I'm tired of seeing permissions abused. In the past few days, every time I look around, the SB is being pruned, the notices are being messed with, shouts are being edited. To be quite frank, it's bullshit and we really shouldn't have to put up with it.

Just because it's the shoutbox doesn't make it an action of smaller importance.
 
How is pruning the shoutbox an 'abuse' of power? Does it really matter how often it's done? Big deal, something you said 5 hours ago has been deleted. So?

I imagine this'll be closed for being a dupe thread, too xD
 
To be honest, it's not much of a bother to me. It doesn't get in the way of actually using the shoutbox. The constant notices is a slight annoyance, but that's all.
I do agree with the title of the thread; the shoutbox should be a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT. But we've been through this before...
 
Mod's shouldn't be editing other people's shouts unless it's genuinely funny or if a post breaks the rules. Pruning is completely unnecessary unless the forum is being spammed, so I don't know what's up with that.

Honestly though, this is a pretty minor thing to be complaining about.

It's so ridiculous that you can even call it "Power". :P


Yes, it does matter. I personally like to snoop around in the SB archives to find links to things I may have posted up and don't have link anymore. But it's always been pruned whenever I go and look for it.

And I've taken notice to the fact that it's not been pruned as often since yesterday.

And yes, it may be minor but it's the small things in E-Life that count. :monster:
 
There is an option to set it to auto-prune after a given amount of time. That could work.
I think Busta set it to auto-prune after 5000 shouts though...

It's so ridiculous you're complaining about it, regardless of what you call it xD

You know, you could just like ... do something else instead xD
 
...or, we could just go back to having only me, Darkblade, and Belazor being able to use any ShoutBox commands.

Let's keep the nonsense and annoying pranks on the down low in the SB from now on guys. The SB is suppose to be enjoyable, not annoying.

Don't make me start bust'n heads around here...
 
some makes crazy notices on the SB oh man
and yah its supposed to be for fun :)
just make the moderators and the administrators be in charge on putting notices in the SB.....Adamant is the one making crazy notices XD
 
I have no problem with the notices at all if they are for harmless fun, but editing and deleting so many posts like what happened last night and junk, it just made the SB more of a nuisance than an enjoyable feature.
 
well most of us got annoyed last night and then thank goodness he stopped doing stupid notices
 
That was only because i kept removing them :dry:

But, if you're honestly suggesting Derek that only admins should get Sbox powers i'd have to advise against it. we need it to quell any arguments and stuff that could break out.

As for the notices/pruning - well the noveltys wore off now...so it won't happen as often.

and editing/posts - personally i've never done it (Except to get rid of Edea blue font but thats a joke between us) and when the shoutbox goes through those spacktarded incidents like earlier today.

No, I am not suggesting that. I am just complaining about how craptastic things have been since the permissions were given. D: <

Including me, the biggest inserter of homosexual innuendos of the entire shoutbox, in the "in" crowd... :P

What is night for you is like 4 AM for me so I doubt Im the one mentioned in this quote, but meh XD


If you want something to reference for later, post it in the spam section. You are completely allowed to post a thread in there to save a link or somesuch for future reference, and it won't be edited or pruned save for if you link a site that breaks the rules.
The SB is for shits and giggles only, so if you don't like the potential editing of your shouts, either suck it up or don't shout ;P
