Suggestions & Concerns / Suggestion: Adjust Rule 5 to reflect new forum structure

« on: May 02, 2019, 05:36:29 PM »

5. Post in the appropriate forum

Read each forum's description and ask yourself if your thread fits. Have a question about Flat Earth Theory? Post it in Flat Earth Q&A. Want to talk about Breaking Bad? That goes in Arts & Entertainment. Have casual discussion in The Lounge and rant about how your day went in Angry Ranting. If you have a suggestion or a concern to do with the forum, such as possible improvements or bugs, post it in Suggestions & Concerns—we'd appreciate it! See? That wasn't so hard.

[emphasis mine]

Hopefully a straight-forward one: I propose that we should make a minor adjustment to the body of rule 5 to no longer refer to "Flat Earth Q&A". Given that there is some occasional confusion about the upper fora's respective purposes (and, anecdotally, it doesn't look like everyone is reading the "read before posting" threads before posting), we could consider going further and providing a short description of each board directly in the rule, providing links to the extended descriptions.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Philosophy dichotomy test

« on: April 30, 2019, 05:25:42 PM »

You know the drill, lads. I found a random survey on the Internet, so I'm starting a thread for everyone to fill it in and post screenshots. We can then insult each other for having the wrong philosophical views.

Link: http://dichotomytests.com/test.html?id=0

My results:



Philosophies: Aristotelianism, Objectivism, Hobbesian

Status Notices / [12/04/2019] Changes to avatar upload functionality

« on: April 12, 2019, 10:25:37 PM »

As of today, we have revised the way avatar uploads work on the forum. Without going into too much detail, this means that resized images should be of slightly higher quality, and animated GIF avatars should now work correctly.

As per usual, do let us know if anything seems to be broken.

Suggestions & Concerns / Make warning templates great again [or for the first time, as the case may be]

« on: March 01, 2019, 09:33:01 PM »

It's no secret that your generic warning templates are unpopular with users. The mods get to pick between "spamming", "insulting members/staff" and "posting offensive material", none of which are particularly relevant for most warnings issued around here.

It is my intention to fix those at some point, but admittedly it's a low-priority task for me - I don't get much TFES development time in these days, and there are more important issues to resolve, at least from my perspective. The alternative is to accept contributions from the community, which we're always keen on. Since AATW has kindly volunteered to help, I'm opening this thread to describe the process and to accept any potential submissions

If you'd like to submit a template for us to incorporate, please write a short paragraph per offence following the rough format of:

{MEMBER},

You have received a warning for inappropriate activity. Please cease these activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action.

{REGARDS}

You may use the following tags:

• {MEMBER} - Member Name.
• {MESSAGE} - Link to Offending Post. (If Applicable)
• {FORUMNAME} - Forum Name.
• {SCRIPTURL} - Web address of forum.
• {REGARDS} - Standard email sign-off.
• and any standard BBCode that you would in a post

Any template that uses {MESSAGE} will only be available if the offending message is being properly linked against. This can be a bit awkward to do, especially on mobile, so it would be preferable if it was easy to edit out from the final product.

As a reminder, the rules can be found here. We'd probably need one generic template per rule, and perhaps a few more specific ones for common offences (e.g. "hi, it looks like you're angrily ranting outside of angry ranting. If you want to express yourself, that's fine, but please do so in the designated thunderdome".

If you choose to contribute, thanks! If not, I'll get around to it myself eventually.
