Forums - Website Topics - VGC Updates: Inactive Tag - Head Moderator - Beta Tester

Platina on 02 November 2017

Happen to notice a new tag/category when you go to the member search:

Though when applying this keyword, nothing obvious shows up.. What could this possibly be for?

Sidenote: the 'Post Edited' feature is also removed now

..Update..
And now there is the Head Moderator Tag. Words are squished in but it will do

I suppose they're still working on it?

The post edit notification is gone already? Hm. I wonder why?

Along with the Beta Tester tag, looks like there is the new 'Head Moderator' addition as well

I guess I'll keep posting things I observe :p

Right - so here's the story behind the "Inactive" tag.

For quite some time (as most of you probably know), the website wasn't sending out emails for "Lost Password" issues. Well, it also wasn't sending emails for "New Registrations" either - which meant, if you created a new account on the website, you didn't get the "Click Me!" email which meant, you could never formally activate your account...

...enter Bug #2 - for some instances, it didn't matter whether you ever got the activation link or not. The code that checks whether your account is active or not, only seemed to work about 50% of the time - so users (including the spam bots!) could create and account, never get the "Click Me!" email, and yet still be able to access the website.

After I fixed the issue with the email, I also fixed the issue with the activation check - the good news with doing this is, all of the spam bots would be kicked off the website immediately. The bad news is, some legitimate users (those that had created an account but never formally activated) have gotten caught up in this and were suddenly kicked from the website, too.

The mods now have the ability to activate any of these users, and the "Inactive" search is designed to help them identify any account that's been registered, but has never been activated so they can go in there and activate those that they know are definitely legit.

Hope this clears it all up for you guys!! :)

...oh - end the "Last edited" tag is back.

Thanks for the info, recovery passwords should work for email accounts such as hotmail and outlook?

You are doing good Platina, correct section and all

I wonder if we'll ever get a Seal of Approval tag for quality members

They still need to add the Ruepel tag to the search.

I just use the first page of of descending post count to find all of the Ruepels.

Also, there already is a way to filter by Australia.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Also, our Beta Tester tag is now a different colour! Though you have to clear your cache to see that.
