Although this post seems rather pointless as I write it, it is a question that has long been hanging on my head.

Do Moderators skip the aproval process for FPSC related posts? The biggest offense I find is that occasionally some new account pops up asking for the reg code for FPSC, or giving out a clearly illigal link. And by clearly illigal, I mean it says illigal without any research needed.

The one I recently found, and think was deleted, was a new user under the name asdf (as I remeber). Who said that he lost the case and wanted anyone who would help him to email him the code to his real email. Shouldn't such posts be deleted before they even reach the boards?

I am not seeking to critize any of you, just seeking better understanding. It may be that the thousands of posts that you have to read that one may slip though. But as I never had to read a thousand posts in order to tell weither they are permisable, I don't know the rampafication of your job.

Problem is, I probally just answered my own question.

ugh i STILL don get why FPSC has 5 forums deticated to it... DBPro is a bigger/better product and it gets one board! D: I dont much like FPSC, just because i dont like drag and drop, but it is a very good program and its well written for the things that its made to do. Not hatin, just not my thing. I dont really know alot about who moderates those boards, maybe someone should keep an eye on it.

6 boards :p

But that is only so people buy the product. But besides that, DBP has ALL the other boards. FPSC is a mini version of the DBP Forums

Product Chat=General
Showcase=WIP
Models and Media=Graphics thing...

The idea behind the FPSC forum layout I think is to keep it in one place, so they can have seperate showcases etc - they even have their own general discussion area called 'FPSC Product Chat' .

There is no difference in policy depending on the section of the forum your in. Some sections don't get as much attention from the mods as others, like FPSC's sections - but I'm not sure there's much that can be done about that bar Rich locking one of us in there over night (I vote Indi!).

The FPSC board looks like hell to moderate. Never had to do much there, usually I spend my time approving posts by perfectly normal new users

That FPSC boards are barren, lawless, evil evil places.

After seeing the atrocities there, I wouldn't recommend any mod to approach.

And they're holding daily cock-fights.

This is just funny, which also is a good point. What do you expect from a "lawless" land? As long as mods avoid those boards, everyone will behave lawlessy. What Rich should do is lock you all in there for the weekend. Then the FPSC Wars will begin...
*cue dramatic music*

The Brave Mods venture into the desolate lands of Efpesci slowly they creep from thread to thread, careful not to alert the sleeping posters. Upon the third thread-lock the Mods stumble into a poster encampment. The beasts are fighting each other, oblivious to their surrondings. They are covered in habitualants from the grave, and are drenched with the spilt blood of their enemys. From each of them seems to come a firy spirt, a flame, that comes forth and burns all who oppse them.

The mods slowly try to sneak out, when suddently a little child comes running up to them, holding a teddybear. Confronted by this pure innocence the mods let down their gaurd, and become aborbed by the hypnotic innocence the child represents. It was all a lie.

The child quicky gave out a horible cry, like the pain of a thousand spectors, the horible cry did not diminish, but rose... greatly, soon the mods were down on their knees begging for the sound to stop. And the posters took notice too, but rather then be repulsed by the sound, they joined in. It was at this point that the child smiled, revealing his sharped canines. He slowly aproached one, when another exclamed "Why are we listening to this?" upon saying this, he withdrew his weapon. It was a brillant golden sceptor, it was engraved with silver and bore the phrase "Ze Holy Sceptor of Bannment".

He held the sceptor out infront of him, and the child who was tearing limb from limb of the mod that once was suddently turned black, his skin began to shrivl and his mouth opened much deeper then the jaw would permit. His eyes became holo and a ghostly light starts to emrge. the light seemed to be trying to escape, infact it had come out in wildly dangle rays, as if they were tenticals, The mod fliped the scepter around and stabed the living corpse with it, and with a brillant display of partical effects, the child was no more.

The mods all had their weapons drawn, anticipating the battle. The posters close in bearing the bones from their fallen comrades... Will our heros survive? Find out in the next episode of the FPSC Wars!

Exeat, yes, I know that the FPSC Boards are scary. Thus I tried to depict them as such. But like soapyfish said, it is much worse. much much worse...

Actually, I strangly enjoy writting. This one ^ was a 15 min sketch, so it is not great... but regarding my phycological state... yes, I am crazy. Half of what I write is either depressing, morbid, or worse. Don't blame me for that fact, it is a chemical imbalence.

But as for the end... everyone know that the mods pull out "Ze Holy Hand Gernade" and finishes off the rest of the posters...

Actually, I was simply correcting Megaton's mispelling of the word scarred (assuming that's what he meant), scarred and scared are 2 completely different things. Although scaring may lead to scarring.

I thunk megaton did it on purpose.

Frankly, you ought to think of the DarkBASIC Classic board while you're at it. Moderators only visit every few months when either me, Benjamin, or some other well-meaning fool tells them of a nublet who's been spamming.

Maybe more moderators would fix this.
