This is the first time she named the tour after the album since the paradise tour so its probably a clown behaviour but I really hope is a dangerous thing she’s gonna change is a powerful thing the setlist and perform most of the songs from NFR
Just know I really am doing my hardest to be on top of things the best I can right now. It may not look like it, but I really am. That's why I had to snap up from my recovery and heavily attend to the site yesterday, and will be doing so intently from this moment on. I understand your frustrations of the site being understaffed, and I will look into adding some additional mods, especially since traffic will be heavy. For everyone who has been facing issues prior to this, I apologise. I really am going through something very serious and I am both physically and mentally unwell. I do my best to do what I can, but at this very moment in time it is hard considering I haven't even left my room in weeks and even the simplest of everyday tasks such as eating or moving around has become an immense struggle.
LanaBoards is always in my mind throughout all of this though, and I will be doing my best to attend to it the best I can midst my recovery. I know some of you are frustrated about mod queues and banishments, and there are always solutions. First, I should remind you all that the LanaBoards Rules are always present under the Help & Support section to review at any time. Additionally, any members who joined after I became the owner were given a link to the Rules & Posting Guide in their Welcome PM to review before beginning to post. You all know and have known asking for & linking leaks is against the rules, we go through this every album cycle. Unreleased leaks are treated a bit differently, but we take Officially Released Content leaks very seriously. Not only that, but the rules still stand after the album is released too. This is a LEGAL issue. It is ILLEGAL to host or share any unauthorized links to content that is officially released for purchase or streaming. LanaBoards is NOT a hub for illegal activity. This is a piracy issue. I have to always take steps to protect the site as I can. Also, someone made a good point in an earlier post that this site is free for you all. I do not charge you all anything to be members, and pay for all of the costs myself, willingly, because I want you all to have a fun and safe environment to discuss our favourite artist. Again, I do the best I can, but I cannot deny that it is especially hard for me at this point in time.
Due to my health status, I am on a medical leave from my full-time job, so I will have more time to attend to LanaBoards, especially during this tumultuous time leading up to the album release. As I said earlier, I will also look into on boarding additional staff.
A note about those warned and banned, those who were banned have reached out. I will be communicating with them to review their situation and see if a compromise can be found. But again, after this point, there WILL be no exceptions. I feel like I shouldn't have to remind you all of the rules every time an album release comes around as the Rules are always up to review, and it is just common sense.. again this isn't just a LanaBoards rule, this is a LAW. Piracy. C'mon guys. You should know better. LanaBoards is a source for DISCUSSION, not for illegal activity. I have to protect the site, as I am the one who hosts and pays for it to continue to run, and am therefore at the forefront of core responsibility.
Also, I do advise everyone to use spoilers if you're sharing content about the album for the benefit of other users who want this to continue to be a safe space to share hype about the album during this pre-release stage. If you are on mobile or unable to use the spoiler button, the format is as follows WITHOUT SPACES:
[ spoiler]contenthere[ / spoiler ]
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, I do recommend you message my @admin account, email lanaboardsdotcom@gmail.com, or message the @lanaboards twitter, as those are the outlets I check the most regarding site problems.
Again, I am sorry for all the frustration that is occurring, but trust me when I say I am doing my best despite all the heaviness happening in my personal life. This community is like a family to me and I have so much love for you all. I'm sorry for any disappointment I have caused, and we will do better xx
My concept idea for a box set; lime double vinyl with the explicit cover art, lime cassette, explicit cover digipack, LDR keychain, unisex LDR t-shirt and the Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass poetry book. Random copies signed by Lana herself
Ben and Ed are incompetent but you'd think Interscope and Polydor would at least try to do something considering like 70% of the streaming revenue goes to them so they're just losing money here
