Forum: About Mellophant

Chat and the board were not responsive. No other details. I am just using this thread as a log.

Is chat the enemy of posting? After chatting for the last few days (an enjoyable experience, I admit) I wonder if it isn't killing the boards here by providing an outlet that people would use instead of posting in some thread, or making their own...

Every other pageload, for me at least, has been plenty snappy, but the refreshes from chat take about as long as the window between them. It's getting sort of ridiculous; there's maybe a half-second window each cycle that you can actually submit a...

Ok, I have not made the switch to the chat code to make it vanilla, mainly because it does not appear to be affecting the people it was affecting. But the vanilla code is in place should it need to be switched. I suggest that when we next get...

Posted here so McNutty and others can post. NEXT WEEK: I think it might be worth while saving off our modded chat code and restoring the vanilla code. If it stops the lag and other issues, we can then try to apply just the Room 101 block code. ...

We had a big fight in chat this morning, with the players involved in the drama ignoring What Exit?'s repeated requests for them to take it out of chat and into the Thunderdome where it belonged. What is the take on a situation like this - do we...

Sorry for the short notice. I've been asked to reboot the server, so I'm going to do that in a few minutes. Apologies for the brief downtime.

tracert is the Trace Route command. It determines the routing from your computer to the server you are trying to hit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In...

Welcome again to the Domebo Mod team. Have you reviewed the PM with the Admin panel moderator's guide? Do you have any questions on the Mod panel, Admin panel or just how we are trying to moderate the board? Have you reviewed the Rules...

What Exit? The NSFW tag is downloading images for people who have images turned off, i.e me, and has already been used in the front chat window by Excalibur. I'm going to disable it until we can sort it out. Otherwise people will use it...

Due to sublight, our night watchman and representative from the Far East, stepping down recently, it was necessary to find a new moderator who could fill a similar role. AllWalker has kindly agreed to be our new, replacement moderator. Please...

This came up in chat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Exit? Jul23 9:46:55 Meanwhile, no one is posting here on Domebo except in chat. ...

A word on Moderator Discretion... It's impossible to forsee, name and categorize every single infraction possible, or the context of every situation requiring mod action. Likewise it's not possible to assign a standard punishment for any given...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I didn't see it in the FAQ. I tried to post a picture in the boobs thread but it gave me an error message. I was using http://enxstatic.com/images/adlt/simply ... 829746.jpg without the spaces. I made...

Each smiley has at least one code to create it. A : and 1 or more other characters. Below is all the current ones. Are there any other codes that should be added to do the same? Example, :LOL: should do :lol: :hoj: Happy Orthodox Jew ...

Over in NAF's thread in The Hive, What_Exit? said But on issues like dealing with trolls, we do need faster feedback. We should be able to at least make a decision within 24 hours I think. I'm in a weird position here--I post here some, I chat...

My house will be under construction beginning tomorrow morning, so my internet access will be limited to browsing on my phone. I'll be around, but won't be able to write much.

I thought it might be constructive to have members weigh in on this thread, which NAF started in the Hive. Before I make a comment, though, I would like to clarify one thing. During the chat discussion about sending the apology e-mails, at no...

He says we should be discouraging this type of post, I don't actually see why. It was a silly hijack, but the boards should be more fun. I don't have a problem with it. Anyone else? (No, I do not plan on starting one of these for every...

We have a proposal for a new sock rule that Zuul (There is no Caerie, there is only Zuul) and I liked: On Socks: We don't care. Go nuts. If your sock attacks people, we'll box it. If your sock is too disruptive, we'll ban it. Make enough...

If you have a record of the purged names, it might not be a bad idea to look for the ones who are SDMB members, and for CRSP to e-mail them to apologize and invite them back.

First, I want to say how much I appreciate the work pepperlandgirl is doing on the front page! If we want to make our membership grow, I think she is definitely taking us in the right direction. If we really want to make it effective, though,...

Right now the front page and the message board are very separated. In fact, I'm sure there are people who don't even know the front page has been updated in the past few weeks (or will be aware when I update it next week). Not only are people...

