    Well one Geth related feature is that the post box now has the information regarding Geth's "threat" setting and a list of users currently not allowed to post in a thread. If this includes the recently discovered banned phrases function, that's pretty damn cool.

    It does include the forbidden phrases as well, check out the webcomic thread in SE++. Crwth is able to post, but if you post his name (even as a quote) you eat an infraction.
    Kind of tempted to do a paint over of Voldemort to look vaguely like Crwth's avatar, but I'm pretty lazy.

    Is there anywhere where stuff like this is actually listed? I understand that people enjoy in-jokes but it would be pretty annoying to get jailed for not knowing an in-joke specific to a certain thread or subforum.
    If a thread has a forbidden word there'll be a bar at the top of the text field telling you what it is.

    If there is anything or anyone banned from a thread, your reply box will have the offending items/people listed alongside the threat level for posting such.

    There's no threat level listed. Out of curiosity, what's the default threat level then?

    Didn't something come up about pming Geth for statistics of some sort? How does that work?

  • SmasherSmasher Starting to get dizzy Registered User regular
    You could PM Robot Cupid (aka Geth) "statistics" to get your statistics for the valentine's day event. Dunno if that's still active or not.

    When Geth asks if I would like to know more, will it actually tell me more if I ask? I'm afraid to ask, but I'm just barely not afraid to ask about asking.

    It's a quote from the movie version of Starship Troopers.

    Yes, I know that. Everyone knows that. I want to know if it's more than that.

    So yes, I guess I would like to know more.

    Well, go ahead and ask. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you eat a permaban.

    i was young once... just a kid like you. i made my mistakes- but i always had good intentions. then, i looked geth in the eye... and said five words; words forbidden from being uttered.

    in a white hot flash, my vision failed me. my skin felt as if it was boiling and i couldn't speak. i was dead to the world. paralyed with fear, i played possum. i stayed completely still for 13 hours. isolated with only pain and regret for company.

    and then later, i was unbanned. that was really cool.

    So, what's the difference between Dog and Geth? Or are the robots slowly taking over?

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    Dog is a simple system account that creates the HUB threads.

    Dog is just an automated content poster

    You may think that, but just wait until he starts recovering his human memories.

    No, the trauma to the prefrontal cortex ensures that process is irreversi-

    Oh, I think I've said too much.
