after how much time the thread get graveyarded, exactly?

>>479388
Looks like two months.

>This thread will self destruct in a few days.
(Maybe move it to /questdis/, unpinned, then instead?)

What kind of interval are you going to be running this thing on?

>>479465
(Sure, that works)

That is mostly up to the graveyard mod, but I would wager every 1-2 weeks. Every mod has access to the button, so it might get pressed by them on occasion as well. If all that fails, I would likely press it myself after 3 weeks of non-pressing.

In general quests will get moved there more often, but I'm hoping the stigma or implied insult of it will be lessened by the fact that it's done by ~*magic*~

I'm saying Dylan's coding is magical.

>inb4 the script malfunctions and graveyards every single thread

>>479486
No, I'm pretty sure that won't happen twice.

>>479486
That's fine; just write a similar script to move recently-updated quests back out of the graveyard.

And watch them duke it out when both misfire.

>>479617
People will tell stories of the day when the server broke down into internal civil war, and no one thread survived the onslaught.

Sounds good to me

Rather than wasting people's time pressing buttons, why not just set the script to run on a timer every 2 weeks? I mean, there's no reason not to.

>>479762
Then mods would have to be careful not to revive threads if they might be re-graveyarded before the author gets to bump them, or something like that

>>479762
It took like 3 years to convince Dylan to program a button. You really wanna go for a fully-automated script? :V

>>479769
If we went so far as to have a fully automatic script, it'd probably have some kind of thing to not move posts that have been recently moved or something


I'll be moving this thread to /dis/ and removing the sticky tomorrow.

that is a creepy bird.

>>479933
So how many of us need to bug him until he finishes post editing?

Personally I think post editing is a bad idea for the quest format, at least, if anyone can edit their posts. That could lead to shenanigans and/or vote-counting errors.

I suppose it could be okay if there was only like, a 5-minute window to edit posts?

>>479986
We have post editing in the form of deleting your post and reposting a fixed version.

A site-wide editing could be tricky to pull off, for various reasons and meta-reasons, but I'm still pushing for an easier method of post editing that uses the mod panel, rather than having to dive into the database and mess with the HTML by hand

Anyway, I think enough people have seen this, so TO THE DISCUSSION FORUM

Turns out there's a button to empty the reports table in the database, so when some jerk reports every thread with "1", they can be made reportable again.

It should be safer to report the OP of a thread now, since I will do that in response to report-spam. However, if a quest is revived, and then falls to the graveyard again, chances are you'll need to report the second post (or third, etc).
