Staffing changes.

Post by **Dragon Fogel** » Wed Sep 30, 2009 5:54 am

Changes: I'm now an admin and thefalman is a global mod, instead of the other way around.

To be clear, this isn't a punishment for Fal or anything; he just wasn't using any of his admin powers. He told us beforehand that he doesn't mind the change.

The main focus of my new position will be getting rid of spambots. I'm already catching most of them as it is, but now I can IP-ban them. And if another bot comes along and makes 20 or so posts throughout the boards, I can delete them all with one moderator action. As such, I have updated my custom title to reflect this new duty.

Have fun!

My name looks weird in green.

(N.B. This is not a serious complaint.)

All complaints must be taken seriously!

Although yeah red suited it more =p

Oh well.

Post by **HPD** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 3:19 am

I can switch the colours around, if you like. <_<

N.B. Not a serious proposal.

Post by **thefalman** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 3:34 am

But green's too perfect for Linky's name, I wouldn't want to ruin that!

Post by **HPD** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 5:45 am

Then we just 'green up' your shiz:

Post by **thefalman** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:55 am

Eww no that looks even wronger.

I mean, the thought was there, but I think I'll just stick with the green name...

Surely "addons" or external programs exist which automatically do that? Kind of like email filters. I haven't looked, but even if there isn't no doubt one of the decent programmers here could create something along those lines.

EDIT: BBcode isn't working.

Post by **Xenesis** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:52 am

There is, but for what it's worth admins have a 'nuke this person so that they never existed on the forum' button.

Bog · Post by **Bog** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:58 am

Then they have no right to complain.

THIS IS A BAAAAD OMEN.

Bog · Post by **Bog** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:51 am

Fal, I'm sure I've heard that in a film somewhere. It's really annoying me because I can't for the life of me figure out which. Enlighten me.

Post by **thefalman** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 4:25 am

I'm sure there have been lines about bad omens in various films, but like the geek I am I'm actually referencing a line from the first mission of AoE II's Aztec campaign:

"I hear the growl of the jaguar. Is this a baaad omen?"

Hopefully not MIA due to AVCon. Did it get taken there in the jumble?

I'm pretty sure I didn't bring it because of the whole MA waaaaaaaaaaaaahfest. =

Y'know, I was kind of hoping you'd have gone for "we're in a tight spot!" >_>

Can't you make then both green, and the admins in caps?

Post by **Xenesis** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:20 am

I don't want my name in green

I don't want Xen's name to be green :O

Sorry but the caps idea is retarded.

I knew, but y,know, this place is crazy, so it was worth a try.

Mods in italics, admins in bold and italics, users choose what their name's color is.

This.

Post by **Xenesis** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 11:23 pm

That would involve modding of the forums, which I do not have the resources to do this far from home. (And it'd be silly)

Sure you do, you're running a linux distro, right? Just do everything from the terminal~

HPD, why are you suddenly monochrome?

Because I sent him to the 20s. Turns out he was the man who made the bookends for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I should have said "because I already performed an action this turn", obviously.

Admins need to be pink.

And I demand pictures of Xen atop Mount Everest wearing a panda costume.

And a tutu.
