Actual Complaints

*clears throat*
when you make a new poll it says- PEE Poll: instead of- PEEL Poll: and it makes me sick 

[Reply #361 on:]

Just as the double s in "Disscussion" that is a tradition and won't be changed.
I think it was even changed to that by request from a Peeler (Velur Fog I think to remember) way ago.

Take a look at this

The star ranking system - how does it work ? Is it based on number of posts ?

I usually post carefully thought and usually substantial stuff, not many small one-word posts. As a result I am still Zoidberg's peer while others are already professors. I thought a better ranking system would be on word count (but that can be fooled by quoting a large post of course). Just food for thought... In fact I don't really care whether I am poppler or Space Pope as long as I can discuss what I want to.. Keep up the good work!

[Reply #364 on:]

For anything you could possibly know about PEEL (including ranks), check here.

Cutting down on ignorance. One slice at a time.

Many thanks - hey you people spend LOTS of time and effort on this Board - too bad I don't have that much time... but I'll do my best. I am just discovering now that this Board is a lot larger than I thought 
I am sure PEEL has its hand in Futurama's return big time !

[Reply #366 on:]

They're all lying to you Fry_B.  The answers are actually held within the chatroom, aka #futuramachat, aka #fc, aka THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND!  Anyways... the real people don't actually look at post count, and anyone who has more than 500 posts in a year is considered a spammer.  You'll do fine, and won't be banned like those professors, besides I hate those people anyways.

It is said that from Starship Captain you can declare stuff.. Sorry but I could not find WHERE you declare these things - do the fields appear in your profile once you reach those ranks ?

Thanks

Generally, the rank thread is used for such things, although some people just use the test thread.

No, but I suppose you could put it under intrests if you like.  There's probably enough room there.

Some people list such things in their signatures, but if you do so, keep in mind that long signatures can be annoying if posted frequently, so use it sparingly.

 

Thanks

No problem.

Does anyone moderate the fan art section anymore? There was a thread that went over 21 pages and people kept talking. Also are threads like "Should I do....or not?" threads allowed?

[Reply #371 on:]

^ Also, there's more random anime/ computer game art in there than there is actual Futurama stuff. Haven't seen Kryten in ages /:

*shrugs* I'm sure the fanart community will pick back up when the new episodes appear, just a bit slow at the moment.

[Reply #372 on:]

Yeah and theres some fan fiction going on that isn't futurama related at all. Where is Kryten?

[Reply #373 on:]

I haven't seen him in months. Bart182 seems to be busy with other stuff as well and Trippy's visit a month ago only seemed to be rather short. That leaves Velour, Nix and Tweek for the job. Though most of the time the male mods of these three are seen "cleaning". Neither of them really cares about FanFiction though. 

Main problem in my eyes isn't that we have too few mods however. That 21 pages thread should have been simply stopped to be used by the people posting in it. Same as that "gibberish" thread in the Re-/Checked Weird Scenes. Instead they felt pleasure to fill it up. 

[Reply #374 on:]

I agree GFF, but you can't just go and say stop posting, because not only is it just adding on to the 21 page thread, but the ones who don't know the rules don't know any better. And if we can't actually stop the threads and more gibberish waste is gonna pile up.

[Reply #375 on:]

If you think a thread needs closing pop in to the chat room, if I'm there I'll be happy to look in to the problem.

[Reply #376 on:]

you should change the webbi name dudes but still a good web site

[Reply #377 on:]

Nicky. What we just tried to teach you in the chat room will be handled even stricter here. Please type in proper words and don't use your fst-talk (that should be a fast, not a fist... though some might want to use it) like you call it. Reason for that is: You have all the time in the world to type here, you are not in a hurry and pressing just few keys more won't hurt.

Now for your incomprehensible question:
If we understood you correctly, you meant the "webpage" as "webbi".
I don't know your knowledge on internet technology, but you can't just change a Domain like you would change your nickname in a chatroom.
Beside the fact that both "peelified.com" and "gotfuturama.com" have been like that for years and that the whole community of Futuramafans around the world knows and recognizes these domains, changing it mostly involves registering new domain names. Not only does that cost a lot of money, but also needs quite some time to do.

As for your "good" critic. I am fairly sure the owners and writers of CGEF will appreciate it, though at the same time I think they already know, since it is considered to be the best and biggest Fan-Page there is.

Thanks for your input, but I think we'll stay with the name and URL that have served us well in the past 5 years, if that's allright with you.

[Reply #379 on:]

cheers mate but how do you get stars

[Reply #380 on:]

Clickity-click

[Reply #381 on:]

is a post on your profile something when the person leaves a comment. if so how do you read it

[Reply #382 on:]

The post count on your profile just says how many posts you have made on the whole messageboard. There is no system such as personal comments or mail implemented on PEEL.

[Reply #383 on:]

thanks

[Reply #384 on:]

Ok my internet is a bit shit and it won't work so i'll adress this issue in here so maybe someone else can do it.

Can someone please press the alert button on Nicky Boy? His posts are irrelivant and don't make any sense. I just found one that said "sasasssafgd"

C'mon........

[Reply #385 on:]

calm down im new and i really want to increase my rank so sorry rover guy and i am only 12 so calm it down  dude

[Reply #386 on:]

@ Nicky Boy, technichally, being 12 makes no difference, I'm 13, and know 5 other PEELers (2 of which never post) who are 12 too, and although they have the occasional spam, they seem to errrm... not spam so much as you, so if you don't want people complaining about you, then please could you stop spamming as much?

[Reply #387 on:]

Plus, if you want to increase your respect then increase your posts the proper way, with proper posts.

[Reply #388 on:]

sorry guys, plus to everyone who hates me. bye

[Reply #389 on:]

You don't have to go, just try to put some thought in to your posts and don't just post for the sake of it.

[Reply #390 on:]

ok then,thanks.

[Reply #391 on:]

Dammit Tweek.

Bumping an old thread because I have a question.

I know it's really annoying when people post old threads, but if I have something to add to the thread, will I get crap for bumping it? Because otherwise I guess the only other solution would be to make a new thread for it, but if I was to make a new thread, I also don't want to get crap for making a thread when there's already a topic on it. I.E. "There's already a thread on this!" Should I just not post in that thread then?

[Reply #393 on:]

^ As I understand it, current forum policy is:

"If a bunch of people you've never seen post (and are now all inactive anyway) talked about a paticular Futurama subject 4 years ago, then the subject is deemed as 'already discussed', and it is utterly forbidden for anyone else to comment on the subject ever again"

Pretty much why I never bothered with OnTopic discussion when I joined - it was impossible to actually talk about a particular episode or whatever without the thread being locked, so you're left with random games and things that somehow keep the Futurama discussion forum active without the need to actually discuss Futurama.

Enjoy :P

[Reply #394 on:]

Use old threads if you have something to contribute.

Contributing in this case does not include such posts as "LOL I agree," "OMG UR RITE," "That's what I think lmao," or that sort of thing.

[Reply #395 on:]

Flood-control tends to block some of my posts.  what is it and why does it activate?

[Reply #396 on:]

The flood control is there to prevent - surprise - flooding. 

It atomatically activates after every post you make and stays on for 90 seconds. That means you have to wait 90 seconds to post again.

Not unless you have one of these baby's



Even then it is still sometimes frowned upon

[Reply #398 on:]

Whenever I try get on peel at school the screen doesn't scroll up and actually scrolls all the way down. Is this a peel problem or is it just my stupid computer?

[Reply #399 on:]

I think it's the computer, eh, probably 50/50.

Also, I can't get chat to work. Ever. It says ping timeout, is there anything I can do?
