SRL Archive - News and General

Serious comments please. ;)
EDIT: I was referring to stuff the Administrator team is not doing at the moment.
NOTE: This is in no way meant to get extra administrators.

In relation to what?

I guess I'll never know :(

I'd make SRL a better place, I would blurt out swearing… I would punish people accordingly of their actions… I would help people with there problems on the forums (like… Accounts being hacked… Lost passwords… and Almost anything!)… I would delete obscured posts / threads (with permission from other admins…)… and… That's about it! ^-^

Can't a mod do that? xD

Could you get anymore inside of his ass? Just a bit further?

Could you get anymore inside of his ass? Just a bit further?

Why so offensive? There's no need for that. I just asked for suggestions, and all serious ones are welcome.

Get your policies straight. Remove the stupid "We do not use java" message if you are actually going to from the front page

Sort out the forum errors… page numbers, bad links etc.

Prune

Get active staff

Ban idiotic members

Tell you mods to stop pissin around

Tel the devs to release good revisions, not 2 to delete 2 files.

Organize the forum. Its a shamble, and a mess.

1. Fix the page listings. Some of the longer threads that have 50+ pages, it makes the screen very wide, in fact you have to scroll to see all the pages. I would have it collapse so it would fit the screen better. Seems like a code involved project but it would be worth it in the end.

2. Reorganization of some of the Sub-forums. Some are in odd order and/or to hard to find when new people really need to see them.

3. Perhaps have a forum tutorial [In big letters, admin style] to show all the different forums and what each one is meant for. (If this is made then its obviously isn't easy to find, because I haven't seen one.)


That's three off the top of my head. I'm sure I had more… but I'm not a admin. I'll try to remember as I browse around the forums. And yes I know they are mainly just website changes.

extend sig size back to scrolling!!!

please gosh was so usefull i could put alot of info :
script stats/news/and nice other stuff

go ahead make some rules like no big pics or somthn but bring it back lol

Rep ++ to Daniel

That's what I would suggest as well

i would ban everybody >=) Nah, i would only ban gof becuase he calls be me whilke im siupar drunki

probably make a rule where is says: No posting while drunk :)

ty, appreciated :)

If I promised someone a bigger avatar, i'd give them it… -.-

It was removed to lower bandwidth…

Lower bandwidth = faster site = win

This was also done after the site was down for like 2 weeks if you recall…

Yeah that SUCKED and im not sure what i would do… I have to agree with Daniels suggestion with the devs, but at the same time, they are people who dont get payed, this is all volunteer, dont push them but give them ideas to act upon ;) (aka good management skills)… also i agree with Narcles post :D so i have pretty much no opinion of my own…

Could use pruning (both members and posts). Would like to see move active mods/admins policing the forum. That's it - everything else is good. Also, want tutorial database up :)

I want tutorials without the stupid search indexing shit that hobbit has put in.
i mean how hard would it be to categorize the tuts by scripting methods i.e. loops, failsafes, forms, arrays dtms, bitmaps, etc. etc. instead of alphabetically meaning the prehistoric outdated tutorials are displayed first. :duh:

Genius i tell you. Genius.

Another +1 for SRL

Daniel that is wht hobbit has done them index tags refer to what is inside

do all dtm tuts will be labaled [dtmXX] there for making the dtm tuts in alphabetical order.

If I was admin I would fix the spell checker and the bug reporter (which i semi succesfully did today just nielsie is being a big girl =p)

I would also make mods do their jobs better, I've seen some mods no names posting 3 word replys with nothing to do with the subject

I would give rep some use but also limit the amount some one can rep you
Eg. once every hour, and maybe 300 rep = cup

I would fix the things like in the members list it is an eyesore I would make it so that it is like the one on [unclean]Sythe[/unclean] *forgive me

he's still put them alphabetically instead of just writing:

Beginning SCAR
Link
Link

Loops
Link
Link

Arrays
Link
Link

etc.

