EntropiaPlanets-related threads on entropiaforum.com

And how would this blacklist of "evil image checksums" be generated, might I ask? You seem to believe that any and all images with the words "Entropia Planets" (or any other objectionable text or imagery) on them would somehow have an identifiable or predictable checksum? This shows me that you know very little about how such technologies work.

No effort has ever been made to "hide" the word filter on EF; it is even mentioned in the forum rules, as you well know.

In fact, the word filter is a standard feature of vBulletin, which means that EntropiaPlanets has one as well.

User error, usually.

What type of image are you trying to upload? Filetype/size/dimensions

You made things personal right from the start (as expected) with your completely unfounded (and technologically impossible) conspiracy theory of some super-secret image filter in place on EF to prevent certain types of images from being uploaded.

 

But we're getting lost in details here, there are much better questions that demand clarification:

Is it allowed to post links to content here on EF?
Yes or No?

Is it allowed to have EP signature banners over on EF?
Yes or No?

Is it allowed to inform my friend via PM on EF that there is a new forum? (and thinking about it, i have a lot of friends, must be at least 500...)
Yes or No?

Is it allowed to give EF members the opportunity to win PEDs and take part in competitions held here on EP?
Yes or No?

Is there ANY content mentioning EP that is NOT considered "blatant recruiting"?
Yes or No?


A simple YES/NO as answer is absolutely sufficient.

Once we got these answer we are heading somewhere, don't worry there are more...

 

Funny how you no longer enjoy the off-topic discussion (which you initiated by the way) when my responses completely destroy the ridiculous conspiracy theory you were trying to push forward. ;)

Yes.

It depends what the purpose of the signature is.

If the banner/sig exists primarily for the purpose of recruiting members to EP, then no.

Otherwise, yes.

No.

No.

Yes.

 

Actually, you are just playin dumb here - and rest assured, i know more about such "technologies" than you, my dear - you expect a file upload of the latest banner, yes, i even announced it here, and you block the checksum - even a kid could code that, so don't try to make it look as if i am talking about some Star Trek technology here.

That was a rhetorical question, you very well know that.

Within the criteria, i deleted it already, but i'll ask Lykke for a copy.

There was no personal attack against you, i just question the way you handle this issue/run EF in general - if i'm starting personal you'll notice. Promised.

 

Isn't that up to the EP admins? If some poor EF member were to stumble in on EP by his own machine and wished to join one of your competitions..

Hardy harr harr :D

 

Read my post, your reaction is all thats ridiculous here:
It is absolutely no problem to block a single (known) file.
And you do know that.

Elaborate, somehow i have the feeling that you will label everything with "entropiaplanets" on it as "sole purpose is recruiting".


So, will you include "entropiaplanets" in the word filter now, which is even applied to PRIVATE text in PMs (PRIVATE mails)?

 

I am not sure what you mean by "expect a file upload of the latest banner" and I am not clear how this would help build a blacklist. Even if it could, a user could simply change one pixel on the image and the entire image checksum would be completely different, thus defeating your imaginary ultra-advanced image filter.

Well, this thread is not about "how I run EF in general," it's specifically about the relationship between EF and EntropiaPlanets (which as far as I can tell, has precious little to do with you, in fact).

 

I don't understand your objection, if i set up a competition based on EP i surely want to advertise it wherever possible - no idea what this got to do with the EP admins, really.

And your posts are not helpful by any means, so why don't you just refrain from interspersing useless comments till we get somewhere.

Pretty pleeezee, sugar coated.

 

Jesus wizzsszz, get some sleep, eat a little, take a shower and do some smiling exercises or something if thats what it takes to make you less hostile.

Btw, what I meant was the wording of your sentence. It sounds like if 711 would have a problem with letting members of EF attend EP competitions.
I know very well it was about using EF to promote EP-events, but it sounded a bit off ;)

 

Innocent (as you pledge so overwhelmingly credible) until proven guilty, fine fine - i will find out what went wrong and get back to you.

It is not personal (yet), depends a bit on if you insist to stick to random insults - and it has to do with every member of the forums.
I can't even count how many complaints about censorship on EF i have read&heard over the last years.

It is up to you to make this a fair thingie, but apparently, everything NOT under your control is hostile, and you've made that pretty clear in the past.

And on a sidenote: There can't be threads on "how you run EF", because you censor them... but there should be.

