Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Hello, peeps. I'm an ignorant soul, and I was futzing around with a pretend unix shell code in Buffistechnology. I was trying to do something with backslashes (and t tags , because I am a moron that way) and both backslashes and tags were stripped from the post. Tags I understand, but random backslashes? Are these forbidden characters for some reason?
To wit:
/////

What shows up? [edit: the above should look like mountains, or cross-stitches!]
Plasmo, brings up a good point. We circled around the banning process and came to a general consensus of warning, suspension, banning, but we didn't nail it down and make it specific. Which we should probably go ahead and do.
We also need to formalize who would decide that a warning was warranted (maybe a quick huddle of the admins?). Do we want more than one warning before suspension? If so, how many? At what point would the disciplinary process become public. I got a sense that people felt that warnings would be private, but that a suspension would be publically noted.
Would banning be something brought before the whole community for a vote, or automatic after somebody came back from a suspension and earned another warning. Would the ban be forever or for a year?
It might help to keep this discussion focused on just the protocol we want to use.
Not to nitpick - but shouldn't we move this to Bureucracy?
Well Ok, that is to nitpick...
Moved to B.
I have a little tiny technical question: Is the thread width different in different threads? Because I notice sometimes the MARK thing wraps under my name, and sometimes it doesn't.
Not an issue, just wondering if it's my imagination, or a quirk, or a feature, or what.
It'll also depend on the width of the time and the post numbers.
A-HA! I thought of user name width, but not the other stuff.
It all comes clear...
You know, I never wondered about the teeny details of the other boards like this.
I have a question. How hard would it be to force Beep Me to be the first thread read with Read New? As it is now, I hit Read New, go through Natter, and then get to Beep Me and the actual news.
No biggie, obviously. Just a thought.
I have a little tiny technical question: Is the thread width different in different threads? Because I notice sometimes the MARK thing wraps under my name, and sometimes it doesn't.
The thread width is variable depending upon the width of you browser window, but shouldn't vary from thread to thread.
edit: Yeah, what ita said.
Dana, it occurred to me that what I should do is just click Beep Me instead of Read New when I first get on.
(Of course, I haven't actually implemented this plan yet, but I did think of it.)
