FSX recently opened up the V2 codebase to people so that they could learn how the site works, to aid in the development of V3.
Unfortunately, V2 being what it is, we are giving you guys a great amount of trust allowing you in. So, as a caution, here are some rules to follow.First off, no giving yourself or others moderator abilities. Database access does not make you a mod. Secondly, no screwing around with other people's stuff, be it preferences, blogs or comments. Even as a joke, or even if you think you are doing something nice for them. The only exception is if they ask.Finally, don't do things that screw up an entire page making it useless. Test your code elsewhere first, or at least in an "if(user is me)" statement.These rules exist to keep the site at least functional while you guys run amok in the code. Repeated failure to comply with these rules will result in me nagging FSX until he revokes the offender's FTP/database access.
Thank you.
All I can say is… No shit Sherlock. Who did anything like that? No one so far, right?
And if you think I did, well then you suck.@Xemic - I am thinking of one instance in particular, and not you.
Well seeing this after I actually started looking at PHP files and talking to you about it makes me feel like the target.
I'm surprised the site hasn't exploded already, except the members who are taking part are at least remotely reliable. Once we're done getting a feel for the code, I think it'll be some fast quick work, so long as we get some good organization and communication going.The database change I made was to calm my mind of where things really were. If you absolutely need me to change it back, I will.Run stripslashes on favorite users DF, this shows up in your friends:
Living dangerously.
@Kilin - oh you are fine, so long as you fix any problems you cause. You are supposed to be experimenting and doing cool things. I'm more concerned with people doing things they shouldn't
FUCK AUTHORITY!
but good rules. I wanted to get a simple backup system coded to backup the DB daily, as well as any files when they're modified so if stuff breaks, there's a backup. It's taking a while 'cause things are getting hectic at work. We're ramping up for a $35 million dollar government account. :oAs I mentioned elsewhere, I'm dubious about the reliability of Cyrus.
Fuck authority… Unless they give you $35 million
