Ask us about the forums: READ THE OP or get BANNED. - General

[QUOTE=Leestons;34359015]Why are the mods/admins so ban happy here (at least in the gmod forum) Instead of warning or advising somebody (who is new here) that they posted in the wrong section, which was most likely a honest mistake, they just ban them![/QUOTE] are you kidding I've locked about 50 threads in gmod section for being in the wrong forum over the last 2 months. I only banned a handful of those people, because they either have done it before, been here long enough to know better, or broke a bunch of rules. Gmod general is probably the section I'm most lenient on lol. Honest mistake? all they have to do is put effort into making threads and it wouldn't happen. And yeah, the ban is the warning etc etc

ok this is starting to get worrying it's been nearly 2 days, wheres my title? :(

[QUOTE=Dysentery;34360251]ok this is starting to get worrying it's been nearly 2 days, wheres my title? :([/QUOTE] Is this the title you're talking about, or is it an old one? [img]http://i.imgur.com/HIKwg.png[/img] WAHA

Go talk to garry directly, boostar shows you tipped me so the money made it in. prob. something messed up, i assume.

[QUOTE=Dysentery;34360251]ok this is starting to get worrying it's been nearly 2 days, wheres my title? :([/QUOTE] Your title is showing WAHAHA~ for me, and WAHA for Sourcegamer8. What is it supposed to be?

[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;34360325]Is this the title you're talking about, or is it an old one? [img]http://i.imgur.com/HIKwg.png[/img] WAHA[/QUOTE] i think it's supposed to be that one, but for me i still see the old one wtf (and it doesn't even say i changed my title in the event log) [editline]23rd January 2012[/editline] ok yeah there we go

why someone would even pay for that is above me [QUOTE=Leestons;34359233]I was never banned, not that I know of anyway. I've just never seen so many banned members on a forum before, and was asking why so many bans are given.[/QUOTE] as said, they're warnings - if mods would run around and warn people in a thread just by saying "oi m8 u shldnt really do that" people might get away with 40 warnings from 10 different mods because there's no way of keeping track. FP doesn't use a crappy warning system (thank god), and banning you stores it into a neat list to serve as your repsheet. it also punishes you like a goat licking an electric fence - you'll never make that mistake again (or at least not soon)

Looking in the chat threads for an advice thread, I see "The Super Friendly Social and Love Advice Thread". However, it seems like that is a thread only for love and relationship advice. Should I still post there if I need advice on something that [I]doesn't[/I] have to do with love and friendship?

What's the longest non-perma ban someone can get?

[QUOTE=tier56;34365175]What's the longest non-perma ban someone can get?[/QUOTE] 1 month.

[QUOTE=tier56;34365175]What's the longest non-perma ban someone can get?[/QUOTE] It used to be a few years (2 I believe) but it's not used anymore.

What happened to 700 Days?

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;34365262]It used to be a few years (2 I believe) but it's not used anymore.[/QUOTE] At that point, it seems like there'd be little chance of them coming back after that long anyway. I'm guessing that's why these absurd lengths aren't used.

And what happened to 1 second bans?

[QUOTE=Krinkels;34365594]And what happened to 1 second bans?[/QUOTE] Event log error, they never existed.

They did when the OIFY was public back when I was new.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;34365897]Event log error, they never existed.[/QUOTE] Didn't Garry or someone say those were actually hour long bans but due to a change in the code for the site, hour long bans showed as second long bans and day+ bans showed as minutes instead?

[editline]24th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=TheJoker;34365933]They did when the OIFY was public back when I was new.[/QUOTE] Eh no

Would be OK if I made a thread selling things for a fundraiser that I am doing? It will help finance me, and other members of my group to goto the national championship. I am not trying to go on a cruise here. Im looking to go [url=http://mnleexplorer.org/Conference_Nationals/nationals.htm]here.[/url] My better judgement says no, but I thought I would ask.

I remember seeing someone talking about a script in Ask Us that shows a user's most rated next to their name like it used to be, were they any updates on it?

so how did you fix everything when the forums stylesheet or w/e fucks up and ctrlf5 doesnt work

[QUOTE=McGee;34371367]so how did you fix everything when the forums stylesheet or w/e fucks up and ctrlf5 doesnt work[/QUOTE] Garry is fucking with something.

Is the layout for the site actually broke right now? Tried clearing my cache and ctrl+F5ing to no avail.

fucked up for me too, so I guess fucked up for everyone?

Oh, there it goes now that people are posting. Edit: Automerge... Should've known better.

Just updated the forums. Eventlog doesn't show joins or spambots now.
