Ok, who is deleting all the Wakfu threads on /co/ all of a sudden, and why? It looks kind of anime-ish, and it's video game inspired, but it's a genuine French cartoon. I.E., western media. People are getting pissed and spamming up the board with shit because these threads are suddenly going missing. Am I missing something?
>>
Don't delete them.

IRC...

I keep trying to log into the IRC chat, and it won't put me in the room... help? How can I get back in ?

Also: thank you to anyone who's helping/watching out in /s/. I have been swamped with photoshoots lately, i've been at places where I can go to SFW boards only, and really haven't been able to get in there to watch the board :D
>>
There is a new passkey.

/join #janiteam skeeter

>>1264

Ah! Thanks!

What happened to the sticky in /s?

Can someone post a link to the latest janitor extension? Ever since I had to update my password, the delete buttons do not work and I'd like to reinstall it to see if that will fix it.
>>
nevermind.. found the link in another post, but re-installing didn't work at all.

I've tried everything to get the delete buttons to work again.. any help?
>>
File deleted.
Not sure if this will help, but here is the error log for Firefox.

Unsurprisingly, they look like they're from the extension.
>>
Did you change your "Personal Janitor Password" in the extension's config? You may also need to reset your username in the same place.
>>
>>1260

Yep did that too. The weird thing is that it lets me use the Ban button, but not the Delete button, so it's not a problem with my password.

File deleted.
Can we PLEASE get a Ban-on-Sight for Lanced Jack? I was speaking with moot yesterday, and he banned his User/Sectrip but that fucker has evaded and is shitting up the board again.

About 50% of all reports are due to his blatant trolling and spamming of threads with Lucky Star pictures.

Seriously, he makes me miss the days of Toxic Jester.

ok
i will ban now
please let me know if anything else like this happens
i dont actively check /j/
:((((((((((((((
>>
>>1248
i have banned them and will be on the watch for an hour
please let me know if he continues after that
i will do what i can
>>
been banrequesting all the shit i've seen from him, identifying him as lanced jack in each one.

hopefully this will move things along better.
>>
>>1252

How do we let you know? Nobody responds in #janiteam

I've submitted like 15 ban requests because he is back.
>>
>>1255
People respond eventually. Even if they don't say anything, things get taken care of sooner or later. You just have to idle.

File deleted.
Please? Some users in /co/ have asked for it and it seems like a good idea to keep "omg watchmen movie" posts in [mostly] one thread.
>>
This probably is actually a good idea, even though it's been out for a bit already.

File deleted.
/tv/ is slowly becoming the new /n/ews. With threads about the latest presidential debate to McCain's daughter. The election is coming closer and closer and the number of threads are on the rise.
Could someone please have a sticky to remind people that /tv/ is not /n/ews
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>1235

and also a nice little reminder that /s/ is not /r/, jailbait is still underage and isn't allowed, and a warning to those anonymous' pretending to be board moderators that they are not.

been having some board troll issues. Can you tell? :)
>>
>>1236

We could do with a reminder to go to /r/ in /h/ as well. Lots of people have been forgetting that one, usually resulting in me having to delete half the board.
>>
>>1236

another add on: that posting peoples personal information, such as email, phone number, social security number (!!!) and IP address are NOT ALLOWED!!
>>
To use the thread for a common theme here, Id like to request a sticky for /h/. Can we remind people that posing a single image, with a rapidshare link is not acceptable? There has been an increasingly large number of people trying to use /h/ to whore up files they've uploaded to rapidshare, or advertise their shitty site. /h/ is an imageboard, not a linkdump and i think some people just aren't clear on that.
>>
>>1242
Seen this in /d/ lately as well. I fail to see the use in mass dumping links especially when they fail to even add descriptions or previews...

Hello,

can we please have some sort of "mild auto-ban" that prevents users - who have more than 5 ban requests pending - from posting until a mod reviews the ban-request?

I am suggesting that a feature be implemented so I can ban request UNIQUE IPs and thus not just "ban requesting every post of an invasion."
>>
>>1221
Even then, though, ban requesting isn't an ideal way to deal with an invasion since it depends too heavily on mods actually looking at the ban requests. If they're not, ban requesting would be no better at stopping an invasion than deleting would be.

