Ask the Hive Staff

[Ash]

For now, you can consider it like a Russian prison tattoo.

 

[Rheiko]

I must be careful not to get that fucking awful tattoo then.

 

[Daffa]

It's a nice collection at UserCP
Not like I want one

 

[Yours Truly]

What if someone finds out that some other guy has multi accounts?
There is a software that allows us to change our address called the "HotSpot Shield" or summat.These kind of haxxor are hard to be caught I think.

 

[Chaosy]

If someone has many accounts they will be merged I think.
Not sure how the catch people doing it though, I'm told using a VPN only works to fool a system but not a person who knows what he's doing will find the real IP.

 

[HappyTauren]

Typically we just ban multi accounts as far as I know, punishing the MAIN one (usually the first one that came to exist). The IP check method is not reliable because you could as well access certain accounts from certain places, or you could have friends log into their account from your computer, it is just something to consider.

All this being said, if you go through trouble to use proxies just to multiaccount here... I'd say the staff would be more so flattered (but if found out, you'll still get punished).

 

[Daffa]

There are excuses for multi accounts AFAIR. If each person own different acc, they will not be punished.

Requires AC tho.

 

[pyf]

Gaaah, so I am seriously stuck with this mark of death? ;(

Could sincere repentance and good deeds for the Hive community, help remove it ? Everyone should be encouraged to wise up and grow up. This implies being able to leave his/her past behind at some point.

...in which case laser tattoo removal might be considered.

 

[Ash]

Well, the issue is that what we're referring to isn't anything. If it's a warning, then it has no impact on you whatsoever. If it's an expired infraction, it has no impact on you whatsoever. If it is an infraction, then these rules come into play. It is extremely rare that a neverending infraction will be given without a sufficient reason.

So these things are just in your UserCP at the moment. This will potentially be changed for Hive2.

 

[pyf]

Depends...

Warnings and infractions are designed to have some kind of psychological impact. It is *necessarily* something, be it expired or not, be it tangible or not.

The color red should not remain forever, even (especially ?) in the privacy of a UserCP. It should not feel like some kind of scarlet letter.

 

[HappyTauren]

Just to remind you guys - I've got 5 infractions on my profile.

 

[Roland]

I have more than 5 Infractions, Beat that bub! <3

 

[Yours Truly]

Are music RIPs allowed in our Warcraft project?

 

[Warseeker]

Just to remind you guys - I've got 5 infractions on my profile.

Me as well, the weird thing is they all were given to me by the same Moderator??
I dunno why...

 

[Ralle]

As long as you give credit.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

just a strange question to through out there.

is there a place on the hive where you can publish fan fictions about warcraft?

I see on fanfiction. com there are atleast 60 fan fictions about warcraft with nearly no one reading them. I feel hive would appreciate them more and as a minor benefit increase traffic to the hive.

ok slight mistake, it's actually 60 000 different fan fictions just for warcraft.

Guys, this thread is not Site Discussion, and not Staff Contact.
This thread is strictly specified to general staff related questions: "e.g. site policies, site rules, and site management."

Do you guys have Staff meetings outside this website by using Skype?

 

[Ash]

Do you guys have Staff meetings outside this website by using Skype?

Some of us do. It's not required, obviously. It's just easier to decide whose life to make radically more difficult in real time chat than it is via forum post (although you don't gain post-points on skype).

Importantly, we also voice chat on our Discord server. You guys should check it out, it's pretty cool on there.

I dislike Discord, Since I first came there (I followed my Danish Friend Bjorn there well, he's not from the hive but from Xat.com) I've seen the most horrid and obscure conversations of Disgusting anthropomorphic mating pictures and also Spongebob dark humor.... it's it's. Unpleasant for me. I still have an account there but I'd rather stay here. I don't care if it's better comparing to skype, Tungle or whatever gaming sites. I prefer skype or maybe here instead. or xat.

 

[Chaosy]

Discord is nice.
But not confident enough to speak English vocally though.

The best way to become confident is to practice! Don't be shy.

>Implying Hive rules aren't also enforced on Discord.

Naturally, anything weird (like pretty much anything you just described) would not be cool.

Give me a three more years in school and I'll consider it.

 

[somen00b]

Is there a way to delete my submissions to sc2 resources?

