Ask the Staff Anything

[Vergil'sBitch]

Seeing that you are having a signature crackdown, will you be randomly deleting any sig that is over sized (even if bigger sigs are added after deletion)? I suppose what I'm saying is, if anymore big sigs appear, will you be deleting them?
(I would've asked this in the sig thready thing, but tis now closed.)

 

[Angel]

If big sigs appear, yes we'll be deleting them. I know of one that has popped up just a little while ago so that'll be gone too. It's just causing too many problems with browsing and loading (not for everyone, of course, but enough for some people to struggle) and getting rid of them is quicker than having a massive debate about them which would invariably lead to not an awful lot getting done. If we spend time asking people individually to remove or edit sigs, it could take ages so as abrupt as it may seem, this is the swiftest way. I'm aware not everyone reads announcements but again, waiting for them to take the time to check them out could take forever.

Personally? I'm hoping spoiler tags will be supported again soon so we can have whatever we like up like we used to. Your current sig, for example, is perfectly sized if anyone needs a reference point for the kind of height we're looking for

A question for Angel or Steve - If you don't mind answering... How's little Jacob? I seem to remember that being his name anyway.

 

[Angel]

Not so little now - he's almost 2 and occasionally a right pain in the backside, as they tend to be at this age, but at least he can't talk properly yet so one less gobby child to listen to. He can say bum though so everything is bum. More entertaining than anything when he looks at my mother and shouts bum very loudly.

Goodness knows what he'll be like when the new baby arrives - he's ok with little ones but doesn't get why he can't throw them around like dolls. He also still has a MASSIVE bobble head...hasn't grown into his head at all, poor thing. This is a pic of him in his sister's T-shirt, taken a few months ago (he's got more mad curly hair now and less chocolate around his fat face):

Was my sig removed? and Why?

Have a gander at that.
Chances are, your sig was deemed far too large.

Wow... I didn't think it'd been anywhere near that long... But then again, it doesn't feel like I've been a part of the forums for almost 4 years.

Question of any of the staff: What's your favourite TV series?

 

[Angel]

Haven't had a TV for 2 years now so not really up to date with telly right now but when I do see it I like to watch those dreadful American reality shows like super sweet 16 just to see how unbelievably spoilt and rude those kids are...car crash tv amuses me greatly.

My favorite is when their parents get them an Audi or Mercedes but its the WRONG COLOR!!!!! What were those parents THINKING?! Didn't they know their daughter wanted the silver one, not the blue one? UGH!

Question for the staff: Are you enjoying your day?

 

[ReaperHunter]

Just a curiosity even though i don't swear myself does this site have swearing policy or do people just censor it out of being polite about it

 

[Angel]

@ Meg - I KNOW, RIGHT???? And to answer your question, well I only got up half an hour ago to a screaming baby, a bored 10 year old, a house that looks like a bomb hit it and a worklist as long as my arm so at the moment, crap saturday is crap. But I'm sure it'll get better...when the kids leave home...

@ReaperKnight - we have a censoring programme in place here to filter out the naughty words but some of them are missed because of terrible spelling on the part of the poster or linking two words together which are not recognised by the filter. Sometimes we have to manually edit posts which contain swearing in because of this but most of the time the filter does the job. The old software we used was more intuitive than this one so in order for a word to be starred out you have to be very specific when typing it out - certain words are not considered swearing on the whole such as "crap", "damn" and "bloody" but the majority of cuss words are censored.

Question of any of the staff: What's your favourite TV series?

Game of Thrones, Spartacus, Fringe, The Walking Dead and V mainly.

 

[Subject 64432B]

Can we get edit button in private messages?

 

[Angel]

You don't already have one? Strange...it should show up next to the timestamp of your message. Checked the CP for permissions and it's enabled so odd that it isn't there for you...

It's there, but the option disappears right after posting, strange.....

Sometimes when I'm able to click it, it'll also say "Time has expired". Perhaps a bug?

EDIT:

It also disappears for me too. Heh, who knows. I hope it works soon, double posting to fix edits is bah!

 

[Angel]

Now that is odd - unless there's a time-delay or limitation in place? Let me go take a look

EDIT: ok, so I've checked the timer and it was set to 0 which could account for the trouble. Have upped it to 5 minutes - let me know if that fixes it or not

It worked like a charm! Thank you for fixing it, wish I knew a way to say thanks more lol.

 

[Angel]

And I didn't break the internet doing it! Hurray!

 

[Ember To Inferno]

Good thing, I'm really bored now. Breaking the internet would add double the boredom .
