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.
This is very important, if someone screws with my blogs, you'll see me later.
How about demoting a few mods? ;)
give me privs. i wanna be a mod :3
privs=CSS privs=/=mod
edit (cause that probably didn't make sense):Any privs any ofus are getting are just CSS privs, not mod.If this were Facebook, I would "like" this post.
In the real world, web designers don't usually get to be mods. They're just the ones who get their hands dirty. Learn this, because if you go asking your employer for a prestigious position, you'll get slapped and/or fired.
Unless your employer is kind to you.There's nothing to say a web designer has any online etiquette.If everyone has access to the databases, aren't passwords visible?
@Valhalla - passwords are hashed.