 

[Cherrymage]

One question -- not sure if I'm being paranoid or not -- what if my account was hacked or hijacked? What should I do?

 

[Ash]

The best thing you can do is be proactive instead of reactive. Start using reliable and vetted password managers (e.g. LastPass) and make sure you never use the same password elsewhere. Use two factor authentication in places that really matter (like your emails).

If the worst happens, and it shouldn't, just get in touch with us. We'll ask you to do a few things, but so long as you can we'll be able to get you back on board.

Has the site achieved its agenda?

Has the site achieved its agenda?

Are you still enjoying Warcraft?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Is there any link to Hive's "official" Discord channel?
Couldn't find one.
I hear that there is someone using my name there, I want to see that myself.

Here's the link Discord

There is an account (I think temporary guest account) named Shar Dundred which I've never seen used. It could be you if you clicked an invitation link and set a username long ago, or it could be someone else. I can remove it from the channel if you please.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Please remove it then.

 

[deepstrasz]

Are you still enjoying Warcraft?

You're supposed to answer not ask. Yes but that's besides the core point. You're extrapolating. Many people still enjoy Warcraft without the Hive. Also, you don't generalize one person's view.

I'm not a mind reader. Our agenda depends on whether or not users are still enjoying messing around with a game that's now over ten year old. So, to answer your question, yeah - it seems like we're doing quite well.

 

[Roland]

@knight85 This isn't the place to ask world-editor related questions... Find a suitable forum section for your question.

 

[Celaquil]

Let's stay on topic guys.

This thread is for asking the hive staff about hive stuff, site related stuff, and not for asking about the world editor.
We have an entire separate section for that, where you can make threads about it and ask to your hearts content.

Now, either take the discussion over to PMs (Personal Message) or to WEHZ (World Editor Help Zone), and please
don't continue it here. Thank you.

 

[knight85]

alright

i get the hint

 

[ShadowBladeX]

How do you use the tab code should it be a plain tab code, can it be only placed in spoiler, hidden or both, or is it a bug that I can't see the tab?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

How do you use the tab code should it be a plain tab code, can it be only placed in spoiler, hidden or both, or is it a bug that I can't see the tab?

I'm not quite sure of what you're asking, but here is the BBcode list: BB Codes | HIVE

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Check my signature in the spoiler I added tabs and /tabs before I saved it but now it looks like that

 

[Chaosy]

Because that's not a valid command.
[tab=x]xxxx[/tabs][/tab]

Though, I do think that worked in the old hive.

Unexpected tab 1

asdasda

This works though:

[tabs]
asdasda
[/tabs]


So, you can do something like:

Unexpected tab 1 asdasda

Unexpected tab 1 asdasda

Which is not as good, I admit.

 

[Ralle]

You can do the same by using

[tabs][tab][tabheader]rich[color=red]code[/color][/tabheader]my tab[/tab][/tabs]

Example:

richcode

my tab

 

[Chaosy]

Is it possible to make it work with [tab=title] as it was before? it's a bit annoying to have to use a third tag for the title.
I mean most other bb codes use the =string so it should be like that for more consistency?

I am not saying remove the tabheader tag, but you could make it work with both?

 

[Ralle]

It's actually more consistent now. You cannot put BB codes inside of other BB code open tags. You could ONLY do that for tags before and it was a major hack that people could abuse to break the site layout. You only have to use tabheader if you need advanced BB code.

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Maybe the tabs bb code only works on post coz everytime I save my changes in my signature when I check back only tab shows up

EDIT: Is there another update in the HIVES's bbcode if there is I would like to suggest a button which I saw in wc3c.net bbcode it does nothing but mixed with other codes. Example

[button=Hiveworkshop][url]hiveworkshop.com[/url][/button]

And another example

[button=ShadowBladeX]@ShadowBladeX[/button]

 

[Ralle]

What does the button do?

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Well it does nothing but when used together with other bbcodes-- just like hyperlinking

 

[Deleted member 219079]

He wants fancy links. Although I think it'd be better this way:

[url=google.com][button]Google[/button][/url]
-->


Mind me noting that doesn't even fully replicate the button effect: no hover or mouse down states. Also it doesn't fit with the other themes, oh wait..

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Yep, what he @jondrean said

 

[Ralle]

Ah, I see.
