Post by: Bl★ck Star on 06-04-2012

Same here actually, lol.  I have had to tell so many people I don't know the damn password.

I made a thread here a while ago to tell people to stop PMing me for it, but it diddn't stop.


Stop pming me for the password. Please.

I'm changing the system, saves a load of crap if we just send them the password when they are accepted. Not even 100% sure why we had that system implemented before.

What happens when the password is changed?  You send out a PM to every single person who has been accepted so far?  Or are you keeping the system of they PM you for the password when its changed?

Sadly there is (pretty much) no way to track down every single person who is on this server who has been accepted and is still active without a lot of work with little reward when we can use the current system. This means that whenever there is a change in password people must ask a moderator for it, this means that I am going to change it in the rules so that it is required for people to only PM either myself, James or Sxasxuxkxe so that all of you people who are connected to Caphori but are not specifically moderators for it don't get swamped down with PMs.

Write down who was approved. Solved.

When you approve someone, and first send them the password, send them a list of Terraria admins as well that they can PM when the password is changed.  Problem solved.

I will try, but don't expect anything tonight. I'll do your ideas but Ragolution that will just get a bit excessive, but I'll do it some time when I have an hour spare

How about a consistently updated roster?
Title: Re: Pming about the Password
Post by: RanmaChan on 07-04-2012
People obviously don't check the admin roster, if they did we wouldn't be having this problem.

I meant the player roster, for the convenience of the admins.


How about this?:


"Approved: Please PM James Almasy, JRParadox, or Sxaxsuxkxe for your password."


Or whoever happens to be an active mod at the time.

Nice.

Also, what sort of action should we take for those who keep PMing the wrong mods?

You look them dead in the eye, and ask as sincerely as possible:


"Please don't pm those guys."

Death cannon? But, in all seriousness, delay their getting of the  password for them just for a bit?

If only they listened to you :>




We don't really have a list of admins anyway. I'm just adding on a more concise suggestion.

Please make people join a terraria group in our social groups feature.

http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/index.php?action=sgroups;sa=list;gid=1 (http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/index.php?action=sgroups;sa=list;gid=1)

If done via moderators choosing who is in the group, then you can easily change password changes without having to pm people it.

By list, I meant a substantial list. I hardly consider three mods a list. ( Most of the other names on that list I've never even seen in game, nor have I seen any forums posts that have any current relevance.)


Even then, those three mods are hardly active as of late.


Aside from all that, I agree with the stuff you say.

Post by: Minion on 08-04-2012
so if they arent active, who do I pm for password? o.o could someone please check up on my brewery for me, I am getting anxious as to its state. Are there any holes in it?
Title: Re: Pming about the Password
Post by: VonXeno on 08-04-2012
Hardly active. But we at least know they still exist.
