Tired of seeing offtopic questions in the other topics in this forum, so if you have a question to ask of the administration, ask it here.

No guarantees on answers, but this is the best place to at least attempt to get your burning questions noticed.

Dear admin,

Whats the meaning of life?

Yours truely,

ReallyStupidStuff

Is there a chance that &Totse would go back to the old layout?

Can we have just one set of moderators for SG instead of the sadistic bunch who jump at the oppertunity to wreak havoc?

Thanks.

When will Jeff upgrade

I know Jeff is soon going to upgrade the BBS software. I am asking for an estimate on when we may expect it? Of course, it really isn't a big deal, I like the totse forums just as they are, but they do get buggy sometimes. Just wondering if we can get some insight to when it may be upgraded.

Hey, o' great admin.

Is there a chance that img tags will ever be enabled again for all of the non-spurious faggits?

Can this software let users send PM's to each other, if they wanted? if so, howcome its not used?

Can we close registration again? I'm tired of all these idiotic n00bs wanting to know if they can snort ibproufin and get high.

Maybe another change to the forums, in this case instead of IFIOTW, something just generally web related, sonce we do already have people asking for sites/links to things.

No, this version of UBB doesn't have a PM feature. Even if it did, it was just use up too much space to be worthwhile having (IMO).

There is probably a large support for this action, but you will have to appeal to Jeff as he gets the final say.

Hahaha, no they don't.

Question 1:

Shouldn't this be ask the MODERATOR.

Question 2:

Is there a way I can take the 1337ness outta my name and change it to Unified.( I tried once and fucked up, so now it says Unified is already taken but i didnt get the password cause i hit the back button.) And would there be a way to transfer the pst count and registration date to the new one, cause right now it says i dont exist.

Question 3:

Can you ban Hellboy, he register like 2 years ago, has 7 posts, all in IFIOTW and its all porn from the same site in the same format. No one else has noticed, but it pisses me off.

and...

Bring XIP back to IFIOTW, xenosss is good but doesn't pay to much attention, and I don't think i have ever seen SpaceFalcon2001 post in there.

And? Don't be such a douchebag, dude. This thread is kind of stuck at the top of this forum, and posts don't expire or anything like that, so whats it matter if they keep asking? The admin will see it eventually, and thats why they keep posting.

1.) What it should and shouldn't be is not up to you.

2.) You'll have to be real nice to one of the admins, otherwise it's impossible.

3.) No. Read the FAQ.

4.) This is a thread for answering questions, not asking for suggestions - keep on topic.

Good question NotOnlyButAlso.

In reply, we are given a relatively free rule over our respective forums, although we each have to abide by certain rules set down by the admins.

There have been some instances when other moderators have asked or suggested something for the forum and 99% of the time it all goes down to the benefit of the forum.

Nice idea, but it's not really practical and the change wouldn't be healthy for UBB.

On a side note - nice to see someone around who remembers that.

Firstly, to the guy who mention the moderators of THINKING forums. arx happens to be my comod for Printed Matter...which is in our opinion, the MOST intelligent forum on totse.

We also mod SG together and it takes more dedication than either of my other forums combined and multiplied by a number that isn't even fathomable.

Oh, while I'm on the subject, he spells it "arx" you moron, it's not capitalized, if he'd wanted it to be it would be.

Moderators are left to our own discretion on how we mod though other mods are of course welcome to suggest/critisize our methods, it doesn't mean we have to listen .

I think this thread is here for questions to be answered, and if a mod can answer them, why argue? Just deal with it.

SG is a tough forum to moderate. I did it for quite some time, and I can tell you that the worst thing about it is having to read every single stupid topic every single day. That's a lot of topics, and a lot of work. Currently, our way to deal with this is have mods on a short rotation, made up of volunteers from people already on the staff. Short rotation means that hopefully no one gets too burned out with all the crap they have to deal with.

Currently the only way is the adbrite banner system. As with everything else, donation schemes will happen when they happen.

From what I know of jeff, I think that paypal donations will happen shortly after the BBS upgrade, because I think he'd like to link usernames to donations..

It's possible to mod this version of UBB to allow it, however, with the number of users we have and the current state of this place, it's not something we've even remotely considered. Use email, that's what it's for.

Once upon a time, we left mods pretty much to their own devices. I recently came up with a more structured set of instructions on what we expect from moderators. We (the administration) also randomly keep an eye on forums and mods, just to make sure they're doing a good job. If we don't think they are, then we'd first talk to them about it, figure out what can be done, and if necessary, remove them.

1. Try using the 'reply' link at the top of the thread. Often adding a new reply will help regenerate the thread, just in case it got stuck last time someone posted. If it's still not working, link me here and I'll go take a look.

