:::I'm well aware that discord is ''faster'', what I'm getting at now is that there was nothing; doesn't matter if it is a ''fast'' response, I'm expecting ''a'' response. Days, weeks, sometimes months go by and submissions here are ignored until someone else pings you all on discord. You all can easily see this page too, its on the sidebar and (I would hope) your watchlist for easy access. What is expected of new users who want to report something? Will they use the clearly labeled admin noticeboard and be ignored or will they download a third-party app to report it? If they are forced to do the latter, I can bet that a few will either not put in the effort and let someone else do it or go to an admin's talk page. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 13:49, January 10, 2023 (EST) | :::I'm well aware that discord is ''faster'', what I'm getting at now is that there was nothing; doesn't matter if it is a ''fast'' response, I'm expecting ''a'' response.

::::Just get on Discord already, I'll reiterate again that this page is obsolete for vandal reporting when we got a tool like Discord available that all of the admins use, wikimedia diehards can huff and puff that we're telling people to use a technically third-party service (that the vast majority of people already use) over an onwiki function, but posting on wiki pages just cannot compete with real time direct notification for urgent matters. By continuing to adamantly insist on using this page instead of just going on Discord, at best the vandals still get a delayed response that allows them to vandalize more, because no one sane is going to be spending their time refreshing wiki pages 24/7, at worst the vandal goes completely missed. Also just because I'm shown as online here does not mean I was on refreshing recent changes, much less the noticeboard, most of the time it's probably just me having a tab open on some wiki page. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 13:56, January 10, 2023 (EST) | ::::Just get on Discord already, I'll reiterate again that this page is obsolete for vandal reporting when we got a tool like Discord available that all of the admins use, wikimedia diehards can huff and puff that we're telling people to use a technically third-party service (that the vast majority of people already use) over an onwiki function, but posting on wiki pages just cannot compete with real time direct notification for urgent matters.

:::::You answer your own question: the admin talk pages are also readily available for people to go to, which arguably is on the same level of direct notification as Discord due to the giant bar at the top of the wiki saying "you have an unread message on your talk page".
