    @'Ryan' I’m trying to move away from TFM where I can, this is one of the areas it made a lot of sense to do so.


    @'Ryan' I’m not sure what you mean by “Holiday message integration” though and AFAIK they’re just custom announcements…

    tab messages, hub decorations, and other changes are planned to change more often for significant events, and some of that will be handled by plugins automatically. i am only thinking ahead - if NM doesn't allow for the extensibility that we might want at some point regarding announcements, this is a good time to plan ahead.

    @'Ryan' I also want to move a lot of this stuff to the website when we build it

    as in something like https://totalfreedom.me/conduct?

    Quote

    @'Ryan' I doubt the NM Announcement system supports that, but will find out.

    this is a tiny bit off-topic, but is there any chance of announcements going back to being handled by TFM? i suppose that might require the other servers to run a stripped-down TFM stand-in, which doesn't exist atm. i'm trying to consider how we might want to extend broadcasts in the future, like the holiday message integration.

    @'Ryan' It shouldn’t resolve in a web browser at all… It should just take you to the bungee in game… Not sure what there is to put SSL / TLS Against given there is no web server behind it afaik.

    that part of my message was mostly because Firefox has integrated HTTPS Everywhere functionality, so it doesn't like to load insecure pages without user confirmation. if there's no plans to make use of the site, no problem there.

    @'r00t' Plugin(s) impacted:
    Unknown

    this originally used TFM, but now uses NetworkManager so that they are broadcast to every server in the network.


    also what's up with the full links in chat? we have tf.fo, we could just use it as a redirect like https://tf.fo/conduct.
    or better yet maybe the message itself could be a clickable link


    p.s. please add SSL to tf.fo

    vouch, reliable & trustworthy history.

      Tizz I think it’s a bit early not to believe most of the vouches will be for popularity or just because we don’t have other choices in your time zone.

    imo i don’t care much for timezones, and popularity is no more a factor in this vote than any other. i suspect this is about mental health. have your doubts resurfaced since the reinstatement? (link)

    this is technically a few suggestions in one, but the ideas are closely-related enough that i thought they should be introduced together.


    Information category:

    additions (#reaction-roles):

    pronouns: Ask for Pronouns, Any Pronouns, She/Her, He/Him, They/Them, It/Its
    region: Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America
    guild: Guild Announcements, <list of guilds> (see next section)
    playstyle: Builder, Redstoner, NBT Item Creator, Roleplayer (could use improvements here)


    Guild Information & Announcements category:

    removals:

    • remove the #guilds-information channel. move "Guilds Information & Requirements" to #information and guild role selection to #reaction-roles.
    • remove the #guild-announcements channel in favor of #announcements as an opt-in role
    • remove the Guild Information & Announcements category entirely (private guild channels will still appear in their own section)

    the IP is likely their real IP, so as far as i can tell this appeal is meant to be taken seriously.

    it's reasonable to believe they don't actually own a minecraft account, but rather exclusively use public alts.
    i wouldn't be surprised if they were also matscalle, but i have no hard evidence to back that up. the two have a close relationship, very similar communication styles, and matscalle often randomly calls for anes' unban. although they could just be good friends.


    offenses:

    Quote

    !- allegedly, attempted account stealing. breach of computer misuse & data protection laws in jurisdictions relevant to tf

    • framing any member of tf
    • frequent ban bypassing. if anes is matscalle then you can add vote manipulation
    • attempted IP logging

    opinion:


    i object. tbh they're not even a very big threat to the server, they just have a tendency to deliberately get themselves into deep shit. and instead of reflecting and expressing remorse, they undermine our ban system and voting process


    in general, i have no issue with public alts being used on the server. but as an OP, there's no way to tell them apart from an impostor (no don't) or bypasser. so i couldn't trust one as staff, nor with perms in my guild, faction, region, plot, etc.

    i object. during events, you would be expected to act as an admin, and you would represent the server in an official capacity, both things which i object to. you actively ignore community guidelines and seem to put very little effort into communicating. i don't believe that's due to a language barrier but either by choice or lack of interest.

    object. many of dree's supporters are insincere. they have urged this player to apply because they would enjoy watching dree face harsh responses, not because they actually trust dree to do a good job. that isn't every vouch.


    even so, dree has low maturity, no respect for others or their boundaries, and no respect for server policies. from my personal experiences with them they have proven themselves untrustworthy and not committed in any way to the server.

    @'Anes' how dare you solicit sympathy from this community after what you have done not only to us but your parents. you must learn consequences before you experience just how cold this world can be.

    you've made this post to brag, but it doesn't make you look good. if you haven't bought this yet, i'll try to save you from the pain that will come 3-6 months from now. if you have already bought it, there is no easy way to say this, you have made many expensive mistakes.

    @'Anes' 64 STACK gb of ram

    there are perfectly legitimate reasons to need 64 gb of ram, but you strike me as more of a gamer than a data scientist or professional after effects user. if i'm right, you'll probably never make use of more than 16gb. please don't waste your money.

    the numbers that come after are just as important as the beginning. this reads like only getting halfway through a sentence.

    @'Anes' blue gaming Speakers

    i thought you meant Blue brand until i realized they only make mics, headphones, and accessories for those things. i would be suspicious of any speakers marketed as "gaming speakers". the audio equipment industry is classy and pricey. i suspect you probably don't have your own space, so i would recommend investing in a good professional pair of headphones. it will be a better experience and it's only fair to those you live with.

    @'Anes' Capsys keyboard

    are you algerian, or does it come in a combo deal with a prebuilt pc? this is an algerian keyboard costing the equivalent of 5 pounds or 7 usd. this brand isn't available on any english-speaking storefront.

    Quote

    !even if the listing had "gaming keyboard" in the title, the keyboard should be considered temporary, or if possible entirely avoided, because it will break in a few months, and it will be very uncomfortable and loud until then. for your replacement look for one with cherry or gateron switches or buy a membrane keyboard instead. if you specifically want a gaming keyboard, avoid logitech g.


    @'Anes' 1TB of storage

    1TB SSD storage is the minimum i could ever recommend someone in good conscience for a new desktop build. maybe 500 if it's for a boomer facebook user. times are changing. october is also a bad time of year to buy storage. waiting just a month or two from now would save you 70 pounds/100 bucks.


    also op will definitely skip to here instead of reading all of this which is the mindset that gets you in this situation to begin with.


    also this is a bypasser