2. No, because that would be stupid, and no, because I don't even remember what date I removed them.. it was about two years ago now after all.

No, he didn't Haywood has had like five or six different ways of spelling Haywood since he's been on totse.

Don't be a douche.

-Val

Haywood re-registered as Heywood jablomi, he changed the a for an e. Zok was granting people favours and Haywood wanted his "a" back. So Zok changed it for him.

I was sick new years eve and I spent the entire night on totse, that why I remember.

He unbanned his old account.

I'm not lying, you're just stupid. We DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR NAME, YOUR EMAIL, OR YOUR PASSWORD for you.

That means you have to reregister if you want a new name, if you forget your password and lose access to the email account, or if you accidentally change the account to a non-valid email address.

Haywood has had multiple names, many of which have been banned. It's most likely that zok simply unbanned an old name, in fact it's the ONLY scenario which fits with what we have the power to do..

Ok, I won't continue to argue it.

Can you do one thing for me though? Seeing as I can't view my profile I asked Zok if he could tell me my registration date and post count, in that thread that he was granting favours in.

That was almost a year ago. If you could post that info up I would be very grateful.

The admin don't care about you? Individually, I doubt they do, but for the regulars as a whole, I couldn't believe anything besides the fact that they do. They wouldn't work so hard for TOTSE if they didn't care.

serious question. child porn has been raising its head on this forum, and seems to be more and more common. either in dedicated threads, misleading links or just randomly in sex-related threads. i know that freedom to post what you want is something near the foundation of totse, but i think the line has to be drawn somewhere.

this causes problem for the &totse team (legally, i know your not hosting or promoting, but no one wants this place to become synonomus with child porn) and for many users who really do not want to see that shit.

there are some things which i don't agree with that i am happy to be discussed in a theoretical nature, as within the ideals of this forum, but child pornography is not theoretical, it is the end result of the abuse of children (a few pictures and a real fucked up child), and should not be tolerated.

there are a few users who have joined with (it seems) the express purpose of posting/finding child pornography.

so, my question is, can some sort of policy be created so this shit can be eradicated?

I get annoyed when people call me a liar because, seriously, it's not even worth my time to lie on here. I don't even know if it was ME that banned him. What I do know, is that I ban people for breaking the rules.

Thus, you broke a rule and were banned. I can't remember each person I ban, nor why. It's not like you're special. I ban hundreds of people in a year and you expect me to remember why I banned someone oh, months ago?

[This message has been edited by Wintermute (edited 10-21-2005).]

It seems to me that the guy at least deserves an explanation as to why he was banned. I realize that the Admins have a heavy workload and all but they should at least be held acountable for their actions.

Enough with the ego trip. I DON"T FUCKING REMEMBER WHY YOU WERE BANNED. I DON'T CARE. And if you keep bugging me about it, I'll simply ban you again for evading an existing ban. And then you'll KNOW why you were banned this time.

Many of you seriously need to get raped in the ear with a frozen donkey turd, that's how fucking stupid and arrogant you are. The admins and moderators do their very best to keep this place running, and all you idiots do in return is whining and complaining about shit like being banned months ago, bitching about moderators in SG (originality galore!) and continiously asking the same dumbass questions over and over. I'd ban the whole bunch of you if I were an admin, because you're more annoying than ingrown asshairs and MTV music added together. Let it go, people. This is an internet forum, if you behave like an idiot you get treated like an idiot, if you don't follow the rules you get punished, if you behave you get rewarded. Yes, we all know you're so much more intelligent and competent than [insert mod name here], yes, you'd be a much better moderator (I can read between the lines too), no, you're not getting the job.

Well there's alot that goes into it, IE coding the entire page. But your point remains valid. Both you and Arx think you're something special, when in fact, you are nothing without us.

I would like to know if there is some kind of problem with the forum software, as a post of mine in Technology doesn't appear as I typed it. I sent it again and again it was corrupted.

No one made you mod the people you hate. You did that purely on your own. Without us you mod nothing and therefore you need us so that you can feel good about your sad state of affairs. And if you are not willing to do a damned thing about it, then shut the fuck up.

Do admins have the power to delete accounts instead of merely banning them?

I won't pretend to know fuck all about computers but doesn't just banning accounts waste space seeing as the accounts are still there?

You know what.

This thread is pathetic. It started off as Wintermute trying to be a kind administrator, she offered to awnser any decent question to the best of her ability. And what do you guys do, you act like a bunch of ungreatful teenagers. Granted, that is what alot of you are, but come on, is it that hard to have a little bit of respect. No one is asking you to go out of your way and kiss the administrators and mods feet.

