I THINK WE GOT IT !


(lol, seriously, why so big and caps etc. ?
Also, maybe if you change your username to DJ_O, newcomers won't get confused)

We tried it. That didn't quite work.

DJ is forever incorrectly entrenched in Omnimaga's imaginary as our Benevolent Dictator for Life.

Edit: ninja'd. SpiroH, it's pretty much the latter. Actually, I think the user in question tod me he only wanted you to get the admins. Which you couldn't because you, I and the admins in question were all asleep.

So yeah, DJ have the Internet equivalent of a wise man's big white beard on Omnimaga, everyone knows it's been 12 years he's been here on Omnimaga (which is a whole lot for an internet community) so I think it might be normal everyone goes after him for counsel.

I already pushed the admins to appoint an active European mod.

Also this blog post sums up everyone's reaction this morning. I know right, coincidentally it also happened in another community I'm in on Facebook this morning, so this post sums it up for both.

So yeah, the first names you should be yelling for in case of emergency should be Eeems, Shmibs, DT and Fish, not me and DJ (although in certain cases I might be able to solve it up because I'm still CoT).

Not to hijack this topic, but I'm open for a mod/admin position.

('Sorunome' wouldn't mind, i guess)!

Hm, how did you guess that.

I thought that DJ was contacted to get an admins number? Anyway, I think a good way to combat bots when no one is around is to have a temp auto ban of a user if their respect gets to like -10 or -20 or something in a specific time period or don't allow people to post every 5-7 seconds! It was pretty amusing seeing the new posts almost get filled up that quickly!

Because even with regular sized (and underlined all-caps) and an epileptic signature, it was still not enough for people to get it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it still happened with large all caps and swearing. As for my nick, I still had it happen as DJ_O, so it wouldn't make a difference. Btw my nick used to be DJ Omnimaga Not Admin for a while, but the people who didn't realize I am not admin anymore kept complaining about its length.

Another issue is that my music sales on Reverbnation and Google ranking actually increased after I switched back to DJ Omnimaga.

Yeah, this very morning we've had a nasty user ('naharensthelm') flooding the site with lots of silly posts and as a matter of fact all mods were asleep because they all live on the other side of the Atlantic. Suggestion: try to engage some european guy as a mod too ('Sorunome' wouldn't mind, i guess)!

Yeah to answer this post and aeTIos' it would be nice if the team was renewed with new staff, but it would be better to get staff that are guaranteed to remain around in long terms and not disappearing for two months every few season or so. Also preferably not wait one year to give new CoT/Admin positions/whatever like last time (even if it means pushing back Omnimaga v7/SMF 2.0 upgrade.)
