Ask Draco Anything (About Miniclip/The Forums)

[Dracophile]

Lately there has been a pretty sharp jab in the number of threads that are asking me and the Moderators questions. To help this, I thought I would make this thread where you can ask me serious questions about the forums. If you have a question about something in the news/announcements or just generally how something works feel free to ask it here. As long as it's not something Classified then I will do my best to provide a good answer.

I have a feeling that this thread will be cluttered very quickly, so please make sure your question hasn't already been asked, that's all I ask of you. If it's been answered already then I probably won't answer it a second time. ;)

[TnT]

To clear it up...
When the forums go down, what's the problem of it?
Is it something us forumers are doing, or just the server itself?

It's probably a mixture of both. I believe the last time it was down for a LONG time was because the servers were actually being moved, according to Ben. Sometimes though, such as when these forums were launched, it was because of an overload; the server was attempting to connect and process too many people and connections at one time, so it crashed.

To the distaste of many users here I have been attempting to keep the forums as streamlined as possible. I took out some unneeded features (such as Who's Online at the bottom of the forums) so that the server would not have to keep up with and display these figures. Every little bit helps but when it comes to just the sheer number of connections at once, sometimes my efforts prove futile. :(

Oh I see.
Is there anything we should try to stop doing, that might overload the server?

Tarheel, I think he meant things like forum problems and questions, not how did you get it, but I think Funnyboy made it anyway.

[Tarheel 4]

Ok,since the the closing of the PG forum,im wondering if we can still have threads in the off topic chat such as ''rate the avatar/signature above you" threads.

[Donnybrook]

Ok,you said anything,were or how,did you get or make your new avatar RFS?

Tarheel, its not personal questions regarding RFS, it is support questions about the forum. My question RFS, why do you prefer to appear as 'offline' while online?

I know I re-read the post and asked a serious question.I at first only read the title and said "Anything?" and I was gonna ask about the avatar,the forums crashing,and if we can still have threads about avvys and siggys ratings in the off topic chat,such as ''rate the avatar/signature above you" threads.

[Donnybrook]

Yeah I was wondering if we could shut down posting games, but just keep three. Rate the avatar above you, rate the signature above you, and rate the person above you. Those are the three most popular anyways.

[Dracophile]

Ok,since the the closing of the PG forum,im wondering if we can still have threads in the off topic chat such as ''rate the avatar/signature above you" threads.

Unfortunately I know there were good threads in there, but the bad outnumbered the good by a giant margin, and we all decided it was best to just sweep it all at once. Those threads are now considered "Post A Thons" again and are disallowed by the stanard forum rules. Sorry. :(

Tarheel, its not personal questions regarding RFS, it is support questions about the forum. My question RFS, why do you prefer to appear as 'offline' while online?

I appear as "Offline" so that nobody knows when I am watching. Other Moderators can see when I am online (since I appear with a * next to my name on the online list) though. I do this mainly because it helps catch spammers and trolls "in the act" because they think I am not here. But now, since people know I am hidden, they will have to keep guessing "do you think he is on right now". I am known to post/check at literally all times of day.

Really all I can suggest is that you guys don't constantly refresh pages on us, like when you are waiting for new posts and you keep hitting refresh and such. Really that's just kind of a habit and I'm not sure exactly how much that would help in the first place. Honestly, the forums could use a beefier system but those cost some bucks, much more than another copy of vBulletin I'm afraid.

Just wondering what happened to all the Post Icons,
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/8136/oddif6.png
I don't know if it's just my computer not loading them propely , or they've been taken away as for some reason.

Okay, Thanks RFS.

BTW: Did anyone come and skin you for a RFS costume yet? :P

I was in the middle of attempting to make some changes to the post icons. I wanted to make the ! icon a Staff-only bit. I'll fix that right now. (Thanks!)

Yeah that was a mybad. I should have tested that change before making it global. (Insert non existant blushing emote)

[Tarheel 4]

When the old CP MC forums went down,we had no warning(I think) that these forums were being created.he forumswere down for two months.So im just wondering,when is an update like this gonna happen agin?

You mean the servers were down for two months? I can't exactly recall any time that I have been on staff where they were down for that long. :|

[Chappers]

Do you sometimes know when the forums are about to go down???

Are most of them planned? Or are they mostly accidents?

Thanks, Chappers

Anyhow I know we can't get our forum name changed with out making a completely new account, but is it possible for the 'm' at the start of my name to be capitalized?
If not that's fine just wondering though...
Thanks again,

They were down for at least 3 weeks-to a month at one time,I got annoyed and thats why I sighned up a little late for these new forums.

[CoolJayk]

I can see RFS is online now.

Also RFS, When do most server crashes happen?

