/sugg/ - Suggestions / Meta

Hello and welcome to uboachan!

We're an imageboard dedicated to Yume Nikki. I suggest checking out FAQ and Rules first.

If you do like it here and decide to post, make sure you read through a couple pages of the boards to make sure you're not making a clone thread. We're a fairly slow chan and that might annoy some people. In general, ubuu tends to get annoyed at the silliest little things. Don't take it to heart. ^^;

You might also want to check out the irc. Connect to irc.datnode.net and join #uboachan.

You got trolled pretty easily.

Also since I can't make a thread complaining about it: I still get an error message every time I try to make a new thread.

>>985
So do you. :3c
I doubt anyone who was actually new would post on sugg, maybe ot or yume or something.

Anyhow, I have personally told this to sei twice, and the irc has been bugging him about it for a while now. I suppose he's working on it. .-.

>Can someone show me the way

Did anyone else read that in Peter Framptom's voice?

I wasn't referring to "personal attack", but troll posts. And I stated my reason. Not NEET related in any way, 3 posts in the thread, people being told to gtfo already. Why keep it there?

And as far as my own feelings are concerned, I honestly don't care. :>

>>1055

Just saying, when I was telling people to get the fuck out, I was 100% joking around. Literally nothing I said in that thread was in the least bit serious.

>>1056
Bud, I'm not scolding you or telling you that your posts are bad and you should feel bad. If you were being a dick, you would have been banned. Were you banned? No.

It was a bad thread, is all.

>>1057
>If you were being a dick, you would have been banned.

shit mod detected

>>1058
Hi madnuts, how are you doing. ^_^

>>968
Is that real? I mean, did someone from staff really say that?
They might as well just say "you're banned because I can't sit straight anymore", look at all the ass damage.
Gonna run before I'm banned too.

>>971
I may have missed the convening of the council members on the decision, but I doubt that this will be a reoccurring event.

>>966
Are you actually suggesting that we need to tell our users that ban evasion is bad?

Thanks to your multiple evasions, I've set up Tinyboard's DNSBL function. It should no longer be possible to abuse proxies for intentionally violating the moderation team's judgement.

You could have talked with any of the moderation team. IRC is always open. Mods are there. You could have even emailed me directly; my email is in the FAQ. A ban is a ban. Evasion tells us that you don't care about our rules or the decisions of our staff, and that makes you something to be removed.

That said, I have only heard my staff's side of the story. If you have something to add, please do email me. You've earned yourself a very long ban, but it's possible for a permaban to be rescinded. I'd especially like you to explain what you mean by "5 months". If you received a 5 month ban before you evaded, under the correct circumstances that would be a violation of the moderator guidelines. (That would have been very close to when I acquired the site though.)

I assume you will see this post; your ban should be on posting only.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but I feel like I need to hop in on this. This whole thing was pretty ridiculous.

ThatGuy, here's a task list of things from me to you. Considering you seem intent on telling our staff how to be better staff with no real backing to do so, I think I'm going to tell you a couple ways to be a better board member.

1) Don't be incredibly incendiary and insulting of others. This is very well within the same vein of trolling/flaming. Which, mind, is against da rulez. Know what else is a good thing? To not do it after being warned. I told the mods who handled this myself to warn and then temp-ban if you continued attacking others when it's absolutely unneeded.
2) There's no need to be so self-entitled. You are not Uboachan's Messiah, you yourself being incredibly insulting and disregarding staff will not fix any problems. This will only do the contrary to helping uboachan by setting a piss-poor example of being a good member. Also, we are not as wounded or poorly-cobbled together as you seem to believe.
3) Assuming things are bad, try not to. Almost all of our members are regulars of IRC and we look for that, yes. But we also want members who are regulars of the boards. That requirement is almost so clear that we never have to state that explicitly. Look at the mod list. Who here hasn't been an acknowledged member for years? Some of them are old enough you don't remember them. For granted, some are newer and some may be lurkers. But that doesn't mean you tell them they have no idea how the boards work or that we're all incompetent. Just because we do things differently does not mean it's wrong. It's been this way for years. It works for us and that's all that matters. It's only been recently that there's an incredibly vocal minority complaining.
4) Ban evasion after being warned after breaking a handful of rules on a number of occasions, just to get the last word makes you look bad. And gets you gone for good. Every imageboard is like that. Every one. For granted, I agree that 22 weeks is too long. That is and will be addressed. But there are easily other ways to reach the staff and have the problem resolved in a peaceable manner, like Seisatsu said. Although, considering you've been nothing but insulting, implying, assumptive, condescending and overall mean-spirited to people who are just trying to help or solve a problem, the fact you went about it the wrong way doesn't surpriPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

