Hello fellow MakeCode users, this is my first time engaging in the forum. I have used MakeCode for a few months, and it took until now to create an account. That time feels right. So here’s the question: Are people allowed to host multiplayer sessions (not share multiplayer games) on the forum for others to join? ---

That’s a really good question! Since it’s not providing any personal info and we intentionally made online multiplayer, I don’t see a problem with it from a safety aspect. Logistically, however, since you never know how long it will take for a post to get approved, it might be difficult to actually execute. ---

I never thought this Discourse forum would need me to wait until my posts get approved. I use a different Discourse forum and it doesn’t do that… Anyway, is there a way to get much trust that there’s no more need for waits to get approved? ---

I think that only mods can skip the wait. Problem is, only microsoft employees are capable of obtaining that rank. ---

No. This is a Microsoft thing and they can’t risk that. 🫤 Especially because it’s all kids on here. Giving someone that kind of power could go very badly. ---

No, I have been here for 2 years and I still need to wait.

Thank you @KIKIvsIT @redSprite @WoofWoof @_jupiter for helping! No wonder this place is just as helpful as the other forums… Jupiter\_Dev your scroll is so funny! It’s as if capitalization of letters somehow doesn’t exist yet! I need deeper lore behind that scroll 😅 * * * Anyways, if this forum has thorough moderation for all members, then how did that torrent of off-topic posts made it past moderation in the topic: [DinoCraft: The most in-depth Makecode Minecraft](https://forum.makecode.com/t/dinocraft-the-most-in-depth-makecode-minecraft/21316) (post 55 is when off-topic starts) * * * Thank you all for helping, still! ---
