@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

Cleanup In Aisle 10...
« on: September 12, 2003, 11:59:23 pm »
I'm doing a little housecleaning this weekend.

* Anyone who hasn't activivated their account by Sunday night will have it deleted.

* I just deleted all of the user accounts with zero posts.  If you want to be a member, you must post.  You do not have to be a member to lurk, however.

* You may not have more than one account.  I'm going to run a script on Sunday night that looks for more than one user posting from the same IP.

Any IPs that meet this criteria, that IP will be blocked.

IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON POSTS HERE FROM THE SAME PC YOU MUST MESSAGE ME USING A "PM" IN ORDER TO NOT BE BANNED.

Also, let me know if you accidentally have more than one account, or made another one to change user names, let me know that, too.

* Users who consistently post in the obviously wrong forum section will be denied the ability to post new threads.  This is a new feature that I have just added-on to the board.  JL and I are the sole arbiters of what is and isn't appropriate.

I'm getting very very tired of moving threads.

Basically, I have a very low tolerance of people who make extra work for me.  It's so easy to ban people with the new plugins - just a little click of a button - so when I weigh "easy" versus "annoying busy-work" GUESS WHICH ONE WINS?

I don't want to be the totalitatian dictator, but I don't want to waste time keeping this shizzle in order, either.

I'm willing to amend any of the above policies if anyone can post a good reason for not implementing any of the above.

I'm guessing you mean consistently. Since dial-up users (especially AOL) could have this problem at random.

If I discover that dialup users have the same IP address, it'll pretty much mean that you live within blocks of each other.  

In that unlikely possibility, I will introduce one member to the other so that you can go have a drink together or something.

True, while I am a dialup (ack) user, I suspect no one who views this board lives withiin 100 miles of me...

I gave people an extra day to fess up before they will no longer be able to even READ this web site (or actually, any site on this server).

There are three of you!

Oh, come now.  Don't ban them yet.  Not everybody checks in here daily, or even weekly.  *Especially* the lurkers.

I wondered where those twenty-or-so members went. I looked at the membership total, and I knew we had recently cracked 100. Then when I saw our total at about 85, I wondered what had happened. I thought I had confused this board with some other that has 100 members.

A lot of large boards simply require a log-in every 30 days. We could try that deleting people that way.

A one-month cutoff is a little harsh. I have binges that last that long. How about two or three months?

why would people need to be deleted anyway?  surely if they're not even posting they can't be taking up too much web space or anything . . . where's the harm?

It doesn't really matter when there are only 100 members, but if there were a lot more than that the membership directory can get a little loaded with people who aren't really "members" in the traditional sense.

Hooray for David.  Come on, people.  I used to be a lurker and now I moderate a forum hardly any one posts on.  Aren't you all inspired by us now?

Hey, Jough - thanks for not banning me. I often don't check from work, and if I'm on vacation (which happens several times a year) I never check.

Uh oh! Nice Jough had better watch out before regular Jough's script singles you out and our beloved admin accidently bans himself.
