  1. @widget Yo, we have a spammer alert on the RP site.

    1. @dlcentaur Congratulations on your new promotion. I figure, if you're gonna own the thing anyway, you might as well be at least a mod.

      1. @ceruleanspark I was honestly wondering why he was not.

        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:29:22 UTC from web
      2. @ceruleanspark Thanks! :D Now, I've never actually asked this. Should I delete the Spammers, or merely silence them?

        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:30:46 UTC from web
        1. @dlcentaur On main we usually delete them outright, so.

          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:31:33 UTC from web
        2. @dlcentaur The way it works best is to silence them and delete their posts. It's best to silence because deleting the users removes the IP from the list of banned ones, so they can just come right back.

          1. @ceruleanspark @minti Alrighty! Thanks again. o3o

            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:34:03 UTC from web
        3. @dlcentaur Silence and delete all their posts. It hogs up the DB but it adds their IP to he RegisterThrottle banlist and removes their ability to reregister with a new spammer account.

          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:32:08 UTC from web
          1. @minti Although I'm unsure of silence then delete would have the same effect. Hm. I should try that.

            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:32:49 UTC from web
            1. @minti Oh wait it uses the account reference. Yeah you can't delete it if you want RegisterThrottle to kick in. :/

              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:33:20 UTC from web
              1. @minti What we need is a plugin to specifically allow IP bans to be set, instead of the solution RegisterThrottle uses. :T

                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:34:56 UTC from web
                1. @redenchilada It's actually been on my todo list to code one since forever, mainly cause it only tracks the IP they registered with. If they have a dynamic IP and it swaps between the time they register and the time we ban them, they can just make a new account.

                  Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:35:53 UTC from web
                2. @redenchilada Well get on with it then, peasant.

                  Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:35:58 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                  1. @ceruleanspark Man, you REALLY don't want me coding anything that will be deployed on the site. Have you SEEN my attempts to code things?

                    Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:43:02 UTC from web
                    1. @redenchilada ... especially in PHP

                      Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:43:35 UTC from web
                  2. @ceruleanspark @minti @redenchilada Now, here is a question. Should our new site provide a link to this one?

                    Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:55:22 UTC from web
                    1. @dlcentaur It's up to you guys, really.

                      Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:56:32 UTC from web
                      1. @redenchilada I mean, I really enjoy hanging out here, but I don't think many RP users would share my sentiments. xD

                        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:58:31 UTC from web
                        1. @dlcentaur We all know RP users love hanging out with Carcino, come on man.

                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:59:20 UTC from web
                          1. @anarchycarcino Totally bro! I mean, seriously! Who could ever dislike /you/?!

                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:02:09 UTC from web
                            1. @dlcentaur Beats me!

                              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:02:31 UTC from web
                            2. @dlcentaur Y u no work D:<

                              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:02:35 UTC from web
                        2. @dlcentaur link it and see how long it takes them to notice

                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 10:59:58 UTC from web
                          1. @redenchilada BRILLIANT!

                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:01:20 UTC from web
                        3. @dlcentaur By the way, once we've got rdnshiny in a more finalized state, would you guys like a version to modify and use for your site?

                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:01:25 UTC from web
                          1. @redenchilada Sure! I think that would be an excellent idea. :3

                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:03:24 UTC from web
                            1. @dlcentaur I'll remember to send the files you're way once we've set it up, then!

                              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:04:07 UTC from web
                              1. @redenchilada Awesome! :D

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:04:35 UTC from web
                              2. @redenchilada s/you're/your I hate myself every time I mix those two up.

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:06:08 UTC from web
                    2. @dlcentaur Links should probably go both ways. Then nobody can claim it's unfair or anything like that.

                      Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:04:30 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                      1. @ceruleanspark They'll claim it is anyway

                        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:05:37 UTC from web
                        1. @dlcentaur Inevitably. We've sinned now, so regardless of how we act from here onwards, we're going to be tainted in their eyes.

                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:07:13 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                          1. @ceruleanspark Unfortunately, there is a good deal of truth in that. Not all of the users dislike main, but a good deal of the most frequent users and Mods do. :/

                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:09:27 UTC from web
                            1. @dlcentaur I wonder if that one guy is still mad at me for banning him

                              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:11:26 UTC from web
                              1. @redenchilada I have not a clue about whom you are talking. xD

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:12:36 UTC from web
                                1. @dlcentaur lelouch, I think?

                                  Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:13:24 UTC from web
                                  1. @redenchilada Wait, what exactly happened? And where? o.o

                                    Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:15:30 UTC from web
                                    1. @dlcentaur It was some really stupid argument between some users on main and RP (I think it started with thatonepony and moonprincess?) that eventually got a lot of people who normally stuck to RP coming over here to argue. Lelouch (or whoever he was) kept yelling at other users, shouting "butthurt" and such over and over, and after one too many warnings I straight up just silenced the guy. But then he registered a new account to tell me how horrible and biased of a mod I was or something, and ban evasion results in a permanent suspension, so. (I think you can tell by my change in tone over the course of this notice how I feel about the whole thing)

                                      Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:19:27 UTC from web
                                      1. @redenchilada Wayyyyy before that sparky, I remember Celestia going over to the RP and killing everyone.

                                        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:20:57 UTC from web
                                        1. @anarchycarcino I was referring to the thing with the guy, not when it actually started.

                                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:21:41 UTC from web
                                          1. @redenchilada Right. Carry on.

                                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:22:19 UTC from web
                                      2. @redenchilada Huh... I've seen him say that "Butthurt" stuff, but I never knew him to be so rude wen conversing with a Mod. :/

                                        Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:24:14 UTC from web
                                        1. @dlcentaur He was saying it to other people. It was just that he didn't listen when I told him to stop. I wouldn't have been angry about the whole thing except that he decided it was because I'm apparently a biased mod. (Which I won't confirm or deny, but it was unrelated to that particular action.)

                                          Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:26:49 UTC from web
                                          1. @redenchilada Right, I completely understand. (I don't think you're biased!)

                                            Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:28:56 UTC from web
                              2. @redenchilada I was going to unban derps but because of his name-changing-stupidity I can't actually find his account to undo it. He's kind of screwed himself over there.

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:13:36 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                                1. @ceruleanspark He's gonna be unbanned tomorrow, three days and all.

                                  Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:15:00 UTC from web
                            2. @dlcentaur Yeah and it goes back so far I don't even know who or what started it.

                              Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:12:46 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
                              1. @ceruleanspark Carcino, that's probably most of the reason.

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:13:51 UTC from web
                                1. @anarchycarcino At least, that's what they'll tell you. Being so bitter and all.

                                  Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:14:30 UTC from web
                              2. @ceruleanspark I think it all really began with Cabal. He hated them, and they hated him. Things merely carried on from there

                                Thursday, 18-Oct-12 11:14:44 UTC from web
        4. @dlcentaur congrats on Le promotion! ^_^