[QAZAR]

Why can't I add a forum wise link to my signature, using the embedded link feature?

[Michelle]

I remember one of the mods said that they were trying to get rid of the number of posts visible in our profiles. Did you guys just give up on that or does it not really matter anymore?

Ooops...:(

It's not my fault, though; my computer went weird.

On a thread I made previously, you told me to "accept all cookies". I've done that and tried mostly everything. The only thing I can do is hit "refresh" every so offen. :(

Please help me...someone... -_-

[eminem0413]

Can I report underaged users here? Cause I have proof that Beckett360 is underaged.

[Balthasar]

Why can't I add a forum wise link to my signature, using the embedded link feature?

Did you try adding the "http://" in front of the link? From my personal experience, sometimes those links don't work unless you add that extra bit in front of the link.

EDIT: I fixed it for you. For some reason, the URL tags didn't appear when I initially tried to fix the link, so I had to add them in.

[eminem0413]

Balthy can you ban Beckett360 for me? The proof that he's underaged is in my last post.

[Gamerboy]

What RFS means is that it's fine if it doesn't work and you just hit refresh once so it logs you back in.

However, just constantly holding down F5 when multiply people do it after the speed slows down quickly crashes the server. (Well that's what I think happens).

Server crashes normally happen at around 9PM to 3AM from experience in GMT(or GMT +1) timezone. RFS may be able to narrow it down more or give a more accurate estimate, but at a time that isn't too friendly for Miniclip employees.

Hey! I wanted that "Whose online" Thing! I was trying to keep track on mods and admins there! But thats the reason (Bottom Paragraph) the posting games is closed? And is it closed temporary or forever?

[-- OMG LINES --]

Can't you get more servers, because I saw somebody at a different forum say that you can get servers, and there's like Highways, and there's a max amount of lanes. Now, if we haven't gotten to that max amount, why can't we get more of the lanes?

Yes that was a lot of metaphors.

[Gamerboy]

LINES, I don't understand what you are trying to say. It sounds quite a bit like bandwidth, howver you are suggest that a server is a highway, surely by adding more servers you are pretty much suggesting adding another highway to reduce the load on each high way. Perhaps someone like RFS will understand that analogy better.

Although a new server could be good, cost issues (new ones cost quite a bit of money) and technical issues of splitting the forum over two servers. (If each forum has its own server, both forums may be sharing the same server RFS would probably know).

So, yes, let's wait for RFS.

[Sixpenguin]

I have a few questions for our favorite dragon.

1. When users are perma-banned, are they IP-Banned too?
2. I'm just curious, are you considering any users to carry the coveted Moderator status? (without saying names of course)

He can say their names if he wants.........I think alot of people want to know who are he is considering to be a mod.

[Redenator]

Will there ever be another mod this year? Will there be another sub-forum again?

[Dannyboy]

Exactly why (how) are the forums back up and running less than a day after the crash, rather than the usual three days?

By the way, now I can actually view/use the "post icons" when before, I could not see them, did the crash have something to do with it, or is it the fact that you made the exclamation mark a "mod only" icon?

[Donnybrook]

Danny, I was thinking that they may have possibly closed the forum to do some handywork, Because maybe RFS needed to shut the forums down to close the Posting games forum, he also made some adjusetments with post icons.

[FunnyBoy]

The announcement says it was closed due to abuse and spam. Its closed on Miniclip too.

It depends on why they are down. If it is maintenance or server operations then it can take days, or if it is over a weekend. However, if it is overload they may just need to reboot the servers.

The post icons were a mistake on RFS's part making it so they could not be used by regular users. The crash wasn't anything to do with them as far as I know of.

Edit: Forum tasks don't need to turn the forums off, the subforum was done without needing to turn it off. Installing mods may do, but generally either the forums run normally or you get a message saying no access. Here is a unaccurate way to tell whether it is something RFS related or whether it's server. Try viewing the forum, if you don't get a page then it's likely to be server issues, if it's a page saying access denied then it probably is RFS.

[Makarov]

This usually never happens, but this just recently happened to me.

I made a thread in the Ideas and Suggestions Sub-Forum, and it got deleted. Now a user made the same exact thread, but was reworded. Should we be reporting it or not? I also have proof of it being my thread.

[Dracophile]

Thanks, Chappers

99% of the server downtimes are random and due to overloads.


Non existant, huhhttp://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3990/imagebi1.gif (I got bored)

I used to fix capitals, but people were attempting to ask for too much, so we no longer change names at all.

They were down for at least 3 weeks-to a month at one time,I got annoyed and thats why I sighned up a little late for these new forums.

The longest I can remember them being down was about one week.

I can see RFS is online now.

Also RFS, When do most server crashes happen?

Usually if it's an overload it is during "peak hours", which is in the afternoon, about the time when school lets out in the middle of the USA.

