Once a BRoomer, always a BRoomer, unless you somehow turn into a jerk/spam the room for +1.

 

[Tom]

Plus, there's no real reason to kick someone for being an 'inactive BRoomer.' Mods have a job to do, so if they're inactive they're not doing their job and should be replaced. There is a certain number of boards that need to be modded, so based on the number of people posting and the number of boards, there will be a certain amount of mods necessary. By contrast, there's no quota to fill with BRoomers. Just good people.

Someone asked me this today but I was unsure.
Are you allowed to have more than one account on SWF?

 

[Airgemini]

Hm... I know if you're banned and we catch you having another account we ban the other one too..

I would assume as long as the other account isn't a troll account then yes.. :/

Not entirely sure though.

I've always thought a replay browser would be a good idea. Y'know, like the Stage Browser, except for replays.

Out of interest, how was the Stage Browser developed? Is it built in functionality with vBulletin forum software?

 

[victra♥]

We should get ColinJF to set up a new friend finder. lol. seriously.

You aren't allowed to have more than one account unless you ask permission and have a pretty legit reason. Multiple accounts are sometimes allowed for use in the Decisive Games forum.

That's a great idea, Vyse. Also, I don't know how SB was developed. We would have to get the robots up in here.

Hello, everyone!
My friend Pink Reaper achieved Tournament Director status by hosting a Shoddy Battle Pokemon Tournament in the Poke Center forum.
I am also hosting a SWF 1st Annual Spriting Tournament in the Poke Center. Was it appropriate for me to have applied for Tournament Director status hosting this kind of tournament**? It involves competition, and I've made prizes.

**Yeah, I've already applied, I probably should have asked this BEFORE I applied, but I just now saw this thread.

 

[Azua]

I think they were talking about Smash tournaments with the whole Tournament Director thing.

It's a custom script. It makes use of vB to tie into your user account and your profile, but that's about it.

 

[Deleted member]

When I logged on today, I had 9 more posts than when I logged off last night. Why is this?

 

[Xsyven]

I'm not entirely sure, but it's possible that a thread that you had 9 posts in may have been moved from a forum with post count disabled (Meet & Greet, User Blogs, Regional Social Rooms, etc), to a room that has post count enabled, like the Rubbish Bin.

Totally not sure what it is, but that's the most probable theory.

 

[Azua]

I rubbish binned some blogs you posted in.


Is post count seriously that important that people know it down to the number?

 

[Xsyven]

Yeah, I just doublechecked. There were two spam threads by Eor that godsmith had 9 posts in combined.

 

[DTP]

Is there a reason why we can't quote people in social groups?
It's probably obvious, but I'm slow....

It would help if we could....

 

[Xsyven]

The newest version of vB has an updated social group system, including features such as quoting. Depends whether or not MLG updates.

 

[Chaco]

It would be nice if they did.

That's awesome. I really hope they do update sometime soon.
But would there be a reason for them not to update?

Thanks for answering so quickly lol

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Wait i have a Q&A where are your banned points and how many till your banned and where do you view them,

 

[Azua]

Read here.

 

[Morrigan]

Are mods & admins capable of seeing thru invisible users?

 

[Azua]

I know admins can.

 

[Mic_128]

That's awesome. I really hope they do update sometime soon.

Thanks for answering so quickly lol

JV's said that the MLG tech's are busy with other stuff.

 

[Chaco]

Awww, we need those updates.

 

[DTP]

Oh?

I guess SWF is low on their priority list

Oh well, I can wait. Thanks =D

 

[Mini Mic]

You aren't allowed to have more than one account unless you ask permission and have a pretty legit reason.

In that case could someone please ban my alternate account, the username is Mic_128.

[Azua]

Sure thing guys :D

 

[Firus]

Is it possible to delete a Social Group that you created?

I created one a while back when the User Blogs had kind of...declined, for lack of a better word, but it's really improved now and I don't really see any reason for the group anymore. But after searching, I couldn't find a way to delete it...or even for me, the creator, to leave it.

If it has to be deleted by a Mod/SMod/Admin, could one do so for me? The name of the group is "R.I.P. The User Blogs."

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

[DTP]

Yep it is =D
I actually just learned how a couple days ago haha

First you have to delete/remove all of the members
Then the "Delete group" option will appear near the bottom where it also says "Edit Group"

 

[Chaco]

All you have to do is kick all of the members then it will give you the option of deleting.

 

[Firus]

Oh, okay. Thanks guys.

Probably should've thought about trying that first.

 

[Xivii]

Another Question I recieved.
When you press the report button does it only report the user or does it directly report the Post/Thread?

 

[Azua]

It does both in the same report :D

 

[forward]

I would like to suggest that the rules be lightened up on.

I make posts that seem to make people laugh, and then I get bad points for them. Are you telling me I should not make people laugh? That humor is bad? That's some nazi bull****.

 

[Azua]

You're outta here, I'm tired of dealing with you.

If you wouldn't post stupid **** like "I want to have sex with a zombie britney spears," I wouldn't have to infract you.


This is not a room of 10-year olds.

 

[Xsyven]

See kids-- even pro smashers can be banned from the Pool Room.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

I agree with forward.

It's the internet. It's not supposed to be serious business, espicially in a room thats supposed to contain random topics unrelated to smash.

 

[Azua]

Do you people even read the rules?

This has to be kept rated E.

E means NO SEX JOKES.

Why is it that I have to argue with someone about this every other day?

 

[Xsyven]

Random topics unrelated to smash are fine, just as long as you stay on topic.
