Magicziggy 8th January 2012, 06:00 AM Luis Suarez is a Uraguayan footballer currently playing for Liverpool FC in the English Premier League He has recently been banned for 8 games and fined £40,000 having been found guilty of racial abuse during a game. Luis Suárez Wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Alberto_Su%C3%A1rez) 2011 racial abuse incident After a 1–1 draw against Manchester United on 15 October 2011, Suárez was accused of racially abusing Patrice Evra and the English Football Association opened up an investigation into the incident. Suárez wrote on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he was upset by the accusation and denied the claims. On 16 November, the FA announced it would charge Suárez with "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour contrary to FA rules", including "a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra." Liverpool F.C. released a statement announcing Suárez would plead innocent, add...

charlou 22nd December 2011, 12:30 AM We came to some good consensus at the discuss forum about most points, I think. Here we can work towards clearly defining our ideas, putting them into practice, and communicating them to all future members. Cunt 22nd December 2011, 02:09 AM Everyone is welcome to take on the responsibility of posting, forever. So is everyone else. MindRomp will make no policies or rules which reduce the participation of posting members. (could someone help with the phrasing here, please) If your personal information is posted here, you may remove it by public request. All administration actions must be proposed by one administrator and seconded (and reviewed or executed) by another administrator. To request an administration action, post in the admin request forum with your request. One will propose it, when another 'seconds' the action, it will be implemented (this just occurred to me, let me know what you think) There are probably more. nos...

charlou 21st December 2011, 11:08 PM Can someone add nostrum and MZ (yet to register - he's on holiday atm) to the admins, please? :) Cormac has said he's busy with irl and he'll have little time for the forum, so I think he'd not be suited to an admin role at this time? I need to get my arse back to the FF mafia game before I get lynched for inactivity. oblivion 21st December 2011, 11:13 PM nostrum says she doesn't want to be an admin and has volunteered to be the registered member guinea pig. I'm keeping an eye out for MZ and will give him admin abilities as soon as he's registered. charlou 21st December 2011, 11:14 PM okay, cheers ob. charlou 21st December 2011, 11:14 PM I sent MZ a link to the new forum. Cunt 22nd December 2011, 02:14 AM I will admin to the end of my abilities. nostrum 22nd December 2011, 02:34 AM ^ I will admin if needs be, but at this time there's no need, right? I am (somewhat) trainable :p Cunt 22nd December 2011,...

oblivion 21st December 2011, 10:48 PM Right now, mindromp.org is a page with a few meaningless links. I didn't make this the url for the forum itself because I think we'll want some sort of front page or portal for guests especially but also for members. I thought that it could be a place for us to display the vision and links to rules, the "quiz" or checklist, the registration page, etc. Anyway, I've found a free portal app that we could use for this purpose along with providing a sort of dashboard of what is going on in the forum. http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?do=productinfo&productid=4 This product is free. I'm not sure, but I think it's the portal that FF uses. I'll have a look around at other free portal apps designed specifically for vbulletin sites. charlou 21st December 2011, 10:57 PM Yep, thumbs up to this idea, too. Adenosine 21st December 2011, 11:03 PM Yup, definitely. nostrum 22nd December 2011, 02:19 AM *nods* obliv...

oblivion 21st December 2011, 09:05 PM I've disabled the ability to upload attachments, avatars, profile pictures, etc., for the registered user group. It looks like someone might have already done part of the configuration. One thing I noticed was that img tags were disabled for signatures in the registered users group. blingy sigs do bother some folks, but I wasn't sure if we intend to disallow images in sigs. Since right now we plan to not enable avatars, people may want to put an externally hosted avatar-like picture in their sigs. I'm going to go ahead and disable attachments, avatars, profile pics, etc., for admins, too. (and the moderator groups, though we may not use them. lol the only moderators MindRomp may ever have are GMs for mafia games. :D) Adenosine 21st December 2011, 09:51 PM Hang on! No avatars?! How will I be able to tell who has posted the bollocks? charlou 21st December 2011, 10:27 PM I don't recall a discussion about avatars? Images in s...

oblivion 21st December 2011, 06:27 PM Stuff we'll probably want: AME - The Automatic Media Embeder (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=189267) - alternative to youtube tags and recognizes some other sites as well as youtube. Cyb - PayPal Donate (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=177563) - donation app. has some neat features for helping the eventual treasurer, and for running a fundraiser. Favorite Smilies (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=123116) - lets you pick your favorite smilies to display first, so they are always in the smilie box when doing advanced edit. If a site has more than a couple dozen smilies, this comes in very handy. Mini Navbar (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125790) - this duplicates the breadcrumb at the top of the page between the logo and the blue bar and puts it at the bottom of the page. Makes navigation easy when you get to the bottom of a thread. My Threads - My Posts (http://servic...
