Ask a MOD

[Jared Moya]

Upon the urging of mfgbypooter, decided to start this "Ask a MOD" thread, whereby the MODs can make a brief introduction of themsleves, if they so desire, and also create a place whereby people, the NOOBs in particular, can ask a question, make a complaint, get some feedback, etc.

I think it perhaps could be a daunting task for people to find out just how to get a hold of somebody running things around here.

I could see how a complaint, or a question for instance, could go unheeded around here simply because one doesn't know who to talk to or how to go about it. It's only after a NOOB bumps into a MOD on accident sometimes that they find out who to talk to.

So on this note, consider the "Ask a MOD" thread open for business, and also, if you feel that your needs around here are going unmet, feel free to drop me a PM at anytime.

I wish this thread had been here earlier, would have saved a lot of embarrassment.

[Jared Moya]

Yes, really is a good idea, and again thx Senor mfgbypooter. :)

Welcome to Zeropaid pattiluce.

[mfgbypooter]

Maybe you should sticky this thread so it doesn't get buried?

[Jared Moya]

Thought I had..........done.

[mfgbypooter]

Two areas that need looking into: the Zeropaid Crew link is really no help and should be updated with contact info added, and the need help? link needs help.

[Potato]

The View Forum Leaders (http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showgroups.php) page needs help.

You said it tater.

That link desparately needs updating, and made to be prominent at the top on every page of this site.

It would be nice to have it in the quick links box too.

[pattiluce]

seems like I've caused a bit of trouble here, sorry

[Potato]

You haven't. The things that pooter and I pointed out have been issues for a long time. This thread has real potential, don't feel bad for anything.

[Jared Moya]

seems like I've caused a bit of trouble here, sorry

Exactly as Potato said, as if anything you've helped in part to change things so that current and future users will find things that much more convenient and accesible around here. Nothing worse than when everybody sees something's that's broken and either ignore or refuse to fix it.

[pattiluce]

well thats reassuring anyway...thanx

[Dark Messenger]

Blah.......

[evilmegaman]

Well I'm a mod, and I am particularly good with software discussion. So I am usually able to help the newbies. I can't always be friendly. So when I post, It means I am in a good mood :icon_pira

and isnt there any facility to post images?

[Jared Moya]

and isnt there any facility to post images?

Some parts of the forum allow for direct image embedding via URL links (CLICK HERE FOR EXAMPLE) (http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/news-events/t-1200-year-old-prayer-book-discovered-in-bog-38662.html#post437263), like the news section for instance, yet others do not, such as the Lounge. Why this is so is unclear, will find out though.

However, in the meantime you can uplaod photo attachments to your replies by selecting the "GO Advance" tab, and then scrolling down to where it says "Manage Attachments." You can then upload an image which will appear ass a thumbnail beneath your reply for users to select and view.

This thread isn't going anywhere.The mods will both love and hate it.The gripes and questions will be more organized but there will probaly be more of them.

Ask a MOD

hmm, what are you all wearing ^_^

[rainbowdemon]

I'm a global mod. I'm not always here, but I try to check in as often as possible.

[Jared Moya]

This thread isn't going anywhere.The mods will both love and hate it.The gripes and questions will be more organized but there will probaly be more of them.

Yes true, but the alternative is to leave the NOOBS high and dry with their questions as they try to figure out who to talk to, instead resorting to the creation of the proverbial "Help Me" Lounge thread. At least this way they can have a place to seek out a helping hand.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

As my completely unoriginal custom user title states, I am a super mod here. Not super as in fabulous, but super as in insanely powerful. Deleting spam and perusing pointless threads at incredible speeds are my high points.

I attempt to sign in here daily and normally show up between 6 and 11 pm PST, M-Sa and early and late Sundays. I am available for PMs any time and will do appointments if necessary. Just give me 24 hours notice.

I feel I'm pretty easy to get along with and fair when it comes to SWINGING DOWN THE CUDGEL OF JUSTICE AGAINST ANY WRONGDOERS!!!...::shakes head:.. Where was I? Oh..

It is a pleasure "working" here. I look forward to helping out all that I can and keeping this portal the premiere P2P Forum that it is.

-LotD

[Potato]

Oh, I forgot an introduction.

