Dman979 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 No, a random images thread would not be fine for the forums no matter its size. The rules about chat and nonsense threads apply to the entire forums: The Lounge, Forum Games, KSP Discussion; you get the point. The announcement about them is located in The Lounge because that's where those threads tend to pop up, but they require too much moderator intervention no matter where they are posted.

AlamoVampire Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 @Stormpilot if i had to guess id say the “what did you do in ksp today” thread. Over 2000 pages and nearly 60k replies. But thats just a guess on my part. But thats just a guess from a regular member 141507242021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Fluffy Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What does the star mean next to a thread? For example, in the KSP 2 suggestions area, Exoplanet ideas and KSP 2 ideas that don’t merit their own thread are starred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The blue star instead of the dot? Is a thread you have posted in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 There is also another kind of star when a member of staff or a moderator has highlighted a certain thread, but I think the one you are referring to, @Admiral Fluffy, is as explained by @Vanamonde.

However it was shut down on June 24th 2021 due to KSP content being posted there multiple times (not allowed in the lounge). It also demonstrated the need for one of the forum games rules stating that nonsense threads were not allowed.

Dman979 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure that threads which ended up locked for ignoring repeated warnings are the type of things you want to celebrate. There's plenty of other fun threads that aren't locked. Also, Rule 3.3 is a thing, too. Edited August 6, 2021 by Dman979 Added clarity.

kerbiloid Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The megathread is a 106thread. They killed it from fear of a probable AI birth in the primordial chaos of repeatable chunks of nonsense. As this bodyless monster would be organically equipped with rocket design, heavy crane, and naive style art capabilities, this frightened them with unpredictable consequences.

YNM Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I've recently often been blocked off by cloudflare from being able to access this forum after being logged in. Granted I do usually access the forum while trying to write a post on a different thread in a different tab (sometimes a few different tabs and sometimes some would be in incognito ie. logged off while some is logged in), so I could understand why cloudflare might have problems with it, and I know very well that this region's IP isn't exactly the cleanest there is, but... is there a way to make it not that strict ? Quite a few times I've had to abandon trying to write a post because cloudflare blocks lasts pretty darn long. If anyone could shed a light on this phenomenon I'd be very happy to know what could've caused it. Edited August 6, 2021 by YNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dientus Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I understand the limit to the number of likes given, I also understand that each like given takes time to 'reset'. I am on mobile. Is there a way to see how many likes you have available to give at any given time? A counter of sorts? If not, could it be added? If this was answered, my apologies. Unless it's buried deep in a thread, I didn't see anything about the likes being displayed or how to find out the number you have available.

Dman979 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm not sure there is a good way to see how many you have available at any given time or how long until the next one becomes available. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatastrophicFailure Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 @YNMMaybe it’s time for a VPN? I usually have half a dozen or more forum tabs open and have never had an issue, if it is your IP that’s the root cause, a VPN might let you get around that.

Yeah it might be that. Or might also be the browser itself (I've laid out about how the embed function fails in Mozilla Firefox on Windows). Haven't got any fails here in Mozilla Firefox on Kubuntu but I haven't tried doing that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start with a "pool" of 25 reputation to give away. Each reputation takes 24 hours to recharge, and you can't ever have more than 25 reputation in the pool. When you give rep #1 away, it starts its own countdown timer until you're able to give it away again. If I give away 1 reputation at 00:21 (Day One) and the remaining reputation at 23:59 Day One), I will need to wait 22 minutes until I have 1 rep in the pool to give away. Once I give that one away, I will need to wait until 23:59 (Day Two) until I can give more away, because the other 24 reputation need to recharge.
