[QUOTE=zzzz;34249608]Why won't my avatar change? It's supposed to be Princess Bubblegum eating spaghetti, but it still appears to me as my old avatar

[editline]17th January 2012[/editline]

also the avatar on my posts and on my profile page are different[/QUOTE]

Hello facepuncher! Perhaps you might want to try the CTRL (ConTRoL, usually located in the bottom left of your keyboard) + F5 (somewhere along the top of your keyboard) key combination in order to refresh your local website image cache! You might want to try this 2 to perhaps 4 times for it to take effect - you'll notice it'll work when the page takes a while longer than usual to load after pressing that key combination!!

Hope this helped!!

I just tried to visit my bookmark for facepunch, and it took me to this "Access Restricted" screen with a captcha that said my computer is infected with a virus that could act like a botnet, and in order to get temporary access I need to enter this captcha. What the fuck? I'm fairly certain that my computer is not infected, and when I tried to visit [url]www.facepunch.com[/url] on this Mac, I got taken to the same page, whereupon I did the captcha. Is this legit? If so, why is the website so certain that I have some sort of virus on every computer in my possession? Now I'm concerned that I either have a virus, or that page gave me a virus. Can someone fill me in on what is going on here?

Yes, it's legit. Cloudflare is just making sure you're not a spam bot. I dunno about the virus stuff though

ugh i guessed garry changed the size limit of blue avatars again....

[editline]17th January 2012[/editline]

for those rating disagree how come i can only get a 65x65 avatar instead of 80x80

I looked at page 7 and it seems other people had the same experience. That one guy posted an image of the page, and it said the same thing about the viruses and botnets. Is there something wrong with Cloudflare, because I can't figure out why the fuck it would say I have a virus, and now I'm really concerned about whether or not I actually have a virus or not, as if my original level of paranoia wasn't enough already...

[mooman1080]

Am I the only one seeing this?

I already tried crtl f-5'ing a couple of times.

Try doing a ctrl+F5 on this page:

I can't see any images in [t] tags.

[editline]17th January 2012[/editline]

Wait do I have to phrase that as a question?

[editline]17th January 2012[/editline]

I hope not.

[Ninny]

gotta love it when people try to advertise by buying garry a title and they fuck up the link

[Commandhat]

anyone else just get a one more step to access facepunch.com prompt?
I was posting about the new terraria update, then suddenly. BAM.
I'm slightly scared now :tinfoil:

I know I'm late, I'm just wondering why I got the prompt. Did I post too fast or something?

It means Cloudflare flagged you as malicious, which in 99% of the cases is a false positive.

[Bumrang]

Do people get banned for false reporting? I accidentally reported myself because it's kinda hard to click on small text on a phone :v:

[Krinkels]

What constitutes a gimmick ban?

[Neo Kabuto]

[QUOTE=Krinkels;34266801]What constitutes a gimmick ban?[/QUOTE]
It's when your whole account was created just to post with a certain pattern again and again (the gimmick).

[anime poster]

[QUOTE=Krinkels;34266801]What constitutes a gimmick ban?[/QUOTE]

if youre a gimmick.

aka if you sign up to do gimmicky stuff.

ie, all your posts are just album covers. (like in a thread about drugs you post a whiteny houston album cover)

[The Adjudicator]

Just pretty much the account was made not to be a legitimate member of this forum.

[Commandhat]

Here's an example. You made an account called AlwaysLies, and only posted your opinion being the exact opposite of your current feelings, responded negatively about good things, tried to excuse image macros as actual posts, etc. That's a gimmick.

Or, a more obvious one, AlwaysRepliesWithPictures. You never type an actual word and overuse the [t] and [img] tags.

[Pugsworth]

Mark unread doesn't seem to be working anymore, is this intentional or?

[Pnukup]

It works fine for me.

[Jackpody]

I keep getting the Cloudflare error were it wants you to enter a capatcha. Anyone else getting this? Tried virus scanning my other computer that was acting weird after Cloudflare told me about the botnet virus on my local network, scanned and sure was correct. 4 spyware viruses.

late but valid point, seems like it works when virus actually hits you.

[QUOTE=Bumrang;34265620]Do people get banned for false reporting? I accidentally reported myself because it's kinda hard to click on small text on a phone :v:[/QUOTE]

it takes at least 2 reports for a post to become flagged

[LordMoldyButt]

Was there ever a helpful rating?

[reevezy67]

I spend way too much time on this formative, I actually thought of the word informative when someone told me something today, It's a first for me.

Anyone else have that happen with any of the ratings?

Noticed something about the creationism corner, notice the thread names.

Moved to the drop dead thread section

[Thoughtless]

Surely these threads are more discussions rather than debates, and would be more suited in the chat threads or general discussion, rather than Mass Debate:

Sorry if I'm late, but how come posting that cat or whatever is a permaban? I don't plan to do it but why is it such a harsh punishment for that simple picture?

Because it was an annoying page stretching image which to simple-minded LMAo pics posters was apparently a punchline that got posted all the time.

because the only way you can know of it is to know it's a banme, and because if you think it's funny you deserve to leave
