Musicbanter Improvement Thread

My only experience with it is on the RYM forums but I don't think it works well there, too many people desperate for favourites.

Jesus' best idea was definetly Caturday.

I dont think posts should be edited. That would be an improvement. It looks bad with asterisks.

^^it's an auto-censorship - there are ways around it but you gotta earn that, boyo

Yeah probably by being a mod or admin.

Nope, we don't get around the censor either.

This isn't an actual improvement, just a question. Do you guys have a program in place that can detect spammers, ban them, and delete their threads without you guys physically doing it yourselves?

I ask this cause tonight I saw a spammer get banned and his posts deleted but no mods were online.

Mods can cruise stealthily.

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

That's for us to know and you not to.

Where do threads get their star rating?

If you look at the top of the thread, on the right, there's stuff that says "Thread Tools", etc. One is "Ratings" and you can give a thread a star rating when you click on it.