I'm a regular mod that is here all the time. Shoot me a PM and I'll definitely get back to you within a few hours (unless I'm sleeping). I can't guarantee this once I find a job though.

[evilmegaman]

so us newbies should be shaking in our boots eh?

I have to say the smileys on this board suck.

Newbies shouldn't be shaking in their boots due to the fact that when I am in a bad mood I merely resist responding to a newbie question. It's a good tactic and keeps me from scaring people away.

Yes I agree the smilies are terrible. At least they work though! (this is the new set.. The old set didn't work @_@)

[Auggie2k]

My name is Auggie2k but my friends call me auggie (EC has a few names up his sleeve although)

I like stuff, doing stuff, thinking about stuff, watching stuff, eating stuff (you get the point) :)

[Crazy Horse]

I've been a mod for quite awhile and I help when I can also. I agree our smilies suck. Case in point....we had a bouncing frog (?!?!?!?!) SAD!!! just sad!!! that we don't even have anymore.

I'm trying to bring more to the table and will step up my efforts. :icon_thum

This was a good thread, all you mods seam very willing to help us noobs, I was shaking in my booties when I first came hear but have calmed down a bit after I gained my rep points. Thanks to the givers. Soulxtc if you see this post and would like to see my pic of the canyon I would like to share.

[silentscream]

rep points dont mean shit once uv been here a while

but it is still kinda nice to get some if u have helped someone out

we have good mods here

.

[queekus]

So I have been a member for a couple weeks now and am trying to play by the rules, but someone must be really pissed offa t somethign I said as I now have a insane negative rep points.
any pointers on what to do next? Can you help me out?

Don't make 20+ posts in a row.

Don't whine about rep. It's not important.

[queekus]

Don't make 20+ posts in a row.

Don't whine about rep. It's not important.

But it is Important. You put these rules in place here so folks will be a part of your community. So folks wil participate in discussion.
You wanted to make sure tha scammers are not taking advantage of your legatimate users when doing invite trading.

Here I come, I have excellent standing in the private tracker sites I use cuz I sit on a 80 Megabit connection, and I want ot expand out alittle getting afew ore private trackers under my belt, I come to zeropaid.

I am trying to jump through your hoops, I post LEGATIMATE post in your Lounge forums looking to A. bump my posts and B. be a member of your onlnie community.

I get SLAPPED down for doing that.


Now I can never trade here cuz you gave me some super negative rep points.

yeah, i t does matter, now i cant trade on your site.

So my only choice is to either start a new account or just leave. I put forth aeffort here. I tried but you guys treat this like its some IRC chatroom.

I'm not a scammer or some punk kid, I'm a guy in my mid 30's who put forth a effort on your site and this is how im re-paid. I thought I could be productive member here.

Guess I was wrong.

There gave you some rep, so just relax, take a breath and be yourself. If you're really in your 30's (as am I unfortunately) you hopefully know how to just be yourself and do your own thing. People sometimes just need a chance to get to know a person before they can "hug it out."

Anyways, welcome to ZP, if you have any questions, problems, complaints, suggestions, yada, yada, yada, let me know.

With the way rep is working here now, it doesn't matter that much if you get slammed below zero. Someone with bigger rep POWER may come along and feel bad for you, and give you some pos. rep to bump you back above zero.

And it seems that some of our members with bigger rep power are being sympathetic lately, so you could get lucky.


And you already did. So, welcome to the zoo. When someone logs in and sees 20+ new posts in a row from one user, they aren't usually happy with that person. Just a tip. We value contributing members, honestly.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I think Potato went beyond answering all questions you had regarding your precious reputation. Both in general and for all the PM, ICQ and AIM questions you had for me.

Now sit back and enjoy the boat ride.

[queekus]

Thanks Guys.

I really was just trying to be a member. i did not just post a bunch of randon comments, I read posts and topics and threw in my 2 cents.

In hindsight I should have started a new thread of my own to say "Hi" and perhaps a Digg artice that I thought was cool

Thanks again.

Intent is everything really, and it sounds like you are genuinely adding your "2 cents," its just that it's rather difficult for us to discern the intentions of someone who is relatively new here.

