Finished with step 1 in the process of revamping the pip system. It still uses stars, though the quantities and variations are being transformed into a hybrid of the current system and what AGN used to have. They are far more varied, essentially.
All forums are visible to everyone at the start, including General Bitching. Someone was saying that this was intentional, but I don't believe it. :/ Can the permission groups be fixed?
I'm not sure how CAD intended to set up the permissions, so for now I've cleaned up the permissions to be more consistent until he gets back:
- Unregistered, unconfirmed, and new users can view all public forums except GB but can't post,
- Except that new users can post replies in Welcome to AGN.
I don't think there's a need to lock down any forums besides GB
Considering that General Bitching may have contributed to AGN's previous member turnover (who am I kidding: it did), it would be pretty important to prioritize a permission on this one. Currently any full member can interact with it. :/
EDIT: additionally, there are some other inquiries I have, mostly relating to the factors of AGN's previous downfall(s):
We have measures in place for the adbots, but what about hacking? Can the members of the board expect some protection against this? I'd hate to see the things that led to AGN's inactivity rear their ugly heads again.
Oh, and were threads in the infraction tracker supposed to be open to additional posting? :/

GB used to have a post requirement. I think it was only accessible once a user acquired 100 posts so by then they were more familiar with AGN as a whole. Should something like that be used again?
That sounds pretty damn good. Although, I'm wondering if 100 is enough...
I was going to suggest adding words to the dictionary for spell checking, but then I found I can right-click a word and add it. So now I'm wondering if it's board specific, or something that's stored on my computer.

It may also be browser specific. Firefox (I think) and Chrome (I know) check spelling nicely when you type in any form when using the browser.Originally Posted by Xyvol
I made it impossible to see all the rest so that there would be no confusion on why they couldn't post. This works too though since I made that thread force read anyways.I'm not sure how CAD intended to set up the permissions, so for now I've cleaned up the permissions to be more consistent until he gets back:

And yes, all forums are public now due to increased activity. Individual members can be blocked out of GB with necessity through forum masks.
As far as hacks, weekly backups are being made. That frequency will probably increase when I get home. Other than that, once I get access, we will stay on top of keeping the forum software up to date. That should at least help.
