I had 61 alerts once, all either status update likes or status update comments. I think @Slash went through every one of my updates and liked them to mess with my head or something.

Did I do that? :sly:

I've woken up to several hundred before.
 
How many notifications do mods typically wake up in the morning and/or get home in the evening to find? What's the most that any of the mods can remember finding? I'm particularly interested as to what this is like for Jordan and Famine.

I'm asking this because I know that sometimes the number of notifications I find can get a little ridiculous, particularly if I post something which a lot of users "like" or reply to, and I'm just a mere lowly troll poor person non-premium user whom nobody really cares about.

I have a screenshot of 507 - I think it got a big higher before I checked it. This was a day or two after the Suggestion forum went live, and I was smart opportunistic enough to suggest the E30, along with two track suggestions. Between likes, quotes, and the usual daily stuff (probably about 20 or so if I'm being active), it was actually quite a pain, because I missed out on @'s for things I needed to deal with in the Photomode section.

I'll redirect the attention: how many times has Jordan had to undo a ban/infraction/stern warning from a mod?

If a staff member isn't quite sure about a particular action, they tend to bring it up with the rest, and we discuss it. I can't personally recollect a specific instance where one person has just went straight to undoing another's move.

One occassion comes to mind - other than April Fool's Day 2005 - but not on my watch. Since infractions aren't up for public discussion, there's not much point in mentioning it. I will say it was not someone even remotely close to being banned (nor a returning member).

I can think of an occassion or two whereby a new-ish poster was caught up by the spam filter, and Jordan had to rescue him out from a ban.

We made a previously banned member a mod, but just for forty-eight hours. This member, despite his past, could point out the ringleader of a spamming brigade, and after we'd banned the lot of him, demoted and banned the helpful one.

They made a movie about it...I think it was called Two Days.

(It wouldn't be right to divulge that information about a user, even if it was true, and if it had happened before.)
 
Right, this is a half mod half general site thing, but I suppose you'd be the ones answering it wherever it goes.

If a member makes the most horrific, terrible and shamelessly AUP violating post, and then another member likes it, will the latter member get any kind of warning or talking to?

I'm not talking about an infraction worthy post BTW, i'm thinking more of the most disgraceful foul-mouthed rant you could imagine.

...that had to be the most saddest attempt at a hardcore sting operation I've ever read on an internet forum. Thanks for the laughs 👍
 
Is there some way that a person could contact the staff if they'd been blocked from the site by an outside source?

I'll explain: if GTP had been blocked by the Chinese government while I was there would there be a way to contact the staff to explain the situation instead of people assuming I had been killed in a nasty road accident?
 
Facebook. Erh. If it weren't blocked. Or e-mail... which may be scanned, but at least isn't blocked.
