Red Iron Crown Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 how in the world do you make polls because i looked at the bb code thing and it shows nothingIt's not done with bbcode, it's done when making a thread, there's an option to "Add poll" when making one that will bring you to the poll-making page.

Specialist290 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 What does a troll's post usually look like?Like this......Thus demonstrating that the worst trolls on a forum get punished with bans, while the best trolls get punished by being forced to deal with the worst trolls all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Why do some people have large avatars? Do you have to be a moderator to have a large avatar?

Supernovy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ascensiam is a former moderator. Former moderators are under the same limits as normal users, but if they don't change their avatar, it won't change size to fit the smaller limit.Steve5451 doesn't seem to have a larger than usual avatar.Very old threads were, I believe, ported over from the SMF KSP forum, which did not have reputation like vB has.

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 His avatar seems to be appropriately sized. You might be confusing profile picture and avatar.Interesting, I'm talking about this: It seems to be a bit larger in this post, but as his avatar, it seems to be bigger than 64 by 64 pixels in length. But maybe it's just because that it's a gif. Anyway, thanks for answering my questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dres Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Do very old threads autolock? I've noticed that most forums with posts pre 2012 have their entire back pages (and several before that) locked, excluding fanwork forums like the fanworks forum (Oh my, that sounded so much more stupid than in my head) and the Spacecraft exchange. Is it like per-forum auto-locking feature to prevent super necros? What if one of those topics somehow becomes relevent again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect someone went through and got a little trigger happy with the thread keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozak Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm confused.....about something entirely different than what y'all are talkin boutIf i've had my name changed, do i log in with my original name? or my new one? *mind 'splodes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Log in with your current name. It won't recognize the old one as valid. The Laythe Initiative: occasionally we do some pruning and move very old threads to an "archive" status. That might be what you're seeing.

Windspren Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Disclaimer: Some questions may not be answerable, for various reasons.The word of the thread is: Automagically.Mods-How often are you called upon to examine the post of a Curious George, only to have it be a spambot?Can you show us an example of what their messages look like?Are the majority of the users on the forum humans? About how many unique users are active on the forum per month?What do you do with a spambot?About how many people join the forums per day?Everyone else-Have you ever wondered about this, or is it just me?What is a Curious George? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Curious Georges are people who have just made an account on the forums and haven't made three moderator-approved posts yet. They don't have certain abilities, such as the giving of rep or the changing of avatars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspren Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Oh, I was just wondering because in the name-change thread, I wanted to change my name to "Laythe", but an inactive user already has it. His description thingy under his name says "Curious George" so I was just wondering if there was a connection. He was last active in 2013 and has 0 posts, so the name fits him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hmmmm. So I just saw two users with white rep. What is up with that? It had their name instead of a comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon0009 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Can mods check which other mod locked a thread on a locked thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes.Generally the mod in question posts, or if they don't want to necro post, edits the OP. When that doesn't happen, we can check who did what to the thread by hitting "edit thread" under the special moderator-only options, which has a log of everything moderator-related that happened in the thread including approving moderation queue posts.
