Just a test post

Just a test post to infract myself!

[Teresa]

Here are a few more posts to crack me on!

[Teresa]

And another one.

[Teresa]

Whoohoooooooo!

[pamziaw]

...? Are you T? Or T in disguise or someone faking to be T? Or T from an alternate reality? Or are you just T Fluffing about? Eh?

[VoodooJoint]

It's T gone crazy. She uses inactive alter egos to test new features on herself as a regular member.

[pamziaw]

Aaah! Righty! I was just reading about the new impaction system, is that what the red thingy is?

[CavySpirit]

Yup. You can double click on the red or yellow thingee to see what the impaction was all about.

[pamziaw]

He he! I like! That's very cool. Will be useful as sometimes when theres a troublesome member if the mods arn't in the discussion its handy to still see that their posts have been noticed and dealt with. Have you given any out yet? If you don't mind me asking.

[VoodooJoint]

We've given out several.

[clover-crystal]

I'm surprised you didn't have to ban yourself Teresa.

[pamziaw]

Was going to say but don't like to bite the trout that feeds me!

[CavySpirit]

Well, here some real examples you can take a look at.

All impactions also show on the public profile. So, you can click on the member's name in the post, and on the menu pull-down, select view public profile. There you can see if they have any additional impactions and their total poo points. We can also issue impactions to a member without a specific post, such as:

There are a couple of features I wish they would add to this system. I've requested them. We'll see if anyone steps up to the plate. In the meantime, I believe this is already making our moderation life a lot easier. We pretty much had to do the same thing anyway, only a lot of cut and pasting and manual tracking and logging. We had already kept track of everyone's warnings (1st, 2nd and 3rd and restricted or banned) in our moderater forum. This is much easier.

Tis very cool! I don't see where the impactions are on stipma's profie though, maybe i'm just not looking hard enough.

[Ly&Pigs]

I've just found out it's set where only Admin or Mods see it. Maybe T can change that.

We started the infaction/impaction system after Stipma pounced upon the forum. We don't give infractions for posts made before we started the system.

Stipma has gotten one impaction for changing her email to an invalid one though. I think you should be able to see it in her profile.

[Teresa]

No, they are right. Regular members can't any infractions on the public profiles. I'm working to try to change that. It's not a standard setting. I'm going to have to get more creative.
