Why was there this maintenance?

Some database changes to support a code release coming out soon. It relates back to the IMG tag issue.

More information to follow once the code is in place.

Ooh, exciting! Thanks for responding smile

Wow, cool, looks like an img tag fix is on it's way. Perhaps a picture rating system?

Also, does this have anything to do with the mysterious forum section added yesterday that was visible to scratchers for only a couple seconds?

Please tell me you took a screenshot :3

Changeset 84 looks interesting. :3
Let me explain what the code change looks like (from the code, not UI tongue )

The reports page for mods will list it based on rank. Each report increments the rank by one, except for pornography-related words, which rank as 2. If a user has been reported more than 4 times, they will be automatically banned for 12 hours, or until a mod unbans them. A post reported 4 times will be hidden with an error message (This post is currently under review because it was reported a number of times. Mods will check it out soon, and if it is okay it will be restored.")

There seems to be a flaw in this to me though. Sometimes multiple users will report a topic for moving, when it's in the wrong place. How would a newbie who doesn't know his way around the forums like to be banned for that?
So, I have a simple suggestion. Whitelist some words, such as "move" and "wrong forum", but give the * stuff higher rank than that.

roijac · 2012-03-25 13:47:02

simply make a checkbox "inappropriate" and make it apply only to it ^^

Hey Sci - you mostly figured it out! We committed it on Friday but haven't yet pushed the changes to the production server (it's generally unwise to push code Friday afternoon, unless you want to spend the weekend debugging smile

Look for a post that announces / explains the feature soon. Also, the bad words part is commented out (meaning it doesn't assign scores based on words)- we considered doing it but decided it would complexify things too much. So for now, it's just a 4 report threshold, which we rarely if ever cross over as a result of people asking to move threads / etc.

The information that can be gleaned from some PHP... tongue
I never have that problem with spending Saturday debugging. I'm Jewish. smile

Ah yeah, when the comments are all at the beginning of the line I sometimes miss that. tongue

And I'll be on the lookout for it! smile

maybe you should make something like "this post was already reported by USER and he said "whatever". please report it twice only if this is inappropriate for scratch. thanks."

What about "want closed" or "duplicate"?

TorbyFork234 · 2012-03-27 12:38:02

I suggest putting checkboxes when you click the report button and it will look like this

Why are you reporting this post
[] move topic
[] close topic
[] inappropriateness
[] other
If they click other, then a text box will open and they will type in their reason

To help with the other reasons why you would report a post.

I love this idea, expect I think it should always have the text box.

+1, but +1 to Sci as well, it should always have a text box.
