Srethron Askvelhtnod: That totally makes sense. It would also be cool if say there was an automated system that would automaticly clean out the list, but let this only apply to users who have registered and have showed no signs of activity within say, 30 days? Just an example. Doing so would cost a tremendous amount of time, effort, and money. Being that as it may, this will only apply to new users, because, like you have mentioned before, we wouldn't want to lose members that were potential posters back in the day.

I've also been meaning to ask, what does your username mean? Sorry to be off-topic on this part.  :roll:
 
That more or less what he was talking about  drfeelgud88 >_>. There probably already exists a mod/custom script for SMF but as you said there would be no way to program it for such a "unique" community as I'd say at least half (or more) of those users are people who pop in with a question an leave...

I was more trying (or having an option to) stop abusing there PM privileges.

EDIT: If somebody could please explain (unless there is a mod to Qhimm site that auto logs in members of his choice) why ficedula profile current?...Can that guy r-e-ally be lurking around here for 5+ years without saying a word!!. Or fixing you web site? O_O

It meant I'm easy to find on the net, and I thought it sounded cool at the time.

I haven't messed around with SMF in a while, but the PM thing is probably solvable by adding a custom user rank that doesn't have PM permissions. It could be called Cycl0wned or something. ;)

The forum software says ficedula's still around in some capacity. I've got no reason to doubt it. His [url=http://sylphds.net/]site is still around (working just fine AFAIK, even if unmaintained). The link in his profile is just the wrong one.

Heh, there's no auto login script for people Qhimm tolerates more. Otherwise someone like dagsverre (hasn't logged in for the past 2-ish forum software switches) would be near the top of that list.
 
Yeah, if the forum is to be believed, Ficedula still lurks a bit every few months. I wouldn't doubt it.
 
You've got over 1000 posts. I don't think he meant you.

How many people register, but never post? Those are the ones Seif meant.

Oh, yeah, if he's just talking about people with 0 posts, that's cool. That's not the way I was understanding it, though.

Obviously, yes I was.  People on 0 or even very low numbers should be culled depending on last activity.

I whole heartidly agree with you there Dan.
It arouses suspicion.
 
Well i'm all up for the new mod team to have banning powers. I've been a mod and a admin of forums before and i know that at lest one mod should have banning power for times when the admin not around.
     But on a side note. I can understand where Qhimm coming from not to give out banning powers


As one uncle to his nephew once  "With great power comes great responsibility"

Or in the words of Jesus "To whom much has been given, much will be expected"

The new mod team have lived up to my exceptions
Keep up the good work for the Shinra ........ i mean the qhimm forums .... Yeah! ....
 
It has been done, all global moderators now have banning capabilities. Don't piss us off.