EDIT: And tbh we don't even need that. We have a search button for a reason.

lots of stuff that everyone wants

reorganize some of the forums.
• Make BBQ Pit and a few others not add postcount.
• try to fix some site errors
• prune (51k members of which 2k are active)
• fix the page listings.
• get rid of a lot of the crap stuff thats relatively useless (bug tracker doesnt look like anyones doing anything. Link SRL Manual link to Freddy's new page. Calendar looks unused. A lot of the stuff on the main page)
• finish the tutorials project, cuz its weird right now :(

I'd clean up the tut section & such for free… site could do with a good cleanup.

irc://irc.thetorrentsource.org/thetorrentsource.org

for references if you really need then :p

Yay for posting on dial-up!

Here's some things I think should be done:

• Fix up the bug that happens when threads get over a certain amount of pages that make pages stretch (and also other minor forum errors).
• Get the tutorials section handled.
• Take an official stance on reflection in applications. If we're going to be using it, we need to make sure we're not divided on the topic when it comes to applications.

I would ban a shitload of people.


A serious one would be: make a script judging committee, when someone makes a script, some leet person would judge it, and depending of that you'll get some points or some cup when it's worth enough, also make that avatar size thingy clear. Pretty annoying.

This is thread what proves admins ain't no smart..:D

Daniel.Blaze, what's come over you? You used to be a better person efore you got all this pissy attitude. C'mon, Dan, stop treating this place as a shit-heap (even though parts of it is).

From: Negaal
also make that avatar size thingy clear. Pretty annoying.

That's called transparency ;) You'll need to do that yourself, it's quite easy ;)

Just had awesome IDEA!

Why don't we put all the highly used/good tuts into a Wiki system? Only thing is, it would probably be a bitch to convert.

From: Daniel.Blaze
Tel the devs to release good revisions, not 2 to delete 2 files.

First of all, devs generally don't have access to the public svn anyway.

Second, I'd rather 2 working revisions than 1 broken one.

Third, this has only happened once and is a simple mistake.

From: Negaal
also make that avatar size thingy clear. Pretty annoying.

If you are in multiple groups, it is the bigger size

Fix the huge pages thing. So annoying. Do the same with the Member List.

Update the required things for Members.

Have the stickys updated.

Ban the freaking leechers who contribute nothing. :(

Sorry they annoy me.

Mostly though, clean up the forums.

Why can't avatar just be file size, wouldn't that be easier?

Another +1 for SRL

Maybe if you understood them. Because they are categorized in methods, ie arrays, loops, Dtms etc ;)

I never finished Tutorial Island because Wizzy told me he was just going to put in something else later, so i decided not to waste my time further.

Maybe begin to comprehend something before flaming it ;)

Love Daniel :p 'Just a bit further'

If I was an admin I would just lack off my duties and fail to be a good example.

Seriously to everyone wanting world peace, it's not like you'd go around trying to do things that matter or ban people for more than a week…

If I was an admin I'd might start using SRL Stats when I run someone else's script…

If I was an admin I would just lack off my duties.

^ The funny thing is..I dont think your joking.

Meh..Everyone makes mistakes, thats why they have rubbers on the end of pencils ;).

No, I'm not joking…

I want some cup ffs. I wanna have Alba's face bigger! xD

Sad isn't it? I really used to like SRL. But now i realize just how hypocritical, and demeaning all of the "higher people" are on this forum.

I try doing nice this for the forum, I try helping out. What do I get? Shit from our so called great SCAR creator. I support KYAB when SRL shunted it aside. What happens now? JAVA IS ACCEPTED. I support the SRL staff on KYAB forums. What do I find out now? I WAS LIED TO AND I NOW LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT FOR TRYING TO PROTECT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Third, this has only happened once and is a simple mistake.

Aparently some devs do.
21 was not broken. And 22 and 23 were to just delete 2 files. That doesn't fix anything
OK fine it was a mistake, but it shouldn't happen.

BTW, Don't get me wrong Zephyr, I'm not blaming you. In fact, I seem to respect you and the inactive staff more than I respect the active staff atm. You should be an admin, you'd do a much better job then *AHEM* some people.

and you categorized them so well Hobbit! Cookie for you!
Don't start something unless you want to finish it. I say revert it back to how it was, and leave it. There was nothing wrong with it at all before you did whatever you did.

