Quick Notes From Behind The Scenes

from the holy-cow-1k-users dept.

Hey, just a heads up on our Day 1 status. I've made some tweaks to the moderation script to handle the surge of users we've gotten, so modpoints should start flowing more easily. I'm making a few more tweaks right now that should get this working as expected (I am going to have to purge out the point in system to reset the script though, so if you have modpoints right now, don't be surprised if they suddenly vanish into the ether.

We know there have been some issues with both registration and submitting stories. On the registration front, some of our emails have been marked as spam, so if you're not getting them, check spam filters. In addition, for the last half an hour, we had a problem with a human confirmation check breaking, which just got cleared. We'll keep you apprised of any updates to this. As for story submissions, this looks like an artifact of a human confirmation script that got re-enabled when we went live. It should be working properly now for logged in users, as well as AC, though I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope to have a more verbose tech write-up of the site sometime tonight.

    Indeed - good catch.

    That will teach me to post from the +long-past-your-bedtime timezone.

        The nice thing is that those of us who are early adopters are the ones with the positive attitude, who want to see this new community succeed. So we don't even want to get into arguments with each other.

        Hence my inability to get modded down despite directly asking for it!

    Surely your UID is a gift from the mods...

      Just watched a count in the IRC channel, had the screen set and ready, saw 1023 and slammed create account!

      But a site contributor was behind the scenes putting out that information publicly, so I guess it was a gift!

    k K and Ki

    Is that the society for racist nerds?

    Aside: In the other place, <quote> works as an alias for <blockquote>, but here it seems to be stripped out.

      Why type the extra 4 letters if the function is the same?

      This is where some languages have advantages while others have more robust features at the expense of verbosity.
