Hi Sam, any changes to rule No. 5 & 6 that we are not aware of?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Question : My points were zapped simultaneously within a span of 3 mins by the same nick. Does that constitute an abuse of the system?

You were zapped by TCSS controller. He's the mod in charge of dealing with spammers.

I see. That's to say "The Special One" has been vested with absolute power to dictate this BBS?

Nothing special. I can't run this forum all by myself. There are more than 3000 messages posted daily. I therefore have to enlist the help of a team to help prevent spamming.

That leaves me with time to perform the technical tasks such as database and server maintenance plus upgrades and updates.

All forums have spam controls in place. It would be a huge mess here otherwise.

If you want a forum where you have complete freedom to do as you please, you can easily start one of your own and you'll have absolute say as to what can and cannot be posted. You can get the software from http://www.vbulletin.com and there are plenty of hosting companies eg http://www.hostican.com who will do the server set up and run the installation scripts for you if you're not familiar with pearl, mysql, php etc. Their tech support rate is in the region of USD75 per hour. Getting a forum up and running should take less than 3 hours.

Hi,

I would like to make an official apology to Sex-ified for using abusive words and vulgarities when zapping. Sex-ified, I'm truly sorry.

I repent what I have done and will follow the rules form this instance. I promise no more abusive acts in future.

Hope bosses can accept this public apology and re-instate my status.

Thanks.

Boss, the last time I upped a samster was on 7/10/10. But when i try to up a bro now, the system prompt "U have given too much reputuation in the last 24 hr, try again later". How is it so?

Apology if theres any changes that I know not of.

Just wondering, today was a bit curious abt all the points/repu system so came to this thread to read. I join sbf since 2005 so by rule:

4. 1 point of reputation power is gained every ONE YEAR.

I shd have at least 5 reputation power? but i got 0

hmmm...just wondering if i decipher the rule 4. correctly.

You skipped the first para. You need a reputation of at least 35 before power kicks in. You're currently at 14.

You can't do that because you have no power. x + 0 = x.

Don't you understand basic arithmetic???

[Big Sexy]