From: n3ss3s

Love Daniel 'Just a bit further'

See people! I speak my mind and other people agree with me. I'm not just some psycho who is randomly flaming a few people.
Love you too n3ss3s :p

You know, I know some staff actually agree with me as well. Maybe if you search around, someone will figure out what I'm saying.

Someone will catch what I'm saying ;) If you don't you're not ready for it yet

<3 to all

I would change my user title to "SRL Developer / Lazy Admin"

I would be like an administrator should be.

I would delete all users who is marked as 'Leecher' or 'First Time Poster' and who have'nt been on since 07

I would add a search option to search by rank in the members section

I think you're confusing condoms with abortions my friend ;)

I'd IP ban raymond permanently from the forums.

I'd like to fix the site errors/page listings too. Unforunately, none of the active admins has the power to do so.

Okay I have a question for everyone.

The reason why tut project isn't finished is because Wizzup? was planning to put in something else. Now my question is, do you still want me to finish the tutorial island project?

Yeah, Why not?

To be honest I would probably do nothing but just administrate the forums.

Really why are some of you getting to so pissed off *AHEM*. If you don't like how something is done here suggest it be changed but you don't have to go around saying you hate the place or treat it like it is a piece of shit. This is a FORUM not the fucking WORLD, if you are honestly that picky about how these forums are then you need to do a reality check and find something else to do…

but then again we have quite a few 'young' ones here…

Admins - there are a few things I read that I guess could be fixed, but I think all those are probably things only Dankness can fix.

But now i realize just how hypocritical, and demeaning all of the "higher people" are on this forum.

Times have changed man, reflection has ALWAYS been in SMART just not at the SRL Member and Public releases 'till recently. Even if they did support KYAB back in the day do you really think people would use it over SMART now?!?! You would still have to give KYAB the control of your mouse.

So stop your little bitching and whining fest and grow up. You say the admins piss you off, your the type of member that pisses me off, thinks your ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS or something, well your not. I have great respect for what the admins do for us here and I have no complaining of it.

From: HyperSecret
… just not at the SRL Member and Public releases 'till recently. Even if they did support KYAB back in the day do you really think people would use it over SMART now?!?! You would still have to give KYAB the control of your mouse.

The point is both are java based. One was rejected, one was accepted. One was rejected earlier, but behind he scenes, the other was accepted. We all know SMART appeared as soon as Solarwind was pushed aside: so much for the statement about not using our knowledge of java. That was the "official" reason KYAB was pushed away… but SMART had started right after.

Oh, I don't think I'm all that, and I'm probably much more mature than you. I'M SIMPLY ANSWERING A FUCKING QUESTION. Wizzup asked what would you do if you were an admin, and I answered. I didn't realize that was considered 'bitching.' And if you have no complaints about what state the forum is in atm, maybe you should look again, or actually look at a topic or something before answering a post. Even the STAFF think things should be changed around here.

i think this topic was supposed to generate positive ideas to make the forum a better place, not for everyone to get angry and disheveled.

im not sure if i got the point across, but when i said "get rid of crap" i meant that the forums are bloated with stuff, in some places, like the main page and random stuff that no one looks at/uses should be gotten rid of.

i also think a main page, seperate from the forums would be nice as a central area to download SRL/ links and stuff explaining about SRL, etc.

get rid of rep altogether. and dememberize a lot of the members.

Well, i'm not a Java supporter here, at a Pascal scripting community. I've never been and always won't be. It's sad that people are starting to use reflection in almost every one of their scripts. I know. I'm on your side as how hypocritical most of the users are on this forum, and i fully support you with it.

Halo Friendlies - Let's Be Friends

why are you so cruel
when you pick up the phone
when i come to your home
what did i do wrong?

do you remember back then
when we were good friends
but now you pretend
just to be nice

now i know who you are
you're just a big clown
with a big fake smile
and a big fake laugh

i just wanted to be your friend
but you wanted a kiss
all the fun and laughter we had
i will miss

don't you go around town
just putting me down
telling all yor friends
that i'm a fool

cuz i don't need your friends
and i don't need your jokes
i never wanted to be
more than your friend

but you think you're so cool
you can't handle the truth
your motives mislead
yet you call me a tease
why are you so mean?
you never call me back
you're giving me attitude
how'd you get so rude?
can't we just get along?
i didn't do you wrong
get over yourself
and let's be friends

cuz i don't want to go on
feeling this way
i wanna say hi
without you walking away

but if you want to stay mad
you just go right ahead
one day you'll grow up
and you'll be a man

:)

It slowed down the loading times of the pages. And since we had to downgrade our hosting plan, we can't really afford that. Also, they were annoying.