Administrators, moderators, and regulars alike, this is damned rediculous. Yes Totse is about freedom of speech, but what kind of satisfaction do you get by cussing at someone who goes out of their way for you? Tell me what that accomplishes.

To tell you the truth, Totse is a great place. When its not over run by useless crap like this.

And that statement was directed towards everyone. Not one person, not the regulars, not the moderators, not the administrators. All of you.

In regards to the previous comment:

quote:Well there's alot that goes into it, IE coding the entire page. But your point remains valid. Both you and Arx think you're something special, when in fact, you are nothing without us.

Well, he's right. None of you are special. I respect and/or disrespect each and everyone of you for a reason, although I don't always vocalize it, rarley ever. Administrators and Moderators have not done anything to be anymore respected then a dedicated regular. And then there are the moderators that think it is funny to spam the forums, I'll give them about as much respect as I gave tr0g, which wasn't much mind you. Yes, we all appreciate your efforts, but hell, my life would sure as hell go on without you. You have been recognized because you are the most knowledgable of Totse, and thats a great thing, but hey, its an internet forum, you're no better then me or anyone else who visits Totse.

So what was the point of this post?

Well, I just thought I would let you all know how pathetic alot of the conversation that takes place here is.

Fact of the matter is, Suzie is human, she was trying to help and awnser questions, if you refuse to awknowledge the fact that she did something for someone else, thats you're own problem. But c'mon, keep the immature comments to yourself. Yes I will agree with you, some of the things she said were not justified. But if you are going to complain about those comments she made, go back and look at some of the things you said.

Freedom of speach will only protect you from the law. It will not protect you from ignorance. Now lets all grow up or get off the computer and go back to grade school and learn some respect.

I've had 2 nicks, the last one I registered in 1999.

Its only getting worse. Which is why I decided I would complain about it.

I know it won't do anything, but at least its out in the open. I remember a few months ago when Totse was undergoing all these new changes, things such as this were brought up, but never directly.

It's a position I wear with pride. You misunderstand, without GOOD users I would have nothing to do, I consider you a piece of shit, without the pieces of shit on totse, we wouldn't NEED moderators.

The fact is, I mod because I like helping out, but if totse ever achieved a status where stupid fucks didn't post and mods weren't needed, most of us would do a god damned jig.

You are absolutely right. Post count and date registered are irrelevant, I was simply proving a point, that things have been steadily getting worse over the past 6 years or so.

And that post being well thought out, well, in my opinion that doesn't matter. I simply wrote about how I felt.

I challenge you to find ANY thread of mine that you or anyone else has locked, moved, deleted, ETC.

Reading all about how much shit people have to wade through to mod SG and the hundreds of bans a month admins have to do (some were too liberal, undoubtedly, though, like math88's. I and many others will attest he was a good poster and did not deserve a ban) as well as the hundreds of stupid questions here made me feel great sympathy for the mods/admins. How the hell do you manage such a huge board with so few people? I think totse is somewhat understaffed. There are plenty of people who already live and breathe certain forums and could do well to mod them too. *randomly thinks of MilklessCookie by some "completely unrelated" chance*

Reading some of the threads on this page made me realise how fucked society would be without laws, i mean, look at how many fucktards abuse their 'i can say anything i want on here' shit, haven't they got common sence? or are they just fucking retarded inside?

Some people are getting angry ... lets keep it real, even though some ppl may not like other people... At least be a nice kind of rude.. Staff of any sort should always have a kinda manor about them...even if you dont want to show it.. So instead of fussing and cussing why not just keep kool and post a smart ass remark and not a mean.. fuck fuck remark.. at least you still look like your being nice *then if they keep up,, kill with kindness*

Ok first off. Red Raven and Valmont, shut the fuck up. This thread is where totseans come for information they can rely on, and just because some are dumb enough to believe the payment thing doesnt mean you can take advantage of them.

Secondly, Valmont, why did you block me on AIM after I was banned from this site? Just cuz I got banned doesnt mean we cant talk anymore, I thought we were pals.

Finally, for WINTERMUTE, How many of the mods and admins ACTUALLY talk to Jeff Hunter, and how often. What can you tell us about him, if anything. Id like to know what hes like.

Well, assuming you have a brain you could have clicked a few pages back and looked for it.

However, Wintermute said that this feature may very well be added with the upgrade of the BBS.

Why would you want a spell checker? Thats like looking in the back of the book.

When I first started coming to TOTSE, the admins were Enigma and J C Stanton. Then I remember that Jeff Hunter had the name up and there was no more Enigma.

Is Jeff the same chap as Enigma, and does JC Stanton ever post/have anything to do with the site? I don't think I have ever seen a post since 1999.

Also, was Enigma the same Enigma as the famous Enigma of 80's cracking/hacking lore?
