I agree with Gez.

By the way, for anyone interested, the [wiki] tag works now. I've been meaning to put that on this site for a while now. ;)

Why not making it zwiki, so as to also have dwiki (doom.wikia.com), swiki (skulltag wiki), and so on?

Wiki is being kept, but I went ahead and added zwiki, swiki, and dwiki. Should be pretty obvious what they all do. :)

This has to be the most retarded forum feature ever. The abuse of some people here is truly aggravating.

I vote for disabling the 'You' tag immediately.

I can see Graf's point but it isn't a problem yet because this thread is meant to mess with people, and it hasn't spread out. But he does have a point that it can be easily abused and it should probably have a eye kept on it.

Now if this was the ZDF or something I would be fullly in agreemnet for disabling it -- The abuse there by certain individuals would be a heck of a lot worse than it will probably be here.

I'm watching it closely. So far only 2 people have spoken out against it, and like InsanityBringer said it's never spread out from this thread (except if you count signatures). As stated in the original post, though, if it does get abused, it will be removed.

Well, like putting this in your signature:

Code: Select all

If [you][/you] reads this, he is dumb.
I've already taken action against people who have done that, though. What I've done is not the official consequence for it, that's going the "fun" route. It could have been much worse. But insulting the almighty "Username" will not be tolerated outside of this thread, and signatures are included with that.

Your signature is acceptable, until I get a complaint about it. That's thin ice, though, I am a bit skeptical of allowing it. :)

if it does seem barely acceptable i can change it. I dont want to tread on that path, even if the consequence is just a slap on the wrist, i could change it if it seem a bit too extreme... Seeing as i just joined this forum i dont wanna start on a bad note :wink:

@Gez:
Surely "X has done Y" is a giveaway that Y is a verb (all your examples are nouns)?
Anyway, JTS here means "Jumped The Shark" -- surely there are at least some people who remember what that means?

I could have said "Th1s m1sf33ture is 4 l00z0rs, just w4ch 411 teh scr1pt k1dd13s 4bu53 1t. SP SUXXX 11111oneoneone!!!", would that have been better? :P

/rolls eyes :roll:

If it upsets you that much, MartinHowe, I'll put an option in the UCP to disable it, just for you, even though I'm sure there are other people (including me) who would use it as well.
