I'm a techie. You have to be more specific with your requirements

Right, more seriously...I'll remove the fret boost I put on everybody in the admin team in a bit (unless there are any objections), but we do need to figure out a way for members to identify the admin and mod teams to support the whole "transparency" thing.

Yeah, that was a half-joke by me just for the giggles - Nick got 1000, the rest of the initial dev team got 500. It was actually the result of me playing a bit when I was asked to remove some pre-launch facepalms. Sporky asked me to remove his extras, so I guess I should remove them from everybody's.

Well, I thought it was funny...

It was, and I don't mind other people having them at all.

A locked section that contains the user names of the mods and admins and the banlog and thread deletion log sounds a good idea.

I'd also like to remind everyone of the moderator rules (which also applky to admin use of mod powers) - whenever you do anything to someone else's post, note in the thread that you've done it please, even if it's a good-cop thing like fixing a link or removing duplicate posts. No matter how minor it was.

Good point I've fixed some links without mentioning it.

Me too. Oops.

No objection here.

Sporky · August 2013

It's not something I'm grumpy about, so don't worry if you've done anything. I just think it's a good idea to get into the habit. On the one hand it's about openness and transparency, and on the other it shows that, like the Yellow Pages, we're not just here for blocked drains.

digitalscream · August 2013

Right, there you go - we're all dumb again

digitalscream · August 2013

In other news, related to the OP, we're still getting new signups; I just persuaded Jaden Rose to sign up, so hopefully he'll put some of his workshop diaries up here. That should get us some traffic too

TTony · August 2013

Nice move that man!!

Purely as a matter of interest, have the Russians found you yet? I'm getting inundated with membership applications from suchandsuch@yandex.ru and have been for about the last 8 weeks. Nothing unusual to have in excess of 150 applications a day.

Bloody Nightmare keeping on top of it all singlehanded as my entire team have taken themselves off on holidays, so I am doing it solo.

I have put messages up that you are now open for business, but as most of our members are, or were members of MR I am assuming that they have found you already.

thumpingrug · August 2013

I cant see anywhere a total of the current membership. All other forums seem to have this, usually on the front page.

Im just curious as to how were doing and don't want to have to keep asking.

monquixote · August 2013

185 members ATM.

We will probably add the number of users somewhere when we get a mo.

thumpingrug · August 2013

185. Thats pretty good going. Emps temp site had just over 200 so we still have a few who have gone astray.

monquixote · August 2013

I think some on Emps forum were from when the site first appeared in 2009 so we probably won't get all of them.

Emp_Fab · August 2013

Er... Mr Digitalgit.... those 500 facepalms you gave me.... whilst the number has changed back to zero, I appear to still have the badges in my profile !!

You think that's bad? Look at mine...I've got 10,000 of the things (and I never had that many in the first place, although some bastard's facepalmed me somewhere). Seems like a bit of a bug somewhere...I'll have a look when I get home.

yandex something or other regularly visits my blog(should we be worried?)

Sorted

Although...while trying to figure out why it happened, I discovered who gave me a facepalm. It's far too tempting to have one of Sporky's "accidents".

Sometimes, I get the feeling I shouldn't be trusted with absolute power

(I promise I'll leave things alone now)

TTony · August 2013

It wasn't me, was it??

I clicked on lots of stuff when we were testing. Mainly to see if it worked!

No, it was one of the guys in the politics thread. I don't even understand what it was in my comment which deserved such (apart from not espousing his point of view), but I'm willing to accept that it's a breach of etiquette to approach him over it.

Yeah, probably breach of etiquette, as you say.

Just nuke him.

Emp_Fab · August 2013

Aww man... how come you can see who's facepalmed you and nobody else can ? Some bugger has done it to me (and for that matter, monquixote, sporky, Ttony etc etc). If I'm having the piss taken out of me, at least let me know why.

Unless you can see who has awarded you points and for what posts, I don't see the point in them. There is no feedback in that loop.

Hmmm ... let's discuss how this is working.

You need to find a way of limiting the votes. One vote per member per post. Is that possible.

Sporky · August 2013

That is already the case.

I think they should be anonymous, otherwise we risk tit-for-tat nonsense.

It would be nice, if the plugin supports it, to let people see the posts for which people voted though.
