Unreal Tournament is one of my favorite games of all time. Every now and then I'll play a few rounds of Instagib CTF-Coret and it's as great as it was in 1999.

How'd you get yours to be red? Asking for a friend...

I found an svg file of the UT logo and used some free editor to color it red.

Is there a chart available for how fast GBS mods burn out vs those of other mains/subs?

Why would anybody make a chart like that?

Mods can reward people? With what?

Free custom titles, with assistance from admins to upload images. Admins can additionally give people platinum/archives/no-ads.

Do you get reports from mods or do y'all handle that poo poo in the mod forum? Also, if you did get a report from a mod would you put the offender on probation even if you didn't agree as a courtesy?

If a mod reports something in YLLS, I'll probably look at it more closely than I would otherwise, but I'm not gonna probate somebody just because another mod reported them. I assume that's how everybody else does it, too.

Who's the longest-registered poster with a completely clean rap sheet?

Corollary: what's the shortest ever time between a new registration and that user's ban?

Dunno about the former, but plenty of people over the years have been banned for their first post because it was a shill, really gross, or just dumb as gently caress. Then of course there are crazy rereg spammers who seldom make it long before they're banned again.

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?

Posting like an idiot is against the rules, and anybody who says "which rules?" is an idiot who shouldn't post here.

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.

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.

New thread works better. Gets more new eyes on it than burying it in the megathread.

So what is the deal with <deleted user>? Like from this post?

The only thing I could think of is relating to the last sentence in this paragraph from the SA Privacy Policy

I believe that's what banning used to be. Just Lowtax deleting the user like they're Brother Nero.

Actually, in that vein: I know we get some "celebrities" (mostly minor internet folks, like Kate Beaton, but also folks like Deadmau5) on the forums every now and then, do you mods ever take note or adjust your modding to accommodate this? I can't imagine it would affect anything that much, just curious. Also, if anyone has memories of "famous" people on the forums and how that went, I bet that would be amusing.

Derek Smart was recently a moderator here.

Well there's an obvious forums question. Is it still bannable to make dumb jokes about SA's frontpage and when's the last time someone was banned for that joke?

I doubt most of us care, but if Lowtax sees it then he might reflexively ban you.

Is there some sort of "event-log" for forums use?
For example, could you tell if someone clicked a subforum, shitposted, and didn't once click the rule thread?

No, and we don't need that kind of paper trail to probate somebody for being a shithead, anyway.
