New Board FAQ

Is there some hidden warning bar here?! SSG4 sent out "board warning" and then deleted the post.

If there's a warning bar, could we members at least see it?

Its mainly for people like myself, MM, you, AH, GXG, and a few others. Heck, apparently, everyone's been Reporting me.

Honestly, Ive only gotten one but since the post was deleted, it should be reversed. This isnt the place to discuss it but if there's some warning meter, can we at least see it?!

It's a general warning. You've done it more than once. I was just using that one because it was the most recent.

Admit it, SS4G, you just want us spanked like the naughty monkeys we are.

We can have a text game fourm? I think it's possible to make a fourm section where your post account will be turn off.

You only have one, so no reason to really be concerned. We had considered making the warnings public, ala the Duncing on the old forums, but decided against it.

Mods and Admins can see them at any time though, and every user with a warning will flash up on that screen. Right now only five users have warnings, and one of those is that trouble maker Bandit Keith. Warnings vanish after 90 days as well.

^ I think he was asking if users can see their own warnings.

But good idea keeping 'em private - I remember on another board a couple members under 'close watch' admitted by admins got flamebaited out.

Users are notified when they are warned. From that point on it lasts for 90 days, but really that shouldn't matter. As long as the user continues to follow the rules and avoid previous mishaps, it doesn't matter how many warnings they have.

However, if they continue to break the rules or fall back into their previous mistakes, then something more severe than a warning will be exercised

What about a comment page for our profiles? Where we can post stuff on each other page.

Perhaps. I will look into it, but no promises.

Would it be possible to add a Arcade or Chat to the forums?

Have you guys made any decisions on what to do with banned members yet? While I admit a few have change for the most part non have not going to point out any names but it's pretty easy to figure out.

I am curious if it is possible to abolish the double posting rule in some of the Fan Fiction/Fan Art areas? Is it possible to allow it in one area but block it from others so that mistakes (Such as accidental double posting doesn't occur)?

THOUGH I totally understand your reasons for doing so and if the answer is no. That is okay. I just want when I post a new image for it to be bounced back up to the top.

Not trying to be a pain!

Its possible, but we are trying to reduce strain on the database to improve performance. Translation: sadly, no.

We haven't made a firm decision, but so far we will probably be looking at it on a case-by-case basis. So all formerly banned members will not once again be banned, that much can be said. Still, not to name names, but two previously banned members have started to accumulate a fair number of warnings and may once again find themselves banned in short order.

A fair request, I will bring it up to the rest of the staff.

[gvamp]

Thanks for the response Anthony.

A lot of links on the main site, mostly user credit, link to the old site profiles - will this be changed to reflect the new forum, or kept for archival purposes? I'm guessing the staff link profiles will all be changed though.

Similarly, most of Vega's Games link to 'Discuss' forums on the old boards - will new ones be started? (I'd be happy to do so) Or will the links be removed, or simply kept linking to the old board?

These are all good questions. In regards to the user credit, that's the one we are currently working on as it will be the hardest fix.

^ I'm guessing since a lot of members have had name changes, correct?

Not just user changes, but some users just never made the jump (which is understandable, as all forums lose some members with time). So its a complex issue, but rest assured is something that we have been keeping in mind and working at since before the forums launched.
