Title: A Reminder...
Post by: Arnox on September 02, 2014, 11:11:19 pm
I notice some have been... taking advantage of our font size options.

Now people, I know it's tempting to blow your font up to 50pt but please don't. It looks incredibly annoying and you know better than that.

If people keeping abusing the font size, it's going to be taken away. Just letting you guys know now. Cut the crap.

Honestly you should probably just get rid of them now, they're only going to be abused lol. I actually thought constantinople might have been using the annoying big green text in order to force you to stop it so we don't have to deal with it in the future.

As I have suggested twice now without receiving any sort of official response to yet, you should just disable them altogether. Don't allow animated signatures, install the picture  thumbnail plugin, install zoklet's emoticons, and that would be pretty nice.

Yeah, that's why I was doing it.



Seriously though, Panthrax is probably right. Best to remove this stuff before we abuse it. Because we will abuse it.

Fun is up guys.

Arnox, I'm going to start infracting people for this going forward.  This thread is fair warning enough for all.

A little advice, feel free to take it or not, is that a moderators greatest tool is their words. Try talking with users before you start handing on infractions and stuff or you'll alienate the community.

I appreciate the advice.  I have been moderating with my words for the most part for the last 5 and a half years.  But when people blatantly do what is requested not to be done in the thread that is requesting for such action to cease, then further action has to be taken.

But I do appreciate your feedback.  I always welcome it.

As I have suggested twice now without receiving any sort of official response to yet,

ELL OH FUCKIN ELL @ YOU of all people getting all pissy because you haven't gotten an official response for a simple request. This coming from the champion duck and diver that would either do nothing at all, or just foist Pscyhomanthis on the community because you couldn't get off your lofty perch in the ivory tower to mingle with the regulars. You AVOIDED more requests than you ever responded to, yet now you feign this stance. Gimme a fuckin break.

And quit making so many suggestions as if you "know" what makes a community work. You and your regime were the final nail in the coffin of Zoklet's deathspiral. If anything, the current admins should do the "Constanza Rule" with anything you come up with. Do the opposite, and it will probably succeed.

Get off your high horse and just go and post already, your "suggestions" and the tone behind them is completely laughable if not nauseating.

Or how about how you moderate just give out IP addresses of users you don't like.

Look if this font is STILL to excessive I will go back to using regular, vanilla font, but I reduced the size from far from the maximum. I don't think it is too much to ask that I be allowed to still use whatever font type and color I would like though.

My brashness was in response to bling bling.  Not the first post of his that I left,  but the one that I edited.  It's just like shoving your hand in the lion cage when you have to move the sign that says not to feed the animals in order to do it.

You are all are mostly mature enough to handle yourselves, so I don't get involved too often.  Just use your best judgment and we'll all be gravy.

Well, as I said, I was just gonna remove it altogether if it got to be too ridiculous but I guess that will work too. :P

You can resize the font. Just make it reasonable is what we're saying.

Do this and listen to your user base and you will capitalize on Zok's mistakes and misfortunes. Do it not and you will suffer the same fate as all the other &T "sanctuaries". While it may pain some of you to admit it, SpectraL has been right about many things, even if is approach is foolish.

  • Don't give this user base features that can be abused.
  • Don't infract people for off topic just make one trash thread for the whole board and instruct your staff to do their job by simply moving garbage posts to the garbage.
  • You only need 3 rules, no CP, no PI, and no admitting to/planning unlawful activities.

There is a reason why Totse and Zoklet didn't have font size options.  I'd just get rid of it, no need to infract people.

As usual you are  wrong. Also if you are going to mod you should learn to quote, type, and spell.

Perhaps you should scroll up, locate the original error, and then wipe the chicken embyro from your chin.
