ask the @mods for not your posts to be jeffed or something
Maybe don't mention-spam the mods if you're not asking for something yourself?

@kt_'s post can be interpreted as a roundabout way of asking @mods to do what he says.

@Gąska said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:
Do you have a better idea to make @blakeyrat undelete that topic?
it was suggested to @mods to undelete and lock the topic, they didn't reply. any official answer on this?
-
@fbmac It will probably be easier to delete the accounts of the users who keep abusing the @mods mention.

@Arantor I actually agree letting people delete other people's posts is stupid, and that there's no way in hell I should have permissions to do that. Maybe (maybe!) before a second person posts in the thread, the option should be there.
I also think it's stupid that I only have permissions to delete the thread not, say, simply lock it. Which also would have worked for getting rid of the notifications.
Speaking of which, if the "Ignore" feature actually fucking worked, none of this would have happened because I would have had no reason to do anything to the thread at all except "Ignore" it, which only affects me.
Since nobody's made any effort to get the permissions fixed in like 3 months after me reporting it, I can only assume using the delete thread feature is hunky dory. So I did.

I can't undelete the topic.
-
@blakeyrat I see. Sorry then.
So @mods are our last hope...

@Onyx said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:
@kt_ oh come off it. You want to discuss the deletion issue, fine, do it. Might as well do it in the lounge too, since that's where the original thread was. But mention bombing is not making your case and is just annoying.
Well, it might be. I don't know, @blakeyrat never asked me to stop.

@Yamikuronue, that's how I meant it. I might have @-mentioned you in one or two other places, but I certainly did not mean it as an @-mention bomb.i do that to @blakeyrat exclusively.
-
@blakeyrat your could not have assumed that and now you're lying through your teeth.
If you weren't a complete asshole you'd ask the mods to close the thread, your very good at it, you've asked them to Jeff things more than once in the past.

@Gąska said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:

Which one? The one where @blakeyrat told the forum to abuse him for some reason?
-
@Tsaukpaetra it was created by @blakeyrat? Gosh, now I regret skipping over it...
-
@Gąska the short version is that he complained about being piled on, some of us gave him some sympathy, many didn't, he got pissed st notifications and deleted the topic to avoid them and, I quote, because it was "funny".
Hundreds of posts gone.
-
@Arantor he's probably laughing his ass off, or getting angry as hell with the notifications. I whish I knew which one.
-
@Arantor said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:

You can't do "and I quote" and then provide a quote I never wrote. Sheesh.
-
@blakeyrat I'm sorry, your royal pedanticness.
Your actual words were "it's a laugh".

Yes, you did:
@blakeyrat said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:
@e4tmyl33t I don't have permissions to lock a thread, which is relatively harmless. But I do have permissions to delete it. Because that makes... sense? To someone somewhere apparently?
Since "Ignore" wasn't enough to remove notifications from it, and I didn't want notifications, and NodeBB lets me delete it, and it's a laugh-- I deleted it.
I'm glad you're having fun, you're my favorite troll.

@blakeyrat's not just a troll anymore. He's become a vandal too.
-
@fbmac he's arguing that "it's a laugh" !== "funny" which is technically correct, the best kind of course. But it merely reinforces the level of douche nozzle.
-
@kt_ He still delivers the fun as nobody else. If you really want your content, it's like 3 clicks away for the mods to undelete and lock that topic. Don't know why they didn't do it yet. Maybe we should ask an specific mod. Hey @abarker, why don't you do it?

I started a thread to ask this question. I let @blakeyrat know about it too!

I wouldn't know, I can't acces the lounge on mobile. I mean, I can read the threads but going to the category page just sends Safari into infinite loop. If only @blakeyrat had designed it.

@kt_ well, that's not blakey fault, is it?

Are you calling @blakeyrat a pussy? Because most of us agree he's an asshole, in which case it should be "the level of enema nozzle."

Just like nearly every sane forum that's ever been written ever.
First fucking rule of forum--- nay, any system--- design: non-admin users should never beble to delete other user's content.
I also think it's stupid that I only have permissions to delete the thread not, say, simply lock it. Which also would have worked for getting rid of the notifications.
wat serious wat?
SECOND fucking rule: if you have permission to perform action of a certain permission level, you must have permission to the related actions at a lower level.
In this case,
delete >> lock
Speaking of which, if the "Ignore" feature actually fucking worked, none of this would have happened because I would have had no reason to do anything to the thread at all except "Ignore" it, which only affects me.
For the ignore feture to work that way it would need:
- design
- QA
- an actual understanding of what a blacklist is
- the unfathomable concept of "users use the system different than The One True Way"
In other words, the complete opposite of what Web 3.0 provides.
Since nobody's made any effort to get the permissions fixed in like 3 months after me reporting it, I can only assume using the delete thread feature is hunky dory. So I did.
They were busy bikeshedding the pixel height of the new Slimfast count bubbles.

In other words: I agree with whatever Blakeyrat just said. (out of respect all @ mentions of Blakeyrat omitted)

THIRD FUCKING RULE: Wherever possible, within reason, a user should be able to undo an action. Even if only for a limited amount of time.
THIRD FUCKING RULE (Corollary One): ESPECIALLY a destructive action

@Lorne-Kates haha assuming a microcootie caught you?
-
@Tsaukpaetra interesting, so I have the likes-limiter setting enabled, and @Lorne-Kates was the fifth liker. Fine, generated a notification. Fine. He un-liked it. Fine. Now the notification reads @Lorne-Kates and -1 others liked your post.
FFS wasn't this a Silver problem?

Yeah I hate it too. One of my colleagues was pushing for replacing it with WAF, but he's since moved on to another department, so we're still stuck with this abomination literally no one can maintain anymore...
-
the good thing is there is no time limit for deleting a topic
-
@blakeyrat said in I'm pissed so I'm gonna annoy @blakeyrat:
He's upset that I used a feature I have the permissions to use, after several people asked me to use it.
Remember how upset you got when you lost access to your posts in The Lounge? Are you so sociopathic that you cannot understand that other people might be annoyed to have their posts deleted?

Besides, mention-bombing is (literally) so last year.

I should bookmark and/or screencap that post if it's ever necessary to remind people that he does, in fact, troll for the lulz.

@FrostCat that doesn't mean it's always the case

I can't undelete the topic.
Just to see if that's true, I tried deleting one of my topics. (I was going to PM a mod to get it back if I couldn't restore it, either way.)
Here's it, deleted:
Here's it, still deleted, showing up in the category list, after a hard refresh:
And here's me restoring it:
And here's the topic, in case you want to go see that it's no longer deleted:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/post/915681What you can't do is search for the topic while it's deleted, or find it in your posts in your profile. But you can go to
the topic list (for the category, to make it easier to find)the category list it was posted in and scroll down until you should find it.

Not just easier, that's the only way to find. The unread list doesn't show deleted topics at all, and it's probably why blakey didn't find a way to restore it.
-
@fbmac I think recent might, but I wasn't scrolling down that far to find it.

No, just tested it. Look at the recent, and then look at the Sandbox category. My testing deleted topic is only visible at the category.
-
@fbmac I can't really test it because I wouldn't expect it to show up for me necessarily. I'll just take your word for it.