Daniel please be more clam, you are getting a little ridiculous and out of hand with your retorts. Infact a lot of you need to smarten up please.

This is just a simple question about how you feel the forums should be. And Daniel, this topic doesn't mean the staff thinks its junk, we just like to hear what people want.

Edit: deleted 40 spam/flaming posts… not cool

If I was an administrator? Probably be inactive, and post on other non-Runescape related forums.

Well I can't lie..:p

Ban daniel (oh wait i already can, should i?) and figure out how to make the "Users viewing this topic" thing that used to be down the bottom of the page come back. If it was cut because of bandwidth, couldnt the "Similar threads" be taken off instead? Users viewing was much more useful.

Was that cut? I was wondering where it went, but i thought i might've done something in my User CP that made it, so i left it. And cut the similar threads, (good idea ;)).

Don't ban me! :'(

AFAIK it was cut, nielsie and I have tried to figure out where it went but have had no luck.

Yarly, the similar threads is useless, Users Viewing was muchhh better.

I deleted all the unserious comments.

I would like to see "New release" button in every section , woodcutting , firemaking etc .. but afaik , it's only in fighting ? :(

Well for one ff I was an admin and IF I made a thread with the title "What would you do if you were an SRL-Administrator" I most definitely would NOT delete user's posts, I mean wth, isn't this thread to give YOUR OPINION on what YOU would DO if you were an Admin???

Hell it beats me if that wasn't the point.

omg you're the worst fucking admin i've ever met in my life. The question was what would you do if you were an SRL admin, and we answered. When did it suddenly become alright to censor people's freedom of speech.

GOD someone get rid of him.

and there was me thinking that now I've voiced my opinion I could go back to sitting back and watching as SRL slowly killed itself off. Apparently, Hobbit's already started this for us, though.

Im sorry, but if I'm not wrong, Hobbit was promoted to Admin because he helpped around the forums, he developed new SRL Procedures, He helped to fucking BUILD S-R-F**king-L! All I have seen you do since I have become active again is submit a script, get accepted into SRL Members, then become a complete f**kng cock and swear and flame every person who doesnt agree with your statements

and there was me thinking that now I've voiced my opinion I could go back to sitting back and watching as SRL slowly killed itself off. Apparently, Hobbit's already started this for us, though.
+1 for Hobbit

Shut up for f**k sake! Your such a douche-bag. You havent done a THING for the SRL community, not a f**king THING! SRL Kills itself off because people fail to like the new scripting techniques that come out. How has he started killing SRL off? You f**king retarded piece of sh*t. All he did was delete useless posts like yours because he was f**ked off with reading about you whining about the lack of help around the forums. I mean its stupid that you can even START to moan at the Admins for not doing their job, when all you have is 100 posts of which 3/4 of them include FLAME and annoying sh*t.



What other people have said already, that annoys me:

- Prune; Ok, 2k active members out of about 26k members. F**k me if Im going to prune all those. Why does it matter anyway? I mean its not like they are doing alot is it. Is it REALLY affecting your day to day life if some guy who hasnt been active in a few years is still on the SRL database?

- Fix page numbers; Code Related -> Dankness is inactive -> Shut the f**k up about it.

- Get rid of useless things llike the similar threads on the bottom of threads; How was it better to have "Such such is viewing this thread" Go back to the main page, click on "Active Users" and you can see what EVERYONE is viewing. Again, does it make your Forum Experience better if you know Wizzup? is looking at how to make a Form? No, not really.
- Give the scrolling sigs back; This DOES take up bandwith because the SRL server has to LOAD the photobucket or Imageshack page and display it for you to see. Ok, not that much, but if eveyrone has like 7 - 8 sigs or whatever, then thats ALOT of bandwith. Plus all of the scripts, attatchments, posts, etc. LOTS OF F**KING BANDWITH.

