Mint currently has twelve threads on the first page of Forum Axe.

Could we please tweak the pruning mechanism to wait one more day before it chops out topics?

[Shiren the Launderer]

It would be easier to ban Mint.

[Persona-sama]

Or have a limit on how many new threads can be made by a single poster a day.

Or just mint.

I would ban him because he is bringing everyone's forum axe experience down.

Or winkerban him.

"spinach, you have to stop him! He's out of control!"

"You're a renegade, Persona! You're way off the compound!"

"Mr. Persona, I hold you in contempt!"
"No judge, I hold you in contempt!"

"Persona, I can't have your back on this one."
"Don't you worry about me, spinach. I'm my own man, now."

"But you can't!"
"I just did!"

"That's right commissioner, keep your hands nice and clean! But don't you ever forget that I'm out there--for all of you, so you can tuck your kids in at night without staining the sheets. What I do with these hands.... My sins are your sins--societies sins! You create a problem and I am the solution! You ask a question, and I am the answer!"

This summer. Shit. Gets. Done.

"PERSOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[108]

can we have some function that lets me ignore certain posters?

like, make it so i am unable to see their posts and any quotes of their posts, nor would i be able to see threads created by them.

also, this website be fucking slow.

yeah, it's hot, birdcloud! right in time too, because things been getting super slow (anecdotally), and I've been getting a lot of "500"s.

also, thanks for the Quick Quote!

[birdcloud]

Another optimization I'm trying: there are two session tables in the database that check your cookies, keep you logged in, make sure you're who you say you are, so on. Both are searched when loading any page. One is updated to every minute, and the other is updated every single refresh. Updating locks the whole table, and the frequency and ubiquity of this event may be the cause of long stalls just trying to bring up the main page. THEREFORE I've changed the sessions tables to use the MEMORY engine. They'll be kept in RAM (appropriate to their transient nature) and never have to read or write to disk, which is much much faster and should hopefully smooth things out a bit.

Honestly, ignore features are part of the reason why we're so miserable in the 21st century.

But in mint's case, I'll make an exception. That cunt is so fucking annoying. Bye bye mint! Forever!

[psiga]

Although I'm not really part of the uber-vocal so-and-so being awful brigade, I'm testing it out anyway. I'll use Chup here as the target dummy.

What if I don't want to see the threads that he starts? For example, I might not ever want to see if he decides to make a thread all like "I just threw up on a puppy. And that's the good news."

Also I notice that it still shows him in quotes. Perhaps quotes of him should be spoiler-tag hidden?

Also I notice that it's still showing his name when he has posted at all; so, like the sticky thread in General about how to properly embed a youtube file is still showing him as the last person to post in the thread. I don't really care about the reply count, but what if I'd like to just imagine that he doesn't post at all?


On that note, if you aren't clogged up with to-dos already, would it be possible to make it so we can embed youtube videos without having to manually clip the <param> stuff? I presume that there were some security issues involved, so it might not be worth the trouble. It would just be kinda nice.

Thank you thank you, either way.

the ignore feature is actually somewhat problematic for really large threads.

[shnozlak]

if it causes you a problem dont use it.

Thanks Birdcloud!

Yeah, there are threads where someone has posted who's not on my ignore list, but it gives me the "All posts that would be displayed for this page are by users you are ignoring." message anyway.

[HarveyQ]

Zebadayus can't read this post

birdcloud this feature is a really bad idea and will only encourage the tendencies of certain cliques and destroys any remaining pretenses of maturity and civility on the forum.

Keep up the good work.

[Lick Meth]

I think that the ignore feature is a bad idea, because there's not enough people on the forum to "support" such a system; e.g., if the (few) prolific posters ignore other prolific posters, there could be repeat posts and ideas put forward in some weird space of confusion.

Also I rethink my stance on potions and wish for them again.
