[QUOTE=sam6420;53116296]Nah, you'll probably have to ask Garry (or maybe Hezzy) for help.[/QUOTE] Hezzy, definitely ask Hezzy.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;53116184]Thread V. 5 link in the OP is busted, or the thread was deleted can't really tell.[/QUOTE] Because Hezzy linked to the edit page if the post, has been mentioned before

The Cursed Images in LMAO Pics have not stopped. I feel an impromptu poll should be held as to whether or not to completely destroy the page and start over, with the OP being (at least temporarily) edited to disallow them.

Just my 2 cents on it, it's kinda boring actually to see both the "cursed images" and reaction images to them because it generally seems to be the same shit over and over again. And then it happens again 5 pages later (probably an exaggeration). At the very least bring new material.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;53116409]Because Hezzy linked to the edit page if the post, has been mentioned before[/QUOTE] Been mentioned before, yet a simple link hasn't been fixed? [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1584775]You could go into his thread history[/url] to get it, but that's awfully inconvenient.

Has anyone else come across this issue on mobile? I cleared my cahce and now I can't even login on my phone. [t]https://i.imgur.com/H16KmkV.jpg[/t]

Unfortunately, the whole site is like that for me and when I try to log in, it is treated as an invalid attempt. [editline]9th February 2018[/editline] Just checked and FF on mobile does not appear to be affected by this. [editline]9th February 2018[/editline] Update: I fixed it by checking "Request Desktop Site". [del]Once I was able to log in, I could uncheck it and everything was fine.[/del] It still messes up when unchecked.

I don't mind reaction image chains, it's when it's every other page due to the cursed images that bothers me, it's best saved for those REALLLY cringe moments. Otherwise you just run the joke dry.

Spam has been destroyed.[/QUOTE] As an aside, when you unperson someone like this, does it also free up their username for someone else to use. I know that it usually doesn't, but in this case it's kind of a shame because Melody is a rather nice username and thanks to a spammer it's now gone, is all. :frown:

Are there any kinda safeguards in place to prevent some eventual spectacular security fuck up kind of situation from ending in a massacre using that

[QUOTE=echo78;53121846]Are there any kinda safeguards in place to prevent some eventual spectacular security fuck up kind of situation from ending in a massacre using that[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's called nuclear deterrence. If a mod is nuked, the nukers IP is traced and every machine in their city is nuked and IP banned just to be sure

[QUOTE=Noob4life;53114491]I never really had any performance trouble posting in Newpunch, is it a mobile issue?[/QUOTE] I'm on desktop/chrome/win10, I find that trying to scroll down threads of any length tends to be pretty crappy, whereas oldpunch is perfectly smooth

For mods it'd be nice to see how many spammers were banned vs banned users on a given IP range within seconds vs manually checking each. Could toss a suggestion for it, but def would be in low priority wish list.

They find a new shitty meme and run it into the ground as fast as physically possible before moving on to the next unfunny thing they can find.

[QUOTE=echo78;53121846]Are there any kinda safeguards in place to prevent some eventual spectacular security fuck up kind of situation from ending in a massacre using that[/QUOTE]Posts and threads don't get permanently deleted, easy enough (sorta) to undo. Only Garry has the ability to permanently delete something on the new forums afaik.

[QUOTE=echo78;53121846]Are there any kinda safeguards in place to prevent some eventual spectacular security fuck up kind of situation from ending in a massacre using that[/QUOTE] I'm sure the forums are backed up at least daily.

[QUOTE=Ott;53122593][img]https://my.mixtape.moe/brqhxb.png[/img] :([/QUOTE] That was added around the middle of January. For some reason, although it seems to count the entirety of commits from 2017, it only counts a small amount from 2018. If you look below at the amount of commits in January and February, you can see the numbers for 2018 are actually higher.

So ficool2 got banned for rating "Funny" a tragic disaster. But what about all the previous times someone has done this ? Will all the next times when someone has died, we will get banned for "funny ratings ?
