Triforce of irony.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;24790153]if you hit f5 to reload the page, provided there's more than 2 of the rating, it should show up with 2x informative. You have to refresh (and you can rate it again if you wanted when you refresh,sorta dumb but yeah)[/QUOTE] Can't stack ratings. Find a thread that's dead, rate it something, refresh, rate it something else, refresh. [editline]10:15PM[/editline] Can I ask how bad mods like TH89 get the position. I can think of many people who would fit his job better. [editline]10:16PM[/editline] And do many people try out for modship when a position opens?
They don't hire someone they expect to be bad, I'm okay with TH89 being a mod... just I think him being lead mod was a bit weird, but that doesn't matter now. and loads.
Why isn't SEKcobra a Gmod.com admin anymore?
He didn't agree with the new policies
[QUOTE=compwhizii;24790290]The mod tools use a lazy method of moving threads, they just change the forumid in the database for the thread. The last post that shows up is the last thread to be moved using the default vBulletin tools that regenerate the last postid for the DDT forum.[/QUOTE] Thought it could be something like this. Are you fixing it? [editline]05:48PM[/editline] Wait, if you check the thread which shows up on the home page as the most recent, apparently is was DDTed properly: Greeman DDT'd If you rape a tiger is that cool or uncool? from Fast Threads I'm guessing the most recent post gets re synced every so often or something....
[QUOTE=Rashy;24802064]Why isn't SEKcobra a Gmod.com admin anymore?[/QUOTE] You could have looked back about 5 pages, but I'll repeat it for you, the new way gmodnews.com is going in my opinion is wrong and some more reasons I dont want to point out in public.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24790686]verynicelady, why did you lock that Majora's Mask story thread? There was literally no other place to put it. It isn't his original work so it can't go in CC, it isn't a 'post your' or 'question' thread so it can't go in fast threads, and it isn't a discussion about a game per se so it can't go in General Games Discussion. People were happily discussing the story, in General Discussion, everything seemed kosher. You also banned the OP. What are you doing[/QUOTE] I posted in the thread explaining why I had closed it, and why the OP was banned. [QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;24791159]Yes we did, I reposted the story where it belongs, and bumped that thread.[/QUOTE] I'm glad to see that it has been posted where it belongs now. [QUOTE=DOG-GY;24792829]How can horrible post your threads last in GD for a week [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=995671[/url][/QUOTE] Moderators don't have time to read every single thread, so if no-one has been reported in a thread it's very possible it'll be missed. If you think a thread is a 'post your' in general, report the OP and moderators will look at it to see if it should be closed or moved.
[QUOTE=verynicelady;24807324]I posted in the thread explaining why I had closed it, and why the OP was banned. [/QUOTE] Actually, you posted: [quote]A couple of points here. When making a thread in general discussion, the OP should not contain large chunks of copy-pasted material. Stories belong in cc. [/quote] So basically you advised the OP to break the rules and then banned him for not doing so.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24809415]Actually, you posted: So basically you advised the OP to break the rules and then banned him for not doing so.[/QUOTE] I advised "do not make copy paste threads". This has been known to be a bad idea since the inception of general discussion. Then I banned him for making a thread he should not have made in a place he should not have made it. I think you're a bit of a silly billy! :)
[QUOTE=verynicelady;24807324]I posted in the thread explaining why I had closed it, and why the OP was banned. [/QUOTE] For the section issue: [QUOTE=ZekeTwo;24790686]There was literally no other place to put it. [B]It isn't his original work so it can't go in CC,[/B] it isn't a 'post your' or 'question' thread so it can't go in fast threads, and it isn't a discussion about a game per se so it can't go in General Games Discussion. People were happily discussing the story, in General Discussion, everything seemed kosher.[/QUOTE] General Discussion subtitle "Post stuff that fits in no other section" Seems like it does exactly that, fits in no other section. I think you're a good a mod, but I don't agree with you on this one.
I understand what you are saying, but despite the description "post stuff that doesn't fit in any other section" you're expected to [B]read the sticky[/B] and use common sense. Threads in general discussion should have something to discuss. They aren't for stories (original or not) and should never be made with chunks of copy pasted material from other places.
For future reference, which forum would you advise large copy paste stories [b]do[/b] get posted in?
Just about nowhere - we don't want threads made with copy pasted stories in the OP anywhere on the main forums. Copy pasting is allowed to pass in In the News, but only if it's a news story and a link to a proper news source is also posted. You can post the stories in OIFY if you like, or the Gold Members Forum if you're a gold member.
Who was Nori?
[QUOTE=verynicelady;24811626]You can post the stories in OIFY if you like, or the Gold Members Forum if you're a gold member.[/QUOTE] i think you're PUI right now i mean that's seriously a bad idea given what little i've seen and heard about the GMF and just seeing the OIFY [highlight](User was banned for this post ("This is not a question about the forums" - verynicelady))[/highlight]
