How do I create my OWN redirect board? Im trying to link a page in my board but im not sure how.

Wayne · « **Reply #1 on:** December 16, 2013, 03:59:37 pm »

You don't

KarjamP · « **Reply #2 on:** December 16, 2013, 06:38:09 pm »

Only Shane and Taylor can.

Taylor · « **Reply #3 on:** December 16, 2013, 07:21:37 pm »

Even then, it's BOTH's decision.

And I say no.
I'm going to implement a special forum rule regarding requests of having redirect boards.

It is done.
+25 reputation is required before you will be allowed to ask for one Redirect Board.

Is the negative reputation subtracted from the positive reputation for this?

Waiting for a yes

Wayne · « **Reply #10 on:** December 21, 2013, 08:16:16 am »

No.
I believe it should be ADDED instead.

Probably?

For instance, Wayne has reputation "+99 -2".
If Wayne wasn't a Global Mod, he would have had 97 reputation for the purposes of the special rule. (Not sure if it applies to Global Mods.)
KarjamP would have had 54 reputation, then.

However, as global moderators, they have (as far as I know) permission to request redirect boards.

Wayne · « **Reply #12 on:** December 21, 2013, 12:49:24 pm »

If you substract -2 from 99, it becomes 101 instead.

That's why I said they should be added.

99 + (-2) = 97

F a t i h · « **Reply #13 on:** December 21, 2013, 02:52:42 pm »

make that 96

Wayne · « **Reply #14 on:** December 21, 2013, 03:28:17 pm »

Fatih, I swear I'm going to get rid of you if you don't learn how to use a forum. And even Shane won't stop me.

And I'll make sure he stays a member here by unbanning him.

Misunderstanding our tastes and what we do here doesn't mean he means harm, nor that he's necessarily breaking the rules of the forums.

Wayne · « **Reply #17 on:** December 21, 2013, 10:20:45 pm »

Not meaning to do harm doesn't mean not doing harm.

And I'm still not going to ban him, like I said in the other thread.

KarjamP · « **Reply #18 on:** December 21, 2013, 10:35:55 pm »

I'd only worry about punishing him if he's actually breaks the rules.

And even so, the only time he did is when after a rule was formed banning political memes here (either he didn't realise it or he forgot).

Just because he's doing harm doesn't mean he intends to.

I'd just warn him of the fact that what he's doing is wrong, and if he carries on after a few times (probably after two), disciplinary action can be taken.

Wayne · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2013, 10:40:47 pm »

To be honest, I gave him a warning...

For not knowing how to use a forum properly.

I'll now wait and see if he improves.

You DO know that he's on at least 6 forums, so that's not the case here? (Including the Cave Story Tribute Site forums. Yes, I found him there.)

More likely, he's making mistakes here.

F a t i h · « **Reply #21 on:** December 25, 2013, 12:07:45 am »

Oh yeah, that warning.

I don't even know if YOURE using a forum right.

Ask anyone

For being a n00b at forums

Is not even an okay reason

Not even close

Wayne · « **Reply #22 on:** December 25, 2013, 12:44:08 am »

I am not going to repeat myself.

+warning for Obama in the other thread

KarjamP · « **Reply #23 on:** December 25, 2013, 05:32:44 pm »

If you don't obey the rules, Fatih, you can lose privileges.

So stop disobeying.

Even I can show no mercy when needed.

And Wayne, cut that out.

Fatih has a point about you giving him warnings for not knowing how to use the forums correctly.

If this carries on, a staff discussion's needed.

Wayne · « **Reply #24 on:** December 25, 2013, 09:18:09 pm »

I gave him ONE FREAKING WARNING for not using the forums and you instantly jump on me. That was just a precaution.

And I gave him a warning for Obama now, so I'm following the rules.

Anything wrong?

KarjamP · « **Reply #25 on:** December 25, 2013, 09:50:37 pm »

I already knew you gave him warning points for the "Obama" thing.

And Wayne, common sense means we make sure that people who don't know how to use the forums are taught correctly, not punish them outright.

If they don't obey when they're taught correctly, then they can be punished.

On some sites, like TV Tropes, they don't ban the users but "suspend them for a chat" (ie, take away their privileges if they did some stuff against the rules so that they can explain to them what they did, and then give them back their privileges if it's obvious that it's a mistake and that they don't want to do it again). If they misbehave a couple of times after that, then the banhammer comes.

Wayne · « **Reply #26 on:** December 25, 2013, 10:14:30 pm »

You're right, KarjamP, but there's one thing: he claims he knows how to use a forum properly. Isn't that enough?

And before you say anything, I gave him warning for that only once, and I'm not going to repeat that action until he REALLY deserves it. But there's the time you come in...

KarjamP · « **Reply #27 on:** December 25, 2013, 11:10:53 pm »

I know he claimed that.

I was just saying.

Anyway, you know for next time.

I wasn't trying to get you into trouble or anything. I was just confronting you with a problem that may needed to be sorted out.

(Although I currently have admin privileges, I'm not willing to abuse it.)

Wayne · « **Reply #28 on:** December 26, 2013, 09:05:58 am »

OK.
I know what I have to do, because I learned through all my years on the Internet that nothing is really as easy as it looks like...

Ah, there's really no point now with continuing this discussion. See you next time.

F a t i h · « **Reply #29 on:** December 28, 2013, 09:40:29 pm »

That's the point

To block out the real n00bs

And to keep who can handle it

Ccase dismissed
