from what I gather it seems to function a bit like Func_, with free-posting forums and a news section where articles need to be submitted for approval. What other functionality did you have in mind? 

good to see the general population of the board agrees to stream advertising. 

Come on now, let it rest. You seem to be the only one here who's bothered by what others find useful. 

Good to see the general population of the board agrees that you should stop using your fingers to type such nonsense with and instead use them to thoroughly scrape out under your foreskin and heartily inhale the extracts. 

Well bless my britches! So easy! I cannot believe more people haven't jumped in and contributed to the Quaddicted community.

So at Quaddicted I click on Wiki, scroll down to Wiki, click on that and from there all I see is what Wiki software Quaddicted uses and how to run it myself. So how the heck do I add something to Quaddicted specifically? Is it that hard to post a link and actually I don't know... encourage people with a tiny bit of direction? I guess not.

But you know what? Fuck it. I have my own blog and I'll host my own maps on dropbox etc. and spread the word through Twitter, YouTube, r/Quake and func_. And yes I will email them to Spirit as well. 

If the mods don't take issue with someone posting their stream, it's a non-issue. 

it is commercial advertising. 

Twitch is certainly not a clickbait site, has no ads and I've read that its streamers gain nothing from viewers. 

Ionous's stream posts are a good argument for a delete button. It's not very useful when they're still laying around after the stream is already over.

But I wouldn't say that in lieu of a delete/edit button for our own posts we should disallow stream ads.
Is it really so difficult to scroll past the post, or roll your eyes and click back when you open a new post notification and it's a stream ad? They're ten times less annoying than actual spam and some people even appreciate them being around.

From my perspective megaman is just coming across as lazy. It's too much work to ignore the thing that he doesn't like, so it'd be better if other people went to the trouble of deleting it or didn't bother to post in the first place. 

Just to show that tolerating or even defending this kind of content doesn't really make any sense.


BTW, why are my posts any different and/or more annoying than those of others? I don't really see the difference..? Please explain. 

Disregard #29603, no point in moving from Quaddicted if there would still be an obsessive, conceited jerk at the center of the thing. 

I mentioned it, because I actually think that a directory of map play-through recordings would be really cool to have.

However, the idea would be to have something that is community-driven, ofc. It's clear that work needs to be shifted from the mods to map authors, etc. The less work adding releases is, the better, because releases would be published sooner.

Basically create more infrastructure for the parts of quaddicted that can be formalized. 

I think my butt is taking quite a bit of abuse from my diet, oh boy. 

I only just now realized I forgot to add the megamap which explains the frustration... 'pon it! 

That's as easy as it can be, and Spirit has showed the path to several times on Quaddicted's forums. I myself have contributed adding some things there.

It isn't hard to find either how to do it. The matter is that almost no one has put the effort to do so, like negke have said.

Mind sharing this path one more time instead of just saying it is easy to find. I'd like to contribute if I can. 

As easy (or complicated) as most Wiki systems. Sign in on the forum page; then there aew "edit this page" links on each wiki page. You can create new pages from scratch by entering the corresponding url, e.g. quaddicted.com/tutorials_4_cats_etc. Images can be uploaded through the Media Manager at the bottom - awkward, but it works. Be sure to select the correct folder.

You can familiarize yourself with how things work by using the <a href=https://www.quaddicted.com/playground/playground">playground page</a> for testing and experimenting. 

Thanks negke, but I do not see "edit this page" links anywhere. Let's say in the links section I wanted to add another tutorial link for example.

As for the Media Manager, I just clicked on upload just to see what would be displayed and I get "You do not have the rights. This happens even in the playground section. Sorry I may just be confused here.

In the playground I see: "If permissions allow, you may create it by clicking on "Create this page". I do not see "Edit this page" or "Create this page" anywhere.

Is there a help page somewhere on quaddicted that explains this process? 

You need to be logged it, cookies and all. No special permissions required.

The only help page I know of is the Formatting Syntax. 

I am logged in and do not see "edit this page" on playground page either.

Where would we enter the page name (url) for a new article if we got this working? 

Will ask Spirit. 

 

it has several edit buttons of two kinds

In the playground I see: "If permissions allow, you may create it by clicking on "Create this page". I do not see "Edit this page" or "Create this page" anywhere.

Strange, it works for me too. Try adding /xxx to the url of any page in the wiki and see if the create this page button appears in that new one

There should be in that screenshot a third line below ''Sitemap Recent changes'' that says ''Logged in as: '' so maybe it didn't log you in. I remember that happening to me time ago, so better try to check in several places and refresh the pages to be more sure that you are really logged in. 

Fucking built it and they will come. 

Stupid web monitor service sent me to an older post. I guess I should read above. Sec...
