New Compo!
Posted 16 years ago2008-09-17 01:32:02 UTC
As promised plus a week of delay, a new compo is here!
Compo brief is here.
Official compo thread is here.
Also be sure to check out our newest tutorial, the Coding Fog Addendum tutorial by darkphoenix_68. He's done a fine job re-writing the old tutorial, which now has much more clarity and is easier to read.
On another note, the behavior of the forums needs an uplift. We're contemplating the idea of temp-bans to all those who might degrade the forum on a daily basis. Dont derail off-topic without relevance. Dont argue a thread into a flame-fest. No posting links that lead to anything porn related (I'm definitely serious about this one). Lastly, dont make useless spam journal threads that aren't either mentioning something serious or showing off work. It's common sense. If I need to write a guide on forum etiquitte, I will. You know who you are.
Edit: Because of concern in the shoutbox, my definition of "serious" journal posts extend to the light hearted ones too. Habboi's pirate journal is just fine. We really just want to avoid the completely mindless ones like the "Andrew J. Morris's" and the failcat pictures. No memes of any kind unless they're in conjunction with something else.
Edit2: Rephrased: Dont make your journal posts one sentence that says "I did something!". Also if you have a journal post of good length, dont edit it back to one sentence.

Now, about that warning: It's some of the language I've been noticing that concerns me the most, and I'm not talking about swearing, either. Discriminatory terms, describing things as 'gay' or anything along those lines does not have a place on TWHL. I personally won't even be issuing warnings because, as Grim said, you know who you are.
Of course, it is now up twice; once under the "Coding Fog Addendum" title and once under the original title...
Do I need to do anything else about this, or is it something which can be fixed on your end?
Up to you guys, of course... I was originally led to believe that the original could not be deleted. shrug
"describing things as 'gay' or anything along those lines does not have a place on TWHL."
That means Luke's TWHL activity will be reduced by 50%. (jk)
Is "ghey" acceptable?
PROVE THAT I MEAN IT
Is a "I beat a game" journal ok if you include a summary of the gameplay and stuff? Because i kinda like to do that.
So yeah, show things off, complain about something, praise something, tell us what you're up to, whatever. We just don't want anyone going stupid or offensive.
