Running Wild in the Databases

Posted by DesertFox on Aug. 12, 2010, 8:47 p.m.

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.

Unless you have boobs.

Also can someone implement a reply feature that automatically quotes posts already

Weird, I could have sworn that feature already existed o.o

Is it really that inconvenient to type a few characters and then copy and paste?

KaBob799 14 years, 4 months ago

What is inconvenient is having everybody posting
