Threads deleted, nothing showing in logs
No. Unless you have marked your moderator as Spammer. Yes, if it has been started by a user marked as Spammer. This was only a possible explanation. Check your "Mark as Spammer" setting. If the content is not set to be deleted instantly, then this is not your case.

Seeking Help & Guidance with Email Setup (Cloud)
I use AWS SES via SMTP and a Mail Bouncer by @stoo2000 I send out around 1500 transactional emails a day for about 5 USD per month. The mail bouncer blocks invalid emails and also those who have marked my emails as spam. They get nothing. 😄 I have configured my email on the CloudFlare (0 USD). There is a checklist, what I have done to get high deliverability https://invisionify.com/blog/bad-configured-email-is-the-best-friend-of-dying-communities/ and perfect scores.

Best practices for selling access to content (potentially hundreds of items)
There is no impact on performance. I run a community with over 250 clubs, up to 2000+ participants in a single club. Active clubs have pretty active forums with 100+ posts a day. 😉 Unless you set clubs to be displayed throughout the community (setting in ACP). This setting will have a negative impact on the performance.

REST API: Import profile photo from external URL
I create members with REST API: POST https://myurl.com/api/core/members Assuming I have an avatar image URL like this https://pixabay.com/get/g0e4242279c2ba3e6b5db76446d77d582a4b7d0339ba7d3fe376118abe673fe7b57bbbfa97b1f69ea042053b4ba80222c_640.jpg I would like to import the image into IPS, save it in uploads (prevent hot linking), and set as a custom profile photo for the created member. Is there any way to do it through REST API?

Pricing of Small Plugins in Invision Community vs. Xenforo and Woltlab
As far as the costs are concerned, that's true. But you're doing it at the expense of stability. Instability can break the bank even more. Think of not inaccessible site, updates issues, blown error logs, performance or SEO issues like de-indexing from the Google and so on. I use and write plugins myself. But I check twice and triple if a "useful" functionality is indeed required. Or is it just a nice gimmick I can live without. This approach saves me a lot of time, that I can spend on community building instead of solving technical difficulties and playing ping-pong with IPS, hosting, and plugin developers. 😉

Invision Community 5: Tagging Reinvented
What types of nodes can be tagged? Members? Clubs?
-
Mass delete spammers
Bad idea. Dynamic IP addresses Shared IP addresses I would not do it. 😊

REST API: Set record_publish_date
Edit: the date is not ignored. It is saved to: record_saved record_updated record_last_comment record_last_review However, the field record_publish_date does not respect this date and is automatically set to the current datetime. Question: is there any way to set record_publish_date for a record via REST API?

REST API: Set record_publish_date
I post a record through API: {{base_url}}api/cms/records/45/?author=1&fields[208]=Title&fields[209]=Content&date=2024-05-10T22:34:28Z The date is ignored.

All forums have disappeared from my community
I understand Spanish. I have learned it for some years. But now like a dog: understand almost everything, but cannot say anything. Due to the lack of practice. 😉 Beautiful language.

All forums have disappeared from my community
Deactivate them all. Then activate one by one, checking your forum each time you activate one. This way you can figure out what app causes issues. When you definitely know what app causes the issue, yes.

Pages: Can't have two folders (in different locations) with the same name???
There is a reason, actually. The categories can be freely moved inside the database. Pages is not aware about your strict structure. What should happen if you decide move the folder /pages/special/v1/games/ to /pages/special/v2/? There is already a folder with this name...

Known spammers going through spam defense, allowed to post?
The same for me, but my moderators look at the cleantalk.org. As a side note: this is not a great issue for us, though. The number of not detected spammers is fairly small. I just wanted to mention that there are indeed email addresses with a spam history (according to cleantalk) that pass through SpamDefence with score 1. I'm still very satisfied with how SpamDefence protects us. 🥰

Bulk move select users to a newly created subscription plan?
This will just move the users to another group. There will be no subscription for them, though.

Topic rating and sorting
Viewing is not enough. It all about sorting. Show me the best. Rating, charts and so on.

Topic rating and sorting
I have just started a voting system in one community that relies on star rating. However, the concept is indeed based on thumbs up / thumbs down. Everything in the middle is noise, you're right. Eager to see. However, I do not want to “find” best content. I would like just to sort the content based on votes, rating, thumbs or whatever. No algorithms for trending, useful and so on. Just up- and downvotes. 😉 Made manually by users. Would it be possible to re-create something like this in Pages only? I am on a vanilla trip right now and getting rid of 3rd party apps. 😉
-
Topic rating and sorting
Agree. Still if there will be any possibility to sort by rating (thumbs or likes or whatever), it would be very useful. 😊 Good to know, that star rating is deprecated. I was not aware of.
-
Q&A forums are going away?
I know. I do not miss Q&A, but a sorting option by rating. Votes was the only possibility to sort "by users opinion".

Copy and paste not working in topic editor
Ask them what iPhone keyboard they use. I have users who experience the same issues if their keyboard is different from the default one.

Content Rebuilding Upon Upgrading to v5
Removing abbr tags would be helpful. I have millions of them coming from the IPS Word Expansion feature. Even if the word itself is removed, the abbr tag remains. The only way to delete it right now is to edit the HTML source code. If the HTML source code isn't available, those abbr tags remain in the posts forever.