My Ideas…

I dont have any. To be honest, the Admins have real lifes outside of the SRL forums, and when they are on they are developing new SRL procedures and working on how to improve SCAR and SRL with the Devs, and when they arent doing that they are trying to keep the forum clean, so shut up about how they are doing a bad job. you try moderating 2000 members whilst writing new proc's and having a real f**king life.

Also, whilst I am ranting, Shut the f**k UP about reflection. If you dont like it, fine, dont f**king USE the b*stard. If you do, great! Use it! When a member submits a script to be voted on, you dont have to hate on him because he used reflection. If you hate reflection and you see someone with it, then just f**king ignore it and go onto a thread without reflection. If someone uses it well and their script runs and works, who gives a f**k about how they made it? Not me, to be honest.









Also, like HyperSecret said, THIS ISNT THE F**KING WORLD! Go out and play Football/Soccer. Get a few mates together and have a party, meet girls. GO OUT.

I dont mean every person on SRL has no life, but ones like.. er… Daniel.Blaze, who make CRAZY posts expecting everything to be done for them.

ANOTHER ALSO, SCAR scripting probably(well f**king WONT) help you in real life, so STOP bitching about every f**king update that comes out for the f**ker. PLEASE. Its so annoying to hear people whining about how 2 proc's are missing or whatever. Everyone makes mistakes. Thats why they put rubbers on the end of pencils, Mistakes.

I will, but i have to disagree with you on a couple things,

First you said that they have lives, well Wizzup? Made this topic so aparrently he wants to do more for the community, and the rest of the staff as well. Sure they have lives but if they made this topic, feel free to puc your 2 cents in.

Second about reflection, sure the script may work well and everything is hunky-dory, but the point of getting srl-membership is showing you can use classic hard SRL procedures, I dont mind people using reflection, just use as a backup, or have a backup…

Yes torrent you are correct in most aspects however I did like the users viewing thread it was rather interesting to see who was reading the thread you just posted.

All the rants about the code, I think somone who has contact with dankness should get him to st up an ftp account for the admins

Back on topic.

The page numbers, I have seen it on other invisionfree boards, like my current clan website. I can look into getting the code from them? It might be custom might not be.

The flame here is despicable. Its miserable, why can't we just be friends. We are all here for one cause, to screw around with JaGex. Lets just do that.

Someone with a brain! =D

I agree though, but isnt reflection still a pretty hard thing to get the hang of? If the SRL community is THAT split, maybe split he SRL Member status to SRL Core member and SRL Reflection Member. I mean, they are the same equal rank, but it means people who go "OMFGZZZ! Reflection sukz00rszz" would not have to vote on the Reflection Scripts. And Yeah, I agree about Wizzup? wanting feedback, but I dont think he expected people to whine about how the scrolling sig removal is ruining their lives and the extra members mean that there is less… I dno.. why are they complaining about this?

Yes torrent you are correct in most aspects however I did like the users viewing thread it was rather interesting to see who was reading the thread you just posted.

Yeah, I suppose it was fine, but stop complaining about it. Its not gunna change your life if it is there or not.

And I dont think the Admins know HOW to change the page numbers. Hobbit said they were looking into the code but didnt know how to put the "Users Viewing" back so Im sure they would not know how to make a retractable page number bar.

Yeah, its a sad sense of reality in which people live. I just… Ugh, it makes things hard to enjoy around here when you know that people are so ignorant to new ideas and oblivious to the benefits, AKA the reflection issue which I still believe to be COMPLETELY irrelevant to this topic.

Change is the life in which we live, when we stagnate, all is lost.

I did reread that though and it was a bit bad on the swearing front.

I mean most people cuss 2 or 3 times. I swore like 20-30 times =D


EDIT: I count 23

From: Torrent of Flame

What other people have said already, that annoys me:

- Prune; Ok, 2k active members out of about 26k members. F**k me if Im going to prune all those. Why does it matter anyway? I mean its not like they are doing alot is it. Is it REALLY affecting your day to day life if some guy who hasnt been active in a few years is still on the SRL database?

- Fix page numbers; Code Related -> Dankness is inactive -> Shut the f**k up about it.

