Forum Discussion v5 - Imagine if you used Ignore List. - General

[QUOTE=Kommodore;52903444]so accounts are currently being migrated and we can expect a way to merge them next week if i understand? dope[/QUOTE] well I know the first part is true but where are people getting the next week part from? serious question since I've probably missed something somewhere.

yeah that

[QUOTE=postal;52903440]...yes? one is giving people a heads up with a warning, the other is jumping straight to indiscriminate banning.[/QUOTE] What I am getting from this is that people are banned for the repeating points, not for the points themselves? I get that your opinion is that they have been adressed. Can you try to see this from another perspective? Well then the question is why people are repeatedly bringing up the issues of dishonest discussion tactics and biased thread spamming ? Do we have some sticky somewhere? I'm sorry, I was busy with work when all of this happened but where can I see how those problems were adressed? Cuz all I am seeing is "they have been adressed" but never a how and when. Maybe I just missed it.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;52903444]so accounts are currently being migrated and we can expect a way to merge them next week if i understand? dope[/QUOTE] Im still a little confused on the general process of merging/migration. As I understood it previously, you made a new account with a new name on the new forum, and then you could merge it with your previous account on oldpunch. Now it seems like all oldpunch profiles are being migrated en masse to the new forum? Idk. I was waiting for other methods of verification to create an account but it kinda seems like theres a bit of a sense of urgency when it comes to getting moved over and claiming whatever name you want.

And if you want to see what awaited at the bottom of that rabbithole, here you go: [quote=Big Dumb American;52697323]Tudd, the next time you come into this thread to revel in the attention and make sure that everybody is talking about Special Tudd, you're going to the fucking cooler. You're every bit as responsible for this bullshit as anybody else, because you're always hot on the heels of any mention of your name to make sure that people keep talking about you. Piss off with it or you're outa here. Everybody else: shut the fuck up about Tudd. We get it -- he's a shameless propagandist and slimy lil' goblinoid. We've all said it a bajiillion times. The cycle's getting tired. Quit giving him attention to feed off of, or you're getting banned. 'Bout to request that Tudd be an Auto-Ban word for god's sake. [/quote] Followed by a month-long ban institution. The "problem" has been discussed God knows how many times, and it always winds up at the simple explanation of "if you can't handle significantly different opinions then add them to your ignore list." People dragged this out for 40 pages before it had to finally be banned, and frankly I don't want another repeat of that because it contributes literally nothing.

I was away for a bit and when I came back I still saw a heap of News Stories and people posting opinionated bullshit in the video section because the rules are less strict there. All right, thanks.

I fully expect someone to crop a porn for their avatar to be unrecognisable and then playing the long game by expanding it pixel by pixel until it's recognisable and getting promptly banned but no one knowing when it happened. Anarchy and chaos ensues and Facepunch tyranny ceases to exists amidst fires of revolution.

[QUOTE=Reagy;52903637]Stop looking at me like that.[/QUOTE] You would if you could.

[QUOTE=Van-man;52903662]You would if you could.[/QUOTE] You make this sound like a challenge.

[QUOTE=Reagy;52903666]You make this sound like a challenge.[/QUOTE] I'd be kinda sad if you didn't.

It's been so long since I was stuck with 64x64 that I have no idea what to set my avatar as

how are people using gifs for avatars on newpunch

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;52903890]how are people using gifs for avatars on newpunch[/QUOTE] Long as they're 64x64 it accepts them.

interesting, guess because the avatar i was trying to use was 80x80 it resized it but it didn't keep the gif extension.

Just checked out newpunch, not a big fan of the colors but i seem to remember thinking there was rumors of skins? also, not entirely sold on the coin thing - but other than that its feeling snappy and nice.

[QUOTE=Duck M.;52903990]Can I make it look the same as current fp[/QUOTE] If the (for some reason) 500 character limit CSS was raised then yeah. Kinda silly to have such a low limit on CSS rules but you can still do some basic stuff with it as is I guess.

Will the "quote post" button eventually work with the middle mouse button (as in we can have another window open for replies)? I like opening new tabs, and this is really cramping my style. I like how it automatically takes you to the newest post in a thread you've read when clicking on it again, nice touch :ok:

Here's what I was able to get with the 500 char limit: [t]https://i.imgur.com/0PpuJuE.png[/t] But obviously with the limit lifted you could end up with something closer. This was just me fooling around with the CSS for 5 or 10 minutes: [t]https://i.imgur.com/iAT6Rhv.png[/t] So it's not like it's far gone from the original style. It's just the color scheme that makes it look different.