Why can't I add a forum wise link to my signature, using the embedded link feature?

It should not be filtered, and it needs HTTP, I think Balth helped you fix that.

I remember one of the mods said that they were trying to get rid of the number of posts visible in our profiles. Did you guys just give up on that or does it not really matter anymore?

You have to edit a specific string of HTML/CSS in the vBulletin coding, which I am not authorized to see or edit, that is something Ben has to do, but I am fairly certain we scrapped that idea.

Hey! I wanted that "Whose online" Thing! I was trying to keep track on mods and admins there! But thats the reason (Bottom Paragraph) the posting games is closed? And is it closed temporary or forever?

Posting Games is permanently closed for good.

Can't you get more servers, because I saw somebody at a different forum say that you can get servers, and there's like Highways, and there's a max amount of lanes. Now, if we haven't gotten to that max amount, why can't we get more of the lanes?

Yes that was a lot of metaphors.

Honestly, it is cost. New servers can cost thousands of dollars for a good one that can handle a LOT of traffic. The forums are also NOT the main attraction of Miniclip. Yes, 45,000 total members is a very nice number, but that is nothing compared to the huge traffic that the games get per month. According to Big Boards, a rating website, Miniclip is #1680th out of all forums online.

I have a few questions for our favorite dragon.

1. When users are perma-banned, are they IP-Banned too?
2. I'm just curious, are you considering any users to carry the coveted Moderator status? (without saying names of course)

Permabanned is not IP Banned. The ban just does not expire, ever. That is the only difference. Being Banned and being Permabanned will bring up the exact same banned page.

At this time we are in the process of talking about new Moderators but I'm not exactly allowed to say who.

Will there ever be another mod this year? Will there be another sub-forum again?

More than likely yes to new mods. If the need arises, maybe we will have a new subforum too. Moderators and Forums are based on a supply/demand kind of basis.

Exactly why (how) are the forums back up and running less than a day after the crash, rather than the usual three days?

By the way, now I can actually view/use the "post icons" when before, I could not see them, did the crash have something to do with it, or is it the fact that you made the exclamation mark a "mod only" icon?

Miniclip's offices are not open on the weekends. If the servers crash on Friday, there is nobody available to deal with it until Monday. If the servers go down during the week then normally there is someone available the next day to restore them. I do not have access to Miniclip's servers from where I am.

The crash did not involve me playing with the Post Icons.

I know, but does RFS need to shut down the forum to close a sub-forum?

If I "turn off" the forum then it will just display a "No Permission" message to you along with a reason. So far, the only time this has been done was when the forums were not prepared for launch and the URL to these forums returned a "Forum Not Ready, Launching in March" message.

[FunnyBoy]

I have a question. When will the posting games forum be removed. I know its still there, but its closed and doesn't bring you anywhere. Just wondering when it will be gone.

Its not a big question, but I'm just curious.

[RedDex2k7]

how come that most of the game threads are closed?

[kogeck]

I have a question.

In your online status and sometimes in other moderators' such as Balthasar, you appear to be offline, but really are online.
Why does it occur, and might it happen to regular users too?

It is an actual Vbulliten option, to use "invisible mode", but here, it has been changed to a moderator only privelage.

I doubt it would be used here.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're only on the forums to gain credit and reputation for silly ideas, please discontinue posting here. It's just a game, and no harm is being done if threads and ideas get mixed up. Each Moderator works differently, maybe there was a mistake somewhere along the line.

[jcgrox]

So do after five infractions you get perma-banned right?
What if I have an infraction that is revesed and one that is expired
Do those count?If they do I'm in trouble!

5 Infractions gets you a perma ban.

If you have a reversed infraction, it does not count as an infraction anymore.

If you have an expired infraction, it just means the 10 days have passed and the rank is gone, but it still counts as an infraction towards the 5 you need to be Perma Banned.

[Powdinet]

OK, this is not a forum question bu why did you said to me to put a exra ] in my sig? isnt it pretty this way?

PS: I have another quesion in the other page.

[TnT]

One more question...
When the posting games forum was opened up, I'm pretty sure you put the "What Are You Listening To?" thread in it from the music subforum.

Are we aloud to have that thread in the music subforum again?

[Powdinet]

I think it was always in he music sub-forum. Atleast I saw i there...

[acef596]

Just wondering,as from my understanding there are undercover Moderators on the miniclip forums.Are there undercover mods on this forum as well?

[Money Bags JR]

Why did you close the posting games forum for everybody. What about the people who dont spam?

For ones pay anothers. What some people do, the others soffer about it.

My suggestion ifs for you live with it.

[Dannyboy]

Why did you close the posting games forum for everybody. What about the people who dont spam?

