Kyle Diaz6 said:I was wondering how one actually becomes a moderator on this forum?

Trust me, you don't want that job. 😉

The only role worth having is admin 😍

casualhound42 said:what’s the point of being a moderator—why pay someone to sit around when they aren't actually contributing anything to the table?🤷

You might want to run that question by Anderson. 👍

It’s not really about you, man; it’s more about the culture of this forum. Take a look at this post. 🙂

Alex Parker3 said:Look, everything seems fine, but I honestly can't wrap my head around why I got banned. I haven't done anything wrong, let alone been disrespectful or gone looking for... well, you know.👍 For me, the web is just a place to learn things, not a playground for insults or searching for filth. Can anyone tell me how long this suspension actually lasts?
Thanks
Best regards.

It isn't really that you did anything to earn a ban; it’s more like a glitch on Google's end. This happens to people quite often when they navigate to the site through a Google search. It’s likely someone clicked on Google AdSense ads about two hundred times from the same IP address, causing Google to flag the connection. 🤷
Check out the post by Thomas Martin6. 🙂

wiredsurfer3 said:Yeah, I’m running into the exact same headache with my Opera browser. I even tried firing up Internet Explorer just to troubleshoot this specific mess, but it’s the same story everywhere. Now Firefox won't even let me finish the installation because of it. Does anyone have a plain-English, common-sense explanation for why this is happening?

I feel like I've already covered this, but you'd probably get a much clearer answer if you reached out to the system admins at Orbisov or one of the other IT leads.

Open this thread. 😉

Sandra Parker3 said:Actually, my bad—I have to take that back. I just gave it another shot and it turns out it won't accept
it. I probably just bungled it the first time, though it wouldn't be surprising if the site itself was acting up again.😁

There you go. This site is a bit of an enigma. It feels like three digital ghosts are haunting a single decent user who’s just trying to pass along messages.🤣 😁

Sandra Parker3 said:I gave it a shot just to see how it worked, which is why I mentioned 😉

It feels somewhat detached, almost like receiving a notification that something arrived without actually seeing the content—sort of like getting a FedEx alert but not knowing if you even want to open the box. My favorite part is having the option to read it first... though I can't quite recall 🤔.... whether you have to unblock someone from your "ignore" list just to view their message or not... 🤷
Essentially, the message lands in your lap, and then you decide what to make of it.
It probably functions much like viewing posts from people on an ignore list, but I haven't really delved into those settings myself.😛

Well, if you've tested it out, then that's that. Since I haven't put anyone on ignore on this forum yet, I couldn't say for sure. It seems that's just how the AP is configured. 🙂

Sandra Parker3 said:they might, and they'll probably receive it, just through a different lens...

and then they can decide whether to read it or let it sit there, leaving you completely in the dark 😛

I'm just not quite sure what they mean by "follow the message" 😕

In my experience, they likely won't get it; I run an American forum using the exact same vBulletin version (3.6.8.), and when I put a user on ignore and asked them to send me a DM, nothing ever arrived. That said, it's entirely possible this specific site is configured differently, which would make what you described actually happen.😉

It’s likely not a cookie issue, but rather something happening with the site itself. It looks like they pulled the Google AdSense ads, which is probably where the glitch is coming from if my guess is right. If this keeps up, you should reach out to one of the admins so they can loop in the system administrator to get it squared away. 🙂

wanderingmaker3 said:Is there any way to tell if someone has put me on ignore? I've been sending private messages to one person and getting nothing back, so I can't figure out if I've been blocked or if they just aren't replying!

It’s about as easy to find out as a ghost in a machine, because if you send a DM to someone who has you on their ignore list, the message simply vanishes into the void without them ever seeing it.🙂

1. It might just be a glitch with Reddit (it’s entirely possible)
3. You might have accidentally clicked on a thread restricted to mods and admins, or perhaps you're trying to access a deleted post.
-Quick question: which browser are you using? If this keeps happening, it might be worth a clean reinstall. 🙂

P.S.—I just did a quick test, and I'm running into the exact same issue when I search for the site via Google.It's highly unlikely to be an issue on your end; it's more likely a site-side hiccup, probably tied to how Google AdSense loads on certain threads. Try switching over to Firefox.

I have to say, Mr. Ex strikes me as a pretty solid moderator 😁
while 🙂Desiree is actually running things as an admin

Charles Ramirez59 said:vividfalcon14, seriously, just take that link out of your signature before I have to do it for you. 😉

I hear you, honey, I really do. 😁

To be honest, I was planning on saving that link pretty soon anyway since I wanted to draft another piece without running afoul of the rules. I’m not entirely sure why that specific link would be off-limits, but it doesn't much matter.

P.S.—Just a quick question for our wonderful admin => Why is the ability to delete one's own posts disabled on the PDF version? And why hasn't that feature been enabled on the ACP? 🤷

placidnomad50 said:don't listen to her, she's just looking for a fight
she doesn't really carry any weight here🙂

🤣 🙏

Charles Ramirez59 is the admin 😁
Take a look at this, especially that final section at the bottom of the page.
Once you've done that, just shoot Charles Ramirez59 a PM with your request

Kimberly Stewart said:winter in the RockiesWhy wouldn't it???

You missed a tiny detail there. Your link actually has two http://s tucked in there. It won't work because you can only have one at the start. Here is your current link=>http://http://img181.imageshack.us/m...age=01om9.jpga,whereas the correct version should look like this=>http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=01om9.jpg.
Basically,winter in the Rockies. 🙂

Since this isn't really the right subforum for technical troubleshooting, I’ll just lay it out for you: go to insert=>movies and sounds=>sound from file=>right-click the speaker icon=>select custom animation=>double-click the track => navigate to the timing tab, and under the repeat section, select until end of slide before hitting ok. That should do the trick. 🙂

Grace Fisher31 said:it’s really up to the moderator to decide if those posts should be pulled down... 🙂

The supermoderator can too, and certainly the admin, though I suppose that goes without saying, doesn't it? 🙂

feralviper8 said:but the catch is I’m looking to do this on other vBulletin boards too—specifically over at http://www.sherdog.net/forums/, where the poll option just isn't showing up in the extra settings.

It’s entirely possible the admin just disabled the polling feature for users. On a standard vBulletin setup, that's all controlled through the admin control panel. 🙂

James Jones8 said:Thanks. I'm still getting my bearings here on Reddit since I'm new to the platform.

Don't mention it, friend. None of us were born with an instruction manual for life already tucked under our arms.🙂