Also, we had a post count requirement a while back to gain access to the old invite trading thread, and needless to say it caused many to make spam posts just to qualify. This is still fresh in many people's minds.

In any event, welcome to ZP. :icon_salu

It's still one hell of a sexy bouncing 'frog' or whatever the hell it is.

Thanx ..... Potato
But isn't it just a Gif........so bring it back from where?....to do what..???
What was it's purpose ( other than the obvious ) that makes some peeps ask for it back...??

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

It's more of a nostalgic icon. I think Potato was here when it existed. I joined 6 months after her and I remember it (fondly). People have their faves and the bouncing frog was the smiley of choice.

[Potato]

Yea, it was a smiley option. You could use a max of five in a post.

[wingnut2600]

I love the bouncing frog of the apocalypse!!! :fire

le sigh...

The frog symbolized mad props and respect. Birthdays for beloved members deserved them as well as an awesome post.

It was like rep created by the members of ZP.

[Potato]

Thanks wingy, now you've somehow managed to get Pink Floyd stuck in my head.

[mascott]

Those of you in the know, use terminology that is unfamiliar to the new person on this block and in some cases, it is also incapable of being looked up.
A request was made for people to 'digg the hp stories'. Can someone clarify what is being referred to as the 'hp stories'?

[Mr. T]

I'm not a mod but I'll try to help you.

The head super-mod, soulxtc, has a real thing for hermaphrodite porn [hp]. He constantly petitions to place it on the home page of the site.

Hey, I just realized that home page could be abbreviated as [hp] too. In this case though it's definitely referring to hermaphrodite porn.

[mascott]

I thank you for the explanation, because I really looked and couldn't find anything on it. I hope that your message helps others as well.

[Xtripit]

What should you do about being totally unfairly negatively repped??

http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=498643&postcount=17

I takes ages to get any rep here unless you trade which I will never do. And then for answering a question all is gone again??

P.S. his title says to lazy to google, so that was in no way a cheap shot.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Seems fair to me. You called him lazy.

It doesn't take ages to get rep. You'll be in the hundreds in no time.

[Xtripit]

Will since his title said "To lazy to Google" what was I supposed to say.

I already read all that stuff month ago. No way I'm gonna search it again. And the negative rep was for not answering a question he didn't ask to be answered????

By the way you guys are on a roll here to. Try and see if you can make it -1000, since this rep thing is obviously flawed. I don't care anymore. It will just prevent me from posting anymore, so you guys should be happy.

[evilmegaman]

can someone explain to me why everyone is so worried about reputation? Didn't we decide a while back that it essentially means nothing?

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

We did, but apparently no one reads "all that stuff."

Don't flatter yourself dude. Only a select few get into the coveted -1000 club.

Just let it go and move on.

[wingnut2600]

Dear Mod...

Why do people care about negative rep? I can understand if one person gives it to you... but if many people give you negative rep, it is probably because you were whining about being negative repped.

Don't these people realize that writing good posts and not threatening to leave a forum is the best way to make those (pointless) rep points turn from negative to positive?

I think that only a moderator can solve this riddle...

[HelenaP]

a--yeah...

OK. While I am no moderator (apologies, wingnut2600. I am attempting to solve a riddle), I like to help when I can.

I had this novel idea to do a "SEARCH" for the number of times the question of rep points had been asked and explained (since I couldn't find the sticky that I read when I first joined).

Said search returned hundreds of hits.

Within the 9 months of this thread being started, it went through discussions of;
fixing links, the various introductions/dispositions/personalities of the moderators, images, (which BTW...


Some parts of the forum allow for direct image embedding via URL links (CLICK HERE FOR EXAMPLE)

doesn't work anymore. After clicking, I once again find myself in the land of the lost.)

smileys, and hermaphrodite porn.

April 26th rolls around, and the thread is essentially resurrected by a question regarding the elusive and much sought after rep points, which is then answered again (and quite succinctly, IMHO), by several mods and a few ZP members.
The answer has sometimes varied in it's deliverance, but it's essential and orderly direction is the same;
Contribute/help and/or make good (intelligent? humorous?) posts.

The member that asked about it on the 26th responded to suggestions given in the following posts (one of which, and this is just my personal favorite-


Don't make 20+ posts in a row.
Don't whine about rep. It's not important.)

posted here for 3 more three days, then left (May 4).

