The all new: Ask a moderator about the forum & rules

[DM]

No, they only ever implemented a tag replacer IMG -> URL for greater than 100kb.

[Max Power]

Ah right, I thought it was the answer to moderating large pics IE forum detects pic link 100+k , embed scales it to forum, can then still be viewed while embedded and no infractions?

Ah well, seems not.

That is the goal. From what little I know about it, it is easier said than done. The tag replacer is not always working, and the re-sizer doesn't do anything to the actual image size in kb. You could resize a giant image down to a thumbnail and it could still be a 3 meg image. I believe that feature is just to keep the dimensions of individual posts reasonable. All in all, we don't as of yet have any reliable solution to automagically handle oversized images. I can only speak for myself, but I think infractions for this rule would be reserved only for extreme or repeated cases. That said, it is still up to the user to manage their file sizes until a suitable solution can be found.

Ref the RTM sticky notification, what about the following paradox:

If you feel that the moderator has done something that can not be solved via normal conversation, please notify the head moderator, Placebo.

What if it was Placebo? (Kind of joking, and also have no issues, but I just thought about it as I read it)

BTW Thanks Maxpower for reply, didnt see that until now.

You contact me and I will assess the situation from a completely neutral, impartial and unbiased perspective based on 11 years working on these very forums

asses

that's something you don't see every day (Assess - I assume thats what you mean, rather than the plural of American Bottoms)

Can I get a reply on my question? I understand it was rather long winded first time around, so in short, does it seem prudent/useful to create a 'modding wishlist' for A3 (purely as a wishlist for features useful for the modding community, such as new commands etc) where all requests for addon X, or Engine change Y were out of bounds? It could equally be placed in the current wishlist thread, which is, however and of no surprise, generally overflowing with mindless drivel (and a useful way to collate all aforementioned drivel, rather than 1000's of threads).

Good spot

Hmm ,
I got excited over nothing when I saw proper use of the RTM system , then I read it , I come to conclusion there is some other name for the report post button that I don't know , maybe call it what it is to avoid confusion and keep the clarity for which the whole sticky is designed ?
In case of misunderstand RTM is animation file I am trying to understand as well as report post button .
Now I'm thinking do I post here or pm moderator or maybe rtm system to register my dismay that although RTM got a nice sticky with clear instruction , it wasn't the RTM I was hoping for .

[W0lle]

Good point Thromp. Changed now.

Good spot, thromp, and sorry to get you all excited! I would also like extended tools to create rtm animations.

Here I was referring to the Report To Moderator button. W0lle already changed it up. Thanks for pointing out the vagueness.

Speaking for myself here, I'd love to see something like this.

Since the last details of alpha release claims that it will be moddable to an extent, it's probably going to be useful for giving feedback regarding modding features. Truth be told, if it's true, it will probably warrant an early opening of the editing section as far as I'm concerned.
