PW subforum moved to the bottom of the site as we look into other options; hiding it, mostly.

Calle got added as Contest Mod because her affection for the section was clear in her site mod candidacy interview.

Like last time with Jorick: this isn't about Contests changing hands but adding another set of hands.

Take heart. That wasn't you, or even me, but Mahz. We can't move entire subforums...yet.

People complained to Hedgehawk about politics and police issues dominating the status bar yesterday.

That's fair. We asked people to take these discussions to more appropriate places like a thread or a Discord channel. Also fair.

I was unaware this turned into a new rule Hedgehawk was actively policing. That, in my opinion, was a mistake. I've talked to Hedgehawk in the last few minutes, the result:

There is no ban on current affairs/politics in the status bar.

If people complain about seeing too much of it, if the issues discussed result in conflicts in the status bar, expect staff to tell you/whoever to move the discussion somewhere else.

Questions?

Thank you. That is a lot more clear than deleting statuses that are not a part of a conflict (and therefore breaking no rules) without explanation and inciting shitstorms in the status bar through increasingly inconsistent application of the moderation policies.

A follow-up question that comes to mind: have you considered moving this Ask an Admin thread out of the Off-Topic Section and into the News section?

As it is, a lot of info about the changing moderation of the site (eg. here, here, and of course, the quoted post above) can be found in this thread, which ends up buried quite often.

From what I have seen, the Discord is not a great place to reliably inform everyone about moderation decisions since not every member of the guild is in the server, and the status bar moves quickly so statuses are easily missed – and in today's case, the context deleted.

I do feel that the site could benefit from having a more casual chat thread like this more visible at the top.

Given that daddy's gone out for smokes, it certainly has the potential to be more informative than Mahz's Dev Journal is at the moment.

Fair point. I'll move it if you think it'll help.

As admirable as the intentions of the Ask an Admin thread are, I think we both know with the current antipathy between some users and the moderation that it'll never fully be used for, 'Chat with your mods, look they're cuddly humans too and not at all feral!' x)

IMO it might be better served in the News section for that reason.

This has been moved to news to make it more of a general updates, member question and staff answering kinda thread.

Like Mahz's journal used to be.

Speaking of updates:

Legend has a BBCode update ready but we need Mahz to push it.

And I haven't heard from him since he announced an update.

So. We wait.

On that BBCode update – hopefully you don't mind me tagging the man himself here to get some discussion going:

@LegendBegins

1) What sort of things should we expect from the update? I'm guessing that a fix for the site-breaker table is in the works, but might I see a working[justify]tag in my lifetime?

2) Should I hold back my 4k-word-and-counting guide to doing weird shit with tables to see if you fix the broken stuff I abuse in it first? Or could I get a sneak-peak?

I haven't gone through a round of review and rewrite with Mahz, so this is based on the LegendBegins Unapproved BBCode Parser™ and is subject to change.

1. Tables are completely fixed™. Half a dozen other glitches are fixed. I've requested that fonts be enabled, but that's my stretch goal—people use weird unicode anyway, so we might as well unify it under a feature to prevent it from breaking on unsupported devices.

2. I would hold off if I were you, but I'd be more than glad to send you the responses of whatever test cases you want to throw at it.

3. Send me your BBCode requests (anyone who wants to) and I can add them to the engine if they work. It's all custom, so the world is your oyster.

You can observe the progress of my fork here: github.com/LegendBegins/guild

@LegendBegins Since [justify][/justify] is being suggested, I do say we need a [left][/left] align as well despite that text is already defaulted to the left. Also, since we have [youtube][/youtube] integration, is there chance for [spotify][/spotify] to a be a thing too?

If this is the place where we slap down our coding wishlist, would it be possible to implement tabs?