There would be no possible way to filter out all of the "spammers" out of the posting games forum.

We here on the forums, are judged as a whole.

[Balthasar]

I dont remember it being moved:|

The thread was moved because it was more of a post-a-thon than anything else.

From the looks of it, you copied the link of your signature from the forum, and not from Imageshack or another image uploading site. Every time you upload a signature through these forums and you copy the link, the link WILL remain the same, but the image will be different.

Or, you could have simply copied the link to the first signature and then somehow made a mistake and didn't copy the links to the other two correctly. Just make sure you right click and press "copy" and don't do the "ctrl + V" shortcut on your keyboard.

Just wondering,as from my understanding there are undercover Moderators on the miniclip forums.Are there undercover mods on this forum as well?

There are no "undercover moderators" on these forums. I believe you're thinking of the "invisible" option in which a moderator is online, but he or she shows up as offline. (Also known as hidden status.)

[Powdinet]

I had a question. Why do you mods even need o be with hidden status? I see that your looking a thread, but I cant see what thread! Why do you hide?

There are no "undercover moderators" on these forums. I believe you're thinking of the "invisible" option in which a moderator is online, but he or she does not show up on the online list and shows up as offline. (Also known as hidden status.)

I am not saying that I am saying that on miniclip I understand that they are moderator's dressed as users so noone knows they are moderators.But I guess that only miniclip forums has them.

[FunnyBoy]

I had a question. Why do you mods even need o be with hidden status? I see that your looking a thread, but I cant see what thread! Why do you hide?

Well, spammers usually dont do any spamming while a moderator is online, if they have the Hidden Status on, spammers will think no mods are online when they actually are. So it would be easier to catch spammers.

I had a question. Why do you mods even need o be with hidden status? I see that your looking a thread, but I cant see what thread! Why do you hide?

The beauty of hidden status is that it allows us moderators, as RFS stated earlier, to catch spammers in the act.

As for us looking at "a thread", that means that we are viewing a thread that is deleted, located in the staff forum, or located in the reported posts forum.

[Makarov]

I kind of like that idea. There is only one bad thing I think of it.

I have a question too.

Isn't using smileys rule breaking if you are trying to get by the 35 Character rule. I think I heard a moderator here say that a long time ago.

Yes, if you use smileys to get past the limit, it is breaking a rule and you will most likely get a warning or an infraction..

[DxDomination]

My question:
I forgot. Why did you take away the posting counts?
&
Why can't we have special things above our name like on the other fourm?

[Powdinet]

My question:
I forgot. Why did you take away the posting counts?
&
Why can't we have special things above our name like on the other fourm?

You mean ranks? Because of when the forums were firstly open(the new) some people spammed just to get that post count up and ge a better rank.

So they closed the forum, and deleted them.

The posts still count though...

[Makarov]

My question:
I forgot. Why did you take away the posting counts?
&
Why can't we have special things above our name like on the other fourm?

I can answer this one :)

People were posting spam to get high post. More Post= A different rank.

[TnT]

My question:

&

Posting Counts/Ranks were taken away because people bragged about them so much.
The forum is alot more peaceful without them, and if I remember correctly RFS said they wouldn't be coming back.

[Cain]

I can answer this one :)

People were posting spam to get high post. More Post= A different rank.

Yes, they still have the post counts in your profile, they just took it out of the posts and ranks because people were spamming to get higher ranks.

question for RFS



RFS i was woundering how you uys make the naughty penguin ranks
do you think its olny for vbulleton or do you think you could do it with forumwise?

[acef596]

question for RFS



RFS i was woundering how you uys make the naughty penguin ranks
do you think its olny for vbulleton or do you think you could do it with forumwise?

Naughty penguin is a bad special rank that only users get if an admin gives it what you mean can you do it on forumwise?Like take out the same permissions as this forum.

[Gamerboy]

question for RFS



RFS i was woundering how you uys make the naughty penguin ranks
do you think its olny for vbulleton or do you think you could do it with forumwise?

Forumwise is phpBB, with phpBB you can make a rank that is naughty penguin, just set it as a special rank in the rank page and then on the user options in the admin panel in the admin only section it will say Special Rank and then select the rank.

You can only take away avatar and PM privledges I think as far as I know of with the default phpBB version. Signatures are not in that. So it is both yes and no.

[Dark]

I am just wondering if you the staff believe what happens in the Bribble Chats, for an example if someone entered and it was named Dark and he asked you to ban him, will you believe him? because it may not be me, I was troubled last time on a popular bribble chat, someone logged in as my name, and said: "I am want to get banned on the MC Forums", I don't know if it was true or no, but someone told me that, so I am afraid if that happens to anyone of us here.

No probably not, they would most likely ask you to admit that on the forums if you truly want to quit.

