List of things these forums need

The thing I like is that you can set privacy levels on your profiles that prevent certain people from veiwing certain things.

In this case...

Everyone who has been mean to me is on the ignore list.

 

I guess you won't be seeing any posts on this forum ever.

You can still view thier posts...

But I have a small exception to those who are red...

 

Lol multiple accounts?

Again there has never been and there still isn't a rule about multiple accounts not being allowed.

And I admitted it was my account, I also admitted I grave digged a bunch of topics. You make me out to be some type of person who slaps a bee's nest and then doesn't admit to doing it, and I can't remember a time where I broke out all hell on the forum and then said I didn't do it like you think I have done so many times.

 

Yeah I worded that incorrectly, I apologise. It's not that you don't admit it, it's that you then deny having done wrong or even having acted rashly.

Again, I am entirely open to suggestions about who else could have done this when none of the active administrators did.

 

I need more rep points cos im special and shit, not just in the head that is.

Red Devil?
You know, the guy who hacked the MG forums a while back?

Um, no. These guys vandalize a website and happily forget about it, they don't fuck around with forum settings. In that way, it could've been a completely random somebody who got inside the system and did what he wanted.

 

Lighten the mood

Hmmm...
What if there is a hacker, and he did this to toy with our minds and create strife?
No one would think he'd do something so seemingly small and harmless....
Genius o.o;
[/Nonsense]

 

You know, if it helps at all, the same thing that happened to Meta happened to me.

You're saying you don't have a long list of +rep in your user CP, but instead it's just all of a sudden there?
Hm. We need to get blue's clues or something in here to solve this mystery.

 

I dont really pay much attention to it, i have given rep power to people. but one moment i have loads next moment i have zero :s
Something needs to be done
need to look at users Traces and footsteps on the site

 

Wasn't Red Devil just a program that would hack low-security websites so they'd turn them up?

 

Argh this is so confusing

 

It's recorded in the CP, but there's no comment, they were all added within a time frame of 2 minutes, and they all appear to be connected to random posts, such as one of my posts in the famous "Chaco Thread"

As I said the only usergroup that can do that are Administrators, everyone else has a limit.

And as for who else could have turned it on (while I am not saying it's him) is Shirofan.

 

Well I do know how to turn this on and off; however I haven't touched the settings for some time.

I have disabled it now, I think. If it is still showing can people let me know.

As for who did this: I don't think it was anyone because it wouldn't be the first time that a random setting has reverted to the default. It seems to be when vBulletin updates the admin console with details of a new version available that some things tend to go wrong.

Is anything else working that shouldn't, or not working that should?

 

THANK YOU.

I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary, although I'm not that familiar with the forum's inner workings.

So then, forum magic. Wonderful.

My head hurts -_-

 

I love you shiro, may all my past insults be blown away in the winter winds.

 

So then, forum magic. Wonderful.

I do.
I do.
I do believe in eFairies.


I still hold that this is the beginning of Skynet.
I mean, think about it: The way the random, insignificant change caused in-fighting.
Seems like the kind of strategy a clever machine inteligence would use.
[/nonsense]

Anyways, hooray for no rep system!
Thank you, Shiro, thank you.

Although...
Some kind of system for users to mark posts of value would be cool.
Like the rating system, but per-post.

 

infractions system?
explain.

 

Kind of like them recording your warnings. Everything you do wrong that they put in is worth so many points. Once your infractions get so high, it'll auto-ban you.

Now, over time, most infractions will wear off, and won't be worth points anymore, but serious infractions worth many points will either not wear off completely (still be worth SOME points, albeit lower), or even not at all.
