The Flood / Adsense is Nonsense
« on: September 30, 2014, 08:44:22 PM »
If you haven't already read, check out this thread.

Adsense gave us 3 days to clean up our act or else we stop getting ads. I say...I'm not going to play their game. We're going to try out a new ad provider, which I've already applied for, and this means a few things for you guys here in The Flood.

1. Porn is banned. Even in spoilers. I'd consider all NSFW content gone too, at least for the transitional period.

2. Excessively crude language is gone, especially slurs. Cursing is still OK, but please take care how you post, because we need some kind of ad service to support these forums.

Everything else that's required, we already have banned. So what I need you all to do is report any NSFW content that you run into over the next few days. You won't be banned for it, but it does need to go away.

Spoiler
Anarchy is still untouched; we just won't have any ads there and there might be some kind of mod approval process to get in next time.

News / Adsense Gave Us A Warning
« on: September 30, 2014, 07:21:02 PM »
I just got the email today that basically said to remove all ads from pages containing any of the following:

  • erotic stories or descriptions of sexual acts
  • sexual jokes
  • erotic or sexual forums
  • sexual or profane terms in the URL
  • crude language or excessive amounts of profanity

So we're in some deep shit, since I'm not a fan of restricting your language (the nudity will have to go, though, for those of you posting in the thread in The Flood). We have 3 days to resolve the issue or they'll stop serving us ads and leave us up a creek.

I suppose I'll start looking for some alternatives while thinking about how to get out of this jam.

EDIT: Guys, I need everyone to start reporting posts that contain nudity and porn. You won't be banned for the content that is reported, but the images and links need to be taken out.

EDIT: I've disabled thread replies from being viewed by guests. This should help us keep our advertisements; just make sure to make the OP relatively clean, guys.

The Flood / Favorite "Found Footage" Movie?
« on: September 27, 2014, 09:55:15 PM »
I know a lot of people don't like the whole "shaky-cam" method of film, but if you do happen to enjoy them, what are your favorites?

Mine:

1. The Blair Witch Project
2. Chronicle
3. Cloverfield

News / New Mods
« on: September 26, 2014, 10:42:41 PM »
Mr Psychologist and Lord Commissar have both been promoted to Ninja status and their posts are now a hot orange color (ok, it's really more of a salmon, but come on).

They're not Master Forum Ninjas, like the original trio that you're probably familiar with. Forum Ninjas cannot ban, but they can most certainly mute other members temporarily with the new warning system. They're also afforded lock, sticky, move, and delete powers.

I'm out.

The Flood / Warning System Turned On
« on: September 26, 2014, 05:40:13 PM »
I've just set up a warning system for the Ninjas to use instead of outright banning misbehaving members. It's got varying flavors of "Fuck off" including verbal warning, post moderation, and post mute. These states decay over time and cannot be set permanently, so breathe a bit easier.

If you happen to get warned, you may or may not receive an automated PM with the reasons for your warning/restriction. I don't have it set up to have Disembodied Soul sending the PM, but I am working on that and hope to have it functioning in the near future.

Cheers.

News / Vote for Nameplates!
« on: September 18, 2014, 03:12:34 PM »
2 to 3 new nameplates will be added.

Splash of Color
Enjoy Your 3 Month Ban
Aw Shit Son!
Luck of the Irish
Wanna Get High?
Below the Radar
Fight the Powah
Linktacular
DMR
Assault Rifle
All-Star
ODST
Halo CE
Halo 2
Halo 3
Spartan
Halo
Marathon

I'm adding this one automatically as an unlockable plate. It'll probably replace both Binary and Test Subject (I will combine them). Neo'll get this one, too, since he came up with the idea.

The Flood / iwhbyd.net (have I shown you guys this?)
« on: September 17, 2014, 09:51:23 PM »
IWHBYD.net

It's another one of my programming projects that I whipped up in a weekend. Basically, it shortens URLs and allows you to create text-based web pages (go to the site and click custom page at the bottom).

If blinding white isn't your speed and you want to use the site to post your fanfic to or something, then go edit your page and enter in cheatyinyang into the URL field. As long as your password is correct, when the page refreshes you'll have a nice dark color to work with.

Just something for you guys to chew on if you'd like. I'd also like some suggestions/bug reports as well.

The Flood / Bluehost Support likes this forum
« on: September 17, 2014, 08:15:13 PM »
I just got an email back from support about the issue with the slow load times and the error message that I thought I had to share with you guys (in part). I'm not experiencing the error anymore and the load times are back to a reasonable speed, so I thought I should share it with you.

