Hello Hello, I have joined this community because I think it is a very nice, moral-driven community and thought that I should join it. I am certainly not a noob to wii homebrew in anyway. I know a lot about general homebrew hacking, trouble shooting, and how the internals of the wii work. I can help many people on many subjects. However, my weakness is coding. I currently have about enough knowledge to make a "Hello World" app in c++. I have been in the wii homebrewing community for quite a while and would like to help as many people here as possible. I was thinking about joining gbatemp but very quickly realized that it was mainly about stupid usb loaders and piracy. I did not want to be a part of anything that supports piracy. Then i stumbled onto the wiibrew forums. It was exactly what i wanted!!!! Therefore, I wanted to introduce myself to this wonderful community and would like to say thank you for making this helpful forum. I would love to help as many people as possible.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28751#msg-28751Tue, 11 Aug 2026 06:47:30 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,29060#msg-29060 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,29060#msg-29060

Dunno. I'm not an admin. But I do know they can easily retrieve them.]]> Arikado OfftopicFri, 14 Aug 2009 21:33:08 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,29054#msg-29054 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,29054#msg-29054

If you don't mind could you please explain to me what the difference is between admin and moderators?
Moderators:
-Lock/Reopen Topics
-Move Topics
-Split/Merge Topics
-Sticky/Unsticky Topics
-View IP Addresses
-Delete Posts or Topics
-Edit Posts (except for those made by other moderators and admins)
-Approve or delete unapproved messages (spam, BootMii beta posts, reported posts)

Admins
-Everything moderators can do
-View private messages of users
-Access to the database (means they can view passwords)
-Change user permission levels (they can ban you from a single or all sections of the forum - they can make you a moderator for one or all sections of the forum)
-Access to the phorum software (so they're the ones you bitch to about e-mail not working)
-Delete/Disable user accounts from working
-Ban IP Addresses, E-mail Addresses, or User Names from registering and/or viewing the forum

Also, what happened to Tona?
Nothing. He's still logged into #wiidev He'll still have a nice long conversation with you if that's what you're looking for. He stopped being heavily involved in the forum because he needed more time to focus on his school work. I thought (and so did he at one point) he'd be more active on the forum again this summer, but apparently not.

If I see a place where we'd benefit from some posting contribution from him, I'll /msg him. I'll also /msg him if I need someone banned. And every now and then I /msg him just to talk.

Again, feel free to ask me more questions.]]> Arikado OfftopicFri, 14 Aug 2009 16:34:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28940#msg-28940 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28940#msg-28940 TopGun96 OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 23:46:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28938#msg-28938 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28938#msg-28938

Did you ban z400100500? lol he was funny.

I guess he came back under the name JellyCorona :-)
TheMadHatterZ may be a pseudonym of him too....]]> daniel_c_w OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 23:40:03 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28931#msg-28931 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28931#msg-28931 SifJar OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 22:34:19 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28924#msg-28924 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28924#msg-28924Also, what happened to Tona?]]> TopGun96 OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 22:19:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28918#msg-28918 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28918#msg-28918

is it a permanent ban for those things that you listed (offtopic behavior ect.) or only for a set amount of time?
If I were an admin (and when tona used to be active) it would've been a temporary ban for a month (and then a permanent one if such behavior continued). But since I'm not and the admins are too busy developing hacks to bother with the forum very much anymore, it's now a permanent ban (but I'll always warn users a lot before it has to come to that).]]> Arikado OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 21:59:26 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28912#msg-28912 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28912#msg-28912
Also i have been watching these forums for a little over 6 months (but never had the time to join) and i do remember seeing those offenders that you listed. I must agree with Arikado's decision on those users as they did seem like they only wanted to waste time. (did you see z400100500's list of things he got banned from?!?!?! It's huge! :P)]]> TopGun96 OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 21:44:49 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28885#msg-28885 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28885#msg-28885

One question (probably for Arikado): I have read all the rules and everything but i was wondering what else could you get banned for? Are there repeat minor offenses for something not listed that could get me banned?
If you're banned, you're completely prevented from using the forum because multiple moderators and administrators have unanimously decided that the forum is better off without you.

That simple definition can be extended to mean a lot of things. If you're like z400100500/ThemadhatterZ/JellyCorona and you do nothing but waste time, server space, and severely annoy members of administration and other users, then you will be banned because, as stated in the definition above, the forum is better off without you. Granted, cases like what was described in this paragraph is extremely rare and only happen over long periods of time.

And of course, if you spam, advertise, or degrade the forum and it's user base - you are very likely to be banned as that sort of thing is entirely unnecessary.

Please feel free to ask me more questions.

And welcome to the forum :-)]]> Arikado OfftopicThu, 13 Aug 2009 17:54:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28767#msg-28767 Re: Hellohttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,28751,28767#msg-28767
