Congrats MHG.

i guess someone among the admins would've spoken to him about it... i don't think they would make him the mod without even giving him a word about it...

well atleast they have added a mod to the forum -- now hope to see a lot of mods in action atleast so the they can delete posts/ban those friggin spammers..

half a step ahead by the admins

btw has only MHG been made a mod or is there any other person as well ??

Congrats man. And here is something you would love to do

Ban this guy lol - gupta

Congrats MetalheadGautham

Thanks guys

Actually it was Anorion's idea. But I was only a local mod due to an error in the forum. He and cyberjunkie fixed the issue and made me a normal global moderator. I still need to fix the banning/miserabling part though

Anyway, @din: yeah gupta is #1 on my hitlist. But the power got cut just as I was about to remove his posts.

I think the first 10 posts of new users should go for moderator's approval.Then you wont see too much spam here.

^ then either the mods won't be able to see the light of the day or they will completely go missing from the forum

Ab mods hone ke kuch fyade hai toh nuksaan bhi honge na.*img26.imageshack.us/img26/9427/005ncc.gif I have seen this feature in many forums.

I'm hunting for a plugin to do something like prevent links in first 20 posts or get mod approval or something like that. Will inform raaabo once I find some good anti spam plugin.

Yeah thats the one i was talking about thanks.

Congrats MHG !

hey congrats buddy ,,, DAMN

Congo man... so will I get to see a new light in this dark forum days...?

This server is really letting me down. Takes time to delete posts.

I accidently banned a user *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=74517 on my first day and deleted half his posts because his name was highly similar to a spammers. To the user: please excuse me.

BTW, raaabo's getting new server for us. With 100mbps line instead of current 10mbps line and dual Intel Xeon 3GHz CPUs.

And we are getting our own IRC server. All issues will be fixed then. :-D

Yes. We are using it in Linuxforums.

I smell change. Congrats MHG.

Congrats Metal.. and keep on fixing the forum and take care of those spam bots..

congrats MHG...

Hey, I've been teasing the guy occasionally for a long time. (I think I was the first one to abbreviate his nick to MHG). Hope he doesn't ban me.

Just kidding. Congrats, MHG. We need some young energetic blood as mod. But don't let this stop you from getting up out of your chair once in a while. Go prowl around SP Road or MG Road at least once a month

good luck officer

This is great, I feel like crying! You know, this guy Gautham, he grew on my lap. Had a nice time raising him up, and look! He is a Moderator now! :sobs:

Where's the 'daddy' favor pooch?

Cyberjunkie fixed it over IRC.
DAMN.

Made me look mental.

The best place to talk to the admins is IRC. #think-digit @chat.freenode.net. You will find cyberjunkie and Anorion_ there getting kicked by hullap every 1 hour.

So how easy is it to install this plugin and get it to work ?
I hope its not something which screws the database. Its screwed enough already.

Not really. I was the guy who gave myself the nickname MHG. I used to use it a lot outside thinkdigit forums in some IRC channels.

First stop spamming...
He has just become a MOD, so beware...

I hope its not something which screws the database. Its screwed enough already.

Plug-in has nothing to do with Database of Thinkdigit Forum. It just checks post count of Member and restrict him/her from posting links according to assigned criterion.

I am not an Administrator of Linuxforums but I have tested that plug-in in my Test-forum. Plug-in installation is very easy.

^^ Could not edit my last post. ( Forum Bug ).

Congo!! Buddy!! Metal Head!! Gonna heat it!!

Congrats MHG .
