don't get banned
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;52653267]you're free to ask why in PMs instead of shitting up the thread with it[/QUOTE]
How exactly is discussion of a topic relevant to the thread "shitting up the thread" though? We're not talking about whining about ratings here. We're talking about people wanting more discussion.
[QUOTE=Redfiend;52653277]Why the fuck must I change my password if I've been banned? It is beyond frustrating.
Just recently I got banned, and it immediately was like "YOUR PASSWORD IS A MONTH OLD, CHANGE IT OTHERWISE WE WONT SHOW ANY PAGE TO YOU". Out of protest, I refused to do so, and of course when my ban reached it's natural expiration I was allowed to continue browsing without changing my password.[/QUOTE]
Password expiry for bans also allow mods to mitigate illegitimate access to an account.
And has been used before
Never Forget, BDA
I think the forum is in quite a good shape when the biggest drama seems to be about avatar sizes and ratings.
:toot:

Why could the fun not last a bit longer :([/QUOTE]A bit of a divide as to whether it was a gimmick or a monumental idiot. Turns out it was a gimmick.
The Gmod section, and posters that escape its containment, puts Poe's Law to the test quite thoroughly.

I just followed report don't reply
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;52652752]Clearly, there only solution here is to globally remove ratings from the forums.[/QUOTE]
I give you a 1
wait shit that was in 05/06 you are 09 :poot:
Remember that bloke who went around rating any gmod screenshot thread with guns or even suggestions of violence a 1, and his own pictures were the very definition of troll poses? Angel, I think he was called.

I've done this before a couple times, I think. Once, I was given an explanation. The other time I was told to fuck off. I don't really mind either way, though. I don't value people's opinions that much. If someone doesn't want to explain why they think someone is dumb, that just sounds like more of real life and it prevents shitposting/flaming.

Did it also involved using a model of Jenny from the show [I]My life as a Teenage Robot[/I] in his edgy pictures?
Or am I remembering some other user?

Back then there wasn't nearly as much in the way of custom models and whatnot.

Oh it was back in '05.
My mistake.
The one I'm remembering was a year or two ago.

Back in 05'. Man things were VERY different then.

You make that sound surprising, imagine how different this forum will be in 12 years

Still waiting for Newpunch.
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;52654349]Still waiting for Newpunch.[/QUOTE]
Does that come with abandoning vBulletin, replacing images like ratings with SVG format images, CSS3/HTML5, and generally modern design? We can skip the whole circular avatar thing though :v:
[QUOTE=sam6420;52654446]We're stuck with vbulletin until newpunch is done.
With that said, I find that the forum currently does everything we need it to. Imagine how many awful "features" we would have by now if he wasn't working on something to completely replace this trash heap which we all love.
[editline]6th September 2017[/editline]
Plus I find all new forum software to be over the top in terms of design and features.[/QUOTE]
I think there just needs to be a balance, I honestly haven't delved into forum software all that much, so I can't really give a solid opinion. I just want the devs to have something that's easy to work with, and easy to implement modern design onto without feeling like it's not Facepunch forums anymore. From what I've gathered, a lot of things have been "hacked on" to vBulletin to provide features, whereas I'd like the devs just to be able to implement the features in a nice way rather than hack them on. I also forgot to mention responsive web design, which would probably negate the need for a Facepunch iOS/Android app.
It's a big job though, and I think the devs have done a pretty good job with the current vBulletin
personally my preference would be the internals of newpunch with the look of the current forum.

Images are using a custom canvas
I'm a little confused by that, aren't the majority of images PNGs? E.g. a user agent icon "/fp/browser/android_app.png", a rating icon "/fp/ratings/tick.png", and also the header picture "/fp/navbar_inner.png", all of these could potentially be SVGs, which would not only decrease the file size but keep the images sharp on displays with higher DPI/PPI

The version of vB we're on is probably so old that image support had to be hacked into it
i find it a bit contradictory that it's bannable to care about ratings and bannable to spam ratings
pick a side

No, its just both we can't edit the template nor be arsed to edit the templates to convert them to SVG.

The implication is that mods care about ratings by banning for spamming them.
holy shit i just realised the irony
we (used to?) ban people for spamming ratings, but we also ban people for caring about them
do we still ban for spamming ratings?

One is the user posting about them making the thread about himself rather than the topic at hand and the other is a user spamming to provoke others as a troll
They're basically both threadshitting, directly and indirectly
it's not that fucking hard to comprehend

hypocrisy is what makes me keep coming to this forum every day
