it's also not anime I must stress this since it's very important to me that we make this distinction clear
disregarding the fact that 2hu is anime is a meme in the fandom at this point
[QUOTE=Shendow;52761842]I'd love to see the code if it doesn't inconvenience you. I like to think I improved a lot over the years so whenever I look at my 2013 era code, I tend to cringe a lot :v:[/QUOTE]
Just had a look for it. Can't seem to find it. It might be on my dead drive, which is a shame.
I'm gonna keep looking, i have a pastebin or two I'd need to remember old usernames and passwords to, but if I find it I'll DM it to you.
EDIT: Just checked last account, and am sporting a 24 hour IP ban from pastebin now for bruteforcing old accounts. Cant find it. It's either on an account I don't recall or its lost to time.
It was some basic derma code anyway, if there's an archive from coderhire of scripts sold it would be in that.
[QUOTE=elevate;52761847]I understand a lot of these posts are jokes, but I could care less if a moderator likes anime. It is their personality I care about. I ask myself: would this person be someone I wouldn't be embarrassed to associate with?
Besides, so many people on here like anime that statistically speaking, if you reach into a bag and pull out some random user to mod, chances are high they will like anime.
I don't know much about this Shendow person, but it sounds like they put in work in the Garry's Mod Community, and I can respect that![/QUOTE]
But how am I supposed to feel good about myself when I don't have a lower group of people to make fun of!!!
For real though I don't give a shit what the mods like (especially when a not-insignificant-portion of my media library is actually anime :v:), I'm mostly just happy there are people willing to baby sit all the fucks who use this forum

except you you're not allowed to like anime
Avatar the Last Airbender is an anime.
More moderation over the gmod forum is gonna be good for that section!

Thank god, someone else to take over draining the Gmod septic tank.

It is good to have somebody to moderate the Gmod forum. Welcome, Shen.
Redfiend consistently derails this thread waaaay more than single posts about hldm
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52762096]Redfiend consistently derails this thread waaaay more than single posts about hldm[/QUOTE]
Im suprised that hes still complaining about HLDM in this thread rather than taking it to the HLDM thread, like he wanted Postal and Kiwi to do. Its a bit ironic
[QUOTE=Redfiend;52761784]It's mostly for consistency. I mean, it's kinda an instance of double standards. I get that hezzy n shit say its ok here, but why is this suddenly an exception? It's content that's largely unrelated to the forums and even in the case of "oh we might hold contests and competitions in the future for it and thats why its related to the forums" well isn't that something that should be more suited for the community fund section?
Like I get it, mod team is god and all, we're supposed to suck their dicks, and honestly I'm putting my neck on the chopping block complaining about it, but I know for a fact I'm not the only one who think's the mod team is borderline abusive of their powers and if I have to risk a ban to make it a talking point then so be it.
Yes, shit has improved a lot since garry's active dictatorship of the forums, where people were literally being banned for disagreeing with garry. But I speak to people outside of Facepunch regularly, and when I mention the forums, usually people mention how they will never post because they are afraid anything they post will be ridiculed more than an average 4chan OP.
And some of the rules (or the way they are enforced) are stupid too. Like banning people for posting pics that aren't funny in Lmao pics? I've been banned before after having a post be rated funny by at least 2 dozen people then suddenly finding myself banned because a mod didn't think it was funny. By who's standard is it considered not funny? Is it a standard of the community finding it funny? Is it the mod that personally doesn't like it so will ban the user for a week just because they didn't laugh at the image?
Then there have been cases where users are joking around in a thread. A mod joins in, and that's the end of the joke. Anyone else tries to continue the joke? Unless they are a mod, they get banned. I think just last page a mod joked about banning people who didn't join, which OBVIOUSLY would be a joke right? Nope, because the next person posted "I'm not joining" and got permabanned for it. After I brought attention to it the user was still permabanned... I'd have to say that's taking a joke too far.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the mod team need to uphold a better level of accountability for their actions, something that I can see is slightly happening, but there are a couple of mods that are too... unchained... in their actions at the moment. You know who you are, and you know that this is mostly pointed at you, but I'm trying to avoid inciting a witch hunt here.
Also that new mod, if i recall he's been a gmod script developer since coderhire days. Alright bloke tbh. I think I still have code of his lying around on my hard drives or on my pastebin from when I hired him to help me with derma.[/QUOTE]
Mods can post the HLDM stuff in the thread because this thread is supposed to be a chill and approachable way to speak to us about issues on the forum. HLDM allows people to play games with the mods and I would encourage people to join
I am in the process of drawing up some guidelines based on the conversations I've already had with the moderators. These guidelines will be released internally first for tweaking / feedback and then will be posted publicly.
You say that the Moderators need to be held more accountable for their actions. I haven't had anyone personally contact me with any substantive complaints about the moderators. Even your complaints in the above post are completely anecdotal and you haven't provided any evidence. How am I supposed to look into stuff? As it stands, your post amounts to hearsay and could be considered libel.
[QUOTE=Scratch.;52761821]Real question is when are we going to get mods for the rust [del]forum[/del] website
you think the gmod forum is a quick way to get eye aids?
Postal and the Rust forum 3 could be a feature film[/QUOTE]
I am considering asking garry if the Rust forum can be moved back onto these forums. I know this will be unpopular but the section needs to be moderated and controlled.
Well that's kind of where the issue usually is. People bitch but rarely ever come with actual proof, they simply don't like a certain mod because it just happens that they got banned a few times by him because that person might just be more of a active moderator then others. Like in LMAO pics you usually have one or two mods who ban 90% of the posts there that are subject to being banned.
Only thing i would comment about what i would find 'abuse' is that stuff as loss is a reason to ban someone.
I can't remember what page it was on but someone was complaining about how the navyseal copypasta in GIF form would be really shitty for data.

[QUOTE=sam6420;52762211]Why not just get rust forum moderators from the rust community, surely some of them are above the age of 12?[/QUOTE]
I'd rather recruit them from the FP community, because we'd be bringing the Rust forum in line with our culture and not the other way around
Okay so, confession for some shit I did ages ago
I maaaaaaay have posted the whole "post that cat and win a free Rust key" thing in the Rust subreddit years ago.
I think some Russian group wound up taking credit for it at the time, iirc
Basically I'm really sorry bc I had no idea people would be that gullible
So, how bad is the Rust forum

Oh
I guess if we look at the bright side, a return of the rust forums are a great opportunity for the less active mods to get busy

I thought it was a russian or polish streamer/youtruber. Perhaps they saw your post, and then pushed it to their very gullible audience?

I don't get it. Are you expecting some kind of super serious discussion about forum byelaws and mod regulations to be happening here? I'd rather it be laid back than strictly moderated, because it just encourages less people to post here with their opinions. If it becomes an actual problem, which most of us feel it isn't, we'll go with what befalls then.

All I remember is me editing one of Garry's posts with Firebug to make it seem like a legit offer and removing any EXIF information in the screenshot and using TOR to post it and being nervous af about being found out, and seeing LMAO Pics spammed the fuck out for days

I can see how this thread would give a vibe like that on first glance; given the OP and the consistent moderator posting. It took me a few pages of reading bantering shitposts to catch onto the fact that it wasn't like that at all.
