Have just read through "users you like" and although we all knew it wasn't meant to be serious mr 1632 thinks it is and has basically been doing the troll/5 second refresh/sympathy thing for like 4 pages.I've given him an official warning, and he's about due for a mini ban to make him grow up slightly anyway, especially as the post limit hasn't happened yet.
The post limit seems to be something that's never gonna happen, imo he just deserves to be muted for a few days to let him calm himself.Also I've noticed that Seravy has been getting heat for some things, he didn't provoke this particular barrage, in fact he's handled most of the insults in that thread quite well imo. I haven't sent any PMs to the perpetrators about backing off, but maybe if people read this they'll take the hint.
Banned luigi for 2 weeks.Really, its a favour we are all doing to him. Hadnt done it before because I thought it COULD be just me getting irked.Seravy situation, i spoke out on that thread, if the push comes to shove, Shove.
No, everyone has been getting irked. You need only read any thread where he's doing the sob story, or the personal opinion or the whatever and people want him to shut up.
Actually, on the subject of additional abilities. Is permanently disabling someone's sig an option? I mean, we have repeat offenders for large signatures, are we able to get something that will permanently turn them off? As always, new account creation = offence and we can ban/delete the duplicate.Your scrollbar thingy helps in identification, but not in resolution as we still need to PM these people to inform them of the rules, then a few weeks later they'll change to something outside the requested limits once more.
Usergroup that doesn't allow editing of signature box. That's about all that SMF is capable of, I think.
That's why I wondered. I'm actually shocked it took that long. His behavior has been somewhat consistant since joining.

That's about all that SMF is capable of, I think.But that's not all Val is capable of!I don't think a signature offense is that big a deal for an extra mod, though. Maybe if the offense is like adult material, or illegal or something, but people like that usually get banned, right?
I'm more thinking of repeat offenders. I mean, it's there, 600x200. Fair enough, but people go over that. You warn them to change it, and they do, then a few weeks later they change it again, to something else that goes over the limit.I hate having so few options. Ban, or not ban. That's about it.
I consider that unethical. You don't edit posts or profiles to belittle users. It's not right. Removing their rights to do stuff yes. Being nasty like that is mean.And yes i did it a bit myself ages ago. Not here.
but but but, if they keep putting back huge sigs and ignoring pms, maybe they DO need a yellow smiley flower sig/ baby avatar/lolcat avatar!
Cy is right. Although, fucking with a sig can be fun. It may not be a big deal. I mean most user change when you PM them.
Unfortunately, some of them won't. (For me at least)I usually like to let them do it themselves, but I often ended up removing it myself.And those that do, as Cy said, end up replacing it with something just as big a week later.Not that I think it's that big of a deal, but I'm not completely opposed to Cy's idea.
