Q&A Smashboards Questions Thread. Ask site-related questions here. (Staff answers preferred)

[DtJ Jungle]

Yes, thats right.

 

[Heartz♥]

And evidently, a few of us receive visitor message reports from other users.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Yeah, that too. We get reported posts for this forum, but DL get reported posts for their forums as well.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Why do you see the reported posts if you can't do anything about it?

 

[Heartz♥]

You could think of it as being a sentry. We just look out for any problems and direct them to management.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Why do you see the reported posts if you can't do anything about it?

I also think it has to do with the whole 'we're technically listed as moderators' thing so we get reported posts as if we were actually moderators. Something with that, I assume.

What advertisements does the premium membership actually block from showing? as far as I can tell it does absolutely nothing

an answer would be appreciated

 

[Heartz♥]

There are ads that show in-between posts in threads. Those are the ones that it is referring to. The above ones are different, because we are under MLG ownership, and those ads are necessary.

 

[Fuelbi]

There were? I never recalled seeing those before I got premium

Anyways, my solution to taking off the ads at teh top is just to simply switch to Ambigutor (btw sorry if this classifies as answering a question instead of staff)

 

[Lythium]

Or use Adblock. Seriously.

 

[Fuelbi]

Adblock? What is this adblock of which you speak?

 

[thegreatkazoo]

Or use Adblock and noscript. Seriously.

Fixed.

Adblock? What is this adblock of which you speak?

Larn2firefox extensions.

 

[Fuelbi]

Oh no wonder, I use Chrome

 

[uhmuzing]

Methinks a new forum just appeared.
Will the ol' M&G be added to the SWF Archive?

 

[Heartz♥]

I don't see a necessary reason, unfortunately.

 

[Fuelbi]

M&G would be...

 

[F8AL]

M&G would be...

Meet and Greet.

 

[Zatchiel]

Can i get banned for saying this game is not that important?
(Potentially anything flaming the Smash Series.)

Yes and no. If you simply say "lol what the hell are you all doing competing in a children's game", it would count as trolling which can get you banned. But if you try to discuss it maturely, nothing will happen.

 

[Mic_128]

why this?

[Collapse=Why?]

[/Collapse]

more specifically is the title just wrong or what?

They were posts in the Melee back room about Brawl. Not sure exactly when those threads were made, either before or during Brawl's launch.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Man I should totally stop answering questions

 

[theeboredone]

How do I apply to be a mod?

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

You don't. You're hand selected.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

One day people will read the title. But yeah you can't apply to be a mod

 

[KAOSTAR]

anyone able to confirm 10k character limit and how collapse boxes and pictures affect character limit?

 

[F8AL]

One day people will read the title. But yeah you can't apply to be a mod

I doubt it. Reading must be difficult to some people.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

anyone able to confirm 10k character limit and how collapse boxes and pictures affect character limit?

Sorry i meant to answer this when you asked it. I confirmed that the limit is around 10k. Even if you collapse stuff, it still counts towards the character limit, collapse tags just make it easier on the eyes and your computer. You are allowed to have up to 20 pictures in one post.

 

[KAOSTAR]

oh aight thanks.

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

Kirby king said that the title was to prevent people from answering questions which they were unsure about. I was sure about my remark.

I doubt it. Reading must be difficult to some people.

If I couldn't read, I wouldn't have known what that question said in the first place.

Aslo, are the moderators' titles going to stay the supermod color?

 

[Lythium]

That rule has been changed since then. It creates a lot less confusion that way.

And to answer your question: yes, most likely.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Kirby King explained the implementation of that rule. However, since the IBWC has been put into effect, and really before that, the rule is NO ONE other than staff is supposed to answer. Theyve been lenient about this in the past but it's more work for us to correct you when you're wrong.

 

[Mic_128]

What Mark said. In fact guys, if non-mods answer questions, report them and I'll infract them. There's been enough warnings already.

 

[HaiWayne]

hey i have a problem. it seems like i am unable to leave messages on people's profiles :/

 

[Azua]

It's because of your post count. We've restricted posting VMs until a person has 30 or so posts due to spam bot issues.

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

Ever thought of adding awards for more groups?

 

[KAOSTAR]

can we get a user group for trolls of the melee boards?

title.."stay off my bridge"

 

[Frown]

Ever thought of adding awards for more groups?

Yes. But not right now.

title.."stay off my bridge"

An award for trolling is not a very good idea, sorry.

 

[KAOSTAR]

who said it was an award. more like a warning.

 

[Frown]

We have actual warnings for that. A troll usergroup would result in members trying to get in just for the heck of it.

 

[Heartz♥]

And we don't need that, now do we?