Thank you for contacting support,

First off, nice looking forum.  I was able to get a small reprieve from work by enjoying the content of your forums for a few minutes while testing the load times and speed.  Everything seemed find from this end. I will say that because of the server issues we were experiencing it very well could still be related to that.  If the issues are not cleared up by tomorrow we can continue to look into this further.  One of the best ways to get something resolved, if our call queues are not too high, is to call in and speak to a live technician when you see these problems occurring.  If you can see these problems, there is a high possibility you will not be the only one they are happening for.  If our technician sees the problem they will be able to trouble shoot further.  Again, since we did have an issue with the servers I would give it a little more time to see if it returns to normal, as that may be all the trouble shooting needed.  I work tomorrow, and if this is not taken care of by the afternoon, when I work, I will personally look into this for you further.  (I am also going to check out Fate/Zero as I am genuinely interested to find new things to watch)

Have a great day, and hopefully everything will be fixed soon.

So thanks for writing that review up, Yutaka. The review thing is working!

The Flood / Where're the articles at, guys?
« on: September 17, 2014, 05:36:27 PM »
You have a game, movie, tv show, or other kind of review? How about an article on something interesting? Submit the link to it here or simply post it in a new thread and tell me about it.

If it's good, it'll be moved to "News" and be on the front page. Make sure you include an image so your topic stands out.

News / Nominate Nameplates for Deletion
« on: September 16, 2014, 04:30:02 PM »
Before we vote in some new nameplates (including those awesome Reach ones) we need to clean house a bit and purge the old, underused plates to make things a bit nicer to look at in your nameplate inventory.

So we'll be voting on about 5 or so nameplates to be removed. Please click here and check out the nameplates we have. Some of them are not public plates (admin, mod, pestilence, etc.) and others are unlockable or are otherwise important (ditto, sep7agon, etc.) and are not up for vote.

Once you have picked a few plates (2 or 3) you'd like to see gone, post them here.

Click the "Sep7agon" banner up at the top and you'll see the brand new additions to the forum. Posts are pulled from the Updates board (soon to be renamed News to match with the top menu) and previewed for all to see when they arrive on our shores.

Soon we'll start accepting reviews, news articles, and other good reads. For now, just sit back and pardon the sawdust while I make this bitch fit correctly. 8)

News / Slow site is a known issue
« on: September 15, 2014, 01:29:07 PM »
I've submitted a ticket to my host about the sudden slowness of the forum (it can get horribly slow) and I should hear back within 24 hours. By then the problem might be fixed, but whatever...

I also included the error message I've been seeing a few times.
Spoiler
an error occurred while processing this directive
If you've seen this message, let me know here (along with what you were doing and how often it has occurred.

UPDATE: From Bluehost:

Hello! My name is Cameron.
I apologize for the inconvenience but there is currently an issue with the server itself. Our administrators are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Currently, the admins do not have an exact ETA, but these issues are generally resolved within 15-45 min.

The Flood / Just a little joke
« on: September 14, 2014, 12:16:37 AM »
Comms never had any admin powers. I just swapped our titlebar colors around for a little entertainment.

Sorry for any therapy that is needed, by the way. I meant no permanent harm, I promise. ;D

The Flood / DeeJ Has a Bad Day
« on: September 13, 2014, 08:38:53 PM »
Have you guys seen this? I promise you that the screenshot is legitimate; I've only cropped it.



For Context
This guy complained in #­gaming that the forum was overflowing with Destiny posts, which was kind of stupid considering #­gaming is for every game besides Destiny. The thread complaining about the Destiny threads was moved to #Community, and the complainer basically went rampant and called the Ninjas incompetent for moving his one thread but not doing anything about the Destiny overload.

And then DeeJ banned him (or at least everyone assumes it was DeeJ).

The Flood / Asexual Discussion
« on: September 12, 2014, 01:25:05 AM »
Nah. Count me out and let someone else have the fun.

Spoiler
I'm asexual, anyway.
Asexual as in "I'm a butthurt fedora-wearer and I'm trying to repress my urges" or actually asexual?
Let me try this...hold on.

>Is 22
>Doesn't want to fuck anyone
>Ever.


EDIT: Split the topic so we don't derail the thread. I suppose this could be an AMA or something.

The Flood / Merge Gaming with The Flood?
« on: September 10, 2014, 10:32:24 PM »
Gaming's population is very weak (less than Serious, and Serious was added a bit after the other boards), so should we just obliterate the board and move all the threads into this one? I just want to see where everyone stands on this; comments are helpful.

Note: An official Destiny thread could be pinned here to limit "Desticles" from encroaching on your space if this happens.
