If you have trouble with something posted in klan forums (for example, embedded shock), please contact your klan admins, not the Flamebate moderators.
Klan admins set the rules for their own forums. If they want to allow browser hijackers, embedded shock, etc. it’s up to them.
If you have a problem with something you see in a klan forum, bring it up to the administrator. They can invite a mod in there to clean up something they don’t like.
Please note that the above DOES NOT apply to illegalities: CP, loli, etc. Those are prohibited. If you see those posted in a klan forum, use the reporting tool. Moderators (me and tubs) can’t do anything about it, but we’ll bring it to ET’s attention for immediate handling.

Are we the only klan being spammed to hell, or are there other klans affected by this? COLGATE BLUE MINTY GEL

While there have been the odd reports here and there over time, currently, yes, it’s only you guys (7 vibrating doldoes) who are being affected — or rather, who are reporting it.

Nobody else is complaining directly to me about klan forum spam.
remember that klan officers allowed these people to come into the klans and post. TUBSWEETIE edited this message on 12/02/2008 1:35PMHobart Bliggity Posted: |

I thought klan admins don’t actually have any moderating power. |

They don’t, but they DO have inviting powers, which is what Tubs was alluding to. We invited douchebags, so fabulous personry was what we got on the boards, and we had noone to blame but ourselves for it. In other words, we deserved it.
Which is a somewhat valid point. I wasn’t offended by the spam at all, but I guess some other people took offense to it. Whatever. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! |

And this, my friends, is exactly why our klan has its own offsite forum. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! http://falconfour.com/bumhurt-cinematic |

Mods aren’t admins.
Suppose that not everything in my klan forum is for general consumption: Mods still play the game. I’m okay with keeping them out. As for why ET hasn’t given klan admins/officers mod powers, I bumume it’s because that’s not how the forums are coded and it’s a low priority issue, but I have no special knowledge about phpBB or ET’s reasoning.

We are doing no such thing.
I’ve asked ET for a long, long time to give klan admins tools to moderate their own forums. I’ve volunteered several times to enter klans for the sole purpose of stickying/cleanup, and many klans have taken me up on that.
There’s a legitimate argument against giving mods access to all klan forums (aside from the unwieldy list of forums we’d have to scroll through): we’re players of this game, same as you. If we’re working with one klan on, say, domination, why should we have the advantage of being able to see all other klans’ plans?
And yes, klan admins have always been allowed to allow things like shock images in their klan forums. If you don’t like it, leave the klan. Those forums aren’t under the same restrictions because 1) of the nature of the site, and 2) because no one will “stumble” across them.
So take your whining to Whiny ****es, and leave the Game Discussion thread for useful discussion.

They may be part of the server, but they aren’t public. Illegal images (loli, CP, etc) are still illegal and SHOULD be reported. (remember to mention what klan forum it’s in if you find them and report) Shock images, spam, and browser hijackers aren’t illegal and are only bannable in public forums.
MC’s dead on that it’d be unfair to give us ability to peer into rival klan forums as we both actively play domination. Maybe the ability to see only reported posts when linked to through the report tool would work. Hobart Bliggity Posted: |

Unfortunately there is one major key flaw in your reasoning, and it all always seems to come back to the one main point of my argument: Klan admins don’t even have the power to allow or disallow something in their klan forums. If someone posts something in their Klan forums, the only thing an admin can do is boot the person (and that’s what happens in our Klan). But the posts are there and the only way we can be rid of them is to report them to a mod, and where does that get us? Mods screaming “quit reporting posts, baww, it’s not our job!”. Well, sad to say, but at the moment, it is by default. Log in to see images!
Also, on a vaguely tied-in point, it’s also ridiculous that there’s a 255 character limit on the post reporting page. With that limit there should at least be a JavaScript limiter, or a character counter like Twitter, that tells you where you stand in your character count, otherwise it gets even more frustrating as you try to send a report and it keeps telling you that your relatively brief and concise message couldn’t be sent because it was longer than fwz likes it to be. But that takes a back burner to just giving Klan admins their own moderating tools. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! http://falconfour.com/bumhurt-cinematic |

Can you ****ing read?
Reporting them to a mod is not the proper way because the posts could be fine by the klan admin. It’s not your place to say what’s okay or not in a klan’s forum, it’s the klan admin’s job. If they don’t like it, they have the option to contact us and get it handled. If you don’t like it, you have different options.

If the admin lets us know who their “moderators” are, sure. Otherwise you could just be someone trying to troll your admin.
