When I checked with Drak he said he could not make so users could change just their thread titles, it can only be done by making a poster a mod so they can change thread titles period. Sorry you were not informed of this Squeek.

This maybe true but the reason she was banned was unjustful and a mod lied but that is the past. I also understand that people get multiple chances when they are here but I think allowing them a long time to cool off and come back wouldn't be such a crazy idea. I know a couple of people that wish they hadn't been booted and are sorry for what they did because they actually miss this place now that they know they cannot come back. And also to be honest, we all know there has been some people get banned and come back under a new name and a new ip

i can agree with this

Because those words were never meant to be seen or heard by you. You can only make judgments based on the actual actions taken, Erz. And if you feel those actions are unjust, then feel free to let me know. But peeking into the diary doesn't always reflect what the girl is actually up to.

But some of the time it actually does reflect what she's up to because she can be brutally honest without fear of reprieve of anything.

I don't want to beat this topic into the ground CMil. But to this day I'm not entirely sure what I did to get probationary banned.

I know me mouthing off about moderation didn't help, hence one of the threads about me. And I don't want to get into a he said, she said thing either, but all I did was post in my signature, Survivor is at LSP, PM me for details. And then I was banned. LSP hasn't been censored in months, and yet THAT was the reason why I was banned? Or was it just an excuse for my previous moderation comments?

And then, I stumble on a thread where I hear, I see people call me names, one goes as far as saying, he can't wait for me to mess up again so he can ban me, another who did ban me say "it felt good" to do so?

This time I feel my judgement is indicative of the actions taken.

I know where you are coming from, you are defending your fellow moderators' actions. But, I've spoken with other mods about this and they aren't proud of what I saw. I understand people are human, yadda yadda, but I wouldn't trust my fate to some of them. I can easily see one of them doing a "Danger Mouse" on me. So while you may feel I'm "overreacting", I feel you are "downplaying" what I saw.

And that's the last I speak of this for a while.

Your probation as i recall was for bumping the old Survivor thread to post a message about playing the new Survivor at LSP.

The bold part will never happen to anyone again, that I can guarantee.

I believe you Hunter.

However, for the former comment of me bumping the old Survivor thread. Really?!? Than that's even worse considering the last post in that thread was 9/30/08 and I bumped it on 10/06/08, a week later to alert people to a new Survivor. Regardless, that's a pretty crappy reason to probationary ban anyone, considering you see people bumping a thread from years ago.

 

[ComicChick]

i'd like to thank the mods who've participated in this thread the last few pages. it's nice to see feedback and Q&A and even if everything isn't the way you want it, i at least appreciate that you mods who have posted are posting and contributing to the conversation and topics at hand.

that's all i ever really wanted from a Mod, someone to help when help is needed, to fix my typos in my thread titles , and to moderate stuff on here, be it users, or the content posted.

 

[Prison Mike]

'Washroom'?? is that a figurative term or is it the thread that the mods all hang in...??

the 'washroom' sounds like this mythical place where all the mods hang out. the "washroom" is to mount olympus as the mods are to greek gods.

 

[TEDDY]

Of course, we all love TEDDY. [/robotic]

Damn right!

 

[ComicChick]

it sounds more like an employee breakroom at the local Buy More ...

there's no way of getting a Banned Users list is there? it's not that dire to me, it just seems like it'd be an easy reference lol

basically, i just wanna know i Master Chief is still banned. I saw a Britney Spears gif online and for some reason i thought of him ???

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I was reading some of the earlier posts in this thread and heard about the idea of coloured names? What's the deal on that?

Nah, he's still around.

You could always just find his name in the Members List and confirm it that way.

At last check I believe it would take a ton of messing around with user levels and user groups and resetting and altering and sacrificial lambs.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Personally, I feel the colored usernames are a bit excessive. And it seems like it'd only segregate members.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

One thing that's annoying to me and I would love to have changed is when you go to User Cp and it shows the list of Thread's people last posted in, you go away for 5 minutes, come back and all the threads that were last posted are gone from your list. Get's on my nerves.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

^I've had that happen and I agree, it's kind of annoying.


I thought that the colored names would've been pretty cool, but the join date and post counts tell how active you are and how long you've been here. I do believe that the people who have been here for a long period of time deserve to be recognized.

 

[Drakon]

Drakon never answered my question. Is there a mod here who can tell me step by step, with excrutiating exactness, as if to a very small child, how to edit a thread title? Because I am still not convinced that we regular users have this amazing and tantalizing ability....

I had to leave for a bit. I'm currently sharing my computer with someone who uses a computer as much as I do. I see it was answered already, so the only thing I can say is that I didn't know you meant permanently--you should be able to edit them within the first few minutes of making them.

I was reading some of the earlier posts in this thread and heard about the idea of coloured names? What's the deal on that?

Not happening. Someone [read-not it] should go through, and take all the ideas that were listed in the thread, as well as what has happened with them, and post them in the opening post, as a point of reference.

 

[knowsbleed]

So essentially, have there been any recommendations made in this thread that have been successfully implemented? Doesn't seem like it.

A few have, like post counts AND join dates are now required for bigger avatars.

What is up with the big VBulletin logo?

That's part of the whole new user groups push right? Wasn't that done before this thread was created? Though I do think that it was a good change.

As I said at the time I didn't feel you meant any harm by it, but some felt given your anti mod stance in several threads that you were trying to circumvent the no advertising rule, instead of just keeping it in your sig.

That's correct.
