will it eventually move here including all of the topics previously under this category?

Yes It will be moved here. Let me know if you want to help move a few threads.

Thanks.  I will let you know.   Will all the posted photos move over.  For example, there were lots of good photos in My Travel Photos.  Are they going yo move over?

bro, the guide on how to restart a thread seems to be missing 😞

Brod (Daniel), for efficiency I'll copy paste the announcement. The info is already there. We're making rules "on the fly". Tayo tayo lang naman dito. 🙂

The long term goal of Stars! is to accommodate all the non-adult topics found in Tonight! You may copy existing threads so that the discussion will continue here. When copying a topic please include in your first post the original author of the topic and the date it was originally started. Below is an example:

The original thread in Tonight! will not be deleted and it will be locked for posterity. All future discussions regarding the topic will be continued here.

Brod (Dodo) I typed a long response a few minutes ago but I accidentally pressed the back button! haha.

Photos and posts will have to be manually copied over. Sayang talaga the photos but rebuilding the database from scratch will be cleaner and more efficient. The old DB used by Tonight! is 2015 tech. The original threads will be locked and will be retained, will be accessible by members.

Regarding the photos you want, just copy them over here, just pick the ones you think will inspire others to also re-post their own pics. We don't have to copy pages and pages and pages of posts by other members.

To recap,

1. Just copy the thread title
2. In the first post just put the thread starter and the date
3. Copy the first post.
4. (optional) You can copy posts in the same thread, maybe select conflicting posts to start the conversation.
5. (optional) You can also select good pics like the Travel Pics.

That’s not the case for Hotels and Destinations.  The old topics are no longer in Tonight.  So, there is no way to figure out which individual topics we would like to copy.  That’s unfortunate because there were many good and very popular topics under Hotels and Destinations.

Here is an example of a thread I moved, click link please. Thanks!

OK I'll ask Bizman to open the Hotels and Destinations... standby

The Hotels and Destinations Section has been opened. And, the old threads resurrected, but still locked.

I wanted to copy My Travel Photos which covered anywhere around the world but I could not find an appropriate place to put it.  Any suggestions?  The available threads were too specific to a continent.  Also, from the ones I saw, there was no category that covered the Carribean.

Maybe, instead of creating a forum category of More Fun in the Philippines, you can just create a category titled Travel under the Lifestyles forum.  Then, let members create topics related to travel under that.  It doesn’t make sense to have a forum called More Fun in the Philippines and then have a topic called Top Destinations Around the World under it.

I agree that Top Destinations Around The World is not supposed to be inside More Fun in the Philippines.

But here is the reason why I want to have a More Fun in the Phils section. For Google Ads. It's the textbook example of letting money dictate the direction of the endeavor. Hey! We're a bright bunch, we can figure this out. We can have another Main Category - Top Destinations Around the World - and have continents as sub categs. But if we do that...

OK. What if we have

Top Destinations Around The World

• More Fun in the PH
• Asia
• Europe
• North Am
• etc.

what do you think? It's a work in progress, we can change anytime haha. Tayo tayo lang naman dito.

Can you just add My Travel Photos under Top Destinations around the world?  I don’t have access to create the topic at this level.  I am only allowed to create a topic under each continent.  I think it is best if there is just one place sharing travel photos just like it was in Tonight.