- Get rid of useless things llike the similar threads on the bottom of threads; How was it better to have "Such such is viewing this thread" Go back to the main page, click on "Active Users" and you can see what EVERYONE is viewing. Again, does it make your Forum Experience better if you know Wizzup? is looking at how to make a Form? No, not really.

- Give the scrolling sigs back; This DOES take up bandwith because the SRL server has to LOAD the photobucket or Imageshack page and display it for you to see. Ok, not that much, but if eveyrone has like 7 - 8 sigs or whatever, then thats ALOT of bandwith. Plus all of the scripts, attatchments, posts, etc. LOTS OF F**KING BANDWITH.

My Ideas…

I dont have any. To be honest, the Admins have real lifes outside of the SRL forums, and when they are on they are developing new SRL procedures and working on how to improve SCAR and SRL with the Devs, and when they arent doing that they are trying to keep the forum clean, so shut up about how they are doing a bad job. you try moderating 2000 members whilst writing new proc's and having a real f**king life.

pruning - i can see pruning each individual person being difficult, but be-ent there a way to prune with a more specific purpose? like people with 1 post, or last logged on x days ago. and i can see 20k people being deleted possibly clearing up a good bit of space.

page numbers - its quite annoying and could be a nice fix.

useless things - useful and better than useless things. If you replace useless stuff with nice things, you have a better place ;).

scrolling sigs - i agree that they shouldnt be added back.

and finally. Could you please be quiet? This thread was obviously made because they thought improvements could be made. So if you dont have any good suggestions the contribute, then dont post because you are making it harder for the admins to look at actually serious posts with ideas and decide whether its a good idea and can be done.

get rid of the buddy list maybe? another of the things i dont think anyone uses.

I did make a suggestion. My suggestion was to stop suggesting those things I mentioned, because they cant be done easily.

Ban daniel (oh wait i already can, should i?) and figure out how to make the "Users viewing this topic" thing that used to be down the bottom of the page come back. If it was cut because of bandwidth, couldnt the "Similar threads" be taken off instead? Users viewing was much more useful.

I respect you The Claw. You are one of the few active staff member left I respect. You should also be an admin.

lol. Admin's going against each other. Good staff we have here :)

From: Torrent of Flame
Since C**tike you swear in every F**king you make!



Im sorry, but if I'm not wrong, Hobbit was promoted to Admin because he helpped around the forums, he developed new SRL Procedures, He helped to fucking BUILD S-R-F**king-L! All I have seen you do since I have become active again is submit a script, get accepted into SRL Members, then become a complete f**kng cock and swear and flame every person who doesnt agree with your statements



Shut up for f**k sake! Your such a douche-bag. You havent done a THING for the SRL community, not a f**king THING! SRL Kills itself off because people fail to like the new scripting techniques that come out. How has he started killing SRL off? You f**king retarded piece of sh*t. All he did was delete useless posts like yours because he was f**ked off with reading about you whining about the lack of help around the forums. I mean its stupid that you can even START to moan at the Admins for not doing their job, when all you have is 100 posts of which 3/4 of them include FLAME and annoying sh*t.

Well that made me lol. Anyone else?

RAM is one of the more mature people I know at this forum… but I suppose you have your opinions.


In all seriousness, if I were an admin, I would probably punish harsher and more. And start by handing out a few temp-bans in this thread. Too many people don't get any punishment when they do something. I would also enforce more respect around the forums. Remember, we are unique because our members aren't the ones who are constantly insulting others like you will see at other Runescape cheating forums. But more and more, I see that slipping away and us just fitting perfectly into the mold that other forums have set up. I would much rather not have that happen.

Maturity alone isn't enough.

"The best kings were never born king."

Maybe if RAM had actual skills he could actually lead instead of just writing nice paragraphs.

As far as I know RAM couldn't even make a script worthy of SRL members at the moment let alone lead the most advanced scripting community in history.

WT-Fawaki, BenLand100, Sumilion, Nielsie, and Boreas are the best examples of administrator material in my opinion, they all have the full maturity and skills needed to lead by example and creativity.

The other admins are lacking in one or more of those two main fields of leadership, I do think Starblaster, Flyboy, and Wizzup? are deserving of their position though because for what they lack in one field they make up for in the other.

