Imagine if OT had thread rating available.

Wow an all smilie post by a mod in reply to mine. Actually there are some good threads in OT, but unfortunately even more bad ones, so I do understand why it is not there.

 

[BCLG100]

And i thought there was a no smilie post rule


does anyone actually use the buddy system thing? is it any use?

 

[Mirc]

Why we aren't allowed to delete our own posts?

Why we aren't allowed to delete our own posts?

That could be very useful when u double post (or say something stupid)

 

[Turner]

Because you can't lock out deleting the first post. If the first post goes, the whole thread goes.

I did, but many 'buddies' use invisible mode now so it's no good anymore...

 

[Mirc]

Because you can't lock out deleting the first post. If the first post goes, the whole thread goes.

Then don't allow us delete the first post, but give us the possibilty of deleting our posts from the middle of a thread.

Then don't allow us delete the first post, but give us the possibilty of deleting our posts from the middle of a thread.

That could cause plenty of confusing situations.

 

[thetrooper]

Yeah, with all the quotes and stuff.

 

[WildWeazel]

I think what Turner meant is that's not an option. If we were allowed to delete our posts, then we could delete entire threads that we started.

 

[Mirc]

I don't know, I would still like to have this option. After all, the button is called "Edit/Delete Message", not "Edit Message"

 

[Turner]

Like I said, we can't disallow deleting the first post. So until Jelsoft puts that code in, you can't delete your posts.

You can always edit your posts and take out whatever you said.

 

[MarineCorps]

When i report someone, do the moderators who read the report see who made it (me) ?
Or do they have a code of honour that forbids them to ever speak about those that reported smthing ?

Yeah along with your email adress.

Inspired by the "DYKT" thread.

I was thinking of making a new thread but i thought it would be too user-specific... So i'll post this question here, kuz maybe lots of n00bs asked themselves this.
Why is TF the 11th member to join the forum ?
Maybe there are others here that are intrested in the ancient history of the forum, no ?
Did Lefty make the forum or smthing ??? If he did then why is he the 3rd ? (i see the 1st one was a test thingy)
How was the forum exactly born ?

Maybe i can get a short answer and not many ppl will start spaming ...

Thunderfall is not the 11th user - his user ID is #1 (as seen here). You might be confused over the fact that the default admin with vBulletin is called "Admin5" or something and has a join date of 1969 or something like that, due to the way databases are made. I'm not too sure, but I know there are a lot of discussions like this...just search the forum.

Huh ? I don't get it, i was refering to this.

It's still the same, Thunderfall is the one who created this here site in the first place. And if you hang your mouse over the names in that list you'll see a the member number in the link. And Thuderfall's is #1, even if that list doesn't put him on the first spot.

 

[Mirc]

So it is more a bug in the Members List?

Oh, i see now ... but why is the memeber list wrong then ?
