[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;22260146]what is gimmick? and is DDT deleting?[/QUOTE]
A gimmick is a troll account that is used to spam (normally from permabanned people), and a DDT is when a thread is moved into the [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36"]Drop Dead Thread forum[/URL]. A DDT deleting I guess would be the deletion of a DDT thread.
Did anything ever happen with [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=917187]this[/url]? I haven't really heard anything about it since that thread. Was it an april fool's joke after all or already implemented but only applies to new registrations? Or just not finished?
Think it was just a joke.
(and the mods secretly had bets on about how many people would link their steam profile to their facepunch account) but :ssh: dont tell anyone
We were going to do it but no-one would code it sooooo

Do something that's fucking hilarious, or something that gets you respected by lots of users(?)
[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=910580]Example[/url]
or do something dumb [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=698849[/url]
Or beg the mods to give you a title, and end up with a stupid title.
I can't bring in an example to mind off the top of my head, but I know they're out there.

No.

It was in another thread... His inbox is either full or he disabled it...
I think they said the only way to contact him is to pm a mod and see if they'll pass on a message.

Are there/were there Gmod 9 forums on FP? Do they still exist? Are they visible or locked?

[quote]Welcome to the forums! Don't be afraid! We're a bit harsh on people using AOL talk on the forums. We want people to type real sentences and to take the time to speel things right.
Bans aren't meant to be permanent, they're meant to be a huge warning to stop whatever you were doing. As punishment you lose your old account and have to re-register (if you want).[/quote]
1. How many forums does facepunch have?
2. Can mods have signatures if they want, if they do what do they look like?
3. How many Facepunch servers are there?
4. What Exactly was being Unbanned for Garry's Birthday about
5. Can all mods use the Control Panel
6. Why are the WYSIWYG post sections not enabled by default
7. Why should a system not be added to ask you to review your posts if someone else posts before you click submit
1. Many
2. Some of them do, visible on their profile. e.g. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=86848[/url]
Still doesn't show up when they post though because sigs really are an unnecessary waste of space.
3. Just MARGE at the moment
4. It was like a present to the forums, or at least to all the idiots that got perma'd, but then Garry + mod team would spend a month re-perma'ing all the idiots they didn't want around so they knocked it on the head.
5. I personally don't know, but I'd assume so, since it would be a bit difficult to do their job without the tools to ban lock etc.
7. Server load I should imagine.

I figured that out, was browsing archive.org and found two old sections. Kind of funny they were never really deleted, just archived and ignored.

Unsure.. It was in the Ask us about the Forums - v6 thread
Why do threads with odd letters in their names show up as "null" in the ticker?
The ticker probably just doesn't recognize the characters, so they don't show up. So rather than boxes showing up, it puts "null".
It's because the ticker is based on JavaScript and the characters aren't escaped properly.

I didn't see that, doesn't count. Kidding. Okay I'll do a real one.
Really don't have other questions right now, though. But any chance of OIFY removal? :p
why would you want to remove the oify? you can't see it so what's the problem.
What was a regiban and why was it removed?

let's get this straight.
you guys moan about oify'ers leaking into different forums occasionally and yet you realise if you remove the oify they'll leak to everywhere?
removing oify would do nothing, if anything it'd make your "problem" worse.

regiban was if a user tried to register another account while banned and was on the same ip it would automatically be banned. not sure why it was removed though, just went when we changed from the old fp to the lab
