Recent spat of spammers [June 20, 2009]

Posted by: ruegore - 06-20-2009 11:38 PM - Replies (5)

I'm sure some of you regulars have been noticing someone posting threads in the DPG Movies board with a malformed URL that contains "I AM GAY". I'm asking everyone to be on the lookout for these threads and report them as soon as possible.

All you have to do is click the "REPORT" button located at the bottom right-hand of the post, fill out the form and then submit it. It only takes a few seconds and it helps us clean this crap up.

I'm pretty sure it's the same person over and over again registering new accounts everytime we ban a previous one, thus the member will only have a low post count. Unfortunately, this person uses a proxy when registering a new account, and always with a different @gmail.com email address, so it makes it near impossible to completely block this one. I figure eventually they will stop.

Thanks everybody! Angel

Forum Updates: Wiki, Encodes Database, New Rules

Posted by: leoedin - 05-31-2009 12:08 PM - Replies (8)

I've been doing a lot of work over the last few weeks on a number of things. (It's amazing how exams focus the mind). This post is just an update on the new links and forms that seem to be appearing everywhere.

Wiki

Yes! It's here! Finally! The wiki is back from the dead. With an all new look (well, actually a familiar look...), and some nice getting-started guides to, well, get you started. It's not complete, but that's where you come in.

If you read an article in the wiki and thing you know anything that could help the article, please contribute.

The wiki can be accessed from the link in the main menu bar.

Encodes Database

It was requested, so here it is. We had something like this before, but this one's automatic and much easier to use.
If you start a new thread in the DPG forums (movies, tv, shorts), you'll notice a new lot of boxes at the bottom of your screen. These are pretty self explanatory - Genre, Filename, Size, Notes. These will be combined along with your username and a link to the thread in the encodes list on the wiki. The list for movies can be seen by clicking this link.

The encodes are put on pages by month, and each month the main page will automatically reset. The previous months data will be available on individual monthly pages. Click the links below the main list for the previous months encodes.

All new threads made in the media sharing boards (Movies, TV shows, Comics) are automatically added to the list. You don't need to do anything. Threads made before today will not be added automaticallly. If you wish to add an encode uploaded before yesterday to the list, please click on this link to submit the movie. Please check the existing list first, as I've added some of the movies on the first page already.

New Rules

They were complained about, so they were fixed. The rules were aging (not very gracefully), so I've completely redone them. The result can be seen at the rules page. The basic rules are displayed, while clicking the links on the right will display more in depth rules. You don't need to read the in depth ones however, but we felt that we couldn't cut much off the rules without blurring their meaning.

A reminder on signatures

Posted by: ruegore - 05-27-2009 01:21 AM - Replies (12)

It's been over a year since I've made this little reminder, so here it is again! Angel

SIGNATURE RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

MAXIMUM OF 500 PIXELS WIDE
MAXIMUM OF 200 PIXELS TALL
MAXIMUM OF 100.00 KILOBYTES TOTAL FILE SIZE (NOT "ON DISK")

DON'T KNOW WHAT 500X200 LOOKS LIKE? TAKE A LOOK AT THIS EXAMPLE:
[Image: siglimitsot7.png]

THERE ARE MORE LIMITS FOR THOSE THAT WISH TO USE ANIMATED IMAGES, USERBARS, AND SIGNATURES THAT CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE IMAGE.
REFER TO SECTION 3 OF THE RULES FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION

SIGNATURE (AND AVATAR) IMAGES ARE REMOVED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE IF FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THESE VERY SIMPLE RULES.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES WILL LEAD TO A SUSPENSION, THEN A BAN IF YOUR SIGNATURE (AND/OR AVATAR) IS REMOVED TOO MANY TIMES.

Update: We also have an (unofficial) Steam group. You can visit it here. It's not moderated by forum staff, so we're not responsible for anything you may see on it, disturbing or not.

	Easy there. Yes, you're still at GBA The Movie Way. Something went wrong and Leo is trying to figure it out. Sit tight; hopefully this won't take too long. Edit: Okay, everything is back to normal! Thanks Leo!

Just a slight update. Nothing major.

Necropost: Updated notice text

It should now read as thus:

That is all. Tootz

(No good pictures this week, but this was the most ridiculous. Big Grin

)

I would just like to give Nintendo a big pat on the back for the quality their churning out all across the board. Nice job, Nintendo.[/sarcasm] Tootz

Also, new setup this week: it's pretty easy to understand. If you don't like it, complain, and I'll think about changing it. Tongue
