[QUOTE=gmaster;17903854]Can you get banned for elitism? Like "STUPID 09'er NOOB! 06'ers ftw!"[/QUOTE] It's flaming. Report it.

[QUOTE=gmaster;17903854]Can you get banned for elitism? Like "STUPID 09'er NOOB! 06'ers ftw!"[/QUOTE] Yes, but not as often as you did when the labs were applied. The lack of join dates were basically an "anti-elitism" drive, but it failed, because the join dates were still in the user profile pages.

Why isn't there an FAQ? It would halve this thread.

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;17896817]Spork-Juct once banned me for one week for mistaking a horizontal line with a signature mark. He corrected his mistake by removing the ban from my Event Log alone; everything else was normal; I was still banned. Quite a cheap move :raise:[/QUOTE] Mods can't remove events from the event log :downs:

[QUOTE=The Slayer;17907237]Why isn't there an FAQ? It would halve this thread.[/QUOTE] because no one would read it

[QUOTE=gerbils_alt_2;17896569]Mentioning HEZZY (Ticker) so a mod see's this post Why were so many mods demoted? [editline]12:42PM[/editline] In the workplace it is a bad characteristic for an employee's opinion to get in the way of their job.[/QUOTE] We don't get paid for this. It isn't a job. [QUOTE=gerbils_alt_2;17896940]Facepunch is still technically a business. Their material's are posts. It is the job of the mods to be fair about moderating those posts.[/QUOTE] The forums aren't part of the business. The business is the game development studio, nothing more.

If one of us golds has been told off by dagron and been banned with reason "Don't post in the refugee camp", but we know what we've done wrong, can we post again or will he just anal us as soon as we do

When is that IP ban thing gonna be removed or fixed so that if you log out you can actually log back into the account you were banned on. It's a pretty lazy solution.

They all used to have zombies n' shit, I love the moderator avatar fads

I just got this avatar off of DA, I think mm3guy copied me or something [editline]04:42PM[/editline] [QUOTE=_Mythic;17913669]When is that IP ban thing gonna be removed or fixed so that if you log out you can actually log back into the account you were banned on. It's a pretty lazy solution.[/QUOTE] You're not supposed to be able to log in to any account if you're on an IP that has a banned account linked to it. The IP ban expires when the ban on the account(s) expires. Can't log back in to view the refugee camp thread? Simple solution: don't log out to try and post on an alt

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;17915734]What if someone acidentally deletes their cookies through CCleaner or something similar?[/QUOTE] This is what I did. I left cookies checked by accident on Google Chrome. The account I was banned on is a perma ban, now my brother can't login on his account.

shouldn't of gotten banned then

[QUOTE=Hezzy;17913616]We don't get paid for this. It isn't a job. The forums aren't part of the business. The business is the game development studio, nothing more.[/QUOTE] Why did so many mods get demoted?

[QUOTE=gerbils_alt_2;17918374]Why did so many mods get demoted?[/QUOTE] Inactivity.

and/or terrible modding

I've always wondered, but never asked for fear it would be misinterpreted as a banme, when a mod bans somebody, the ban reason appears in the post box. So would banning a person with an emote for a reason cause the emote to show up?

Yeah [editline]08:08PM[/editline] wanna see

[QUOTE=Dragon;17918826]Yeah [editline]08:08PM[/editline] wanna see[/QUOTE] you can test me for an hour

rrerr it up dergon

[QUOTE=Dragon;17918826]Yeah [editline]08:08PM[/editline] wanna see[/QUOTE] Kinda, but I'm afraid to say a solid "yes", so I guess not.

DKer can do it, he is a manly man

[QUOTE=Hezzy;17915560]I just got this avatar off of DA, I think mm3guy copied me or something[/QUOTE] actually it was in my mod avatar queue folder thingey, it was just a coincidence :v: [QUOTE=IceCKryss;17918737]I've always wondered, but never asked for fear it would be misinterpreted as a banme, when a mod bans somebody, the ban reason appears in the post box.

It going to work for the highlight and maybe the event log but it won't show up on the banned message the user sees.

When you view a thread by images (The icon on the right next to its link to the thread) The header thing is "Image Test", is there any plans on this changing to be more related to the thread itself? [i]edit[/i] And is there ever going to be more options on the report button? Ban evasions and things?

[QUOTE=JSharpe;17921912]And is there ever going to be more options on the report button? Ban evasions and things?[/QUOTE] Why does it need a button to push they're going to see it anyway, and if it's not something that can not be brought across in a report PM a super mod.

[QUOTE=compwhizii;17922246]Why does it need a button to push they're going to see it anyway, and if it's not something that can not be brought across in a report PM a super mod.[/QUOTE] I'd prefer writing in the ban reports.

[QUOTE=Ruslana;17922416]I'd prefer writing in the ban reports.[/QUOTE] oh hey I didn't know you were a mod what's up

[QUOTE=JSharpe;17921912]When you view a thread by images (The icon on the right next to its link to the thread) The header thing is "Image Test", is there any plans on this changing to be more related to the thread itself?[/QUOTE] i just thought I'd point out that the image list has no permissions... blues can see image lists from the mod and gold forum

If it all just goes to the same place, why do we even need to choose a category? Can't we just have a button that you click once and it asks for confirmation and then boom; it's off.
