Vikings: you must have not had any tough ones from politically biased pundants?

Czuch: 10 days wasn't long enough?

ScarletRose: go back to the page again and, IF a post was saved, it should display a link by the text box to retrieve the post.
I think draft posts are saved every 30 or 60 seconds, so you may or may not have a saved post...

How does one retrieve their lost message.. I typed in a post earlier and waited for it to post.. only to get an error page.. this has happened several times and it is getting rather frustrating.. argghhh!!

Papa: Cute kid, I might look through my photo albums and show you me when I was a kid

pauloaguia: Come on Vikes.... your making everyone else look bad... couldnt you at least pretended you had better things to do than work on your interview night and day?

pauloaguia:
wow so fast

Viking's interview has just been forwarded to Fencer for him to post it on the site. So, I reccon you can all read it very soon...

Also, don't forget to send me your questions for Bubbles Pbarb2 . The clock is ticking...

and you can also suggest who should be interviewed next

MsDelete: No relaxing after work here either...(had already done my Ebay shopping )...this site never stops surprising me :(

tippyc: hey, its working now

im guessing im not the only one the games wont load for, judging by the other posts. actually, none of the bk pages are loading completely right now. the pictures arent loading. i can only see wetware's avatar, none of the other pictures EDIT: except for smileys

I can't relax playing my games tonight so instead I'm spending money on Ebay..2nd favorite thing to do on the net...it's getting expensive now though...lol

blind dice poker is very interesting. So is blind maharajah chess. This makes for a fun night.

heavenlyemma: Yeah, way back when I had hair.

at least I do not feel so alone now

ruby2shoes: Yes, you're not the only one!

Is everyone getting problems like me? My tournament wins are not being added on and tonight the site is unusable for playing - using IE and Firefox, the picture of the game boards is not complete

Czuch: Thankyou

heavenlyemma:

Thankyou Fencer

Papa: Is that a icon pic of yourself when you was a lad?

heavenlyemma:

Papa: It's working now I got this when I changed my photo which I didn't get before.

"Changes have been stored in the database and are waiting to be approved by an administrator."

Papa: I'll try it again.

heavenlyemma: perhaps but I was just able to upload a pic fine so something is amiss

Czuch:

Papa: There is. It's BK since the move there are bugs I think. The pic is fine no need for you to see it.

heavenlyemma:

Czuch: Cheeky, no they are not nudes.

heavenlyemma: If I could see it I might be able to tell. There has to be a logical reason.

heavenlyemma: Maybe they dont like nudes?

Papa: I've checked and everything is fine with it right size, jpg but it doesn't want to upload.

I asked Jason about it last night and he tried it for me on his account and it didn't work for him either.

heavenlyemma: Check the image type and the kilobyte size. The image type must be jpg, gif or png and its size cannot exceed 100 kilobytes.

Fencer: Just what Jules has said.

Fencer: She's sending a request for a pic to be added to her profile and it's not working. She's not getting the usual message that it's waiting for approval by the administrator or anything.

Fencer: Any idea why it will not display this Tournament Madhouse 2007 - Week 39


Nothing major, but i know you like these little mysteries

heavenlyemma: "It won't work" is not the best description. What exactly happens?

I'm having trouble up loading a photo it's the right size and everything but it won't work.

Fencer could you have a look at it when you got time, thanks

Jason: I got that part too, but they also cannot post anything else either....


why not just a ban where they get a message, you cannot read this board, you acn not write on this board, just like when you are not a fellowship member and try to access a board?

Czuch: If a person is banned they can see the board but cannot edit/delete thier own posts .

coan.net: I guess the point is that if someone is breaking the user agreement, then it doesnt matter where it is occuring, they should just be kicked off the site, right?

But if you are doing something that only warrants discussion board sanctions, then why not a ban instead of just a hide?

Purple: I dont think any posts are deleted automatically by a ban, maybe I am wrong?

anyway, doesnt fencer have the ability to find and read all posts even deleted ones, including private messages and on games as well?

Czuch: Well this is not really a place to talk about specific issues like this, but is a good time to remind everyone about the User Agreement, which everyone on this site should follow. This user agreement covers the whole site, even fellowships. Fellowship do allow for "relax the foul language rules", but does not allow the rest of the user agreement to be ignored.

Read the user agreement here: http://brainking.com/en/UserAgreement (A link can be found at the bottom of every page.)

Purple: When you ban, the posts are not all deleted. So a Moderator has to be careful to also hide them (so the bad posts are not seen), or remove the bad post. (would not be good to ban without doing something with the bad posts). Most moderators do a good job of coping the post to the event log - which logs everything that is done - - - and is recommended when a moderator does take action, to just copy & paste the offending posts so there is a written record.

A hide instead of ban so you have a record of what was said that can be reviewed by Fencer or The GM's and the violator can not claim that he "posted no such thing." If you ban someone are not all their posts deleted?

Czuch: Fencer, it seems that the Globals have the power to hide someones posts site wide, including the private fellowship boards, but they can only ban them from the public discussion boards.

Could you make it so either the site wide hiding doesnt include fellowship boards, or that they can actually ban someone from fellowships as well as public boards?

Personally, I dont think that the globals should have any say over private fellowships, so my preference would be to change the way the site wide hide works

..and for anyone who needs to be banned on all boards everywhere, then maybe they should simply be removed from the site by you all together?

Okay, here is the problem now... apparently this person has been hidden on all boards, both public and private fellowships, so they are still able to post and chat with anyone who is a moderator!!!!

Please, what is the purpose to hide this person when they should simply be banned?????

Could the Globs please fix this asap, or please explain why not?

Bernice: That sounds like the appropriate measure to me too!

Like i said earlier, hiding someone should only be done when you want a post to be modified, and you want the poster to do it themselves, and then to be taken of hide.

But lately, moderators have taken it upon themselves to edit posts at their own discretion, and they have used the hide option when they should be using the ban option

Czuch: in this particular case where violent threats were made against members and mods, a banning would be more appropriate....not necessarily a total banning from the site, but take away ALL posting rights....then if they are re-instated at any time if the person persists with the threatening ways, then ban him/her from the site.

Bernice: ... or maybe so the person can have a chance to edit their offensive posts, before they are taken off hide???

It seems silly to me sometime, how mods will use the hide option, when a ban is what is more relevant
