RayneCloud Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Or why do I get moderated?1. We're using a plug in called "Spam-o-matic" that has been set to scan any and all new user registrations and accounts upon creation, and temporarily after registration.2. Usergroup promotions is a system that automatically moves a user from one usergroup to another when certain conditions have been met. This is to make sure that anything that manages to get past spam-o-matic gets' caught by our moderation team.All new users are vetted via spam-o-matic, then are set into "Curious George" user group which is moderated and has less permissions for you first 3 posts. Once you've made 4 posts (it used to be more we lowered it) and we've made sure there's no other issues, the system automatically moves you into a trusted usergroup with more permissions and you're all set.-DR KSP CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenbagis Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Does this explain why when I click on aLeXmOrA's post "KSP Forums and SpacePort are back..." on the right side of the main forum page, I get this message:thenbagis, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

RayneCloud Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 No, that was a mix up with a new user group setting not being correct, my bad. Should be able to see it now. -DR KSP CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeposter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Ehmm...Did you delete Media Group forum? I can't see it and when I'm going through link it shows me notification:"Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"Edit: Also I saw, that I have lost my avatar, signature and all posts. What happened? I wasn't here for few weeks.

VVP Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 All new users are vetted via spam-o-matic, then are set into "Curious George" user group which is moderated and has less permissions for you first 3 posts.Don't you think it's not really fair to the forum members whose accounts have been lost as a result of the recent forum crash?

KasperVld Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The measure is in place to prevent spambots from colonizing these forums and you having to browse through tonnes of useless threads. It's just three (or four) posts and after that you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquid Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Don't you think it's not really fair to the forum members whose accounts have been lost as a result of the recent forum crash?Don't worry, you were never going to be recognised on the street and showered with hot girls as a result of your rank on the KSP forums... just sayin'!

EricKilla Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 This leaves me wondering as to how much of a pain it is to go through all those messages and approve them. How many people do you have approving this stuff? It sounds like a full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatm0n Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ah, this probably explains why I can't edit my avatar. I guess I should get to work on posting a couple more times then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorisBadinoff Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Google flags the main site kerbalspaceprogram.com for security certificate issues. This will be fixed I presume ...kerbalspaceport.com has add-ons that require you to go to another site to get the extra files you need. i find this to be a security risk. Are file add-ons vetted to insure user security?The emotes are cool btw ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulikoehler Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I don't encounter this issue, going tohttps://kerbalspaceprogram.com/with Chrome on Ubuntu x86_64 (direct URL entered) doesn't show the 'usual' SSL certificate error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