No, a Bribble screenshot isn't sufficient evidence. If the user wishes to be banned, he or she must make a thread on this forum because anyone can impersonate someone on a Bribble chat and request a ban.

[Dark]

No probably not, they would most likely ask you to admit that on the forums if you truly want to quit.

I would never quit, I don't know I will be here until the forums will get closed (I doubt it will get closed).

[flyleafdude]

The thread was moved because it was more of a post-a-thon than anything else.



From the looks of it, you copied the link of your signature from the forum, and not from Imageshack or another image uploading site. Every time you upload a signature through these forums and you copy the link, the link WILL remain the same, but the image will be different.

Or, you could have simply copied the link to the first signature and then somehow made a mistake and didn't copy the links to the other two correctly. Just make sure you right click and press "copy" and don't do the "ctrl + V" shortcut on your keyboard.



There are no "undercover moderators" on these forums. I believe you're thinking of the "invisible" option in which a moderator is online, but he or she shows up as offline. (Also known as hidden status.)

Yeah, I found the problem. I'm using Tinypic now.

[Powdinet]

Can we repor double accounts here? If yes Id like to report he tennis tifer is ryoma12.

PS: Dont ban her if RFS mean to which I doubt.
PS: Sorry ryoma....

[Babidu]

RFS, are pears awesome, or what?

Well, I have a question:

How long will Caboose still ''Trainee Moderator'' , I mean he left.

[TheHuskerDu]

I've wondered this, why did you move the old Club Penguin forum on the Miniclip site to here? Was it because of spam and people just wanted a new start? I've just wondered that in the past few days.

[FunnyBoy]

Can we repor double accounts here? If yes Id like to report he tennis tifer is ryoma12.

PS: Dont ban her if RFS mean to which I doubt.

Tennis Tiger is Ryoma. But Ryoma was banned because they wanted to make the account Tennis Tiger. :P

RFS, are pears awesome, or what?

Well, I have a question:

How long will Caboose still ''Trainee Moderator'' , I mean he left.

Caboose has sorta left, but he has things going on in his life.

I've wondered this, why did you move the old Club Penguin forum on the Miniclip site to here? Was it because of spam and people just wanted a new start? I've just wondered that in the past few days.

People wanted a new forum, most likely because of how CP players from the forum went to other parts of the forum and spammed.

[Dannyboy]

Can we repor double accounts here? If yes Id like to report he tennis tifer is ryoma12.

PS: Dont ban her if RFS mean to which I doubt.
PS: Sorry ryoma....

The account "Ryoma12" has already been perma-banned. Their account was changed to "Tennis Tiger" before the new rule of no new name changes.

I've wondered this, why did you move the old Club Penguin forum on the Miniclip site to here? Was it because of spam and people just wanted a new start? I've just wondered that in the past few days.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CP forums were moved to a separate site because some if it's users were "attacking" the other sections of Miniclip with a barrage of constant spam.

[Powdinet]

Tennis Tiger is Ryoma. But Ryoma was banned because they wanted to make the account Tennis Tiger. :P



Caboose has sorta left, but he has things going on in his life.

So he asked to be banned? Then dont ban his account.

PS: note the underline for grammar error.

[Redenator]

First: Would you answer any questions? second: if you would i'll post my question. It's not un-reasonable.

[Dracophile]

So do after five infractions you get perma-banned right?
What if I have an infraction that is revesed and one that is expired
Do those count?If they do I'm in trouble!

Reversed infractions do not count. Expired ones do.

One more question...
When the posting games forum was opened up, I'm pretty sure you put the "What Are You Listening To?" thread in it from the music subforum.

Are we aloud to have that thread in the music subforum again?

I would rather not have that thread revived.

Just wondering,as from my understanding there are undercover Moderators on the miniclip forums.Are there undercover mods on this forum as well?

There are no undercover moderators on any forum. I did not approve of this action, they do not exist. Anyone telling you otherwise is either an idiot or is pulling your chains.

Why did you close the posting games forum for everybody. What about the people who dont spam?

Read the announcements for once in your lifetime.

I kind of like that idea. There is only one bad thing I think of it.

I have a question too.

Isn't using smileys rule breaking if you are trying to get by the 35 Character rule. I think I heard a moderator here say that a long time ago.

Yes, most commonly people use the ROLLEYES emote to fill up space.

My question:
I forgot. Why did you take away the posting counts?
&
Why can't we have special things above our name like on the other fourm?

Post Counts and Post Ranks were stripped from the forums because of spamming. Getting rid of them helped GREATLY.

question for RFS

RFS i was woundering how you uys make the naughty penguin ranks
do you think its olny for vbulleton or do you think you could do it with forumwise?

