NEMO.BOFH Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi All! We have made some changes on PsyNews. 1. The Warn system. We have changed the warn system to give you an increase of 15% instead of 33%. This means, 6 warnings instead of 3 before you get banned from the site. However this also means, that you will receive direct warnings via the warn system and not be Pre-Warned in threads anymore. 2. We have opened up a thread in the General section which is pinned where you can complain about any moderator/admin actions. So from now on, we would like to see all complaints in there, and we will ANSWER them there. Any threads that get opened complaining about the mods will either get ignored, or they will be moved into the pinned thread. COMPLAIN HERE! Any useless stuff will be removed instantly from this thread. (Self explanatory) 3. We will be stricter upholding the rules from now on. This applies to mods and admins as well. 4. There are some changes to be made to the rules coming up shortly, for all of our convenience. One thing is to open up a thread, but one is to spam the forum with several threads a day, and moreover, several threads about the exact same thing over a week. Open one thread for EACH subject. USE THE SEARCH! If you didn’t find anything, but there is already a thread about your subject, we will merge the topics together. 5. If you feel that you have to share every single feeling you have with us, use the official Spam thread for that "What are you doing, Right now!" If that is not enough, then please register for a blog. All users are not interested in every single move you are making, and it takes up useless disk space on the Psynews Server (sounds harsh, but that’s the bitter truth). If you have complaints regarding these changes, please make sure you voice them in the appropriate thread, pinned in the General Section (HERE) //The PsyNews ModTeam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reger Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 ahhh now that is an idea that I need to explore a bit 638717[/snapback] now that would be totally lame, making psynews with invitations only lamest psy community of them all then lol...now what is this? a threat or just a thought? u know very well that i have stop the fights since i have stop posting to off-topic. so if u want to find some morons u know where u can find them since im chilled long time now and im not involved to fights anymore u better say those words for your self 638740[/snapback] now for this one could get a warn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMO.BOFH Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 now that would be totally lame, making psynews with invitations only lamest psy community of them all then now for this one could get a warn 639108[/snapback] Why would that be lame? It would give us controll over bots, and it would give us control over WHO joins. There are enough members on the site, which could invite new members.... of course, its not going to happen... atleast not right now, but there is certainly NOTHING lame about it.

What do you want, an exclusive, elite community? What if I just love to listen to goa trance, don't go to parties and never talk to anyone about it online... So I'm not welcome then?

I am saying that you can of course APPLY to be invited as well. Then we would KNOW its a real person that is going to come inside the forum. No applications should be denied by ANY person, this is an OPEN forum, and not an ELITIST forum, where only we can hang around. My main concern are the bots that join on a daily basis. We have had 20 of them in the last 24 hours, thats pretty sad. Unfortunately, with member validation, and with US validating members, we can NEVER catch the bots. So I think that you misunderstood.

Jon Cocco Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Since the changes on here, I noticed some of my previous reviews have codes (numbers and letters sentences) around certain areas where I had enlarged words, size , etc. FOR EXAMPLE, this was what happened when I went back to my Peace Therapy 2 review in 2006 here. <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>V/A - PEACE THERAPY 2</span> That was once the title! Why is this? Can and will it be corrected? Many of my reviews look fine and others have these codes that have appeared around them, the text. This also appearaed to my score during that same review. Why did the site do this? SEE BELOW: <span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'>SCORE</span>: <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>8.9</span> out of 10 ........ <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>B+</span> Can someone please explain why these coded sentences are happening to some of my reviews??

NEMO.BOFH Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Jon, I have PM'ed the whole mod team and Mars about this problem, and hopefully we will have an answer very soon. Mars is the webmaster of the site, so he should be able to solve it very quickly Regards, Nemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
