[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23321561]Is there any real reason to hide yourself from the online list? I don't really see the point, it's kind of obvious when your on because you'd be posting.
Ah, and automerge..[/QUOTE]
If you are a mod, being thought to be offline brings the idiots out.
Otherwise, it is just a neat thing to do.
I'd have thought as a Mod it would keep the idiots in line if you were seen posting and online
as in if there seemed to be mods all around trolls would be scared of getting banned 30 seconds after a troll post.
That may be true, but that just means they will hide the fact that that is what they are (trolls, flamers, etc.) until the mods are offline.
Once the mods are offline, they go out and do the bannable offenses. So if you appear to be offline you can cause the inevitable to happen earlier and punish them for it.
When a hunter goes to hunt, does he just stand where his prey will be?
No, he hides and waits for the prey to get into his sights.
Then BAM!
Can we have an invis-mod
I would totally fear someone of power I cannot see

Him and garry have a nice relationship.

This has probably been asked, but I don't want to plough through 375 pages...
Is there a way to view PMs you have sent?

Go to your sentbox.
But, you have to tick "Save in Sent Box" when sending the PM.
Go [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/profile.php?do=editoptions"]here[/URL] if you want it to save it to your sent box by default.
Thanks :v:
Any PMs that you sent before you tick to save them will not have been saved.
Ok i've got another one. Probably answered already, but oh well. How come there are only 3 options for reporting? It seems like a list with the most common ban reasons, or at least an other category with a form, would be better.
Because it basically sends a report to a moderator saying "This post is violating a rule" and they use their own judgement from there.
The three options cover basically everything anyway, and there's little point having to choose "Banme thread" when you can can press Spam and a Mod will see it's a Ban Me and deal with it accordingly
You used to be able to type in the reason, but that was most likely abused.
So they chose the 3 most common and used them. If it isn't for one of the reasons, just report it for one of the three. All that really matters is that the mods attention is brought to the post, not if you hit the right button.
Though, if it is one of the three it would be helpful to hit the correct one.
Makes sense, but if it's just an alert, why not consolidate it into a single option "Violation" or something?
It isn't just an alert, but it's better to report a violating post with the wrong reason than to not report it at all.
Because those three options give the Moderator an impression of what to expect before they see it.
I imagine they'd get annoyed going to every reported post and having to basically guess what the problem is. If you simply say "Spam" or "Warez" it's sets their expectations a little. A little help is better than no help.

Probably had a great application, ie was a mod of another large site, friendly with mods already... etc. oh and luck.

Been wondering why sent box was empty.

Brilliant, in the top 3 ban reasons I've ever seen.
:golfclap:
Yea that does seem like it would be a hassle. How bout this, how do some people get titles below their name besides what level account they have? From what i've seen, it's either through doing something pretty amazing or completing a competition of sorts, or saying something really stupid.
Basically by doing stupid things.
They tend to be a badge of shame, rather than honour.
I can't recall many titles that were given for reasons other than to shame the user, like "DVD-Rewinder Whistleblower" for example.
Don't ask for them either, The Moderators will decide if you ever get one and the likelihood is you never will.

You just answered your own question.
Well, just checking to see if I was right. And that DVD Rewinder shit was classic

Don't think I remember that one, what happened?
He payed garry $1000 for gold member and started crying.
Oh yea, that's what spawned that "oh fuck i'm/we're gonna be poor" thing, right?
Yes, because he is the one that said that.
What a dumbass. 2 years of posting and 2000 posts don't quite seem worth $1000
It was way before that rule was set in place.
[editline]11:34AM[/editline]
You used to have to earn gold member by doing something amazing or, if you go farther back, paying $5.

The kid was tricked into thinking it was free and it was when you had to get gold'd by a mod.
