Does this game kinda kick ass or what ? Found my new gaming addiction, finally getting me to stop playing Diablo 3.
Loving the depth of the various characters. Very well designed game, and love that the matches are shorter than DOTA2 rounds.

Other / Meta / BCT Emergency Response Mechanisms ?

on: August 10, 2015, 12:33:47 AM

With malware getting spammed lately, it's not unsurprising to hear that some unfortunate folks have been exploited.
Understanding that moderators are not constantly watching these forums, and able to quickly response to "emergencies", is there some mailing list the administration might consider setting up for trusted forums users, with the aim to mitigate the spread of any malware ?
It could be set up with strict rules such as "Contact this email address frivolously and you're going to get a temp ban", and additionally secured with white-listed addresses.
Food for thought.

Full disclosure: Voted "Just the center piece/controller/ 2550gh/1150watts", but I wonder how the noise is like on these things.
If (dare-to-dream) these are as quiet as the S2's or S3's, I would be awfully tempted in picking up a bunch to replace all my underclocked-S3's, S5's and SP20's.

unfortunately if I know josh he will throw the others under the bus and walk away claiming 'employee status minion only' for any damning inside testimony hey it is what he does and he does it well .....scumbag extraordinaire
Oh, I can totally see him singing like a canary. I mean, we're dealing with the vilest of dishonest sub-human scum here after all, with ole' Joshie-poo. Either way, I imagine his professional life is likely over - There's no way he's walking away from this not looking disgraced under cross examination. I wonder if he ever got therapy for his various... issues.

I have to wait until the Oculus Rift is fully supported, which it is not at the moment ( I think).
Out of curiosity, are you a developer, or a gamer waiting for an updated Runtime ?

Legendary members should get automatic default trust capabilites, after a member becomes legendary, their post history and trust ratings should be screened, if everything looks good, they should automatically added to default trust. what do you guys think?
This is a horrible idea. No sarcasm. Default Trust should be organically and meticulously curated based on merit IMO.

You could always try ignoring them. Too many people focus on the trolls and the negativity.
True. Ignore is always an option that one can use as a last resort. To turn a phrase from SaltySpitoon, "If you are trying to learn about Bitcoin as a genuine newbie, wading through trolling and shitposting can do enough to convince you it's not worth looking into."EDIT: As part of an "experiment", I've nuked my personal, curated Trust List, and am currently using Default Trust, along with "The List" added to my Ignore settings. Thanks !
