Obviously I'm for it, I think the forums are pretty dead without it, and it was pretty useful for a lot of things, and I even had some ideas for it how to implement it in a more safe, less shunning manner.

I think if every server had its own general discussion and community discussion sections, it would be beneficial as you could leave it enabled for all general discussions, shitposting, and unban requests/staff apps, but leave it off on pretty much every other place in the forums. That would cut the amount of posts that rep manipulation can happen on to pretty few, if you want rep to be involved you'd just post in generals, and if you didn't you'd post in community, the poster would pretty much decide. The harder ones would obviously be unban requests and staff apps, though I see it much more heavily as an unban request problem, not a staff app one, just going by what generally happens. The only idea I have there might not even work, and if it doesn't then probably having them off for unban requests as well would be better, but if the original post could not have rep enabled but all subsequent posts did, that would help quite a bit, I think. Then it would push  harder for the community discussion on the request, versus just -1bombing the OP.

Just some thoughts, and obviously if after a while people are adamant that it should stay gone, this is just a rand wanting things post. I do feel like the forums stay pretty dead which is kinda lame without it, tho.]]>

Orange is actively being worked on or a solution known but pending
Green is solution implemented

Work In Progress

That one PHP error that appears for new people
This issue should have been resolved when prostats was fixed. I have seen no other reports of this issue. Prostats itself now works properly on the index page and is now additionally available on both the portal and forum statistics pages. Admin errors and double posting resolved. 

Missing buttons on bottom of page
Links are now visible and work correctly. Mild visual tweaks made, might still fix the wrapping for mobile.

Forum moderation guidelines
Not strictly mantainence, the forum team and rules changes along with structured guidelines will be announce in the coming days (I don’t have WiFi so it may be a moment).

Spoilers 
Use [sp*] message body [/sp*] (without the *) - Button hates anything that isn’t the default theme. I have a couple ideas left but it has been resistant to actually work, back burner project. Text still works. 

Formatting 
Fixed the “font error” - forum update may re-fuck this. October will see a lot of code/mantainace changes and this will be watched 

Thread header 
The header no longer tries to eat the announcement banner

Automated forum cleaner
I’ve set up a forum cleaner to help automate some actions. Currently it is working towards closing threads older than 30 days. It’s kinda works, slowly, and has a long way to go. 

Rank mantainence
I did some misc backend cleanup that almost isn’t worth mentioning unless you’re an admin. Hidden staff still show up as online which while funny is insteresting. Back burner project. 

MyAlerts
Died to user error, will look into the fix. Scheduled with the October theme update.



Several moderation updates will appear over the next few days including the introduction of a mod team, updated rules, rework of reputation moderation, and warn escalation.]]> Red is not started or some roadblock

Work In Progress

That one PHP error that appears for new people
Prostats was two tapped and thrown in a lake. New version did not fix the issues and new double posting it was having after a forum update. Will continue to look into this but I don’t have high hopes that it will be used the same way. 

Missing buttons on bottom of page
Minor issue to get back to, they are there but invisible.

Forum moderation guidelines
Guidelines need to be updated for rule tweaks, new banning and moderation procedures. Posting for applications to be clarified across forums. Admin responsibilities to be clarified with new admins.

Spoilers 
Use [sp*] message body [/sp*] (without the *) - Button can be put in but its appears three times. Working that out if possible, seems it wasn't meant to work with anything but default.

Formatting 
Fixed the “font error” 

Punishments
Punishments on the forums will see a slight overhaul. Currently the warn system moderates at 50% and suspends at 70% - it will change to 60% / 80% suspension only. - This has been implemented.

Banning
Admins will add the relevant ban data to the moderator notes on the banned profile for the current ban. Past unbans will be tracked through the unban request threads. Unbanned accounts will be moderated and only allowed to post on the app itself. Unban alts will not be allowed - all unban requests will come from the account the unban is for.

My forum warning level is at 60% with three warnings at 20% each, all three for shitposting. I actually like the forum warning system, I'm glad it's being used, but the latest warning I received has me in a "moderator approved post" only mode where replies I make are not instantly available until approved. This is annoying, but I like the feature and I normally wouldn't be upset, but in the case of my latest warning, I don't think it was very justified..



First and foremost, yes I shitpost more than I should. I browse this forum because I'm bored and probably procrastinating something important. I don't actually play these servers anymore, because I don't enjoy video games that much. I've given up on helping out with anything because nothing actually gets done, to the fault of one rather slow link in the management process.. but at this point I'm mostly here to banter with fellow forum users and maybe throw some shade at some policies I don't like. Take that of what you like.



The warning in question was on this thread. The post is now deleted (if you are a donor you can see where it says it was deleted, matt pls fix), but it read:



Quote:he rdmed mee >:((((( -1 with community ban

+1 free this man


Obviously not the most serious reply, but it's a video game forum, not "gamer congress" as one guy put it. Being proper and stuck up about an unban request for killing three people doesn't sit well with me. Still, this post conveys my stance on his unban in a sarcastic but straightforward manner (i.e. my usual shtick of "Mass RDM permabans are dumb, please unban this person, I like them.) I do not have a problem with these kinds of threads being held to a higher quality standard for its posts, as long as it is outlined in the forum rules, and the policy is enforced uniformly. This is not done:



  1. Policy not in forum rules: The shitposting rule on the forums (what I was warned for violating in this case) states "Do not repost the same thread or reply to a thread with the intention of cluttering space or derailing a topic." I did not post to the thread with the intention to clutter or derail the thread. My post was obviously not that serious, but it did properly represent how I felt about his unban and the Mass RDM permaban policy, and I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't want him to be unbanned.
    I would, again, have no problem if "sillier" posts were not allowed in unban request threads, but that isn't mentioned in the forum rules other than making shitpost threads in important sections like the staff application section.

  2. Policy not enforced uniformly - See this image. This post is not deleted, and the poster was not warned for it, despite it containing the same message (i.e. please unban this person, I like them) as my post, which was warned. I do not think this is very fair. Furthermore, I made nearly the exact same post less than a month ago on a different unban request, which remains undeleted and I was not warned for posting it.

TL;DR I got warned for something that I don't really think I should have been warned for. I should tighten up a bit on the forums, because what ends up happening is I just refresh the main page endlessly out of habit and slowly lose my mind until I post something that's kinda funny. Need to find something else to endlessly refresh so my posts can become a bit higher quality on here..]]>

Forum/Discord Name: Uriel

Discord ID: Uriel#3015Uriel

Who Banned You: Sorry, I did not get this information.

Reason For Ban: Self - inflicted?

Length of Ban: Permanent

Reason for Admins to Unban: I have been playing more on the TTT servers, and I would like to become more active in the community again. I cannot check any of the forums posts, and I can't keep up to date with any news or changes. Also, since I am no longer a part of the discord, I cannot communicate with other players unless it is on the server. I have not caused any problems recently on TTT or within the community. I am sorry for any previous actions that may have offended anyone.

Have you been banned before(any of our platforms & Link relevant threads):
