Asshats Forum

I see the Asshats forum is the new wasteland, tell me, what good is it if we can't all post there?

Don't make me be a special type of asshole to get myself in there, please :-!

This is one for Teatime.

At the moment it's restricted to a few special people to post into. Kind of like the sin bin in basketball.
Its function may change as we see what works and what doesn't, but the idea is to get a script working where we can restrict some peoples' posting privileges to that forum only.

Asshats is a sick place. You don't want to go there.

BTW Teatime, the sin bin? Is that a british thing?

I thought it was an american thing. When someone in a sports game does something bad, so they have to sit out on the side for a bit before being let back in.

...penalty box. And that's hockey.

And that's hockey.

Which is more Canadian than American. Football (the REAL kind) is American. As for hockey....well, we're still trying to figure that one out.

In other sports they get suspended, for a few games.

Hey, MurPH, if our football 'isn't real football', how come the NFL keeps poaching our players?

You're both wrong gents, the real football is what you commonly refer to as soccer [which is an abbreviation of association football].

Ah, well, you see......*makes a mad dash for the door*

I was joking around. No harm intended. I barely follow football anyway, so...meh.

PS: Go Eagles!

I don't see the point of the Asshats forum if FR and Janus can still post in other forums.

I agree so much it hurts, GG. But Teatime says they're working on it.

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Sun Aug 29, 2004 7:34 pm

I say we go back to the initial idea and just ban them,

Uh, you just assign User Groups, right? Create a group that has no access (all rights flags to zero) to any other forums than the Asshats-forum (the mirror image of the "average member" -user group). Then change the user's group between the Asshats and Normal Members, right?

It can't be that hard.

Just as an experiment I have allowed all registered users to post and reply. When DU gets the appropriate script in place so that members cannot post elsewhere then it will have more of a point but maybe in the meantime we should make it a Wastleand-type forum? For the newbs that aren't familiar with the old Wasteland forum - anything goes but "what goes in the Wasteland stays in the Wasteland".

Trust me, it is. You can't setup a group that disallows access to forums that have their permissions set to allow registered users. By default, we can only disalllow people from posting in special "usergroup only" forums but can't prevent a specific usergroup from posting in a forum that is "allow registered users".

... and If you'll note, I just said the same thing twice.

I certainly think I deserve to post there. So come on all ye mods, and march down to the water, something something, and sign me up.
