Why the hell are we discussing DF? What is happening?
I see DF in the topic title, so we're not even off topic. Don't go all blakeyrat.
-
Considering that the forums here have a history of light moderation, I'd say that @boomzilla and @PJH are doing a pretty good job.
Thanks. Though you and the other TL4s can do some of this stuff, too.
Our community is still evolving with the move
fromto Discourse. Obviously, too fast and simultaneously not fast enough for some spazzes.EDIT: wishful thinking, eh?
-
I've resisted, because I didn't want to look like a dickhole, but I think this retarded episode has well and truly earned you your Special Snowflake badge:
Damn, I was hoping he'd get the Touched in the Head instead.

Hmmm.... I'd investigate but my regular powers don't allow me to inspect history.
I smell a coverup though. :appropriate_emoji:

if only the person responsible would step up and admit it...
-
I found the question, but I can't find any post that links to it other than this one.

I help when I see it.

Uh - no..
it is the Like of Likes; the Ultimate Seal of Approval; the Employee of The Month

Well I don't know what to say. Maybe someone will own up to it. Otherwise I guess we'll have to chalk it up to some sort of reverse Bermuda pentagon.

The name of the badge sounds good. But read the description:
A completely generic You Did Rather Well badge, to be granted on a whim. Bestowed by the Exalted Ones because of whatever, it is the Like of Likes; the Ultimate Seal of Approval; the Employee of The Month; and if you're lucky: The Apple of Discord.
Nope.

It wasn't there at the time. ;)
DF should be classed as off topic in all topics at all times regardless.

How about "Dropped On The Head By An Angel"?

Category request: Dwarf Fortress
Viewing permissions: TL0 only (as a test of strength), @ben_lubar, temporary access to any user to serve as punishment for extremely dickish behaviour.
Additional settings: Autoclose after 60 seconds so any replies have to be in a new thread, resulting in constant spam of /latest.

Status: I hope Discourse adds a "user was given this badge for this post" thing at the bottom of every post so the likes thread can immediately break it the moment we update.
-
Viewing permissions: TL0 only
There's no way to deny permissions once you've granted them, so that would just give the category to every user.
-
All uploaded pictures are converted to shitty ASCII art, and all food references changed to beer and minced milk

The beer is minced, too!

Amazing.
Status: Explaining how awful it is that we have two pieces of UI that control the same field when editing while meanwhile explaining that the way I fixed how it showed up when viewing the fields was correct.

Cooking: Dwarven cooks are only grudgingly accepted into society, mainly because they are seen as an unnecessary step between the raw meat of the butcher and a potential meal. The dwarves are not particularly unreasonable in this either as it is a well documented fact that dwarven cooks do not, in fact, cook anything. Raw meat, plant products and Minced wine are simply mixed together to create “roasts” and “biscuits”. While these names may sound appetizing the reality of the matter is that they are gelatinous masses of grayish moist unhappiness. While many outsiders think that the miasma found around kitchens is the result of rotting food, it is actually a byproduct of successful cooking.

I watched that one live and then went to bed immediately after. It was worth staying up.

Dwarven cooks
Yeah, but dwarf bakers are totally different:
Dwarf Bread
Rock-hard (and indeed contains various rocks such as gravel), never goes stale, and is terribly sustaining. A traveller can go for miles, just knowing there's dwarf bread in their pack. A traveller can think of just about anything to eat rather than dwarf bread including their own foot and even pumpkins (see Witches Abroad).Various forms of dwarf bread can be used as weapons, e.g. battle muffins and drop scones. Fine specimens of dwarf bread can be found in the Dwarf Bread Museum, Whirligig Alley, Ankh-Morpork, open to the public whenever volunteers have time (Feet of Clay). Dwarfs away from home often miss dwarf bread very much, and complain that mass-produced breads by Mr. Ironcrust hardly meet the standards, but dwarfs are too busy working to go and see the exhibits in the museum, much less to volunteer there.
Proper dwarf bread has to be not just baked, but forged (with gravel, of course) and dropped in rivers and dried out, and sat on and left, and looked at every day and then put away again. For preference, its use as a cat's litter box is also recommended. Dwarfs generally devour it with their eyes, because even dwarfs have trouble with devouring it any other way.

I'd much rather people self-moderate, but apparently this forum is now full of chimpanzees who don't understand basic concepts like that.
If Boomzilla's gonna moderate, it would be nice if: He did it without being told to, and: He not actually make the problem worse
-
Lost but never forgotten. Except by the players.
-
He not actually make the problem worse
He made the problem worse by moving badge discussion into the badge discussion section? That's as crazy as liking posts in the Official Likes Thread. Or filling the tank of a petrol car with petrol. Or eating food to stay alive.@boomzilla really is a crazy mofo
-
He's just upset that I didn't move the posts the instant they were posted. Because he Likes being upset.

I eat food because it tastes good. If it didn't, I would probably die.
-
No. He posted an insult to me in that thread. Then deleted it before I could reply. Then after I complained, finally did the moderation job he should have done in the first place.
Well not an insult I guess. But point remains.
-

Can a mod take a screenshot of the offending post?

I'm sure @boomzilla is extremely sorry he didn't meet your 38ns SLA.And if you're really bothered about insults, then you're in the wrong place. Ninny.
-

Good lord. NOTHING WAS DELETED.
Well not an insult I guess.
That, too.
But point remains.

Makes one wonder what the other three did to deserve it...
-
I don't think I want to eat "food" made by someone who thinks a roast should taste like raw meat.
Maybe the dwarfs just really dig Steak Tartare?
-
Mine had something to do with a post on the old CS forums, I think.
EDIT: Still not sure what, perhaps one of my old signature hacks?
Based on your results in this old thread:
You are now the experimentation subject of a new badge.
-
Damn, I was hoping he'd get the Touched in the Head instead.
As @PJH and @boomzilla have already pointed out, @blakeyrat may be touched in the head, but not in the way indicated by the badge.

No edit pencil, ergo no deletion of anything.
And since there's no post saying it'll be withdrawn within 24h, it just goes to show, as if we needed any more proof, that you're full of putrid shit.

Read my first post here. He "deleted" it by moving it into a topic I couldn't view.

The only thing you've proved is you're illiterate.

no... it was always visible to you. just because you have the category muted doesn't mean you can't see it. It just means that it won't display that blue circle.
EDIT: added more words for clarity. they're marked in green, and you can see edit history to verify
