You are not correct about SHA-1 Windows updates, those were already discontinued in July 2020:
https://support.microsoft.com/…a2-b23d-498b-139ce5c709af

The impact of this specific expiration event seems to be limited to some annoying pop-ups:
https://support.microsoft.com/…19-4ae8-a7fc-6dedef110e6b

I actually want to make the even stronger statement that I think we should either have a limitation on the length or have this disabled by default. I really believe that such a cluttered chat can contribute to new players instantly leaving again.

If it is indeed a Windows problem, you can try using WSL to run it under Linux without having to switch your main operating system.

Rewritten to include the suggestion posted at https://forum.totalfreedom.me/…efinite-ban-self-requests.

Old policy for reference:

Quote

! > Indefinite ban requests are a way for admins to request a player to be banned from the server for an indefinite amount of time. In principle, an indefinite ban lasts until the player submits an indefinite ban appeal and that appeal is approved. More information about appealing indefinite bans can be found here: https://forum.totalfreedom.me/…definite-ban-release-form.

! > Players can only be indefinitely banned for committing one or more offenses from category 1 of the conduct policy. A list of these offenses can be found here: https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/7-server-conduct-policy.

! > Once posted, the request can be voted upon. Your vote should be based on the evidence in the thread, not your personal opinion of the player. The following points will be taken into account when deciding the outcome of a request:

• The total vouch/object ratio
• The ranks of the individual voters
• Whether a justification was given for a vote

The policy posted above is now in place, with the 3 month limitation mentioned by Dragon removed.

Apparently WoltLab does not consider these notifications. I can only disable them globally by hacking the HTML template, we need a plugin to toggle them per user.

@Telesphoreo#16744 We haven't customized that, so it's a typo in the default template. It should be fixed now, though.

@Tizz#16692 That bug has already been closed, Wild made the same mistake as UnderTails in this thread.

Interesting. It was definitely not white for me, and it doesn't look like the settings for this were changed in the meantime:

@wild1145#16634 The technically correct way to do it would be to regenerate each chunk in memory and compare that to what is actually in the world. That's not very simple, though, so we should definitely leave that until it actually becomes a problem.

The bottom line is that if Ubiquiti is not using any proprietary protocols to communicate between its devices, you can get anything to work with it with a sufficient amount of tinkering.

What is the size of the data from February 1 to March 31?

We can definitely enable this, but I'm not sure if we can do it without disabling block updates for all plants. That means placing a plant on a grass block and then breaking the grass block will no longer automatically break the plant.

@DragonSlayer2189#16580 If a person knows that they are subject to rapid mental health swings, I think it would be better both for us and for them to keep them off the server consistently for a longer period of time rather than constantly ban and unban them. However, I am not against getting rid of the formal limitation and simply focusing on the justification the player gives.

Unbanned.

Unbanned.

Incorporating this requires quite a lot of rewriting, so I am posting it here before making it official:

In principle, an indefinite ban lasts until the player submits an indefinite ban appeal and that appeal is approved. Players can only be indefinitely banned after committing one or more offenses from category 1 of the conduct policy (https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/7-server-conduct-policy) or after submitting a self request. In the case that both a category 1 request and a self request exist for the same player, the category 1 request takes priority.

Unlike category 1 requests, self requests and appeals are submitted privately, although a thread will be created in this section after the request has been approved to notify others. The appeal can be submitted at any moment and does not have a template. However, at most one self request can be submitted per 3 months.

@wild1145#16407 We completely disabled file attachments in ProBoards in July 2019 and did not get any complaints. I would suggest doing that in WoltLab as well since it will save you a lot of disk space over time. It also bypasses the issue of old posts breaking because attachments were purged.

I'm noticing that this is uploaded on your personal channel rather than the TotalFreedom channel. Did we lose the account again?

@wild1145#16459 The dashboard is designed to show the latest announcements or other things that I want the community to know about. It's not intended to be customized and that is by design. The dashboard is only shown if you go to the forums for the first time, or if you then click back to the dashboard. It shouldn't be something that ends up really getting in the way once you start using the forum.

Is the dashboard not just the main page of the forum? We've historically always had that set to either the list of boards or the list of recently updated threads. If you want to see a website, you should go to the website and not to the forum.
