Spells Section Purge in Effect

[PurplePoot]

The spells section purge mentioned in several threads is now in effect and will end on Friday, August 21, 2009 (all unconfirmed spells will be automatically deleted).

If you check one of your spells, you should see text stating that we need to get rid of the multitude of broken spells and to press "Keep my spell" if your spell works in 1.24 and complies to the new rules. Just press it if it does both of those things.

Please be careful when you are doing so to make sure that it does comply to the new rules, as several major things have changed since before the patch.

I wonder if people will make the same systems again :/ because they're really useful...

 

[redmarine]

This was only a matter of time. Perhaps we could instead move them to a pre-1.24 category? It would perhaps be an idea if people could try to salvage those systems over time by making them 1.24 compatible.

 

[PurplePoot]

Seeing as we don't allow submission of others' resources, that wouldn't really work anyways. Why not just rewrite them from scratch (in which case old copies aren't necessary anyhow)?

Did this affect to auto log in? Because when I came to hive I wasnt logged in as usually? Or then somebody knows my password...

ahaha thats what i was thinking

Eh eh eh? What.

 

[Just_Spectating]

my acct wasn't logged in and recently my AIM account got hacked so i was afraid this one got hacked as well.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Some random guy added me to msn and asked to test "Wc3 custom kick", but it fucked up my pc and I just rebooted and found that I was not logged in Hive so of course I first think that I got hacked...

Off-topic D:

Yeah he also tried to get my to test it but I denied. Although I still experienced the log off.

 

[PurplePoot]

No, the mass logout was because Ralle renamed the site cookies.

 

[-Berz-]

*off topic

Yeah, my fire fox freezed

This should be done some time ago, it was a total mess.
Now we just need some fresh moderators to run it

 

[Latecat]

Damn i so hate 1.24, it ruins every good map there is D:

Other than that, i think the map section could be purged a lil bit aswell from the not-working maps.

 

[Pyritie]

No, the mass logout was because Ralle renamed the site cookies.

He renamed them from bbsessionhash to thwsessionhash (for example) because apparently they were doing something to the forum styles.

I don't know. :0

 

[Thanathos]

I have a questions that bothered me for some time and is related to this topic....or maybe not s:
What did actually happen that we have about 1000 pending spells ? I mean they were not submitted all at the same time....or were they ?!

 

[PurplePoot]

There were no spell moderators for a long time.

 

[Deolrin]

Yay! Finally the purge!

 

[DoOs_101]

Shuld be a purge on the maps section too.

 

[Rmx]

Finnaly The PURGE !, all my spells and spellpacks are compatible with 1.24 because they are in GUI and does not use H2I whatsoever

 

[Thanathos]

By the way..how does the purge delete the spells ? Spellmakers can (soft) delete their own spells but that means the spells are not gone completely. The spell thread still exists, it is just not visible to the public. So does the purge remove the spells completely or is it just a soft delete ?

 

[PurplePoot]

Don't take my word for this, but I think it's a permanent wipe. You'd have to ask Ralle to be sure.

 

[-Berz-]

But older approved spells will stay, right?

Because there are some really useful old spells there and their creators are inactive for a long time.

It would be good if someone would manage that matter.

 

[PurplePoot]

No, because 99% of them break the rules or don't work with the new patch or both, and we can't afford to spend the time to go through thousands of spells for the sake of a few good ones.

If you want them back, remake them.

 

[Latecat]

PP has spoken.

I think the best ones (peoples choice) should be re-uploaded as fixed to work with newest patch.
Like said already, the problem is - inactivity.

And i dont recommend stealing either, making the problem pretty big.
What i recommend is to somehow contact the creators by someway and ask them to fix them to work with newest patch, but that would be pretty bad idea when i think of it more deeply.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

When will 1.24b be released, and can you give a link to the place where Blizzard tells you?

 

[Latecat]

1.24 was already released.

 

[Rmx]

1.24 was already released.

Yes it was, plz don't stay off-topic.

 

[Latecat]

I was just answering the question he asked.
Speaking of that question, there even was a announcement of it before this one.
Anyway, back on-topic

When some spells gets removed, does the posts also go off (as in off post count - permanetly)?

 

[Deaod]

I was just answering the question he asked.

No, you werent. Read his post again and this time pay special attention to the version number he asked for.

 

[Latecat]

Good point, but can we now get back on topic? please?

 

[maskedpoptart]

I'm willing to remake good old spells/systems from scratch, but I need some idea of what the old stuff did. Maybe we can save the top 100 spells (that would be purged) in a separate section such that people know what needs to be remade.

 

[PurplePoot]

If you don't know what they are, it doesn't seem that they desperately need to be remade, does it?

 

[busterkomo]

When is this going to happen?

 

[Deuterium]

So? I don't see anything getting purged...

 

[Thanathos]

Me too. I can even click the 'Keep My Spell' link for some of my spells.

 

[Paladon]

The purge is done as it seems.

We had 1073 pending spells, now are just 149 left.
It should come easier for the 3 moderators to review these now.

 

[-Berz-]

Yeah I noticed that too, looks nicer now

 

[Deuterium]

HAHAHA WOW! only 14 pages!

EDIT:

But one thing that should be happening now, every rejected spell gets X days to be updated otherwise deleted. This should really be applied this time. And oh, maybe the mods could be a bit more active, otherwise admins should think of recruiting an active mod...

 

[DoOs_101]

You should really add more moderators in the maps section. There are a handful of maps that work in 1.24 and are really good maps yet not reviewed by any moderators.

 

[Deuterium]

Hehehe i think this conversation here is about the spells section and not the maps section

Spells Section Purge in Effect

 

[MortAr]

Hm, I was just wondering, what if some peoples are so naive to click on the link that will hold their map/spell even if their spell/map is not compatible with the 1.24 patch?

 

[baassee]

Didnt had the chance to click on keep my spells so lost them all

Can reupload them right?

Found the click links below deleted lawl ... nvm

 

[PurplePoot]

Then they're probably be negged or something. I don't know. It did its job anyhow.

 

[Deuterium]

Hm, I was just wondering, what if some peoples are so naive to click on the link that will hold their map/spell even if their spell/map is not compatible with the 1.24 patch?

Well anyone naive enough to do so would have his spell most probably pending... and thus rejected once checked by the mods...

Otherwise, well, the users would be reporting spells that aren't 1.24 compatible once they test it (hopefully )
