When I came back the other month, Josh told me about the new Veteran Member usergroup, and to bide my time until he'd sorted it out. We thought he'd fixed it ... but apparently not quite. I'm not bashing on him - it's probably just an overlook.

It was well known that threads were being deleted the other night, but I could not see them at all - no message left to say "Thread deleted by BustaMo." Looking back, I've not seen any moved-threads for a while, or any deleted posts. I was speaking to Warbourne not long ago and he mentioned that all he sees is deleted threads/posts in the FF sections.

I'd guess it's just a quick overlook in the set-up for the Veteran Member usergroup ... but with restricted ACP access, I'm not sure what you can do, Busta.

If it helps, it used to be under "Manage Usergroups."
 
Another fault with the Veteran member class was that once you reached it it removed you from the top ten posters list - which is why You riku, Tidus Blade and Gaaramaster were all removed from it - which i pointed out in the thread. but I pm'd busta about it once i caught on to what the fault was, and he fixed it - so he should be able to fix this problem too...
 
Hmmm... I'm pretty sure senior members aren't suppose to be able to see what was deleted and by who. That might be an error with their usergroup, not the veteran usergroup.
 
I'd always been able to see it before I'd shifted up to a Veteran, though. So, if it's a fault, it's been a fault since the beginning.

On that note, why aren't seniors supposed to see what's been deleted and whatnot?
 
Yeah, when I attained my senior status a while back, I automatically latched on to the fact that I could see what was deleted and by who.

I thought it {the ability to view them} came with the privilege of being senior members. :monster:

EDIT: Yeah, if it surely was, it must've been a fault for a long, long time.
 
...actually, come to think of it, I went straight from being a n00b, (I actually did see things back then - but that was over a year ago), to a Global Moderator, to a senior member, to a Moderator, to a Veteran Member. That'd explain why I'm having withdrawel symptoms.
 
lol Probably. Either way I'm not really 100% sure on the privileges given to the senior members but I would be stunned if you were actually suppose to be able to see deleted posts and threads. I know it was discussed that senior members and veteran members could see invisible members along with increased room in their PM box... but I never heard anything about seeing deleted posts.
 
I think somewhere along the lines, that thing about seeing invisible members got switched with seeing the deleted posts, 'cause we, I mean *I* (just in case), sure can't see any invisible members. xD
 
We cant SEE deleted posts and threads, but we can see who deleted them and why, which i noticed strraight away when i became a senior member. for example if you click on the FFVII section you can see threads which have a red box next to them, which if i hover over it tells me there 4 deleted posts, for example.
 
Neither can I. Looks like Veterans got the short straw and can't see either. I know Invisible Members are represented with a small asterix, right?

But seriously, why revoke the ability to see what's been deleted or not?
 
lol Yea, you don't have to describe it to me. I know what it looks like. :P But it is interesting. I'm pretty sure that's something Busta did then, cause I think we were the ones talking about it. I can't honestly recall though.
 
Eh, either someone's sorted it for Veteran's, or someone's playing funny cunts with my head, because I just saw a post that Aztec deleted - it was mine, however (and it was requested :P).

EDIT:
Nah, it's totally fixed now. Cheers to whoever fixed it ;)
 
I have been wondering what's up with that as well. I can't see invisible members either. =x
And I know there are times when other staffers are online when I can't see them.
 
Then maybe I'm wrong...
Sometimes when I'm in the SB, I see mods talking, but I don't see them online, even after I refresh the page. o.0
 
I get that sometimes too, especially with Shen. I'm not sure how she views FFF but it must be something peculiar because she can talk, I can see invisible people, and she won't show up sometimes.
 
Ok I should have it figured out here. Actually the only ones who should be able to see deletion notices are staff. However, the red boxes should still be able to be seen. Someone check to see if that's working or not...please?

As for the invisible mode, only Gmods and Admins can see whose invisible. It's been that way since I joined staff and Lady Aerith first told me about it. I might change that over to making all staff see who's invisible though here soon.

Click to expand...
Haha...there's a simple solution to that, really.

Posting in the shoutbox does not count as a forum action.

Since there is no refreshing or forum-browsing occurring while the page is just sitting there looking near the bottom of the page, the member is declared inactive and is removed from the list eventually.

So, that's why you can see me jabbering away in the shoutbox, yet see that I'm not online. :)
