[QUOTE=Bounty Hunter;23751852]What are the rules on alts?[/QUOTE]
I think it's mainly don't use them to break rules.
The mods will find out and permaban all of your accounts.

Ah ok, this is an alt anyways.
[QUOTE=Tu154M;23751921]Why does everyone suddenly have default avatars?[/QUOTE]
What?
What are the rules about talking to your own alt as if it was a different person then after you post you realize it wasn't another person but you a couple minutes ago on your alt?
I think as long as you don't shit up a thread it's okay.
I thought sockpuppeting was frowned upon?
Eh, i'm not really sure, but I haven't really seen anyone do it or get banned for it.
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;23752282]I thought sockpuppeting was frowned upon?[/QUOTE]
I think mods would regard it as post count whoring or something, and probably ban both accounts.
It's just a bad idea that one should avoid.

This, sometimes you may be mistaken as an alt on the same IP if your brother/sister signs up and starts to shit post.
What is the Gold Membership Revocation thread, do people actually go in there to ask to be banend or what?
I've seen many gold perma'd in there, generally something along the lines of instructions IIRC.

There are three ways you can get banned from that thread:
Someone else nominating you (for being a shit poster, not following rules, etc.)
You can nominate yourself.
You can post in the thread without nominating anyone, or nominating a non-gold. (These are the "Not following the rules" or "Rules" bans.)
Does it just take one nomination?
Nominating yourself, is that basically a Ban me post?
Well, yes, it can take only one nomination if the nomination is valid and usually people will rate agree/disagree.
Yes, it is essentially a ban-me post. For whatever reason that may be, tired of being gold or leaving the forum.
Why there are no more mods like pr3dator(he was a good mod before he went on the ban spree) :|.
What do you mean "like pr3dator"? Good mods? There are plenty of good mods.
[QUOTE=Matt PL;23770507]Why there are no more mods like pr3dator(he was a good mod before he went on the ban spree) :|.[/QUOTE]
Err, if you mean people like Pr3dator, see 'banning spree'
if you just mean good mods... Your blind, Generally the mods are doing a great job.
Why doesn't the event log show people joining any more?
The Event Log is very broken. I have a feeling it'll be fixed soon.

Nothing major as far as I know.

I vaguely remember Facepunch getting a DDoS attack. Garry put up a notice saying something along the lines of "We're getting DDoS'd, probably from a butthurt person who got pbanned. Facepunch will be back up when they get bored."
If it was enough to actually make a noticeable effect on the server it couldn't have been just one person though..
Although then again, if you saw that message it holds credibility to the fact that it didn't do much.
[QUOTE=metallics;23743348]Also the only safe way to post in the RC is to follow rule 1. (Don't post in the RC if you value your account)[/QUOTE]
For a while it was just "Don't Shitpost"
but apparently that changed :frown:
If in doubt don't post in there. I don't see what the attraction is to post there when you're not banned is anyway.
