03/21/17 - Forums Update Feedback/Bugs

[Tay]

Unfortunately, my forum maintenance appears to have worked and everything is working. Please let me know if you run into bugs (because, frankly, there WILL be bugs).

Rough Change log:

• Spam is dead? I think I fixed everything that was allowing for spammers to get in. Please keep an eye out, and ping me on SKYPE if things don't get better. This is a crazy week for me, and Skype will be the most reliable way to get me until Sunday when my exams end.
• A new moderator setting to restrict users from ignoring moderators.
• Thoughtcrimes detected and purged
• A new group setting to allow members to lock their own content.
• A new group setting to hide a group from filters in search.
• A secret group headed by you-know-who dedicated to hating on kittens and puppies was found and destroyed
• When moving content moderators are now prompted for where you want to be redirected after the action.
• Activity Streams can be created with condensed view as default.
• All users are equal, but some are now more equal than others.
• An email is now sent when an account is locked for too many bad login attempts.
• Rooke deleted. Again.

Feedback is also appreciated, as always.

Anyway, good job on not blowing up the forums. Almost had time to riot this time.

Going to do some theme updates this coming weekend, but didn't have time today. The spam issue took too long. Please ping me on Skype if spam doesn't improve.

The Animal Farm reference makes me want to like the post twice

I lost my likes in the deletion of the warning thread. As such, I cannot like your post. Sorry for your loss, Tay.

Does one of your exams involve scholarly analysis of Orwell's works, by any chance?

I spend all my day way from the internet and loose some kind of joke? Oh well.

Btw, what is that "group" thing? And why was it a problem?

"A joke"' huh. There's a fine way to describe these periodic events.

At least there's no rollback, though I must say that I understand the reason behind the update though (Yesterday the spam thread was almost took two pages of introduction section).

[Shikomizue]

I found a bug, it's a real big problem actually, I'm surprised you missed it.

 

SQUISH

 

Fixed it, no need to panic.

@Tay You could still fix the chat, you know... While you're at it.

Yes, it would be nice if you guys would get a bit of fixing on it, my favourite part is when a person joins, it displays it a hundred times so i have to scroll for an hour to find another person.

[#YOLOGNAISWAGETTI]

Altho i have already wanted to ask a question, can we get a feature to change our names in the forums?

At least the name displayed, not the login name.

(Since i would be hanged and burned publicly if oneh of my friends saw my profile from one years ago, this yolo and swag is out of date, would like to change it to something more dank.)
