I moderated a little today.. oh no!
« on: July 06, 2010, 07:59:00 am »
Anyways.. this thread serves 2 purposes..

1. Letting you guys know that I removed 3 posts by the same user today. At first they seemed innocent enough, but after doing a little Sherlock Holmes I noticed that not only did this guy have unreasonably bad grammar (which was my first sign) but he registered 3 days ago and all 3 of his posts were over the course of 10 minutes. The posts basically reiterated what the person above him said (which was annoying) and then I noticed that his signature block was a link to some website that sold bags or something. So basically, it looked like a spammer that was just smart about spamming. If not... whatever, his posts added absolutely zero intellectual value to the threads so there really is no loss.

2. I don't know if this is by design or by sheer overlooking, but global moderator has no moderation ability at all. (erm.. I just found that I can in fact lock and move topics... silly me..) but there is no account moderation ability. In the event I find or see a spam account there isn't really much I can do except remove the posts. Which is fine by me, it would just be nice to be able to see IP addresses and such so that I can spot duplicate accounts or common IP ranges of spam accounts. Not necessarily necessary as you guys are usually more than on top of it.


Anyways... Few more weeks and I'll be back. I'm excited to get back into the swing of things. I miss all of it.

Did you get my report about the user? It would have been emailed to you.

Basically I thought the account was a little fishy too, but didn't have time to look into it this morning. Glad you were able to come to a conclusion about it.

I'll see about throwing more permission your way when I get home.

I did get the e-mail, but only after I deleted the threads and posted this one. It made me feel a little better to know that I wasn't the only one who thought so.

Yah, there was another user earlier who I think did the exact same thing.. I can't remember if I mentioned it or if anyone even caught it-- I'll go take a quick look.

meh, it'll do...

lol, just kidding. Even though it's just a few more permissions, I think this will be a lot better than simply deleting posts. Now I can see IP addresses :evil shifty eyes: and it'll be a lot easier to sort the legit retards from the no good spammers.

Thanks again for the trust. I know I'm not required to do ANYTHING like you guys said up front, but I feel like I am a long standing part of this community and I take pride in that. I will watch over this place just as I would my own... and with my own being dead and currently in like the 4th stage of rigor mortis that won't be too awfully hard. :)


edit: I'm pretty sure you guys wont regret this.... mwahahah hahahaha hahah ahaha *cough*

No.. I'm pretty sure that the reason my community is dead now is because I was the life of it... literally...

My admins were crappy. They couldn't do anything on their own. They were completely and utterly immature.. and it scared away any hope of gaining and maintaining any mature players. I only kept the one around because he could do clientside lua that I couldn't do. :)

So I'm pretty sure I told them that I was quitting GMod when I come back which is pretty much a lie. I plan on maybe waiting a bit on the server hosting part and focus more on coding to get myself back up to where I was then I'll come out with a few good gamemodes and servers.

G4P will rise again! IT HAS TO... It's all I have!!!  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I'll help you out with your server. I'm also interested in getting back into GMOD.