One of the members' last post-


Now I can never trade here cuz you gave me some super negative rep points.

yeah, i t does matter, now i cant trade on your site.

Then there was this reply-


Intent is everything really, and it sounds like you are genuinely adding your "2 cents," its just that it's rather difficult for us to discern the intentions of someone who is relatively new here.

In any event, welcome to ZP.

So that sort of settled that.

I just want to add, by my making this post, I might possibly lose my most reverently cherished, highly valued and worshiped rep points. But here's the deal...
I know this going in. I have thought out the consequences of what I am going to say before I say it.

Contrary to popular belief, to the majority of those that join a forum, relationships/"community"/social circles in the P2P world are just as valid as those (no matter the workplace, acquaintances, friends or loved ones) we have, or are a part of, in the real world.

Should we not think before we speak in the real world? I try to. Sometimes I don't. But what I am always prepared for, is to be held accountable for whatever I say.
I go into a statement or take a position, ready to stand behind it, no matter what consequences/benefits may come. This is known to some as speaking with integrity. Letting my "aye's mean 'aye' and my 'nay's' mean 'nay."

So if I make a statement, then bit*h because I get neg rep'ed for it... I don't know, but it would seem to indicate that I wasn't ready to accept responsibility for the statement I made.
I am the only one accountable for my actions.

So...*click* away...(for no other reason than my long-winded post/rant)
and not taking the time to spell check.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I was always wondering if we needed a scribe here.

[wingnut2600]

OK. While I am no moderator (apologies, wingnut2600. I am attempting to solve a riddle), I like to help when I can....

So...*click* away...(for no other reason than my long-winded post/rant)

[HelenaP]

Ok, here's a crazy question.
Assuming its not some chain yanking inside joke, how exactly does one gain entrance to the fabled VIP Lounge?

I somehow figured it rested upon the magic thousandth post, but I just passed that dubious milestone and no magic secret forum revealed itself.

[mfgbypooter]

Once you get in there you quickly learn the fabled VIP Lounge is nothing.

Next thing you'll be wanting in the super secret invite only VIP Lounge.

[carpefile]

I kinda figured.
We were discussing whether it was made up or not in our double secret probation section.

[w31n3r]

they fixed feathers account and a few others so they could get in about a year ago, one of many bugs here. i remember reading that the criteria was 100 rep so you should have been there a long time ago. meh.

You guys are surprised when random stuff doesn't work properly here?

One may associate random-ness to perhaps chaos and confusion. Let's face it, things seem to work much better when a natural dynamic is allowed to occur.

This problem has been pointed out before. It seems this is the systems way of pointing out people who have more than one account at ZP. Like pooter said...CLONES.

Clones??? That's crazy talk!

[Mels_Smileys45]

The system is very quirky. This is not my first account but its the only one I have had active in many years si it shows up. It seems to only cause a glitch when a person has more than one active account. Its not definite what glitches may occur by having more than one active account and it seems to vary a bit from person to person. As a rule of thumb though, its an easy way to spot people with troll clones.


We did a bit of testing of this out last year when we were having troll problem.



Usually only the first active account will show up on the list and trolls...err clones will not show up at all

I think it got fucked up when Jorge went and fixed some clone accounts to have access to the VIP lounge.

Since craigslist is censored and ebay sucks, and seeing that the mods here all have the inside skinny, I was hoping they would know where a guy could get a crusty pair of lesbian panties worn for two solid days at a Lilith Fair concert.

I'm sure if you booked to watch a taping of Ellen's daytime show, you'd be surrounded with all you need.

spoken like a man with real experience in these matters.

thanks.

(and if that doesn't provide results perhaps I can employ a mod to rifle through Rosie Odonnell's dirty panty hamper?)

Will a mod please close the zeropaid forums? Its useless to the members and is only good for spammers to make money off of it. Zeropaid is DEAD! Who the Hell wants to wade through a couple of pages of pill spam just to find one post by a regular forum member? NOBODY! FIX THE FORUMS, LET SOME MORE PEOPLE BE SPAM MONITORS OR CLOSE THESE DAMN FORUMS!

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

You might be on to something there. Mels.
