Title: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 25, 2010, 10:49:44 am
Two weird things I've been noticing about this topic (http://ourl.ca/3595.new;topicseen#new) recently. First, the new posts aren't appearing (I use email notifications with text included, and it seems there are at least one or two pages of posts that I can't find anywhere :(), and when I tried adding a reply, it went just as always, but the post didn't show up either in the topic or in the New Posts list (or in OmnomIRC). It doesn't seem to be locked, though.

Also, someone seems to be enjoying rating down posts recently, especially in that topic :-\

I dunno what's going on, but I reverted the rating-down damage in that topic.

Curious, I was able to add a post there, but then again I'm an admin :P try it again and see if you are still not able to post.

Weird ... according to another email notification, you split that topic a few days ago. I can't find the split topics, though ???

I think it split to this topic (http://ourl.ca/6446).

Hm? No, I saw the split message days ago. Since then (and according to the order of my notifications, before then as well), a bunch of posts were added, but none are showing up. The last post I can see is ztrumpet handing Iambian a cherry. I started this topic to ask about it.

That's not what I meant. Sorry if it was confusing. 'This topic' hyperlinks to a different topic.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 10:29:55 am
Oh, ha. Didn't notice the link, sorry.

There are still those missing posts, though :(

I can post in it and I'm not an admin or staff, I'm just me...
What do you mean by missing posts?  Did you post in it and they didn't appear?
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 10:58:53 am
Well, according to the email notifications, there are a lot more than the 68 posts showing, and when I tried posting, it went as normal, but then didn't show up. None of the extra posts remotely match any of the ones I can see.

Some bug in the site?

EDIT: Whoa, what? Your post showed up? Must have been something wrong for the past week or something x.x
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: yunhua98 on July 26, 2010, 11:01:18 am
Were the posts in the email notifications by you?  Because otherwise it could be the email notifier glitching and sending in past posts, because if any of them were actual posts, someone else would have reported the same problem.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 11:03:09 am
No, they were new ones that didn't actually exist in the topic...

Or maybe not. I'll check.

EDIT: Yeah, definitely something wrong with posting, not the notifier. I can see that Builderboy added the post "Test" yesterday, but it's not in the topic anywhere.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: yunhua98 on July 26, 2010, 11:05:52 am
Are they related to the topic?
And can you see who posted it?
If there's one by me, one by calcdude84SE, and a couple by bungies, then they were moved to http://ourl.ca/6446

EDIT: Wait, can you see the one I posted 10 minutes ago about my version of a RRoT program?
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 11:18:55 am
Ohh, major mistake on my part. Yes, the "missing" posts were all part of the Bungie nonsense. Except Builderboy's "Test" and my post before that...

Yeah, I can see yours. Weird.

Anyway, I just saw this thread (http://ourl.ca/6436/104414), so I understand the Bungie business now. Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't on Omni for five days, and didn't see any of this :P

Still a hole in the posts not cleared up. And by the way, did we ever figure out who "Bungie" is?
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: yunhua98 on July 26, 2010, 11:24:01 am
No, I think the Admins are handling that in their hidden forum, but idk.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 11:31:14 am
Oh, I see. So it's all being taken care of. Good to know :)

EDIT: Wait, the missing posts or Bungie?
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: yunhua98 on July 26, 2010, 11:34:57 am
Bungie, the missing posts are moved to the Randomness thread under the name Bungie Fungi.  Besides Eeem's post, which he probably deleted.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Deep Toaster on July 26, 2010, 11:36:56 am
There's still my post, though. Oh well, it seems to be fixed now.
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: qazz42 on July 26, 2010, 04:54:15 pm
Yeah, it seems that this bungie guys is really becoming a problem
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Builderboy on July 26, 2010, 04:56:39 pm
Actually we haven't heard from him it 2 days, it was really only that first day that there was any disturbance at all, it all seems to have cleared up :)
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: qazz42 on July 26, 2010, 04:59:06 pm
Oh, really? Well, I didnt know that O_o


If he spawns again...
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: Builderboy on July 26, 2010, 05:02:04 pm
well right now we have registration approval enabled, so we should be able to catch him before he even tries to register on Omni again :) For now, at least, i think we can rest a little easier

Well actually it's account activation by the member, but it still seems to have stopped problems. I'll probably remove that annoyance soon, though, and see how things goes. (I hate account activation, because a lot of people never receives the activation e-mail)
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: qazz42 on July 29, 2010, 04:25:17 pm
Hmm, perhaps we can screen all new members, and if the name is bungie, he wont be accepted?
Title: Re: Something weird going on...
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 29, 2010, 09:18:09 pm
He would just use a different nick :P

It doesn't matter much anyway, since all we need to do is the same thing as spambots that gets past our filters: delete/ban them :P

Except for the ones that help us win the game.
