Mad Rocket Scientist Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 why cant i post attachments?I'm not a mod, but, as far as I know, it was disabled because of security reasons.Three questions:I have 225 subscribed threads, am I insane?How come I never see a spambot post?What does the forum "tree" look like to mods? As in, what special forums do mods have access to?Thanks for answering my questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 To answer (even though I'm not a mod )Yes.Because the mods here are wonderful. See some of the first posts here for a spambot post.IDK.Your welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I'm not a mod, but, as far as I know, it was disabled because of security reasons.Three questions:I have 225 subscribed threads, am I insane?How come I never see a spambot post?What does the forum "tree" look like to mods? As in, what special forums do mods have access to?Thanks for answering my questions!225 subscribed threads? You're in the clear, a certain piece of ferrous headgear has ten times that number last I heard from it.Spambot posts are frequent (ish). We have a tool that if you go back several pages you can see in one of technicalfool's screenshots - it is called the Spam-O-Matic and is very efficient at dealing with spambots (who we see because new users must have their posts approved by a moderator). Let it suffice to say that should the Spam-O-Matic be turned on you, you would cease to exist.There are several 'secret' sections of the forum, quite a few of which are archive forums from before vBulletin was a thing. The others I am not quite at liberty to talk about, I think, but there are sections for the various Squad types, streamers, experimentals testers, et cetera. If you want to unnerve KasperVld ask him about '67' or 'ireland'. You did not hear this from me. EDIT : If he tells you, please share it with me. I'm curious too.

DuoDex Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 why are attachment a security thingyI'm not too clear on this either, I believe it is something to do with the possibility of malicious files being freely embedded into the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rocket Scientist Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 As to Ireland, all I could find in a search for "Ireland" was this:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/104538-A-new-Easter-Egg%21?highlight=irelandI will PM KasperVld as to "Ireland" and "67". I doubt I will get a answer, if you couldn't get an answer, I probably won't be able to. I will not mention your name, if you don't want me to. Also, take a look at my location. - - - Updated - - -Why does the PM system require a 60 second delay between PMs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Why does the PM system require a 60 second delay between PMs?Spam protection, PM's are called "private" for a reason, even moderators can't view them and tell whether the sender needs the banhammer for spam.

Red Iron Crown Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Spam protection, PM's are called "private" for a reason, even moderators can't view them and tell whether the sender needs the banhammer for spam.With the exception of when the "Report Post" button is used on a PM, then it becomes visible to us and can be moderated.Be nice to each other in PMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernovy Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 As far as I know, attachments have just been broken since the switch from the old forum (SMF, I think) to this one (vB4). I know for sure that attachments ported from the old forum to this one broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanadams Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 mods why cant you have a gif in your profile picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 A better question IMO is why we permit gifs for avatars and in signatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Er, maybe that came off a bit harsh. It would be my personal preference that people don't use animated gifs for avatars or sigs, but it's hardly a forum rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuoDex Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 no it was annyoing and bugging alot of people so i took it off- - - Updated - - -but why can mds have a gif profile picture and user cant?I think that may be the larger size mods are allowed to have for their avatar, we technically have no limits but try to keep it within 180x180 so as to cause less gore (I think tetryds once nearly caused a forum crash with a 1920x1080 avatar). Everyone can have a .gif avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endersmens Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Quick question: is there any way to see how much time a user has spent on the forums total ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Aside from comparing the join date to the current date, not really.You can't see the amount of hours/minutes/seconds someone has been online in total, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zucal Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Can you see things like what a user rates a thread as?Secondly, can moderators see whether someone is online if they use invisible mode?Those two questions sound really suspicious, sorry!
