    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    That the Codex has ever been completely lassez-faire is mostly a myth. Even Saint_Proverbius used to ban people he felt were trolling the forums, including Volourn in 2005 (the original was Sheriff Fatman - who only came here to troll and got banned for it. That was December 2002, about a month or two after the Codex really went live).

    We only stepped it up a level with the Nazi Enforcement Approval System™ because of the likes of Bryce (some old geriatric guy I originally built the proxy detection code for), Prosper and Andhaira. It's only become more noticeable of late because - due to the Codex's ever increasing popularity - we're attracting more people here who aren't here to talk about RPGs but are here to troll everyone else who is.

    Ignore list has been a feature since 2007. It just comes standard with the software now. As with the Trophy points (Achievements), Liking posts (Brofisting), Facebook integration, Warn and Report features, among other things.

    IMO people who lack enough wits to not realize what kind of stupid thread or post will get them banned shouldn't deserve a chance to be spared.

    But whatever.

    Also is Онега yet another Andhaira alt?

    Nice rules. The forum seems oddly similar to a feudal kingdom, though I think Feudal Despotate fits better, seems more sinister, eastern european and nazi.
    Seem free enough to allow codexian normality without shitposting. Is good.

    No, VD's dream was to make an RPG and instead he was wasting his time managing the Codex. Someone had to put a stop to that so we could have a decent RPG.

    It was in all of our best interests. Trust me.

    It was a genuine question... and this is the most appropriate thread to ask in.

    However I doubt I am going to give you any Bro-fists with an attitude like that

    Given that the smiley list still has a shitty format (Can that even be fixed, DU?) one actually needs an IQ at least on the level of room temperature to figure that out. (And I'm talking Celsius, not that shitty Fahrenheit that no civilized person uses. And not Kelvin either. Don't be ridiculous, you're not Cleve.)

    Wasn't there a rule that people get banned when they demand someone other should get banned?


    I approve the new rules except for the "Moderation approval" and the "shitposter" rule beeing a bit dodgy. I don't get why we need "moderation approval". Really, it's some of the most annoying "features" a forum can have. If someone wants to shitpost/spam he can do it after beeing approved and just plays nicely before the approval for 5 posts. I mean we already have report buttons and ignore lists and GD isn't visible before registering.

    And in regard to shitposters; would sub fall into this category for example?

    Subs a 40 year old (or whatever) asian lady with 2 kids. She's a breath of fresh air for a forum full of psychotic asperger afflicted manboons. For that reason her presence makes this place less shitty, and therefore she isn't a shitposter.

    DarkUnderlord's Powers of Recall are a terrible, wonderful thing to behold. Woe to those who doubt the length and breadth of his reach; into the dark, misty past he can still delve, and does so regularly, maintaining that which should be forgotten, brooding silently yet longingly about mysteries and events ancient.
