Spricigo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 What is the average "serving time" of a moderator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hard to say. We've had a couple of people quit after a few days, but some of us are going on 5 years. Two guys left, then came back, and one of them left again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbinchaser Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) So... I was trying to type the word [Profanity skirting redacted by moderator], to explain a point, (NOT GETTING PLOITICAL) And it came up as "pedant" Is this how blacklisted words are handled? :S Edited February 14, 2018 by Snark Look, if it filters out the word, it means the word isn't supposed to be in the forum. Please don't work around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is exactly how it's handled. Each of those words that have been deemed as "nonexistent" within our happy little forum community have other words which replace them. My favorite is when I read, " I am really liquided off at so and so..." Yeah, it makes it more lighthearted than anything else. Even with historical terms, such as the one you were using to represent the sociopolitical situation of World War II Germany. Back when I first joined the forum, it was explained to me by @Red Iron Crown (and yes, I know he is no longer active but is surely missed) the reason is that certain historical terms have also become quite abused by contemporary society. And when it is not referred to the historical term, most folk use it for shock value or as a way to shut up those who they disagree with. And to be honest, I agree with that sentiment. That era of human history needs to be studied and remembered, but never bantered around until we forget what happened. Now I have completely forgotten the question I was going to ask...

Spricigo Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 About the blacklist. Is a thread to make fun of the backlist ok? Yes, I know that the fact I feel the need to ask is an strong indicative that the answer is probably NO! OTOH not asking make that the only possible answer.

It's there for a reason. If the forum doesn't like you using a word, then don't use the word, okay? We have a rule against profanity skirting. Don't do it, please. 3 hours ago, Spricigo said: About the blacklist. Is a thread to make fun of the backlist ok? Yes, I know that the fact I feel the need to ask is an strong indicative that the answer is probably NO! Looks like you answered your own question. The main issue with starting such a thread is not so much that it's a priori horrible, but more that it's practically guaranteed to go off the rails quickly and repeatedly, and is just encouraging people to work around the filter, and will almost certainly end up needing to get locked in short order. Generating a bunch of pointless scut-work for the moderators along the way... who, I need not remind you, are unpaid volunteers who are putting in our time to try to keep these forums running for all you fine people. So, please, don't go trying to make our lives more difficult just for your own amusement, okay? Yes, it's a funny idea, but it would really be nice if we could just leave it at that. Thank you.

Vanamonde Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 References to the government of Germany 1937-1945 are banned on this forum because: the genocidal racism of those times is still an open wound for many people the movement is (disgustingly) not entirely dead in several countries as of 2018, and therefore falls under our ban on politics there was a period when a small group of particularly troublesome forum members would insert references to and the symbols of that movement into unrelated posts on the forum, resulting in arguments, warns, and outright bans. It was, in short, no end of serious trouble. And so that ban is not going to be lifted. Now, guys, we really need to move on because discussions about the stuff that can't be discussed on the are, obviously, not going to go well. Any further concerns should be raised with moderators through PMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piatzin Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, DAL59 said: How many users with more than 50 posts have visited within the last year? I can check... EDIT: Didn't find exactly what you were asking for, but.... We've had about 1380 new users since the first of January. Of those, only four have more than 50 posts. No joke. 36 of those have at least 10 posts, and only a little over 200 have at least one post. (The page kept resetting after a few pages though, so I can't guarantee that the number 200 is completely accurate ) EDIT 2: My estimate was way off It's not 200, but actually 564 members with at least one post.

Just Jim Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) OK. I have a question... My last Emiko Station chapter was pretty huge, aprox. 9,500 words, and somewhere around 300 screenshots total. Now that one was a bit of an exception, and I don't plan on making all of them that big... But it got me thinking. Just how big is too big for one post, as far as number of screenshots and all that?
