@boomzilla I once got a 0-second ban from a forum
You got a bunch of them on here (where 0 seconds means permanent).

Yeah, those ban extensions are probably something to do with me... @sam banned me and extended everyone else's bans back in 2016 while I was just providing some input. In a friendly and constructive manner.
edit: yup, I was right. Within 24 hours of posting this I got permabanned by
-
@boomzilla There was a bug, and the ban was lifted in 0 seconds.
-
@sockpuppet7 Kinda related, what problems do you see with implementing a kick as a 0-time ban?
-
@lorne-kates You, sir, are delightfully evil.

It didn't even work as a kick. The first time it was unnoticed, then the mod (I think it was @ben_lubar) had to kill the active session or something. They he used a longer ban.
There was also a bug where a banned user could still upvote/downvote posts if the mod didn't kill his session.
I think NodeBB devs didn't give much attention to banning. Huge difference with discodevs that love this part of foruming.

An oversight, I'm sure.

I'm still not banned.

You could make that into political speech by substituting a synonym for that word, just to boost the evil factor.

@pie_flavor they don't ban faithful members of TCOCDCK.

You came in at the end of it all, so you weren't involved with it.

A self-ban by forgetting your password doesn't count.

Doing an integration of Hubspot (aka: Yet Another Fucking Piece Of Tracking Javascript).
Could do a whole thread about that. But most specifically...
{on conference call with customer, Hubspot rep} How do you do XYZ. The documentation doesn't really provide guidance.
{Hubspot rep} That's a bit too technical for me. You can ask on our Integration forum. Our devs hang out there a lot. It's integrate.hubspot.com
Integrate.hubspot.com ... hmm, blank screen. Must be one of those shitty "need JS or show nothing" sites. Fine, I'll open in Chrome
integrate.hubspot.com ... that loads. That UI looks a bit familiar andhttps://i.imgur.com/RkRsgAc.png
Once the PTSD wears off, I'm taking the rest of the week off, collecting hazard pay, and filing for workman's comp.

Guess who has an account?
Care to guess what "Trust Level leader" means?
-
@djls45 I wonder if he bans TDWTF-ers from other people's forums? We may be getting into HubSpot soon...I'd be greatly amused if I registered on their forum and suddenly BANNED_NOT_WELCOME_HERE.

@djls45 Wasn't there some sort of thing where there's a default list of users who have admin access from the Discourse team? It was fucking ridiculous.

I must be misremembering it. Can't find it in Discourse source or NodeBB search results (for what that's worth).

Your account there doesn't match your account here. Still, a classic.

Hey, I found @wood's brother-in-philosophy!

But most specifically...
I had a Chrome tab open to monitor replies to the thread.
Chrome ballooned up to gigabytes of RAM and then hardlocked. I had to task manager that bitch.
A+ work Discohorse.

: Why can't I delete a topic that I've created?
: In Discourse, users can delete replies, but not whole topics. This is intentional: Deleting topics can cause too much harm...unless your name is Jeff, then it's totally fine to delete whole topics and user accounts with reckless abandon, and have no balances and checks in place to ensure people are treated fairly.
I suppose he's got to do something to make himself feel powerful.

That's a problem everywhere on the internet. Moderation of web sites showed me how little power you need to give people to turn them into crazy egocentric maniacs.
-
@doctorjones
I mean, technically, did he really delete the topics? Or did he just move them to a secured category wherein nobody could ever see them again?

I really like the idea that having mod privilages on turned him into a crazy egocentric maniac, and that he was a perfectly normal person beforehand.

I think it's more along the lines of Blakeyrat driving him insane.

It's hard for you to notice your computer's on fire when your head is so firmly up Jeff's chocolate starfish.
