FOR THE LAST <snip> TIME, I AM NOT ADMIN ANYMORE!
« on: October 28, 2013, 05:36:00 pm »
This is a final warning: FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, I AM NOT ADMIN ANYMORE! PLEASE STOP SENDING ME ADMIN REQUESTS AND OTHER THINGS THAT REQUIRES ADMIN PRIVILEGES!

List of people who can't read:
-Undisclosed, per Omnimaga rules. But it's very tempting to give names. Some people in question are hardcore programmers, so you know better, especially considering it has been very clear that I am only news editor since 2011 (on Cemetech I even had to sacrifice limited signature space with a warning in bold and on Omni my member title. Then there's my member color).


Anybody who will do this in the future will be permanently moved to my OmnomIRC and private messenging ignore list, with no chance of removal. The PM/e-mail sent will also be ignored and deleted, since it is not my job to forward this stuff to other admins either. This applies to anyone who got an Omni account, regardless of where I get the PM (Omnimaga, Cemetech, Ti-Planet, Planet-Casio, etc)

But again I wonder why I even bother with this warning topic, considering even a front page news and an epileptic Cemetech signature didn't help.

Well, why is that still happening? Two possibilities come to my mind:
* Your username being "DJ Omnimaga" may lead some people think that you still are the real Disc Jockey (DJ) of Omnimaga as you once were. (Ninja'd!)
* Some users may only be asking for advice due to your seniority.
I do understand, however, that too many requests easily become a PITA. :P

We tried it. That didn't quite work.

DJ is forever incorrectly entrenched in Omnimaga's imaginary as our Benevolent Dictator for Life.

Edit: ninja'd. SpiroH, it's pretty much the latter. Actually, I think the user in question tod me he only wanted you to get the admins. Which you couldn't because you, I and the admins in question were all asleep.

So yeah, DJ have the Internet equivalent of a wise man's big white beard on Omnimaga, everyone knows it's been 12 years he's been here on Omnimaga (which is a whole lot for an internet community) so I think it might be normal everyone goes after him for counsel.

Yeah, this very morning we've had a nasty user ('naharensthelm') flooding the site with lots of silly posts and as a matter of fact all mods were asleep because they all live on the other side of the Atlantic. Suggestion: try to engage some european guy as a mod too ('Sorunome' wouldn't mind, i guess)!

I already pushed the admins to appoint an active European mod.

Also this blog post sums up everyone's reaction this morning. I know right, coincidentally it also happened in another community I'm in on Facebook this morning, so this post sums it up for both.

So yeah, the first names you should be yelling for in case of emergency should be Eeems, Shmibs, DT and Fish, not me and DJ (although in certain cases I might be able to solve it up because I'm still CoT).

Not to hijack this topic, but I'm open for a mod/admin position.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

I agree, we do need a European moderator.

I thought that DJ was contacted to get an admins number? Anyway, I think a good way to combat bots when no one is around is to have a temp auto ban of a user if their respect gets to like -10 or -20 or something in a specific time period or don't allow people to post every 5-7 seconds! It was pretty amusing seeing the new posts almost get filled up that quickly!

Actually, the don't allow people to post every 5 seconds thing might solve the occasional double posting problem too.

Because even with regular sized (and underlined all-caps) and an epileptic signature, it was still not enough for people to get it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it still happened with large all caps and swearing. As for my nick, I still had it happen as DJ_O, so it wouldn't make a difference. Btw my nick used to be DJ Omnimaga Not Admin for a while, but the people who didn't realize I am not admin anymore kept complaining about its length. :P

Another issue is that my music sales on Reverbnation and Google ranking actually increased after I switched back to DJ Omnimaga.
Yeah, this very morning we've had a nasty user ('naharensthelm') flooding the site with lots of silly posts and as a matter of fact all mods were asleep because they all live on the other side of the Atlantic. Suggestion: try to engage some european guy as a mod too ('Sorunome' wouldn't mind, i guess)!

Yeah to answer this post and aeTIos' it would be nice if the team was renewed with new staff, but it would be better to get staff that are guaranteed to remain around in long terms and not disappearing for two months every few season or so. Also preferably not wait one year to give new CoT/Admin positions/whatever like last time :P (even if it means pushing back Omnimaga v7/SMF 2.0 upgrade.)


EDIT: Maybe sticky this? :P http://ourl.ca/18451

Hmm, I have a solution I think:
-Change your name completely, something like "noob1337" or so.
-Change your avatar. Why not blank? Remove you entire signature.
-Let the Admins change your level from editor to member,
-Change your post count to 10,
-Disable all PMing to you and
-Censor the word 'omnimaga' every time you use it.

Or they could ban you?
