ah ok, i was at work. :)
if it's caused by that, shouldn't the error just say that instead? error 42 is very cryptic. 

 

from Hitchhiker's Guide. 

Looks like the Lvl post broke the RSS feed. :D 

looks like the accented characters did it again:

* Under Water by T-k�l�k

I probably need to escape these chars or use the correct Character encoding in the xml or something. 

utf8_encode($foo);

Please unflag that post, I believe it banned my ip from posting (posting from anonymouse.org) 

I am assuming that is why I keep getting 'Error 71' every time I attempt to post, logged in or not, and why I CAN post from a proxy. 

Unflagged.

I can't remember for sure but i think if a registered account is associated with a flagged post, it blocks that account from posting. 

maybe it is IP-based. Can't remember and i don't have the source code in front of me right now. 

thanks 

I emailed you last night regarding this since I hadn't thought of anonymous proxy browsing to post, and hadn't thought that SOMEONEbler may have flagged one of my posts. So you can ignore that email (assuming the washington.edu email you have posted all over the site is still valid for you) 

That's all. 

 

! 

my english just awful

dammit 

Or at least can I flag his trolls as spam?

Having successfully lured sock into making awesome Q1 SP maps, it's unpleasant that his patience and professionalism is being tested by some puerile little twat who needs a good dose of STFU... 

I don't want to use spam tools to fight trolls. We can just argue with or ignore trolls like we always have. 

Func was down for about a day just now...this was due to SleepwalkR moving celephais.net to a new server. I have now updated the DNS and SleepwalkR fixed a configuration issue and it appears everything is back to normal. 

All good for me, DNS was down yesterday.

A few messages weren't marked as read but that was from the previous site.

have you considered using captcha for anonymous posts? Don't use it for register users, just anyone who posts without an account. I don't think there is much harm to free discussion and offers at least a little protection from spam 

i think we (moderators) are doing a pretty good job of flagging spam as it appears. The only thing that still bothers me is that spam posts are counted as "new posts" so you might visit a thread marked "new 1" and not find any legit new posts. And the other issue is that the spam posts are still displayed in the thread view isntead of completely hidden.

I don't want to fix the second problem without fixing the first (otherwise it would be really confusing to see "new 1" and then click and see zero posts.) 

can I be a mod again?
