Meta.d is sad
-
Yeah, I'm annoyed. @Lorne_Kates has been far more "toxic" than I (take it as a compliment) yet he's unbanned and I, as a mere lurker who hadn't posted in months at least, probably longer, was banned with the rest of the group.
I know.
-
Also, Jeff really needs to hire someone to interact with customers for him
Actually, I think he needs to make sure that he becomes the face of customer support for CDCK. That way:
[When] CDCK fails, the problem [will] reduce to his craptastic customer interaction skills.
Edit: Damn. :Hanzo:d

At least you didn't get Anonymized. I'm apparently the only one who got that dubious honor.

blakeyrat is right.
Nobody ever learns from history.TOPAGINATION, LOOK IT UP!

Serious question, I arrived here after the storm, can you tell me if people were banned just for being in tdwtf? @mot555 claims he didn't post anything there for months.
I take banning as an extreme measure that should only be taken when you're deadly sure of it, it's very frustrating to be banned of a forum you care about.

it appears to be the case yes, although @zoidberg (a rube account i created to demonstrate some notification bugs) @accalia and @Lorne_Kates seem to have survived on meta.d for rasins unknown to us.

I agree, banning is the penultimate punishment for a forum (suing them is the ultimate punishment)It's even more frustrating when the ban is clearly motivated by anger, and doubly so is done because you are associated with the source of the anger.

@accalia, You seem malnourished. Are you suffering from internal parasites?

ah.... right. i forgot this is a category you do that in.... whoops.

i'm a fox using discourse. of course i'm doing it wrong!
by definition i'm doing it wrong.

those are still mentiones in the expanded replies, but they don't show it unless you click

Somehow this goes right with @bort's fucking SJW song that I can't get out of my head now:

Just noticed that the highlight quote reply feature doesn't include pictures. Does Jeff know about this one? ^_^We should lure Jeff back. He looks like he might be fun.
*found another one with that embedded nonsense. You can quote text before. you can quote the embedded text but you can't quote the embedded text and the text around it at the same time. This is fun. Should I make a trip up to meda.d? ^_^
-

You want to see what it was like when he was here? Try reading these topics he either started or was highly active in:
- Congratulations on your glorious four hours of downtime
- How slow is Discourse on your mobile?
- Discourse is slow on Android. Why?
Remember to pay special attention to @end, since that is Jeff's new user name here.
Should I make a trip up to meda.d?
There be demons there.
-
It's like a trip to the Glorious North Korea. Silent streets, totally free from dissent or even humor. Except for our glorious leader, he is the only one allowed to make jokes there.
-
Congratulations on your glorious four hours of downtime
I think that thread might have contributed to my frustration(s) that lead to my slap-fight with Sam and the Disco-Pope that same month. Well that, the Firefox CSS bug(only power users Right Click-> New Tab right?), and finding out were were on
alpha"test passed" instead of the beta branch and general discosistencies.
-
That downtime thread actually makes him look almost reasonable in banning everyone. He just posted, his post didnt deserve all that insults.
-
How slow is Discourse on your mobile?
LOL THAT THREAD WAS GREATNESS.NOPE MISREMEMBEREDThe one where Atwood went as far as pulling a GamerGate comparison was this one:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/discourse-is-slow-on-android-why
-
That downtime thread actually makes him look almost reasonable in banning everyone. He just posted, his post didnt deserve all that insults.
Part of the problem is that we were reporting frequent end user outages at the time, where the site was unreachable. Although the site was unreachable, the server was often responding to ping requests. So the "Only 4 hours downtime" is way off from what we were experiencing at the time.
We were also on the "tests passed" (as if they actually run tests) update channel at the time, which meant that there were new bugs to be found on a daily basis. Currently, we are on a custom beta channel (basically, we update to a new beta when an admin feels like we need to/are ready). This means we get new bugs much less frequently. There was also a lot of frustration over how we were being treated by Jeff&Co (read the other two threads for that), as well as Jeff discounting Android performance problems by making invalid performance comparisons (again, see the other threads).
Taken by itself, was the behavior in Congratulations on your glorious four hours of downtime warranted? Probably not, but it is indicative of the tone that existed at the time.
-
Yeah, that was one reason I picked that as the third topic.
-
I tried to read them but every time I used their goto functionality to skip to halfway scroll with the keyboard stopped working.
This would be funny but I'm not paid to QA their bullshit.
*edit : finished one thread. Although it would be fun to troll him I feel that any communicty would be better off without prolonged exposure to his brand of poison.
Another bug : speelcheck doesn't appear to work in their textboxes.
-
My first-glance impression was that he's peeved at us for our "let's try to break Discourse!" shtick, and implying it was to blame for our 4 hours of downtime when no other site had more than 38 minutes.
-

If I wasn't on mobile, I'd probably crosspost this to the "Things our customers have said about Discuroes" thread...

I think I prefer @MathNerdCNU's @accalia:
[we] were on
alpha"test passed"Considering the quality then, it seems more accurate.
INB4 "you assume they even performed one test"

At least you didn't get Anonymized. I'm apparently the only one who got that dubious honor.
anon6162421, reporting in!
And @faoileag, and @aliceif (with a supertester badge and no apparent activity since May)
-
Oh that.
Yeah.I think I really didn't participate since may.
Also, I changed my profile text to say that "I no longer wish to be associated with this site" or something when PJH got banned.
-
INB4 "you assume they even performed one test"
You were a little late on that INB4. From the post you were replying to (emphasis added):
We were also on the "tests passed" (as if they actually run tests)

But you could actually make a new account now.
And then immediately

I just checked, and **these are almost all IP ranges from South Korea**. So that'd be another way to slow these guys down, if we had a geolocate IP at the time of signup check, and you could **block certain countries from registering, that'd be a cool plugin!**
It's really North Korea there
-
Is he still fighting spam bots? Doesn't he know they have a predetermind kill limit. He just needs to keep banning people until they hit that limit.
-

Unpossible! You can't build a bot that can post to Discourse!
-
My sensors indicate Futurama reference...
-
Besides, His Almightiness has declared that he's fighting human spammers, not bots.
Because clearly, South Koreans need to take a break from StarCraft 2 from time to time and decide to earn some supplemental income spamming Discourse forums.