My investigation shows that the moderators in this situation made a few mistakes, due in part to misunderstandings of the moderator guidelines, bad advice from other staff members, misunderstanding advice of other staff members, and general overkill on the original ban length.

I will be rewording the moderator guidelines to be less ambiguous.

In the meantime, ThatGuy's permaban has been lifted and replaced with a 2 week ban, for going about this all in quite the wrong way. The original ban also had some merit, discounting the fact that its length was absurd and unacceptable.

I hope that ThatGuy will return as a productive member of this board.

And please, no more ban evasions.

Should be fixed

>>866
its sporechan. yes thats an asian guy's dick and shes sucking it while his roomate is playing spore in the same room, lol.

PUT THAT PICTURE BACK FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY ;A;

To the mod who removed that image: Er, you do know NSFW is allowed, right?

Fucking Uboachan.

>>767
You know if you copy the direct link to the image, then when you go to upload an image, copy and paste the direct link into the file upload browse bar. It should work.

>>940
Yes I do but not everyone does.

>>889

Working for me

>>889

For me, the style switcher works fine on the sidebar when I'm at the frontpage, and doesn't when I'm at the various boards. In those cases though, the style switcher at the bottom works.

If I remove the frames though, the style switcher options at the bottom goes away, and it reverts to "Uboachan Classic" for all sections of the site other than the news page, which sticks with whatever theme I set it to. The style switcher options would go away with the removal of frames in the past as well, though it wasn't an issue then, since the style would stick to whatever I had set it to for the whole site.

I'm using Firefox 12.

>>900
I'm having the same issues on the newest chrome

I just realized expandable images don't work when frames removed, (in Firefox, at least).

I know there are still multiple issues on the to do list, so maybe you guys are already aware of it, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, so figured I'd do so.

>>937

Freaky. I'll report it to STI.

inb4 op actually becomes a mod

>>849
Figured since it was legal, why not? There was already a thread about it, so I decided to contribute. I understand your ideals against gore, really.
I mentioned the /h/ thing because of wide legality, such as saying "All because I like gore, doesn't mean I'm going to spam the shit out with gore." though if things are legal, then I won't feel bad about posting my interests.

>>850
I prefer forum posts though. :< Especially since I space out during IRCs and such.

>>853
That'd be pretty hot.

>>848
I'm on /cos/.

>>855
Really? I prefer forum posts too; but only because IRC sucks away my time like a black hole (I have a hard time leaving).

Anyways, even if you somehow became a mod today, it seems that you'd have to be on IRC a lot once you do become a mod; which is probably why it's better to be an IRC regular before hand. According to Seiatsu; "Half of the community is on IRC". And I'm assuming he doesn't want mods only moderating half of the community or something.

So, when do I get to know my super secret mod stuff.

>>932

you already know it

you just need to REMEMBER

>>651

What the fuck am I writing? I meant PIXEL art.

>>726
Everything makes so much more sense now.

>>726
>>651
I tried.

>>878
Yes! I like it!

>>883
Oh, good!
I got lucky with the fire, I think.
It took 40% skill and 60% luck to make that thing. Turned out better than I thought.
Thanks and you're welcome; I had fun making it.

Pic related to burning diaries.

/sugg/ is definitely a meta board. I just put /wild/ in meta because you never know what the topic will be.

Not atm, mods are able to, but normal users aren't as far as I know.
