I just realized, that as admins, we shouldn't ENUF anyone.
My God, that is taking one for the team. I salute you.
I really wish that there could be precisely one rule, and it would be Don't Be A Jerk.
Pity the world doesn't work that way.

I just realized, that as admins, we shouldn't ENUF anyone.
Speaking as one admin, I've never felt the need to enuf anyone on any board, but that's just my temperment. I let those losers slide right past me. I know I'm a freak and understand why others admins would be frustrated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd never really thought about it. But I mean as a coding thing, admins should not be offered the ENUF option.
Can we prioritise the outstanding requests?
Jon -- you have copies of your code, right? I want to rollback our test site to a current version of the standard site so the changes can be evaluated in test one by one.
And I'll get back on seeing if we can host CVS at buffistas.org.

Yes. Just give me a warning once you roll back.

I'll roll back some time this weekend.

Random piece of information: alicelizard is the 200th new user we've added since Joss posted.
I'm feeling an odd sort of sisterly pride here.
Me: See, you are user number 568. And I am user number 61. That means I am taller than you.
Her: You are already taller than me.
Me: But now it's official.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
One thing I'd like to see, as an admin, is the ability to search the user list by e-mail address, because the folks who e-mail asking us to reset the password always seem to forget to mention their user name. This means they're impossible to track down, unless you happen to recognize the e-mail address.

DX, there's unimplemented code by Jon B that shows every e-mail address. It'll do, but I think we should code a search function, not least of all because I have an allergy to lists of indeterminate length.

I understand the worry from an aesthetic point of view, but from a practical point of view, until we have several thousand registered users, it's not something I'm concerned about.
And yes I realize we could get there in a few months at the rate we're going...

If you give me a screen, I can write the code. The admin section is already ugly enough -- I think we should go with best practices for now.
The SQL is simple enough.