Rams and Hobbit are lacking to much in the skills field, they would make great moderators though, but admin? not quite…

Freddy, Kait, Dylock, well hell! they made SCAR they should be admins…

They're are other good candidates I think aswell… tarajunky, the claw, raymond, yakman, zerphys, charmz… maybe a few others… I just don't really see Rams/Hobbit outranking these other people I listed, seems a bit out of place if you ask me…

Of course, what the hell does my opinion matter?

I'm just a plain old SRL member with some good scripting skills that have yet to be seen, that and I've been around for quite a while.

I guess it's about time I proved myself, but this talk is worth nothing…

Just wait until I get some of my projects out to you guys :sasmokin:

In my opinion, you are talking about skills for SRL Dev. Admin is all about maturity. The admins don't need to be skilled in scripting. That is why they separated the Dev section from Adminship.

Honesty I would open up the secret admin boards, read all them messages.
If the boards are a party house I would be happy, If the boards were boring I would be sad. Then I would go and prune all the annoying old and outdated scripts.

Well that last thing you said

My opinnion is the same but more like

That's what separates moderators from devs, admin on the other hand…. well…

But think about what an admin is. A person who administrates. In this case they monitor the site. Also make physical changes to the forum. Obviously when the current admins feel that someone is up to the task, they will promote them.

From: Daniel.Blaze
Could you get anymore inside of his ass? Just a bit further?

Haha.

If I were Administrator, I would be doing the same thing that you are doing. The site is running fine why change something that is going perfect?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with IceFire.

I think to be a successful admin (and even moderator) you need to gain respect from this community. Being mature alone will not gain you respect above other members. It will just make you am average member. Getting a lot of respect from this community requires you have extensive scripting knowledge, not just in delphi and pascal, but about SCAR and it's history. That is the reason people will look up to you, and that would be the reason people follow your instructions and rules.

To be respected, you have to do something extraordinary for the community, and the only thing that will gain you brownie points in that area is incredible scripting skills.

The on top of all of that, you have to show the current admins other skills which show that you can handle being an admin: you have to show you can lead a community (as that is what admins do), make mature decisions, but also know when to compromise and that you are dedicated to your cause.

All of the above are a must for decent admins. Some of the current ones just don't make the cut.

What? Is this Bash Hobbit and Masta day? Have you earned the respect of the other Admins to be promoted to Admin? No, I fail to see you have. Hobbit and Masta probably can script, but they just dont release their scripts publicly. And as far as I know, the idea of an Admin is to

monitor the site. Also make physical changes to the forum.

The idea of the Moderators? They moderate. Make sure things are working properly and stop bad things happening. They lock threads, hand out infractions, etc.

They dont NEED to be able to script at Administrator really, because thats why they have Devs! Admin/Mod monitor the forums, and the Devs update and make SRL better.

Quit the Hobbit and Masta bashing. I fail to see you being promoted to Moderator or Admin.

The on top of all of that, you have to show the current admins other skills which show that you can handle being [Edited to] Staff: you have to show you can lead a community (as that is what [Edited to] Staff do), make mature decisions, but also know when to compromise and that you are dedicated to your cause.

Unfortunately, he lacks in other areas.

urghh , get over it?? its not that big of a deal.

From: Daniel.Blaze

Make up a well written rant and post it somewhere else in this forum, will you?

From: Daniel.Blaze
Unfortunately, he lacks in other areas.

You lack respect, in my opinion.
I'd like to have you point out what should be done better rather than bitching around without real arguments.
You also didn't quite understand why I made this thread, too… Oh well, no one is perfect I guess… ;)

Dan to get admin/mod the other admins must think you deserve it, I respect all the admins and mods, respect isn't about liking someone,

If you can honestly say you have never made a mistake i will give you my lvl 102 main with 82 wc quest cape 10m and loads of other great stats.

I respect the people who have earned my respect, not the people who demand it.

I have already posted what I think you should do as an admin.

From: Daniel.Blaze

Get your policies straight. Remove the stupid "We do not use java" message if you are actually going to from the front page

Sort out the forum errors… page numbers, bad links etc.