Sorry, I have no experience with the software Forumwise uses. I am trained and knowledgeable in vBulletin only. :(

I am just wondering if you the staff believe what happens in the Bribble Chats, for an example if someone entered and it was named Dark and he asked you to ban him, will you believe him? because it may not be me, I was troubled last time on a popular bribble chat, someone logged in as my name, and said: "I am want to get banned on the MC Forums", I don't know if it was true or no, but someone told me that, so I am afraid if that happens to anyone of us here.

The only time we consider things outside the forums are for underaged users, and then we go in and look up IP information and such to make a match, because that is a LEGAL issue.

RFS, are pears awesome, or what?

Well, I have a question:

How long will Caboose still ''Trainee Moderator'' , I mean he left.

I don't know where Caboose has gone, and I am unable to contact him.

I've wondered this, why did you move the old Club Penguin forum on the Miniclip site to here? Was it because of spam and people just wanted a new start? I've just wondered that in the past few days.

Simply put, Club Penguin was killing Miniclip's already stagnating community, and everyone absolutely hated Club Penguin's community. That and the fact that the forums were growing too large to keep as a subforum on Miniclip, so something had to be done about it.

[Redenator]

RFS, I knwo you wouldn't answer this but, who do you think good mod candidates?

[Makarov]

I have a question.

What if we advertised a Posting Game in our signature, where will those Hyper Links take us?

[Redenator]

I have a question.

What if we advertised a Posting Game in out signature, where will those Hyper Links take us?

To the annoucement of closing the posting games thread.. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[Gamerboy]

I have a question.

What if we advertised a Posting Game in out signature, where will those Hyper Links take us?

"Thread does not exist, if you followed a valid link then please contact your adminstrator" at a guess or you do not have the privledges one depending on how it is set up. Perhaps the annoucement, but nothing too bad should happen.

Probably the valid link one as the forum appears to be deleted.

[Jeffman]

Well this is mainly for the main MC forum.

To be honest, when I go to the other MC, I go there for GC and then the fun forum. Whenever GC was boring and dead ( which is usually the case ) I went and had some fun at that forum. I could express myself in the trillion thread and basically be myself. It was FUN. And now thats gone and I am kinda dissapointed because now MC is dead again. Here I am not worried because this place is always rockin. But now I feel MC is not what it was without that forum. So I have a proposal.

Why not make it have similar rules like the debate forum? Ban the users who over use the forum or don't use it right. I know there were mainly 2 people who used the Happy Land wrongly * Cough American Girl and Colerd Cough *.. So why not just ban them and a few others from that forum? Otherwise, I thought it was used alright...

Again, I know it probably won't come back, but I think you guys should have done stages and warnings before abrubtly closing it. Do you think it would have worked? I think it would have. MC is mature enough.

[acef596]

Actually RFS did give a warning when it opened up.He wrote don't abuse this forum or I will take it away.Or something along those lines.I don't remember it too well.

[acef596]

Honestly, the average age of this forum is GREATLY below that of Miniclip, and so is the maturity as a whole. The Debate Forum will just be a bunch of "yah i agree" posts and there will be no debating at all. As for the PG forum warnings, there was a pinned thread saying not to abuse it. I Ate A Fish had a post saying that it was getting out of hand, and at one point in time FunnyBoy and Notre I think posted some panicked warnings. You guys had warnings.

-

There are no undercover mods, and I am not saying this to defend their cover if we had them in the first place. Honest to God (or whatever you believe in), there are none. That is a silly idea.

I think that rank stays forever with you.Also all mods all gobal the mods name just are the mods that can help you most with that forum.Also you don't have to assgin mods to forums you just make them gobal on vBulliten and they can mod every forum.You can though make mods only mod some forums.

NHI and Miniclip staff are permanent unless they leave. Other mods that are inactive for too long will be contacted to see what is wrong.

In the CP Fan Art Sub-Forum, are we allowed to make our own teams just like in the Non-CP Gallery Sub-Forum?

[Dracophile]

I was just wondering, can the Club Penguin Staff oversay any of the forums choices?

It depends. If there is a decision, Moderator, or addition that may harm Club Penguin, then they have a say. However, I am also the "Owner" here, so technically if there is reason enough on my side, then I can override back. It really depends on how each choice reflects Club Penguin, the game AND company. In short, yes in some aspects they can overpower me.

What is being a mod like? fun boring what? I know you have to be dedicated and all but how is it?

It has its good days and bad days. Sometimes you log on and see that you have fan art and some fun threads to post in, and sometimes you log on and find yourself in the middle of a spam attack. It can be fun and frustrating in the same day.

In the CP Fan Art Sub-Forum, are we allowed to make our own teams just like in the Non-CP Gallery Sub-Forum?

