kukacs account?

[titi]

What happened to kukacs account? Why was it deleted? Anyone knowsn anything about it?
( And no, I'm not talking about his dumb banned joke )

[Gabbe]

probably something to the server? som mod felt for deleting since he was "abusing" when editing others post?

[ElimiNator]

I don't know? I never saw him abusing anything...

[Trappin]

Kukac has been a mod on this board for many years and has always been firm but fair. If someone with administrative authority deleted his account then they should be stripped of their moderator status and temporarily banned from posting on this board for at least 60 days.

Just to let you guys know, I didn't do it, nor do I have the power to do so.
Only admins can ban and delete users.

Can you copy in a backup of his account?

[Gabbe]

he had around 700 posts i think and close to 800...

[titi]

Yes, these are the facts, but what happened? Maybe the glest board is hacked? Or is it just his account?

[Gabbe]

If i were admin and after this post:

I wouldn`t dare to come forth.. ::)

[wciow]

AFAIK only 3 people have admin rights to this forum: Titi, Omega and Martinho  :look:

[Gabbe]

I wouldn`t say any of em are...untrustworthy...

[ElimiNator]

If some one did it, it was ether Martino or Omega... I doubt they would do that on purpose...

[softcoder]

Perhaps one of the admins could simply re-create his account and email him??

[Gabbe]

he is partially on. on kukac nr 2...

[ultifd]

Just wait for Omega everyone... people need some patience...he has some stuff to do.
Most likely a server error, or Omega accidentally deleted his account while maybe testing to delete the bots? maybe, as kukac is not the only one...

Now there is an likely explaination  :thumbup:

[ultifd]

To discuss quickly, I'm thinking of purging the entire database of every user that is older than 2 weeks (28 days) and has not posted at all (zero posts). I see no problems with that. I'll give a few days to object for some reason then perform it (after a backup, of course   :)). This will reduce the database size, making backups easier, give a more accurate count of the current number of forum accounts, and stop the bots from hogging all the server space!

Yes, a possibility...
Anyways, as I think everyone else would think, I hope this problem will be resolved...soon or not.  :|
Good Luck...

[Gabbe]

Sooner, not later.

[ultifd]

Sooner, not later.

He has his finals.
Everything can not be at the best...but if it somewhat the "best" then it's good...

[Gabbe]

tit, can you remake him mod? Atleast on kukac nr 2?

[ultifd]

You might as well wait for Omega...to reply...publicly at least...  ::)
Also, well, titi is too tired for now I think...it is like 1:50 AM for him...  :(
Right now.

[Gabbe]

same for me and im awake.

[ultifd]

same for me and im awake.

Yeah, well there is a difference for him...he isn't 14,...etc.
and he has a job and other stuff to do.
and you like to raise your post count...  ::)

[Gabbe]

okay, last post now, OT /

[ultifd]

You don't have to state end OT if you aren't going to post something relative...oh well.

Omega, when  you read this, can you check if ace frog was accidentally deleted too?

Maybe Kukac was not the only one...  :|
Thanks...

[Omega]

First of all, I can stress that I did not delete his account, nor ace frogs, or anyones recently.

Right now I'm looking to see if I can find out what happened, but currently, I can't find any records, at least not in SMFs log...

I personally doubt the board was hacked, since its been active for a long time, and we have a stable version of the board, not an RC. Titi mentioned something about the masterserver could allow access, but I'm not so sure about that since the board is password protected and I believe only jose and perhaps the rest of the glest team know the password. Anyway, I'm stumped, so for now, I'll see if I can restore the account.

I'm all open for suggestions though.

//EDIT: From what I can find, a restore is the only way I know. I have a backup about half a week old. I'll leave the choice to you guys. Never had to restore a backup, and not sure if it would simply overwrite everything or if it would work as an addition...

//EDIT2: Oh crap, the backup can only be restored with access to the servers database program. While I have experience with this, I don't have access with this, so obviously cannot do so... Perhaps the glest team could. But then there's still the problem of the loss of about half a week or so of posts (thats quite a bit). Perhaps it's possible to make a "difference" one that can be restored? I haven't a clue, but we'd need the Glest team's help for sure at that.
