Stop abusing the report to moderator feature!
this is the second time in the last 2 days that ive seen someone report a post that did not violate any forum rules. the purpose of the report to moderator feature is not meant to express your disagreement with someones post. its there to report spammers, bots, and (in extreme cases) flaming trolls. STOP ****ING AROUND!!!  :mad: :hopping:

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: Stop abusing the notify feature!
Nuke, are you sure they weren't related to this:

I'll quote karajorma on that one:

Yeah, those members are on karas watchlist, for this crime.  :P

It appears that some people are using a server that is blocked in China for image sigs. The result is that I can't see them.

If the sigs bother you though just report the user and anvils will drop on them from a great height.


Enjoy your sigs folks, they wont last long.  :P

Wait doesn't the notify button just notify you when someone replies to a thread?   The Report to moderator button is the one that sends a message to mods and admins.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.

Since law and order will be restored soon enough, what's the problem with us looting now?


Basically we had a real problem with bots. The solution to that problem was an emergency upgrade rather than a planned and carefully executed server crash outage upgrade. That doesn't mean that people should take advantage of the problem in order to do stupid **** that they know isn't allowed on HLP. People know damn well that HLP doesn't have image sigs. If people are stupid enough to try to take advantage of the situation and force me to manually remove their image sigs they can suffer the consequences.

Don't forget the 6px font size limit. That needs to be re-imposed as well.

I don't think careful execution of the upgrade would have been much better. There would still be some rough edges. The only difference I can see is that most of the rough edges would be sorted out before the upgrade.

Re: Stop abusing the report to moderator feature!
The kids were getting lonely and wanted to hear their mods (Gods) speak.  That's why they abused it...right?  ;7

Yep, must've been lonely during Christmas...alone, in that dark room with nothing but the chocolates, computer, and pop.  Our mods should be more considerate of our lonely members...show some luvvv groove  :wakka:
