Posted 20 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: And whats that suppose to do? Thanks John, thought that was what it meant it was the code thrown in that confused me. That method is certainly not needed if that is what the message was about as you said we have methods of hiding and deleting individual posts or entire threads quite easily with the forum code already |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: ... No that must have been a custom edit so that the BBC could control what was been said. BOINC dev's have said this facility will never be introduced into there standard code, of course this doesn't stop projects from playing with the code if they so wish |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: Locking threads, and some of the other tools may not be that hard to add, and would probably be accepted by the BOINC developers. BOINCstats already has the facility in to lock threads and also has a who's online. For anyone who doesn't like the forums just hang tight more and more people are working on different aspects of BOINC to make it evolve in a better way |

Why are discussions about Rosetta taking place on other boards?
(Message 23424)
Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: Something has gone majorly wrong here and the posts to other forums seem as though they are about to alienate a whole new set of people, far from preventing the fire spreading through Rosetta, the dev's now seem to be fanning the fire to the darkest deepest depths. |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: Someone here is talking civilised and its certainly not you all your posts to this thread so far have been cocky arrogant and threatening, not one of my post here falls under this category at all. Not replying to you anymore as its a pointless exercise, I will just await the mods to wake up and come do there job, that's if they do anything at the weekend. To use an analogy your like a dog with a bone, your best bet is to leaving everything well alone, as its only landing you into more and more trouble. [warning]Thread deletion imminent[warning] |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: By the way the ban tool WILL NOT work, if you were to say banish me for two weeks it would only enrage, I would sign up in new user, copy and paste and be 10 x more annoying. Well it looks like you will be the 1st to receive a permanent ban if you carry on the way you are doing, best thing is to just forget about everything that is going on, even take some time away from the boards and wait for the dust to settle, continually voicing your opinion in the way you are doing at the moment is only going to get you running into more trouble with users, mods & dev's. PS: That is not a dig at you, just what I can see happening due to the circumstances |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: I don't know, but they will probably have to eventually implement a permanent ban as well. Some people just do not learn. Two weeks in time out seems to be about right for a repeat offender that has not been banished before. Its quite sad that this method is needed, just glad that when all the stuff at SETI kicked off that they decided to design & implement this new feature. Wonder who is 1st for the 2 week sinbin? ;) |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: Found the message In the past few months, some of the SETI at home message boards have been overwhelmed by "trolls": people who write large numbers of insulting and irrelevant messages. There aren't that many of these people - maybe a dozen or two - but their effect is to make the message boards very unpleasant,which (according to many reports) causes lots of people to stop running SETI at home. Edit: So don't know if its 2 weeks you have to stick with for a banish or maybe its configurable? |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: excellent idea. If I have time this evening, I'll see if I can get it up on ralph and then on R@h. Kewl, I know it has been tested and deployed on SETI@Home so it should all work correctly but if it doesn't work correctly at least you have RALPH to test it on and make sure it works 1st of all. Once installed at least you have another tool to try and calm things down, so long as its not misused by anyone ;) |

Posted 19 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: People can communicate and talk on the subject they just want it to be civil, alot of comments in that thread should not of been there at all. a sensible discussion would have been nice but the credit situation brings out the good, the bad and the ugly on the forums. Good thing would be for the new forum code to be uploaded that allows devs & mods to bar people from the message board system for upto 2 weeks in a row, then open up a thread for discussion telling people to be nice. If someone is not warn them and then if they carry on bar them for a period of time upto 2 weeks. Of course all messages are still logged and available to Devs so they can always check out what the Mods are getting upto |

Posted 18 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: The mods can hide individual posts, but most seem to take the easy way out and just hide the whole thread. In this case its probably lack of time to go through all the messages last time I checked the thread was up to around 290 posts I think, far easier just to remove the whole thing from public view and leave it for the developers to read all the comments at a later date. The convo was going down hill big time :) |

Posted 18 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: Appology for long post. Thought maybe to grab this opportunity. Hee hee no apologies for a long long thread, if we were to go back to the message that started it all I guess many people would say its the 1st post but that depends on people perceptions as were all different. Get use to petty arguments like this it does happen unfortunately when it comes to credit for some unknown reason its like a status symbol for some people I guess?? |

Posted 18 Aug 2006 by UBT - Halifax--lad Post: All I know is this: I made statements that I wanted read by the people that run this organization and now they are gone. BOINC devs will never edit the forum code so that mods or devs can edit posts, they have already stated that as a fact. your posts should still be there and available for mods & devs to read it just hides them from joe public, I am a mod at QMC and when any of us delete a post or thread it is still there to be seen by us |