Prune

Get active staff

Ban idiotic members

Tell you mods to stop pissin around

Tel the devs to release good revisions, not 2 to delete 2 files.

Organize the forum. Its a shamble, and a mess.

And as usual, no admin has done anything. Seems to be a running trend with the admins. They're all afraid to actually do anything and get their own hands dirty.

You seem to have made this thread to get ideas on what you can do to make the forum better. Many people have given you ideas, but nothing has been done. I bet nothing is even being discussed yet.

Instead, this thread has just pointed out how little you all actually do around here, and how much work this forum really needs. Yes i suppose, no one is perfect, eh? :rolleyes:


Waddo, you are correct, however I already know that.
I don't really like Wizzup, but I half respect him. I bet people such as Sumilion, Nielsie95, The Claw, Boreas, Zephyr really hate me, but I respect them greatly.

Everyone has made mistakes. That is how we grow up and mature. I have made many in my time, and have seen a lot. However, I do not think how I act on this forum is a mistake. I am simply being myself and trying to get the staff active, and realize just how much work they have to do around here. I'm doing that by being straight to the point, and not bothering to fluff everything up like most people do. The message is then lost, and not as effective.

I'm also asking them to be honest in the future. No one likes being lied to, or being made to look like a fool. They have done both to me.

1. Cry about it alittle more

2. Has been discussed and is going to be fixed

3. Has been discussed and is not going to happen, has happened alittle when the SRL Member SMART was released, pruned inactive SRL Members so they didn't get SMART

4. We have active staff, Wizzup?, The Claw, SB100 (come and go), Masta, BenLand100, Hobbit, WT-Fakawi (speaks when he needs to), Nielsie, tarajunky, c0de

and some to specific forums like, Zephr, n3ss3s, Markus, and Freddy

5. So ban you? :p , we have plenty of people that monitor posts and the 'idiots' that you refer to and if they need to be punished then they are, and if noobs = idiots then everyone is a noob at some point and just need time

6. How are the mods pissin around? I think this one is a personal hate problem

7. This was discussed before we last had to update SRL, search around before posting this one. Plus it has only happened once probably since SRL has started. (just wanted to find something to bitch about?)

8. Personally I don't think so, but it's your opinion, like the others…the search button is your friend if you need to specifically find something…it's only as big of a mess as you make it

just thought I would pick at your list alittle.

And the reasons are…? There is absolutely no good reason why members shouldn't be pruned apart from WT-Fakawi to make his posts about the numbers our registered members hit.

4. We have active staff, Wizzup?, The Claw, Masta, Hobbit

Fixt.
Maybe check activity bars? :rolleyes:

Out of that list, I respect The Claw.
Maybe Wizzup slightly.

Out of the inactive ones, I respect Nielsie, tarajunky, C0de, SB100, Sumilion,
RAM and WT-Fakawi slightly.

8. Personally I don't think so, but it's your opinion, like the others…the search button is your friend if you need to specifically find something…it's only as big of a mess as you make it

Yup, that's my opinion. Just as it is of a lot of other members.

just thought I would pick at your list alittle.

At least I made one and attempted to fulfill the point of this topic.

yersterday and 8/30/08 (saturday) is that to long between posts for you? so just because you can't see the post doesn't mean they aren't active. maybe check recent posts and see when they were last here to say something. activity bars, lol, just because the activity bar isn't in the red doesn't mean someone isn't active…


Can mods not be human and have some fun?

I'm not gonna say anything bad about any of those members, but they only have the odd post here or there.

Activity isn't just based solely on post count as well remember ;) I only see Hobbit locking threads or sorting things out, and anyone with his powers could do that. I see very little moderator and administrative work from the others.

Yes, they were all active back in the day, but as you all keep reminding me "Times have Changed" "We've moved on"

Maybe it's time for them to move on. I know a few already have by the looks of things.

So my statement still stands…"Get active staff" - someone who will do staff duties.

Well, Mastaraymond gave me an infraction only YESTERDAY so I feel he is doing his job… or is that not good enough. Quit the Admin/Mod bashing. It is getting you no respect. Even the Admins/Mods you respect probably dont respect you.

Thank you for your input.
Closed for now.