It wasn't an "administrative error." It was intentional for reasons that have yet to be fully explained. I don't believe the partial explanation. What is the purpose of cleaning out old spam accounts by deleting them? They've already been banned...

As requested, here's a current list of all administrators and moderators: Administrators: admin (CRSP) Technical Staff: McNutty CRSP What Exit? CatInASuit

I ? maps, so here's the DoMeBo Map. Who wants in? This is via request only. I won't be looking through the members list to start pulling locations. I can also include pictures, whether it's your avatar or another one you'd like me to link to. ...

The Board would like to apologise for the following problem. Due to an administrative error while clearing out old spam and bot accounts, several valid accounts with zero or one posts were deleted at the same time. We would invite you to...

......? ETA: And all members with post counts of 1.

It was caught early but several PMs went out and we do not have a tool to delete all of them.

We would have liked to leave images on for PMs but I disabled them right after the tubgirl attack. This and the mod election leads me to a proposal to beat around and a non-binding poll. I'm thinking of a two tier system where users are...

Please point me to any good posts made on the boards that would be a good basis for a short article, like what's currently on the front page. Also, if you would like to volunteer an article, then please get in contact with me via PM.

What is that list of names over there on the right, and why does it differ from the "Who is online" list on the index page? The online list for chat shows those members who have the chat window or the index page open (or who have recently had one...

All About the Domebo Front Page! Improve Your Mind, Improve Your Life, Improve Your World! Goal: My goal is to turn the front page into a place that reflects that varied interests and hobbies that are already present on the message board. A few...

I think that there should just be one rule - "don't be a jerk". Other rules may need to be implemented as the need arises, but I sure can't forsee any.

Please bookmark this anyone that does not want to see chat or take a chance or use this at work vs. home. http://domebo.net/forum/IndexNoChat.php I am still fixing it, but Chat is blocked already in this link. I will clean it up more. So...

I'm not sure if these are frequently asked out loud, but there's at least one I haven't figured out yet and I've been too embarrassed of my technical skills to ask. ;) As long as nothing else more important requires the space, it might be nice to...

Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes. Pretty self-explanatory I think. Obviously this is a matter of the highest important and must be answered immediately.

Caerie started a thread in the Hive about the appropriate response to trolling, and since I still have thoughts on the matter, I thought I would start this thread here. For what it's worth, I don't think that there should be two extremes of...

I would include a warning there that (unless it's been fixed) there's nothing to stop someone from posting NSFW pictures in chat, so if a troll wants to be obnoxious, you can get in trouble if you have a chat window open at work.

I created this Flaubert's Dirty SOCK account because I want some good advice about a delicate personal family situation which is too dificult for me to use my regular username for. I was a member at SDMB and came over here when Domebo was started,...

The rest of the style layout is very subdued but Domehead draws the eye and is incongruent to the style. I wish to kill him just for me. Others might feel the same. Does anyone have a simple solution? It seems silly for me to ask this, but I...

Triggered by this hive thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3510 Let me explain something that has, apparently, eluded much of the moderatorial staff. I will try to use short enough words that you can understand this, although in truth I'm not sure any...

I read this at the snackpit, so I don't know how accurate it is :dub: , but in there they are claiming that What Exit? said in chat that y'all need a second tech because he can't keep up. I'm willing to help. What's involved? Where would I send...

Color Testing: Blue Green Pu Ye Cy Or Gray Test color=Blue Cool that works! color=purple color=Gray color=Cyan

I approve of this new-fangled 7 forum business, cos now I have a more realistic chance of having my name as the last post in every forum. And when that happens, fear ye all, for a great pestilence will fall upon the earth and there will be much...

viewtopic.php?p=79481#p79481 You want to stick him in Room 101 for hypothetical actions he might take in the future? Some of the mods were asking for examples of actions / discussions that are evidence of high-handedness. Here's one. Let me be...

What happened to QED's "I'm Back" thread in Room 101? Why was he 101 restricted? I know he left in a huff. Did he do something that I missed? Is he now banned? Are was it all just a mistake? Enquiring minds want to know.
