Change log for Danbooru 1.17.0

By the way, are janitors allowed to invite users? It seems that the interface would allow me to, but I don't think albert ever explicitly gave us that privilege when he first created the janitor user level.

スラッシュ said: I have a suggestion for the mod queue, could we get some kind of indication whether a member is "Member" or "Privileged"?

I'd like this too. A "sort by user" mode would be pretty cool too.

If you have invites, use them. I had some unused ones a while back but they vanished when I was demodded and it looks like I don't even have access to that part of the interface now so if you do it must be for a reason.

I don't see a number of invites anywhere. I just appear to have an interface at http://danbooru.donmai.us/user/invites , though I haven't tried using it.

There's no limit on the number of invites anymore, since they're limited to mods and (apparently) janitors.

The exact limit can be read at http://danbooru.donmai.us/user/upload_limit and is probably subject to tweaking. But for the vast majority of new users, it's been reduced to 5.

It says the minimum score is 0. If a user hits that, then, aren't they permanently unable to upload any more? A minimum of 1 would be a little more merciful, if that's the case.

It needs a 0 or everyone would always have at least one more post. Also to get a permanent 0 upload you'd have to have a lot of failed images.

They'd have "one more post", but only every three days.

How many to get a permanent 0 depends on what rounding the system does. It might be 15 deleted and 4 approved (to nearest int) or 9 approved (rounding down). If you play with the numbers you can get more approved than deleted for those cases.

Because the limit is dynamic, if the cap was 1-20, nobody would ever "run out," since the minimum number of available posts would always be 1.

Ah. In that case let the minimum be 1 only when there are no pending posts.

5 + (212 / 10) - (173 / 3) - 0

Is... is there any way to have this permaNO relented? I mean, at least 1 upload once in a while, eh? Being grandfathered into this hurts my heart...

On average a third of your uploads are not approved.

Thats really terrible.

I actually think T5J8F8 has a point. He is an extreme case (173 deleted posts is awful), but unless we round up, any new user with 15 deletions and 9 good uploads is permanently banned from uploading. Even if they lurk and learn what was wrong with their first uploads, they'll never be able to post again. Are we okay with that?

I don't think the ban should ever be quite permanent. I do think it should eventually get to a long time between, as then even the worst uploaders would be able to do negligible damage. But totally shutting it off after one string of bad uploads is a bit much.

Plus, it would force people like me with looser definitions of quality to truly look at their images, and determine which are aesthetically best. Also, less joke uploads from those who don't not give a shit.

You could add in a "+DAYS/(DAYS + WAIT)" term, where DAYS is the number of days since their last upload and WAIT is the number of days they stay blocked (assuming the system rounds up).

So you pretty much upload without truly looking at the image, then when it finally bites you in the ass you go "please give me a second chance now I'll really look closely at my uploads! I swear!"

Amazing.

It's not like I'm begging, just bummed. I look at images, but my standards are different (heck, my massive amounts of faves, plenty just for "tag bookmarking" purposes, oughta attest to that).

Well, I'm not hating on you or anything; it's just a little...what's the word...hypocritical(?)when people decide to step up their game only after they realize that there's something more at stake than just their deleted post count.
