Yeah - but please, block Shambler before he posts about his.... spam protection scripts?

WTF? 

Or just make it so you can't post unless you're logged into a valid user account? And then delete the spammer account.

Profit? 

Chicks? 

since the linseo guys are so consistent, I may actually block based on username in this case.

I also should make it possible to flag discussion threads as spam -- right now moderators can only edit them, not censor them entirely, unlike news threads -- which is why you see those threads called "deleted".

Also I recently created a one-click spam flagging system for posts, which i've been using for a few months. It was my first attempt to do something with AJAX, and since it seems to be working without any bugs so far, I should make it available to moderators too.

I also never addressed the problem of spam user accounts, but since the linseo guys are now creating one per post, I should add the ability to flag them too.

One thing I really don't want to do is add any inconvenience for users -- so as long as moderation works well enough, I will leave anonymous posting open. If the volume of spam ever increases to where it's unmanageable, i either have to improve the UI for moderators, create some automatic filter system (i.e. automatically flag things as "likely spam"), or close anonymous posting. 

I'd just like it to be know, 100% of the spam was while I was not moderator. 

By Speedy. I missed this one when it was released, cool map!

also try his map "cogs of conflict" 

Interesting idea with the exploring, but the map felt flat with too many low ceilings, it lacked vertical gameplay elements. The ending was just strange and did not make any sense, I was expecting more. 

...was intended to weed out people who didn't use coloured light. 

Add more moderators maybe? Means less work for each. 

if necessary, but the main point i was making above is that there are a lot of things moderators can't currently do (flag discussion threads, flag individual posts, flag user accounts), so i need to add those features. Right now they can only flag news submissions as spam, and they can edit, but not remove, discussion threads. 

I was just saying that because the existing mods complained that there was too much spam for them to handle. I like your policy of not changing the board's mechanics if at all possible. 

The Quake HD Ultra Quality Sound Pack Remastered 2012 pack is a project to finally introduce the world to a better and improved aural experience in Quake. Quake came out in 1996, 12 years ago. Back then computers used much inferior sound hardware from what we have today. The Soundblaster could only playback 11kHz sounds, so that was what id Software used for the game sounds of Quake. The soundtrack on the other hand was released on CD, so they could use 44.1kHz for it. However, 12 years ago CD audio was still in its early days, sound engineers vastly improved the capatibility of audio hardware and especially CD mastering mechanisms. So, just like the game sounds, the Quake soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired for the audiophile's ears.

As a connoisseur of audio architecture and aural design I decided to remaster all the sounds of Quake to give the world an experience like id Software would have released, if only they had the technical options back then.

...in a good way! That's the way Quake was meant to sound. Plays perfectly with the "Much Obliged" episode. 

Nice work! Shame I just played Honey without it (was still AMAZING :) )

These are purely remastered versions of the id sounds right? Everything sounds like a sexier version of the original game sounds yeah, no weird beatboxed stuff or monster impressions? :)

This isn't news worthy? 

than 

 

and a new czg episode awaits no less.

What did I miss? 

Were you successful? 

 

not quite according to plan.

The plan was to go up Gokyo valley, cross Cho La pass and then go up Everest valley to EBC. But it snowed heavily while we were in Gokyo and Cho La became very risky to cross. We went around a mountain to get to Everest valley but that took a fair bit of time and because of being on a schedule, I didnt have time to then go up to EBC.

But, did climb Gokyo Ri, which is only 4m shorter than EBC's height, and the panoramic views of the Himalayas from there, including Everest, were stunning.
