I have a permanent solution in mind, but it will take time. In the meantime, if this low score is a mistake, report the account in question to r/BotBouncer, as this bot interfaces with their database.

    I bet theres a dampener up in the bell that prevents it ringing while transported and someone forgot to remove it

    parent
    17 points Silver_Slicer

    Maybe or the bell is meant to only be rung by moving the dinger to left and right and not back and forth. It seemed to finally work when he swung it left but you are probably right, it does seem muted in that case too.

    It's most definitely the case, there isn't room to ring it back and forth

    But that's the way the bell swivels, dont bells usually ring by a combination of the bell and the hammer swinging, not just the hammer? With the way it swivels it could be rung but just tilting the bell back, the way church bells are rung, or rapidly by way of rope attached to the hammer. Something to prevent the bell being rung in transport being left in the bell seems more likely to me

    The clapper inside the bell only moves back and forth in one direction. In bells like this, it’s meant to be perpendicular to the headstock, so it will ring while swinging, and you pull the rope towards yourself to ring it.

    Whoever set up this bell positioned it wrong so it only rings side to side.
