Announcement - Changes to Hidden Posts
Hey everyone, we are making some changes behind the scenes that I wanted to share with you all so you aren't caught off guard if you notice anything different. As you may be aware, we have a few different Moderation tools available to us to assist with moderation on the site. In an effort to increase transparency and minimize what could be perceived as egregious moderation, we will be changing the behavior of Hidden Posts, along with some accompanying changes to moderation procedures.
Currently, a moderator can choose to hide an offending post, which effectively removes the content of the post/comment while leaving behind a message that the post was hidden. This behavior was selected in order to leave a public record of the removal. However, one concern with this methodology is that the user (and general public) has no feedback as to why the post was removed, nor any recourse to engage in a discussion regarding the decision.
Going forward, there will be two potential paths that an offending post may take - Editing or Hiding.
The vast majority of moderation actions which would have previously hidden a post will now result in editing the post instead. Any offending text will be removed, along with a note from a moderator explaining why the text was removed. This has an added benefit of allowing any non-offending text to remain alongside the mod edit. The original poster of the comment will also be able to respond to their now-edited post asking for clarification in the event of a miscommunication or misunderstanding (please remember to tag the moderator to alert them to your response).
Hiding posts will now be performed only in extreme circumstances (primarily spam, potentially others as they may pop up). Hidden posts will be entirely hidden to non-moderator users, effectively soft-deleting them from the discussion. Again, this will only be done in very extreme circumstances, if at all.
Please note: One side effect of this change is that all previously "Hidden" posts (currently visible to the public) will take on the new Hidden Post behavior detailed above, wherein they will be publicly hidden and only visible to moderators. If you come across such a change and are wondering why the post is now gone, this is what happened to it.

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)
