Title: New tags
Post by: ACAMS on January 05, 2010, 04:50:35 PM
We need two new message post tags to go with the (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Themes/default/images/post/BOTM.gif) tag I made.
We need one for tournament discussion (I made one a big D, but it looks bad)
We need one for tournament signups (I made one a big S, but it looks bad)
 
Any ideas for Candy™ or plain ol tag¿

Hey, why did the other thread get the axe?  I was going to work on some more smileys today... but I guess you don't need new icons now?
Title: Re: New tags
Post by: ACAMS on January 05, 2010, 07:42:18 PM
These are not smileys, everybody wanted to make smileys and we have plenty.

Oh... I thought you were replacing the existing smileys because the size was too small. My mistake. Glad I didn't put too much work into it.  What size do you need these D and S icons to be? 30 x 20 again I presume?

I will see what I can come up with. I got about an hour to burn and I don't feel like building another failbot atm.

I already made a D and S......they look like crap, it needs some Candy™

I like the way you think JD

I added a faint black glow/ fade to them so they didnt appear so sharp  :mrgreen:

Thanks Joe! I love the Videos one you made and I appreciate you improving the ones I made. The darker border looks awesome! I was having a hard time making that happen on my ancient version of Photoshop.

I am between jobs a the moment on my lunch break. Gotta work a 15 hour day... I probably wont be able to work on a TV icon until tomorrow.
edit: D'oh! video = TV icon... i got confused... man I am tired.

Post by: JoeBlo on January 07, 2010, 03:26:27 AM
new one for notices, should only be used for sticky topics nothing else, mainly in the tournament thread I was thinking

Title: Re: New tags
Post by: ACAMS on January 07, 2010, 12:40:50 PM
COOL....THANKS!
 
Now if we had some for regular topics, and a NWS (not work safe....or around here "not for underage")
maybe one to replace the Lamp for idea topics and the question mark could use improvement too.
 
Don't go crazy posting the new icons....just let it happen.

Goose and I set up a Useless Post 'Sting' operation and made the deductions automatic.
According to the collective data, ACAMS was:
1. Posting worthless posts...
2. 'Double Accounts' as newbs, to harrass the Mods... to make sure we're they're earning their pay
3. Owning a Chevy (that hurts to even say)
4. For attempting to send the latest style of 'Christmas flight' underwear as a present to the white house.
 
Hey, the post counts speak for themselves.....

y'all want to expel energy, then help him finish the bot exchange!  If I had the time I'd really try, cause that IS a worthy project..., but 'time'.  If you can 'sub' for me then I'll do it.

Oh, and I figured out the 'control panel' stuff you were sharing with me; thanks for helping.

We can get Sparkey and frezal to take over your clients, both together would straighten out anybody......Charles Manson would turn Sunday School teacher!

Careful 'Sparklebutt', or you'll find about the
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and
"Weapons of Mass. Destruction".
And just so you know this is an 'iceberg' dialogue...



ACAMS: That would be fine, I need a break from work...(where I should be now, instead of testing out the control panel...)

what is so bad about not understanding what he meant? I gotta go so I won't be posting for a while
Title: Re: New tags
Post by: Madiaba on January 19, 2010, 05:32:50 PM
Sparks, to not unkindly leave you hanging/worrying (though I think you'e a bit nosey), we were not 'fighting' at all. So:
1. Listen closely.
2. Don't post either, just listen, please.
3. Repeat #1 and #2 above...
4. ACAMS was recently showing me some 'ins and outs' of the Control Panel for the new Forum.
5. So I executed an experiment by modding My and ACAMS' post count.
6. I 'made up' a scenario in which he posted just like you have.
7. ACAMS threatens to 'return the favor' to Goose and me.
8. I responded to 'Get in line'....
9. You posted it "It's fun to watch the mods fighting".
10. I, in the same demeanor, teased you about both the ACAMS and my wrath...
11. You apparently didn't get it, and asked in a linguistically proper and logical way; "carful what?"
12. ACAMS torted jokingly to you "I wish I had a mod (me) to limit you to 5 posts per day!", meaning that he's acting like he did not have the authority to do, what he, himself, gave me the authority to do, and actually just did to both his and my post counts...
 
This is why I said it is an "'iceberg' dialogue...", meaning that what we were doing was not obvious, but mostly hidden from view.
 
 
So don't worry, NP with you. Feel free to post ....reasonably.
 
 
 
On topic:
I think it would be cool to have a 'Tech' tag, for technical threads.  Makes it easier to see, for perhaps some to seek and others to avoid.  Don't know what it would look like,.. perhaps a couple gears meshing???

All except that one...I really want a modification to the forum software to limit his posts......heck if it was like you say we would need 20 mods around the clock working their butt of.

Title: Re: New tags
Post by: ACAMS on January 19, 2010, 07:44:49 PM
Don't bother......I have looked for days and put in a mod request, but the topip is post moderated and the hard ass moderator didn't like the way I had it, so  after a few choice words (not to be posted here) I redid it and waiting for him to allow it. I didn't change a single word in my post, I just had to do it the way HE wanted! ANYWAY, if he saw my second post before I edited it he will never pass it (and may ban me), but I am sure it meets all HIS requirements now. That STILL does not mean somebody will help with the mod tho!
