RE: Purging - Wesker - 01-31-2017
I sure as hell hope I dont get purged, I like my characters and have do e a ton more for RHA than past leaders. Killing off people's entire work on this game is going to far.
Thats coming from the person that torches peoples pobs that have existed for years.

@sindroms Fair enough. Still needs a solution to the damage done and one to prevent the exact same damage to occur in future.

@sindroms hopefully you dont roll with your impressions and guesses before causing exterminatus next time then. Why you didnt ask alley or someone knew surely before committing a purge?

No, I assure you, I will continue pushing buttons I do not know about o7
Alley was at work.
She is scolding me as we speak.
Not in the kinky way either.

It's a tool that will delete all post of a spammer and ban the IP, as you knew that already since its not the first time is being used while you were been part of the staff.
It's meant to stop a spammer as the name suggested and its the only option a moderator has to ban an ip.

Exactly What Hannibal said. We were taught to never press "Purge" because it basically deleted everything made by user. I mean "OK. Poop happens"

Perhaps we should refrain from doing irresponsible acts that will hinder the experience of others, in the future. Okay?
RE: Purging - Cælumaresh - 01-31-2017
Is there a way to even revert such a purge in the event someone presses it?
Like, sure, Shiki deserved a slap, but not everythin to be deleted. He worked hard for all he has done.
Its like someone stepping in your carefully tended to garden for 30 years, and putting a flamethrower on it and saying "sux2bu"

Get the snapshot DB of the forum that is 1 week old. Start exporting only posts made by Shiki then import those DB entries into the current DB of the running forum. Of course that would probably only be possible if IDs in the database tables didn't get overwritten or something after the purge. I'm not an expert here though, never did any MyBB administrating.
RE: Purging - Hannibal - 01-31-2017
i think conrad set the backup to be made once each 3 days last time
however admins don't have that kind of access(only to VM of a the windows running the fl server) and no knowledge of how to restore specific posts/threads
so.. up to alley
