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

[QUOTE=Pascall;53035994]I don't understand why suddenly there's an issue when Kiwi opts to call someone out rather than ban but I do that more often than literally any other moderator on the team lol. If you're gonna have an issue then at least be consistent about it. This complaint has no real merit imo.[/QUOTE] That's because you actually go through the effort of making people realize their fuck-up in the process of calling them out on their bullshit, as opposed to low effort name calling like what was being discussed here. [QUOTE=Hezzy;53035958]I suppose all the other posts calling the person out on bad behaviour are shitposts as well? [/QUOTE] "Why Reply?/Report don't respond" would have been justifiable ban reasons for me if I had any say in the matter, because all those posts did was contribute to a thread derailment, and did nothing to further any form of constructive dialogue or discussion regarding the actual topic. That's my opinion anyway. [QUOTE=Hezzy;53035958] Besides, the dude was clearly banned [B]when[/B] Kiwi got to it. [/QUOTE] Novangel banned Aide [I]after[/I] Kiwis post, as well as my own post in that thread. What you're implying is that he was banned [I]before or during[/I] Kiwis comment, which isn't actually correct. [QUOTE=Hezzy;53035958]If you want to make a complaint about a Moderator, then do it via PM. Don't post it in this thread.[/QUOTE] I'm sure this isn't directed specifically towards me, but it's worth mentioning that I'm merely making observations, correcting false information, as well as asking a simple question in response to a comment you made earlier. I'm not making or lodging any complaints either, I'm only engaging in an active discussion about the forums in a thread called Forums Discussion.

But to avoid that process entirely, that's why Hezzy encourages people to PM him with issues with moderators. That way you have a platform to discuss your grievances without being at risk of getting banned, unless you say something really rude to Hezzy I guess...

Let's stop beating a dead horse and stop discussing Kiwi's post. If somebody wants to make a complaint about it, feel free to PM me.

Why is the Mod question thread so meme'd up I actually felt a bit embarassed when I opened it and read it [editline]9th January 2018[/editline] Eh fuck this is not about the op of that thread, I just realized he last page of discussion, more the general tone

[QUOTE=Killuah;53037357]Why is the Mod question thread so meme'd up I actually felt a bit embarassed when I opened it and read it [/QUOTE] Don't read the RP post

I think a mod needs to tell TheBorealis to take a break and go outside. Probably about two thirds of the threads in SH and Polidicks are threads he's started.

[QUOTE=BF;53039896]I think a mod needs to tell TheBorealis to take a break and go outside.

[editline]10th January 2018[/editline] [QUOTE=Kiwi;53039901]I just did this exact thing lol.[/QUOTE] Nevermind!

[QUOTE=Raidyr;53039908]The guidance we have received in the past regarding people spamming threads in SH or Polidicks is to add them to your ignore list.[/QUOTE] Yea cause I never understood the complaint that was just over a person posting 'too much news'. as long as it's news, who cares who posted it?? If the threads are shit (which they apparently ended up being in this case) then it's become a problem worth addressing. Otherwise fuck itttt

idk dude punishing activity should be a thing, it'd be like a poster bonzai tree and god knows I like bonzai trees

[QUOTE=postal;53039919]Yea cause I never understood the complaint that was just over a person posting 'too much news'. as long as it's news, who cares who posted it?? If the threads are shit (which they apparently ended up being in this case) then it's become a problem worth addressing. Otherwise fuck itttt[/QUOTE] It seems like a self-correcting problem. A poster slows down and makes sure they are posting better or go on increasingly longer vacations. Either way, less article spam. Given the position in the past of people asking to curtail certain users from posting a certain amount of threads, I think it would be awkward to now arbitrarily limit what someone can post even if it meets all the forum rules.

I didn't really notice the mass article posting, but I wouldn't exactly miss his dramatized thread titles.

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52862554] [B]Q.[/B] Can I get Gold status? I have a bunch of alt accounts around, across these I hit the postcount requirement and my main hits the date requirement.[/QUOTE] What is the post and date requirements?

[QUOTE=gastyne;53040261]What is the post and date requirements?[/QUOTE] 5 years 2k posts

[QUOTE=kilerabv;53040476]5 years 2k posts[/QUOTE] I've got that c-could I be a moderator?

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;53040552]I've got that c-could I be a moderator?[/QUOTE] -snip- Wasn't really serious and this is serious post zone so I'll just stop

[QUOTE=SataniX;53040614]-snip- Wasn't really serious and this is serious post zone so I'll just stop[/QUOTE] I thought this was mod QA and by the time I realised I figured people woulda seen it so it'd be too late anyway and if I am to be punished then perhaps I deserve it for lack of attention/general poor post quality

Wow I finally bothered migrating to newpunch and holy crap are avatar size upgrades prohibitively expensive. I spent all my points and it's still smaller than a blue member.

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;53041689]Wow I finally bothered migrating to newpunch and holy crap are avatar size upgrades prohibitively expensive.

Would be neat to have a "aka" under the username with the oldpunch name listed.

[QUOTE=shadowboy303;53041710]I just hoping I can still work out everyone usernames, I'm Halite on newpunch by the way. Would be neat to have a "aka" under the username with the oldpunch name listed.[/QUOTE] i'd want that to be optional though because i don't want to see my username ever again

One thing I've noticed with Newpunch is that people manage to find old threads and necropost them somehow. It's incredibly interesting and this problem was rare on Oldpunch. Now it's way more often.

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;53041689]Wow I finally bothered migrating to newpunch and holy crap are avatar size upgrades prohibitively expensive. I spent all my points and it's still smaller than a blue member.[/QUOTE] This is why I gave up my hopes of ever having a decently sized avatar

[QUOTE=TrafficMan;53041953]This is why I gave up my hopes of ever having a decently sized avatar[/QUOTE] Eh. I guess it kinda sucks going from cool big-dick gold avatars to itty bitty ones, but honestly I'm not too broken up over it. Im happy with my avatar on Newpunch, and if not i can work towards changing it. You can still work with what you've got default-wise, just gotta get a little more creative in your thinking.

[QUOTE=TrafficMan;53041953]This is why I gave up my hopes of ever having a decently sized avatar[/QUOTE] I presume once all threads have been migrated over to new punch, you’ll be able to have a decent size avatar.

Gold sized avatars are probably my favorite aesthetic feature thats uniquely facepunch. They're the precisely perfect size and shape. Prefer them over just about any implementation I've seen on any other forum.

[QUOTE=Duck M.;53042298]Gold sized avatars are probably my favorite aesthetic feature thats uniquely facepunch. They're the precisely perfect size and shape. Prefer them over just about any implementation I've seen on any other forum.[/QUOTE] I liked last.fm avatars before they went and made them round. they were the same aspect ratio as ours but slightly larger, and fit the margins a little better.

[QUOTE=Duck M.;53042298]Gold sized avatars are probably my favorite aesthetic feature thats uniquely facepunch. They're the precisely perfect size and shape. Prefer them over just about any implementation I've seen on any other forum.[/QUOTE] And importantly, they aren't circles

I thought the coins you got when you first migrated your account are it, and you don't get any more as more boards (and your posts on them) get moved there I certainly haven't been given any more since the GMF and Programming boards got added [editline]10th January 2018[/editline] Newpunch is still reporting that I have 4 posts despite there being hundreds in the GMF