Janitors just aren't equipped to deal with invasions and the like, and I'm not sure we're meant to be. Getting the attention of someone who IS equipped to deal with it is about the most effective strategy we have.

Ding ding ding!

Flag the board and delete the spam. Stop issuing tons ban requests--it does absolutely nothing if nobody is active, except flood the queue with junk. The only persons equipped to address a large-scale flood are MrVacBob and myself.

>>1216
>I get the feeling it's probably the same people doing it over and over again, since it's usually the same types of threads, so anything to stop them for a few minutes would be greatly appreciated.

What? The vast majority of these floods are done by bots/"viruses". The mods, for the most part, are just as ineffective against these types of attacks.
>>
>>1223
>Flag the board and delete the spam.

Yeah, I cringe when I see 600 ban requests on one IP. My fellow janitor brethren need to calm down on the request ban button in my opinion.

My main hard drive just died, and i have forgotten the password for the IRC channel. What would be the best way to get this back?
>>
File deleted.
Since you can access this board, I will assume that you have all the proper credentials to enter in the irc channel... also, I ask in the irc channel for the janitor extension a bunch of times before...

/join #janiteam patti

File deleted.
are certain words set to instaban in /b/? I posted something along the lines of "people are so butthurt about this image" and got banned for "Spamming" even though it was my first post in like 3 days.

Any help over here mods?

Thanks.
>>
File deleted.
I just tried the exact same text and nothing happened.
>>
You had it coming.
>>
this should probably be taken to IRC..it's not really janitor related at all..you can still delete illegal reports in /b/ while still being banned, afaik.
>>
>>1205
You can't report posts though, which is somewhat important for janitors. However the ban has probably expired anyway.

File deleted.
Can we make posting links to this site bannable? Every thread they start turns into complains of adware on their site, and that their content is easily available on rapidshares. An example of a thread like this is http://cgi.4chan.org/h/res/1270885.html
>>
Noticed this in /d/ as well, though not often.
>>
iirc i did this
>>
>>1198
i did ask about it in #janiteam a few days after posting it here, so possibly.

File deleted.
I'm curious about how to deal with these posters. For people not familiar with /co/, they're two role-playing posters that don't nessecarily break the rules, but they irritate a lot of the posters. I'd think it would be a good idea to ban them, but they haven't actually broken any rules.

/r/ permaban for ruby/misery gloom.
>>
>>1117

Can I ask for one for Wyatt Creed? He's been spamming Witch and Winx Club threads for months now and a lot of people are sick of them, since they usually consist of random screencaps. No real purpose to them except to piss people off, it seems.
>>
>>1141
seconding that his posts tend to cause nothing but drama. might necessitate another banning of his name/trip rather than just banning him, though - he might not be a troll.
>>
>>1141
Fun fact: Wyatt Creed IS Misery/Ruby Gloom, just a different name.

Requesting a sticky in /v/ for the Heavy Updates to TF2 since there are about a billion threads a day about it.. proposed title: RUSSIA TIME

File deleted.
On Saturday, Nickelodeon will be showing the last 4 episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender back to back. Avatar has quite a big following on /co/, to the point where it's easily one of the most popular shows on the board, but there's also a lot hate for it, due to people - deliberately or not - spamming threads about it all the time. Having a sticky for those episodes - possibly with a proviso that any Avatar talk not in the threads will be deleted, to appease those not in love with the show - would do a lot to keep both sides of the argument. Avatar's been a big part of /co/ since its opening, and the final episodes will be a big event for the board, so one way or another, there will be a lot of talk about the finale. A sticky would go a long way to keeping things tidier and happier around the board.

/b/ decided it would be a good plan to take over /e/ while they were having some issues. Thats why there are about a hundred that just say "/b/ crap". So would you kindly forgive my lack of notes and ban appropriately?
>>
>>1167

Haha, 163? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
>>
>>1174
Not really, there's barely over 100 more right now.

I just made a whole ton for /s/ and hc, so be aware too!
