Wouldn't be helpful if I did, it's mostly private information he can't access anyway. I can't help with the spreadsheet.

Not really a fan of mass banning accounts based solely on a pattern. It's a good starting point/correlation though, I've banned a few thus far (couple hundred total).

I don't share information like that. It just gives them more information on what to avoid, and what not to do. They read this board too.

No, it's not okay, the ban will escalate.

You're overthinking it. It's a 2 week period, so no, you don't need to log in every day, it's not a daily period. If you log in and make one post in a 2 week period, you get 14 activity for that week. It's that simple.

However your activity can be capped by your post count, so it's possible for your displayed activity to be lower than it could be, this is referred to as potential activity. This activity stays available, it doesn't go away. As you make posts, your activity would continue to rise if you have potential, regardless of periods.

Edit logs are already kept, though there's no web interface for viewing them, so it's not efficient. The notification could probably be more visible.

I haven't been keeping up with the new software, but the intention was for edit revisions to be visible to those who could edit the post (so OP, mods, admins, etc), though ideally it's customizable. Part of the problem with SMF was they had a very narrow view of what admins/mods/users should be able to do.

You're just a sig spammer, and the fact that within a few days of banning/warning you previously, you acquired another ~dozen accounts and continued posting the exact same way tells me all I need to know.

You will not be unbanned.



 

I banned your primary account, knowhow for 2 weeks, and permabanned all your other accounts. I don't want to stop you from participating on this forum entirely (well in general), just to stop the spamming. It's a warning, take it or leave it.

No your other accounts won't be unbanned. 

That's pretty funny. Flashbacks.

Yeah, he's still banned. He had a very bad tendency to derail topics, he refused to keep it to his own topics.

That's fine, but the rules still apply. You should take a breather, get with Hostfat and make more of an effort.

Try not to look at it that way. Look at it like "This is a red flag, you guys should check it out". If I saw that post I wouldn't ban him immediately, but I certainly would take a closer look. That's what reports are for. 

One had 5 accounts, the other 19, all with similar posting styles. Spammers indeed.

If you need a specific rule to tell you not to post that way, then you aren't wanted here. And by you, I mean you. Not just one specific account, and yes I banned your other account too.

Haven't read most of this thread, but yes I recovered the account ~ Feb 5th. I'm still fairly certain it was the real IronMarvel.

I don't know for a fact what happened after that, but as far as I know what QS said is correct.

That was referencing people who make posts saying check out my ref link guys, it's in my sig since I'm not supposed to post it.

I don't care if it's there, but don't make dumb posts like that.

I don't think that's him. It's more likely the guy that was spamming his address and complaining about getting ripped off by whatever mining company.

Even if it were, it wouldn't matter. If it's not one person spamming it'll be another.

Life goes on. Can't imagine one is okay with wasting so much of their time, life is too short, but everyone values their time differently I guess.

The root of the problem is our election process. It inevitably leads to a 2 party system. The fact that neither party truly represents a majority, is a large part of the reason why so many people are disinterested in politics.

I don't support either party, they're both terrible.

The constitution is a set of rules for the government to live by, and a statement of American values. If we allow our government to pick and choose who to apply the values and standards to, then better hope your group isn't next.

The constitution clearly specifies persons and citizens at different points.

I'm not in charge of that but...it can, yes. I do know theymos has said he doesn't want it to turn into a competition, but it's a balancing act.

I wasn't planning on adding any, just a general observation regarding what to do about them. It'll stop eventually. If not, well it's increasing mod payments, and patrollers are fairly low risk to add compared to moderators, they can only act on newbies and the actions can be easily reversed.

Can't please everyone, so someone is always going to be mad.


Sure, it's a blast. Easy to pick up and start, but difficult to master, has a high skill ceiling with stuff not really shown in most trailers, like aerials and wall action (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSjQ_9rXutg). Has a matchmaking system with ratings so you get paired up with people around your skill level generally. Compared to something like say, Starcraft 2. SC2 is considered to have a high skill ceiling, but it's artificially inflated by forcing people to do micromanagement activities like injecting larvae, managing hatchlings, things like that (APM, or actions per minute). It just ends up being frantic and kind of a drag, and makes it more difficult to focus on the fun part, the strategy.

I don't play games all that much anymore, and usually just on weekends, but when I do I play with friends so we play competitive multiplayer type stuff like Rocket League, or Heroes of the Storm. Sometimes TF2.

It's probably not very feasible to lower it for one specific person. For an entire rank would be easier, but it'd probably be better to add more patrollers.

What can I say, I like changing things up. If it were possible I probably would have changed accounts here many times by now, like I do with pretty much every other account, other forums, email, reddit, whatever. I don't like knowing that one account found could lead to a wealth of information going back many years. So I change my avatar instead and pretend it means something. At least I don't change my name.