As for selling... do you mean what I have for sale on eBay and RFSHQ? If it's that, then I sell it as I get it. I don't purposely look for duplicates of games and stuff.

I'm not sure. It follows the same skin as the main Miniclip forums because technically this place is still a Miniclip subforum, just a big one. It has some minor customizations to its theme though, along with a different set of forum smilies.

Question: Do you think army threads are spam?Also if they were deleted do you think it would change the forums?Good or bad?(sorry if this has been answered)

ACP was kicked out of Miniclip for spam, and the thread here is a literal ban trap because of all the spam. (Nice avatar, I laughed.)

New Horizon Interactive sends them over and we made them Moderators. Pretty simple really, normally Ben is the Administrator who is contacted about that though.

Lawl,@Vipes and RFS.

It is infinite, only limited by the storage space offered on your server or hosting plan (or both).

Few questions about vbulliten:

-How much does it cost

-What are some features vbulliten has that you don't use?

vBulletin is $85 per year or $160 "for life". There are extra costs for things like phone support, maintenance, and other things like that.

vBulletin is entirely customizable in a number of ways, and virtually everything on the page can be changed in some way, including buttons. Miniclip's forums and RFSHQ's forums both are vBulletin software and they look completely different. One of the subforums on RFSHQ plays music and has customized banners while another is bright purple with hip hop culture references. Most of the tables and display codes have been altered.

Right now we currently are not using things like the Reputation system (Karma I think it's called) which lets you rate users either + or - for each post. Private Messaging is also disabled, along with that bottom Who's Online box. PM's are gone for user safety reasons, and WO is gone for server optimization.

I normally check at least once a day unless something prevents me from doing so. Id say each day though, in between chatting with other moderators and doing daily things I put in about 2 solid hours of moderation and such each day, everyday.

As for the Fun Forum Facts thing I posted, it does not keep up with hours. That would be server-overkill. I don't believe that is even an option we have available actually.

Cause on the old miniclip forums, Club Penguin just caused spam,spam, and more spam.

Well, RFS didn't, Ben and the others did. They just added RFS as a mod. Which leads me to my next question.

How come you can add a person to the mod list here without making a new account and not on Miniclip forums?

[Purple Pirate]

How do you post pictures in posts like this one?

[cheese rox]

I could help you with that. First, find a picture URL (like find one in Google Images) and then copy it. Next, click the image button (looks like a mountain and the sun) the paste the copyed url where it says "Please enter the URL of your image, and then your done.

[Balthasar]

How do you post pictures in posts like this one?

First, you must acquire at least 15 posts in order to post any link or image on these forums. After acquiring those 15 posts, just paste your link and then place image tags around it. It should look like this when you're typing your post in which you would change www.example.com to the link desired:

www.example.com

Example result:

In he forum bottom it says I cant post attachments. Why?

[Dark]

NHI and Miniclip staff are permanent unless they leave. Other mods that are inactive for too long will be contacted to see what is wrong.



"Moderators:" is mainly there to let you know who is most likely to help you when you post there.

I would offer to be a Moderator but I couldn't guarantee how active I would be. This right here is my job, and I do it because it's my job and I love to do it. I'm a pretty busy person, so if it was all simply volunteer work, I would still be swamped with real work.

Wait, how did you become an Admin? Secret?

[Little Milky]

Wait, how did you become an Admin? Secret?

When CP came into town at Miniclip, he became a moderator, then later an administrator to take further actions, such as IP bans, that only administrators have the power to do. I believe that's what he said back at Miniclip.

[acef596]

Wait, how did you become an Admin? Secret?
He became a t-mod,then mod,then the ceo or ben asked him if he wanted to be an employee for miniclip he said yes and signed a contract.I think that is what RFS said happen from one time I forgot when he said it.

I belive that mods can ip ban too.Not sure but I think so.

[Dracophile]

Wait, how did you become an Admin? Secret?

Basically whenever Club Penguin debuted on Miniclip in March 2006, the forums there quickly became one of the largest and fastest growing communities (thanks Vital Viper, you and your 80 referrals...:rolleyes: ). The two game developer mods (Screenhog/rsnail) were not enough to keep up with it, and most of the existing staff at the time (Guitarist, CrazyBot, Jediskipdogg, Ben, and Ambermouse) had no idea what was going on in that forum or community.

Myself and a couple of others were literally taking "pot shots" at people, the equivalent of just pushing people around to rowl them up, but because of our activity there we actually KNEW what was going on in the forums. Since I had been spearheading a lot of good ideas on the forums already (I had the art forum created, some sub forums, and also suggested changed to the ban system) Ben asked me essentially, "If you promise you'll work on not being as mean, we would really love to have you aboard as a Moderator."

