What's the mod ruling on niche secret-santa planning? New thread, or keep it in the established megathread? Specifically interested in running an exchange for the Fountain Pen Thread which isn't a lightning fast thread, but isn't quiet either.

Do mods/admins have any sort of timeline as to when the forums are moving to xenforo? It seems like such a crazy undertaking, I can't imagine it would be anytime soon

It's nice to have a point of shared shadenfreude when everyone around you is doing Christmas stuff and you're (I'm) just eating deli turkey in pajamas with Netflix and a cat.

Shine posted:I believe that's what banning used to be. Just Lowtax deleting the user like they're Brother Nero. Way back in the dark ages before input sanity checking some people had accidental or intentional malicious code in their usernames. The one that really stand out was someone with username ".", which it turned out was also the default null placeholder in the blocked user list. Cue forums being effectively down for two weeks as the servers poo poo themselves trying to conceal his existence from literally every other user on every page load. E: well that dosen't sound too different from hellbanning, the issue may have instead been an overflowed "xyz users have ignored this jerk" counter. W/e, username was still the root cause. shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Oct 11, 2016 |

Gimbal lock posted:Do the mods know how many people have any given poster on ignore? Mods definitely don't. I know at some level (either admins or perhaps just ZDR-level) it's possible to see a user's ignore list (see: Proudlegion). The only things mods get to see that users don't, are mod forums, and certain mod/admin actions. Probations that are approved go in the leper's colon for everyone to see, but mods can see probations that were declined / rescinded, as well as mod/admin-requested custom title changes. We don't see anything for purchased title changes.

In the posting glory hole there's a list of the top 100 most ignored users. http://forums.somethingawful.com/stats.php?statid=4&all=#jump Before he was an IK in the election forum, fishmech had the dubious honor of multiple accounts in the top 20. Now only his Nintendo Kid alt remains on the list.

zen death robot posted:I can fix that Story: Years ago, SA introduced the ability to buy intra-forums ads for a cheaper price than the normal banner ads. A... friend from high school decided to buy this hideous flashing pink banner which linked directly to my "ignore this user" link. When someone pointed this banner ad out to radium in the thread he posted for feedback on the new ad prices, he realized that probably shouldn't be allowed, and fixed it for future purchases, but in typical radium fashion he didn't fix the existing banner ad (so it ran for the full month or whatever). Several hundred people clicked it, as you can see from the Posting Gloryhole page. I like to believe that some of those people later became puzzled as to why they had a mod on their ignore list (I haven't been tracking the exact count so I don't know if it's decreased over time).

Plus he was pretty far to the left for D&D at the time, and was known for being fairly anti-Israel & pro-Palestine, to the point where the  emoticon is named after him.However, enough people got tired of his posting in D&D that there were several banner campaigns were launched to get people to add him to their ignore lists, which largely succeeded. He's been permabanned banned since 2011 or so, however.

Gay as a pejorative. Firstly, context matters a very great deal. And the audience matters a very great deal too. But this is actually a very important issue. Growing up as a young adolescent within an environment that openly mocks a core part of who you are as a person, is super not healthy. Obviously I am talking about this post. https://forums.somethingawful.com/announcement.php?forumid=1 Its not okay. If I could report the post, I would have. Instead I am posting here for want of what to do. The fact that there was no intent of harm, isn't sufficient. The fact that people reading the post will associate being gay as "bad", is not a good thing. Audience matters and this went to a lot of people. It needs to be flagged and I am that moron who is flagging it. Literally the person who is in control of this whole forum but it needs to be done.

While we're on the subject, is the n word okay word to post or not? What if, when called out for it, a poster claims that they're black? Asking for a friend.
