Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    Where did I say I was taking a test? I'm writing an essay, which I really hate doing, so I use tpt as a distraction. I think he posted here because he already sent Simon a convo (to say that), and wanted to answer the things I wasn't sure about. And I actually didn't know moderators could read convos, make because I just tested with convo id 1, that doesn't exist. Also, I will still respond to questions on this save as long as i'm still playing tpt, I read comments on all my saves every once in a while.

    Oh, did you take over this messageing room now that jacob1 has to take a test. (Complicated) ummm, I guess that makes sense.

    cj646464: I prefer not to give too much detail, particularly in public. If someone knows exactly what moderators can see, it's easier for them to avoid detection when breaking rules. Assume that moderators can see enough to catch most people, and Simon can see enough to catch the rest.

    Wow, can you see if people get different accounts but on different emails or can you only see if they're from the same email address.

    I already sent a message to Simon about it (https://powdertoy.co.uk/Conversations/View.html?ConvID=9303, for any interested moderators). Simon hasn't been on IRC today, he's probably busy with other things. Votes from permanently banned accounts do get removed, but only when Simon does something called "purging the vote cache". That only tends to be done in severe cases of multiple account voting, such as this one (6 accounts).

    I started a conversation with him asking if he can reset them.

    I can't reset votes, it's not my server, it's Simon's. it's possible the person who banned the downvoters already messaged Simon about it, I I would still message him just in case.

    The person that did it, and all the accounts, were banned already. I'll ask Simon if the votes get automatically removed, I thought they were but maybe not. And I actually can't ask this weekend, but even after that he is rarely here. Maybe just try sending a pm (conversation) to Simon, and ask for them to be removed, because apparent;y they aren't. Also, you can re-publish the saves, since the person was already banned. When multiple accounts are used, it sends a message to all the moderators on a secret irc channel, so they find out instantly and ban the people.

    I locked all of them but the vote bar needs to be set back to yesterday becuase exactly 5 votes were lost from all of my saves. And find out who did it.