So basically I took up the orange name that was completely unexpected and a big surprize to me, and I got to work in sorting out the CP forums. I have a lot of experience using and manipulating vBulletin software (RFSHQ runs vBulletin and we have lots of great ideas and plugins running) so Ben offered me a spot as Administrator a few months later to further handle the now massive community. Basically I could now speak and act directly on behalf of what you all wanted, making new subforums, banning the IPs of bad spammers, and tweaking some various forum bits.

In December I took it upon myself to write up a lengthy proposal and sent it to the powers above asking for a second vBulletin, and two months later these forums were created. And, basically, that's the story. :P If I can turn around from being banned and warned by the staff to literally running the place, then mostly anyone can if they put effort into it.

Well, RFSHQ stuff isn't exactly related to these forums, but you have some good questions here. We buy our domains from GoDaddy.com, they are $8 per year. Our host is DreamHost.com, and they are a monthly payment instead of a yearly payment. As for RFSHQ being popular, I really wish I could say it was, but I don't consider it to be. We've been active for over three years and have yet to break 1,000 members or the 100,000th rank on Alexa.com. Mostly though, we do not advertise at all, so it is word of mouth that gets visitors.

Moderators are "volunteers", Administrators are employees of the company, so in short yes.

Staff members have earned the right to enjoy a fee bonuses that other users do not get. Among these little bonuses are bigger signature limits and custom title permissions.

What is the biggest problem on the forums?

Right now I would have to say users that post just to post and offer nothing to the community.

RFS, when a post is reported, does it show who reported the post in the staff forum?

Yes, when a post is reported it says:
- Who reported the post
- Why (What you type into the reason box)
- A copy of the offending post
- Who posted the offending post
- A link to the post

Nope, they just tote HUGE filesizes, that's why we dont allow them. Most websites don't.

Mini as in "Miniature" and Clip refers to things like short shows (Dancing Bush) and games.

And I could also care less what happens in IAAF's chat room.

Why did I get a RV rank for posting a chapter of Harry Potter?

Because you have to buy the book. What you posted was illegal.

[acef596]

Does the ceo have two accounts becuase too accounts have the same rank.
Forumadmin is the first member and has the rank istrator as well as the account ADMINISTRATOR.Is that the same person or different people?

forumadmin is the root admin account. It doesn't belong to anyone, although Ben will have access to it. Rob, the CEO, only has one account, and thats ADMINISTRATOR.

Hey RFS, I have a question for you. As you know, many of the members here ask Club Penguin moderators to do many things in Club Penguin. This includes blocking certain words and adding rules against things such as trading penguins.

Now I have a lot more on my plate to keep up with, and I also have a team of moderators who know more about the game than I do. For all I know the account has been banned/deleted for inactivity.

RFS so did you get my e-mail?

I have another question, all the moderators are Americans?

Edit: may I use this avatar?

- I will check my inbox again today.

- No, some of them are from England and other countries.

- It looks a little too close to some of the ones that Moderators were using a while ago.

On some other forums, they have other features in the User CP...
Are there any here that are disabled, such as a Journal on a different forum?

Also, Do you still have your job at the movies?
I remembered your thread on miniclip, where you could ask questions about you working there. :P

As far as I know, a Journal is an outside modification to the forum. We don't have that feature. Some User CP features that are disabled is really just Custom Title. You have access to everything else.

And yes, I still have my job at the movies. Been there for 14 months now.

I have a few questions.

Are there different levels for Rule Violators? Like some that are more points and some that are none at all? If so, what are they?

I'll post again once I remember it,http://forums.miniclip.com/images/smilies/icon_xd.gif

Thanks.

Shouldn't there be a goodbye thread for everyone to say goodbye like the if you are new say hi here thread?

A few months ago, we had an entire sub-forum on the subject, but was then trashed due to the fact that it was used for several popularity scams.

No, all are worth 1 point unless a moderator makes a custom infraction

Thanks.

Nope. Those people just get banned.

I've seen some users get away with small profainity, like the"A", "C" and "D" words. Are those allowed?

[~CreamY~]

Can we post diffrent stuff then games in the programming penguins forum. Say like a program we made.

If by "A" you mean a ruder term for "butt", yes. If by "C" you mean a ruder term for "number 2", yes. And if by "D" you mean a ruder term for "darn", yes.

Sure! Someone posted I believe some kind of emoticon helper program. It's not restricted to games-only, but if you're going to post a new thread you STILL need some kind of demo or beta to test.

Is there any hope that any more features will be added to the forum such as Miniclip's imfamous "Debate" sub-forum or any others?

The Debate forum will not be making an appearance here. As for future subforums, no one can be certain. These forums have a subforum for Pokemon, while MC doesn't. Likewise, MC has a Debate forum, these don't.
