I'm currently bowing Beethoven 6 for an upcoming concert, and the parts I was given are dreadful. Maybe it's how the part was scanned, I don't know...but as always, I use the white pencil in ForScore to "erase" anything in the PDF that needs cleaning.

But...recently I'm finding that the app freezes after a heavy annotation (lots of white on one page), and sometimes the annotations themselves will straight up disappear. To fix it, I have to go back into annotation mode and they reappear, but I have to do that a total of three times before they "stick".

Is anyone else having this issue? Both iPad and ForScore are on the latest versions and I'm about to start looking for another app. I've been using ForScore in performance since the app came out, and I also pay for premium...but the current state of the app is ridiculous for heavy use.

Hey everyone! Here's my latest ExLog which covers the Columbia Colonnade in Bloomsburg, PA! This mall was such a mess when I filmed...not like how Pennrose was, but it was cold and leaky and empty and beautiful. I hope you all enjoy!

Lycoming Mall and the Death of DMOD | ExLog 147

Hey everyone, so as the title says...DMOD actually got nuked. About a week ago I was on a voice chat with a handful of people while I was practicing the Bach Double Violin Concerto. Someone asked to see what the music looked like, so I sent a picture of my score. Immediately, I got an email from Discord and a DM from the Official Discord Account saying I "broke community guidelines", and that a violation was placed on my account. They instantly deleted the picture I sent of my score. Here's the picture:

Of course I appealed within the app itself, and my account was only "Limited" for 24 hours. I also tried opening a few tickets with the Discord Support team, but my tickets were instantly marked as "solved" and a bot sent me a canned reply telling me to "appeal in the app". Since this happened, the violation is still showing up as "you requested a review".

However, earlier today I was in Discord and noticed that my account changed to "permanently suspended", and the DMOD server was just *gone*. I got no word from Discord, and my appeal is still showing up as "you requested a review".

I'm positively devastated, and this entire thing is fully out of my control. I'm seeing widespread reports that people are being banned from the platform for virtually inert reasons (like sending a photo of Bach sheet music), and at this point my faith and trust in Discord is nonexistent.

To everyone that called DMOD home, I'm sorry from the deepest part of my soul. If there was a way to prevent this or foresee it happening, of course we would've taken those precautions. But we are actively working on a replacement server that will be hosted on Osmium...a completely different provider outside of Discord. When that server is ready, we'll announce it, but we will not be returning to Discord.

The subreddit, Dead Mall Archives on Facebook, my YouTube Channel and all the channels of creators on both the DMOD Seal and within DMOD as video producers are completely unaffected by this.

If you want direct updates, I'll be posting them on Bluesky:

We will rebuild, everyone. We have no choice.

Love you all. Seriously.
