    Dealing with internet trolls?

    My best bit of advice is to just ignore them. No point in trying anything with them as that will only aggravate them even more and make them cause even more chaos. Your best bet here is to just keep ignoring them.

    Warnings / Infractions

    I completely let power go to my head this weekend, and this is something I've never done before and hopefully it won't be happening again. I misread how a moderator had worded something in our staff lounge and infracted him for it! I felt really guilty about this and I made apologies both to...

    Using wikipedia descriptions

    Fullmoon, if you really take a look at our posts, what we're saying is all facts. No one wants to read something that's simply been copied/pasted from some news source, although it's an entirely different story if you're on a forum with a News section. When you give your opinion or your giving...

    Using wikipedia descriptions

    I actually agree with this, Jazzy. I mean, it's okay if you want to use something from a source like Wikipedia every now and again, like if you seriously have a hard time comprehending something, but I'm sure the requester in general really wants you to say what's really on your mind about the...

    Arguments

    Just staff posting and no members? I can picture this if it were a brand-new forum, but for a forum that's been around for a while like that, that does sound pretty desperate if you ask me.

    Mother caused rickets in daughter

    I guess there is such a thing as overdoing it with sunscreen! I thought the higher the SPF (or whatever that's called) the better off you were with protection. Evidently while that may be true, like with any other medications, there are always risks involved when using them.

    Biggest frustration?

    I know. My biggest pet peeve is going to submit a post, and you get that babble that you must wait so many minutes or seconds before you can make another post. This especially pisses me off if I don't have time to wait around all day to be able to submit just one post. To be perfectly honest...

    Australia floods: teenagers use blow-up doll as flotation device

    I'm not surprised that they got told off by the police. Some things like that are only meant for swimming pool toys, not exactly flood current life savors.

    Biggest frustration?

    I agree about the flood control! And MyBB has this by default! So usually right when I find this out is I automatically make a feedback thread asking if they can at least lower the waiting time between posts if nothing else. Not everyone has time to post on a forum all day, so flood control can...

    Biggest frustration?

    Trying to come up with new topics more than anything, and that's both as a staff member and as a user!

    The Olvusulthian Nation

    Thanks for reminding me about this forum Evil Eye! I totally forgot about this! I have resigned in and have bookmarked this site.

    How often?

    I haven't really had to do too much of that since my forum opened last August (2010). But I know when we did first open up, I swear I spent more time cleaning out spam posts by actual human spammers than any actual posting about on the board. Every time I'd make a new post, I'd turn around only...

    Classroom revolution: A-level students could sit exams earlier

    Clearing... is that kind of like a waiting list or what is that exactly? I read that part and the first thing I thought of was a waiting list.

    Posting While Impaired

    Dolt! I never even thought of that. That would actually be a better idea. Put them on Mod Queue until they get back to normal, then once they prove they can start posting properly again, or how they were posting before they drank, then they'd be taken off it.

    EXCLUSIVE!!! FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

    I had a feeling this is a load of crap. That would be crazy! I know there was one site someone gave me a while back where you can check if stories like this were true or not, but I can't remember the link. I think it was snopes.com or something along those lines.

    Happy 10th anniversary of WIKIPEDIA!!!

    I've used Wikipedia a fair few times, but I had no idea that the site was only ten years old! Congratulations to them!

    Classroom revolution: A-level students could sit exams earlier

    To bad we didn't have something like this when I was in school. Actually, we don't that I know of. It would've been nice to have though, as when you're researching for what colleges you might be interested in attending, one of the things the college wants to know (I think) is your grade point...

    Mass Email

    I hate those, WE MISS YOU emails. What if I only joined the forum out of sheer interest but I no longer have interest in it? They can't make me come back. I will go back when I feel like it. 9 times out of ten they usually get deleted anyways. The only time I don't mind getting a WE MISS YOU...

    Posting While Impaired

    Well, I think it's one thing if a members' posts didn't make sense from the start, like if English wasn't their first language or whatever. However, I'd be pretty suspicious if it was someone I knew who was generally a good poster and all of a sudden they started doing posts that didn't make any...
