I'm curious, how come my post count went down by about 300?
Posts in off-topic don't count anymore.

I haven't really done the new style of moderation yet, is everything working for it? There's been hardly any reports since I started it, but it seems to be fine on our end. Dunno how it's working for the users, but I didn't have any trouble in my testing, so we'll see.

Rediculously annoying to find posts we delete.
so I suggest warning them, then deleting the post.

People will still see the title above your name, but unless you tell other people why, they wont know why you're warned.

It is. ._.
Though it makes my job a little more of a pain, but I'll get used to it.

Why are some of you bringing up old issues? It's almost as if you want another flame war to happen.
I just want to say that bringing up old [censored] from the past, is not a very smart thing to do. I also thought that things from the past were irrelevant? Apparently not.
I just don't get the people who state they don't care, they never cared, they never will care, they only care on Saturdays, but you still talk about it?
Quoted for truth.
Now let's just let it go already. Does everything always have to be so dramatic? <_<
"KC MM You'll come for the Hacks and stay for the Drama!"
Really, the new post counts are more accurate in measuring who's actually contributing to what this site was made for in the first point: hacking. It wasn't made to be a social networking site. Sadly, not really. Many people post spam as well as irrelevant and off-topic things all over the forum. And because I feel like being dull, I'll say the most clear example is NaruZeldaMaster.
Oh, and there's the introductions sub-forum too, while some people post there to give an authentic welcome to new people, others post for the sake of posting and raising their post count...
Yes, we barely ever get any reports about the spam in these topics. I've even learnt about some of these threads just now. So when I'm saying something silly like "There won't be anymore Spam in any boards where posts are counted, we promise.", I am not "trying to work around the problem". I am just describing a reality that there doesn't seem to be many users that are concerned about that spam.
So if you want things to change, you'll need to be a man and use that report button whenever someone strays off. We don't always hand sanctionsfor reports, you know ? Sometimes, we just make a post in the topic to put things back into order. But again, if nobody ever tells us until we're all here arguing at each other, we aint gonna go very far.
Now this is something that reminds me of a certain thing I wanted to discuss before...
What the hell? Do staff people even check threads in all parts of the forum? And you know... actually do their job? Do you guys have the initiative of checking new posts and new threads?
It gives me the impression that you just moderate if you happen to see it by chance in a thread you're interested in... Or maybe only pay attention when something's reported.
When I had the time some weeks ago, I roamed a little around the sections, checked a few threads, found rule-breaking posts and reported them. I didn't even need to be searching, I just randomly checked the most recent page in a thread and found them... then how come mods don't do anything about them or even notice all the spam?
Users shouldn't be notifying the staff about everything... and the staff shouldn't rely on users reporting all that happens here. I thought people in staff would at least have the common sense of "patrolling".
Also... "you'll need to be a man and use that report button"... lolwut XD

...How much time do you think we have? Either you don't appreciate just how large this forum is, or you're just being unreasonable. Of course we don't go around checking everything. You said yourself that you went looking When I had the time Which I know I don't have. I'm a senior CS major; my limited time here is largely spent working behind the scenes on stuff, like what I've done lately, and handling reports. I certainly don't have the luxury of looking around for extra stuff to do, especially when I don't care a bit about Brawl hacking anyway. Report the stuff and we'll take care of it (assuming your report goes through; really gotta look into that). You're in the threads anyway, so why not? Though maybe we will find a few people to be local mods instead of global, to "patrol" some high-traffic boards. It's something that needs to be discussed.

does sound like an idea. I would say that cause you guys need the help sometimes, and you arn't always available.
