[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;23331500]The kid was tricked into thinking it was free and it was when you had to get gold'd by a mod.[/QUOTE] No, he was tricked into thinking that it would still be $5 and that the $1000 was just for show.
Well he did something amazing, alright...
Speaking of monkey_123, what ever happened to him? Did he get refunded?
[QUOTE=Beetle179;23331530]Speaking of monkey_123, what ever happened to him? Did he get refunded?[/QUOTE] he got refunded I believe, then perma'd Also, thank you for correcting me Xionasis
He did.
And it's also why Garry got banned from PayPal.
[QUOTE=Computermaster;23331590]And it's also why Garry got banned from PayPal.[/QUOTE] not really [editline]12:41PM[/editline] let me find the blog post [editline]12:41PM[/editline] [url]http://www.garry.tv/?p=1325[/url]
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;23331540]he got refunded I believe, then perma'd Also, thank you for correcting me Xionasis[/QUOTE] He got perma'd for spam, he said "NO"
[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;23331819]He got perma'd for spam, he said "NO"[/QUOTE] Actually, from looking through that thread, it looks like he gave away his password and a bunch of people jumped on his account and spammed. I'm probably wrong, but the evidence is there.
[QUOTE=Aurain;23331244]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.[/QUOTE] Not fucking long horn again Justin....cunt! But yes, in general they are shameful ones. [editline]01:11PM[/editline] Question for Moderators: Does it take two reports of any kind on a post, eg a report for warez and spam, or does it need to be two of the same, eg 2 trolling reports.
Question for a Mod: Is there like a Limit of Emotes in a post before being banned for emote Spam that you could tell me, And if so, Would it be a problem to go [I]Over[/I] the limit if it is relevant to thread. EG: Post a story with emotes.

EG: Post a story with emotes.[/QUOTE] I don't think there's a "limit", but you should know when you're putting too many. If it's relevant to the topic, I would imagine in would be okay, but I would also think that the thread would be locked as well.
I'd say about one or two emotes per post would probably be cool. :downs:

[editline]01:11PM[/editline] Question for Moderators: Does it take two reports of any kind on a post, eg a report for warez and spam, or does it need to be two of the same, eg 2 trolling reports.[/QUOTE] 2 of any kinds of reports, mix and match.

EG: Post a story with emotes.[/QUOTE] There is no limit, I've seen threads where people have posted ~50 emotes, because it was a thread where someone wanted all the emotes and no one had yet posted [url=http://www.facepunch.com/misc.php][B]the emote list[/B][/url]. Though if you were doing it randomly and dumbly you would probably earn a ban. edit: Are there any Australian mods? Will there ever be a Facepunch camping thing for Australia? Roughly how many Australian's are on Facepunch?
The Screenshot and movies section is in dire need of moderating; Trolling, flaming and undescriptive thread titles left and right, they rarely get banned until after 1-2 days of the post. What qualities would someone need to receive a moderator status in said section? How does one apply for it? I assume my ban history is a bit too long for a moderating status?
Well, I'd assume a short ban history + forum seniority and a high post count, shows you've been here long without violating any rules and a good application. Moderation Applications open for sections, the most recent one was the Games section.

Moderation Applications open for sections, the most recent one was the Games section.[/QUOTE] Very well. If you don't mind me asking, do you think I have any chance?
I think anyone has a chance, at least none (that I could see) of your bans are for things like trolling. Everyone steps out of line once in a while, I'd say, if you have past experience (it helps, there's a lot of people to moderate on here), a lot of posts to show your serious about the forum (you tick that box) and no bans for trolling, preferably not flaming. [editline]09:56PM[/editline] Also yeah, you'll see stickies in sections about mod recruiting. [editline]09:57PM[/editline] Also, you'd be an entire Gmod Section moderator. [editline]09:57PM[/editline] Like mahalis, grea$emonkey, UberMensch, Uberslug, Terrenteller, PLing [editline]09:58PM[/editline] Hmm, odd that you say there's poor moderation in a section with so many mods (I dont go in there, so am in no position to comment either way)
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23352633]Hmm, odd that you say there's poor moderation in a section with so many mods (I dont go in there, so am in no position to comment either way)[/QUOTE] Yep, as crazy as it sounds, there's not much moderating there. I spend a majority of my time in the section and it kind of pisses me off that some guys get away with stuff normal people would get banned for.
I've seen the same in Furry, whether it's because it's such a small community and people are friendly so not reporting it, I've seen some warez thrown about with no bans.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23353451]I've seen the same in Furry, whether it's because it's such a small community and people are friendly so not reporting it, I've seen some warez thrown about with no bans.[/QUOTE] Who cares about the furry board But it's because really only super mods+ can moderate it, and there are only so many of them who will want to brave the horrors there.
Hmm, off that post I have a question: Why are there no Mods specifically for Custom Forums?
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23353583]Hmm, off that post I have a question: Why are there no Mods specifically for Custom Forums?[/QUOTE] Super Mods.
They don't seem to moderate Furry. I sent a mod a PM asking about something in Furry and he ignored it, seems like Cheeseman is right and their scared of the section :\ [editline]11:13PM[/editline] So appoint a furry/a homosexual/a german/a finlander/a whatever else is in the main custom forum boards
PM hezzy like a million times then I bet Furry section will be moderated heh [editline]08:46AM[/editline] and deleted if you feel your reports are not reaching the mods, PM a 'caring' supermod
Doesn't VNL or Benji normally moderate it?
I've seen them ban in there, Though I thought it would just have been from reports (I think both bans were aimed at a user who wasn't particularly popular amongst us at the time)
I've seen way more people than normal banned in the past day or so for abusing the report system. Any guidelines we should know, or is it just our common sense?
Don't be an idiot is probably the best
