New changes to the community guidelines are now live, along with a bunch of tools to help us moderate the site at the scale it's continuing to grow at.

I also wanted to clarify the Black Souls removal. It was always meant to be a temporary lock while moderation tooling was improved to better handle the reviews coming in. The games have been restored with reviews / ratings coming later once the tools are there to support it. Thank you.

Hey all, wanted to give a quick progress website as the week ends. Current priorities are on revising the community guidelines, revamping the reporting tool with more options, and building out better controls for moderators to access on reports more consistently. Hoping to ship by next week.

Hey, welcome! Sorry for the invite lock, we're currently facing heavy traffic due to feedback for recent moderation changes. It should be open by tomorrow morning though. Thank you for your understanding!
This is correct, it was locked for moderation reasons and there currently is no way to lock reviews without locking the entire game. This is meant to be temporary at least until a more substantial decision can be made about handling games like this.
I wanted to share some upcoming changes on how Backloggd will handle adult content and moderation in the near future

Definitely considering it! I know it can be helpful, especially with a text heavy site like Backloggd.

Yeah definitely have language support on my radar! At the very least a way to self-label reviews and filter but ideally a built way to translate as well

Full changelog for 1.16.1: backloggd.com/changelog/
Ah, expanded games are not eligible to give a focus on original titles for this GOTY event.
I know titles are half the battle and still something I want to do, they just require a bit more work than covers did and I wanted to get them out before the end of the year! So hopefully still to come on alternative titles.
1.16 is out now!
- ๐ผ๏ธ New covers

New badge designs

Apologies for the slowdowns recently, bot traffic is pushing the site to its limit and becoming harder to suppress. If I can't get it under control soon, I'll dedicate more resources in the meantime. Thank you for your patience.
Over 6,000 games have already been converted to editions!
Please share your experience if you've logged any yet! More to be included in the coming weeks.
Editions haven't fully rolled out yet, so I'd hold on reporting just yet! I plan to start ramping up more games by next week.
v1.15.1 is rolling out now with a handful of improvements and bug fixes! Some highlights are new ways to set your default review sorting, hide playtimes, and tweaks to game page mobile UI.