 

But how would I 'know' the image the first time it is uploaded? You keep dodging that question.

You also keep dodging the other point: what would prevent a user intent on bypassing the filter from slightly altering the image (i.e. editing a single pixel color), so that the file checksum turns out completely different?

You can't answer that, and it's precisely why such an image filter is not in widespread use on the internet.

That depends on how things proceed from this point.

If you or others attempt to incite the situation by seeing how far you can push the rules, and the EF staff is subsequently required to spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with inappropriate links or promotional efforts, eventually the decision could be made to block hyperlinks to EntropiaPlanets.

On the other hand, if you decide to respect VF and Lykke and their efforts to build this community, you will refrain from such behavior and there would be no need to prevent such hyperlinks.

As I said in my first post in this thread, the situation we have now is not by my choice or a result of my actions. I would have preferred a much more amiable coexistence.

 

Yeah, it indeed sounds like 711 has a problem with letting members of EF attend EP competitions:

Nuff said.

 

You do realize you are able to promote EP outside EF right?

Like I said, if someone (who happens to be a member on EF, like many active entropians are.) would find their way to EP (not via EF.) then the only possible obstacle between letting them join the competition would be the EP staff.

 

This thread has started to become rather stupid

 

I dodge nothing, i already told you i will get back to you in this.
But to give you a hint, the EP banners are available here in the auction gallery, easy to get a checksum.

I know that, you know that and yet it works the same with the word filter, if i type "n e o v i x e n" it will not be recognized - but it wokrs untill people find out... your point?

Argueing with yourself gets us nowhere, really.

Ah, i see - you only censor when you are forced to...

You are not the politician you think you are:
Why is posting links to EP disrespect for Lykke and Peter?

Funny, both sides claim that they just want a peaceful coexistence...

However, it is blatantly obvious that you feel threatened by everything that is not controlled or at least hosted by you. (i.e the current situation with the radio stations not hosted by you)

There will be no coexistence as long as the driving force behind all your actions is nothing but fear.

Freaking out over some PMs LYkke wrote on EF - sheesh, they know a lot of people, i do not even get why you waste the time on such a non-issue and even post all these long-winded posts here over this...

Funny, too, that you do not address that stuff over on EF btw... ;)


/Edit:
Were you just paranoid enough to test whether links to EF are blocked?
But yeah, i must be the guy with the tinfoil hat...

 

EP-related threads on www.EntropiaForum.com

Which was exactly why I asked 711 to delete me ever being a part of Entropia Forum, and what he did was to "ban" me eventho he was asked to delete everything I ever contributed...

So fact must be that I contributed a lot of golden posts that he don't want to delete, but he wants me to have a bit fat ban flag over my head in there all the time.. What a <REMOVED>.

Anyway, I know EF is the most busy forum about EU atm, but with the control strategies eventully 711, <REMOVED> whoever <REMOVED>there will get the board terminated and everyone will eventually leave the board as I did - 3 times.

I used to have a lot respect for EntropiaForum users, some of them are just naive teenagers that don't want to hear or understand logic. Hence I left.

I'd like an admin like Lykke that its possible to TALK to or WRITE to in logic if she thinks I went over some line, instead of an 711 narrowminded moderator that just bans and kicks whenever he feels like it - and it seems that his actions is just as random as his state of mind when it comes to doing moderation.

YAY for a female boss! ;)

 

Actually, it appeared that you were asking "Is it allowed to advertise EntropiaPlanets competitions and events on EF"?

The answer to which would be, No.

Perhaps you should phrase your question more clearly, since as Skam explains, the only people who could possibly prevent EF members from participating in EntropiaPlanets competitions are Lykke and VF, not the EF staff.

 

EP-related threads on www.EntropiaForum.com

Hey Tom
I had to removed some racists words. It is not because we do not edit things here on EP but we are trying not too. We just wish people would follow the few rules we have and 'behave' ;)

Lykke

 

Perception is a funny thing.
Though Lykke seems to be at fault generally. (not excluding the fact that the end result might have been the same and the pm's were just a convenient excuse)
Neo still looks far worse for engaging is such childish threads. Despite politicians you really can't attain "moral high ground" or ethical respect by engaging in these molestations.

 

I referred to the competition promoted on EF, the one that you linked in your first post and your interpretation as "recruiting purposes only" which is imo nothing but unfair - unfair to the members on EF and unfair towards those running the competition.
