What are the things factored into issuing a permaban? There's people with like 50+ probation/bans and still stick around for years I think And the obvious illegal or scams or chargebackers only get a regular versus a permanent for doing that, although it probably doesn't matter in the long run

Was it always bad to close threads in SA-Mart? I feel like I did that in the past and nobody said anything about it, but I did it to a recent thread and got a few PMs about it from nice folks so I reopened it. But then I look at the rules for the board and it's been there since 2013. I mean I can imagine the reason being people shipping a ton of stuff and then closing a thread so people being unable to mention they got scammed or whatever being a problem, but I got it in my head somewhere that it would be fine if there was nothing actually left for sale but I assume I just made that up in my mind at this point and am crazy.

FactsAreUseless posted:Probations for spelling and grammar were stupid because they didn't encourage good posting or prevent bad posting. Catchphrases and similar are handled forum by forum. I think they're only a big problem in GBS, because a bunch of broke-brain GBS dudes can't do joke. My one and only non-probation mod warning was to stop reporting for garbage punctuation and capitalization.  In my maturity I must concede it was a correct decision. (As were all my probations except maybe the one for mouthing off in YCS, and really posting in YCS takes your probation status into your hands anyway) Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Is there a way to view the forums wordfilters? Or is it intended that the only way to find them is to just start typing words and see what happens? Also, when/why did signatures get changed from forum-wide to only in certain forums, and why don't more forums allow them?

From QCS :FactsAreUseless posted:When we first made the rebooted GBS, a bunch of mods couldn't see it, despite it being labeled as the same type of forum as the mod forums. When I went to make it public I discovered there's a bunch of weird behind-the-scenes permission stuff I had to go through and fix for each usertype, literally at 11 when I was trying to send rebooted GBS live.

I've decided to probate you every time I notice you don't capitalize the first word in your sentences or end them in a period. Just to be safe and make sure you aren't saving all those big letters and little dots for the kids.

There are supposedly 150,000+ registered goons, but do you have any idea how many of them are active, i.e. posting in the last week or month? How many goons are borwsing the forums at any given time? I suppose evening/night in America has the most activity.

What percentage of the probations and bans you hand out are based on actual rule breaking vs. people acting/posting like idiots? Followup question: is there a clear distinction between the two?

That's a good point, so maybe that's not what I meant. I suppose I'm curious how that rule is actually applied. I feel like I see people posting idiotic nonsense often and it's apparently fine (or flies under the radar). Other times I see people posting idiotic nonsense and it results in a probation. Is there a reason why one idiotic post might slip by and another might not? Is is a matter of what gets reported, or what a mod sees? How do you as mods determine what = idiotic rule breaking vs. what = passable idiocy? I'm guessing it's just subjective.

Part subjectivity, and part reports. There might be a ton of idiotic posts in YLLS threads I don't read, and thus won't see unless they're brought to my attention.

You can't buy someone else a name change - everyone would get renamed things like wvwvvwvwwwvwvwwvw and be unable to log in because they don't know their username.

Mods can always put in a request to change someone's avatar and admins can just do it. No one is typically going to take away a well earned big red title unless you're friends with a mod or IK or they just feel sorry for you.
