Demonland

Please keep politics out of the footy threads.

Got it back. Not sure why it was taken off.

Of course any big announcements or news (such as the passing of Jimmy Stynes) are big days on Demonland.

Possibly something that was taken away during the software update. I'll check in the settings. It wasn't something that I removed so if it is gone they might have taken it away intentionally.

I hope @Supermercado is keeping a tally of books ordered as a direct result of this podcast and that Demonland gets a cut. ?

I've been posting on this platform for 16 years and I will still need to more than double my post count to make the next level of Captain. I tip my hat to anyone who makes it to the Premier level without being banned for spamming.

Traditionally Draft Night (and the following day), particularly when we have picks in the Top 10 are our biggest days. Trade week is also a very busy time particularly if we are landing a big fish or offloading someone. Post game is when we've traditionally had issues with the integrity of the server load because so many people are jumping on all at once. Thank you to all the monetary contributors to Demonland who have assisted us over the years. It has allowed us to beef up the computing power of the hamsters running the wheels that keep us online after a loss to a bottom 8 team.

In my experience winning brings in more people to the site in general. Losing has less people (the diehards/tragics) on the site for longer periods drowning their sorrows.

Disaster for me as that means due to a family function and a wedding I cannot watch the GC game or go to the Bulldogs game. Devo.

I’m pretty sure that measurement is broken. It’s a third party app and not an official part of the site software. After most games we usually hit about 1000 plus people on at one time.

It's only for Desktop but I don't think it was ever visible on mobile which attempts to save as much screen real estate as possible by its very nature. If on mobile and you want to know a posters reputation by their points and post amounts then you just have to click on their name.

The thread pertaining to his trade was one of the busiest threads on Demonland for a while and still gets a bump every now again.

Got reputations back.

I tend to agree but the reason it was brought in was that so people who made posts that made people laugh in a facepalm manner weren't credited with "reputation" in the same way someone who posted something genuinely funny was. Granted I could just make it so that the laugh reaction gets no points at all but I also wanted to differentiate between the joke and the butt of the joke.

Does this fall under the Facepalm emoji?

That's where the reputation points come in. The software allows for negative reputation points but I thought that could be used in a mean spirited way despite some posts being deserving of it.

I will see if banned posters can be labelled with it.?

Reputation can be found in a user's profile or by moving your mouse over their name when on a desktop. Not sure why it's been removed from the place under the name and there doesn't appear to be a way to get this back in the settings. There may be a third party app at some point that someone creates that will bring this back and I will keep an eye out for it.

FYI I don't believe anyone has achieved the ranks of Captain, Coach, Fuschia or Premier. Also ranks based on post count don't necessarily mean anything.

The ranks have always been there but in text form and just relate to the number of posts you have made. The new software update has turned that text to a badge. I've added images to the default badge that the software applied and have tweaked and added to the names of each rank. Rookie Demon: 0 - 49 posts Demon: 50 - 499 posts Mighty Demon: 500 - 999 posts Redleg: 1000 - 4999 posts Trident: 5000 - 9999 posts Legend: 10000 - 49999 posts Captain: 50000 - 99999 posts Coach: 100000 - 499999 posts Fuchsia: 500000 - 999999 posts Premier: 1000000 + posts I'm not sure what has happened to the community ticks which was actually called reputation which was based on the Likes & Thanks reactions a poster received. I will check into it.

Didn't see this until well after the show. You should have jumped in the chat room to ask. My answer: It's a strong possibility. I'm worried.
