Actually i prefered to remove the persons voice, so s/he can see everything that is going on, but only i can see what s/he types... I see your point!

As for the 'basics of botting', that relates to a program that was used frequently on a download site chat room. Using this program, one could open a 'chat room' and be the dictator of who could talk, kick peolple out, ban people etc, anyway, this 'bot' was a seperate program whom entered the room as an entity. you could program this bot to look for certain things like swearing etc and post a pre-determined reply that would kick, ban or just warn the user. After a while, the programmers got clever and started creating games you could play etc. this resulted in alot of people wanting to know 'how' to program these bots, hence the website i started. ( i was quite good in this field if i do say so myself!) Unfortunatly just as it was getting going, the download program's servers were shut down and the program went underground. I stopped work on the website and left the program where it was. Since then i hear the community has built right back up because of a few patches that were released, but i no longer have any interest. I still frequent the forum on the bots developers website, but i dont do much programming now. The bots program was named 'Metis'. Better answer?

Well, without going into too much detail, my relations have the name Doyle, so the Mrs Doyle quote was quite apt!

lol, i forgot all about that! i havent been on there for ages, except to upload a few pics.

Hmmmmn, do you know me stu? Thats a freaky co-incidence if you dont!

"PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTT!!!!!!" I think NOT!

i dunno...theres some truth in there somewhere....

Thankyou! You must realise, i do have a life and a full time job to see to...as well as this site. We do try you know!

Mongo will be back tommorrow, so long as he behaves and as for me shoving my moderation down his neck, he only has himself to blame for the attention.... however, i am the mod thats on his side, and lets his posts thru (although moderated) so he can have his say....

I'm gonna tell you all my side now, just so its on the reacord. Mongo was warned many times about his posts before i became a 'led by' on this board. when i took on the position, he, as well as others, were told they had a clean slate as far as i was concerned, and that i would act on their actions from that day forth. Let me just say now that mongo, 70-80% of the time, is a worthy member of this forum, and has on many occasions posted content that has helped this site move on in a positive way. the trouble is the other 20-30%. when he consistantly ignores the warnings given by myself, missvic, and threegee, to settle down and watch his posts. The other night i moderated a 50-50 post of his. Perhaps in hindsight i would have let it go, but it was a blatant insult, and i stand by my desicion. i then went to spend time with my family, returning to the board about an hour later. i had a message that he was offended by a post, and he wanted it removed. as i actioned this request he sent another message saying he wanted his account and all his postrs deleted. i tried to reason with him, telling him the reasons why he was moderated, and what was being done about the post he complained about. whilst this negotionation took place he edited several of his posts to read something along the lines on 'delete my account, my posts and all the content i have posted here because i dont want to be part of a bias forum' Had he sent this as a new reply, i would have let it slide, and probably have approved the post, but because he was re-editing previously moderated posts, i had to suspend his account. Please be clear. i am not two faced, i am, so far as possible, reasonable, and i do not bear grudges. i am actually really disapointed in the action mongo forced me to take. Please also be clear, this is the last time i will explain my judgement... i hope form this explanation, you can see where i was coming from, and a base of trust be formed from that decision. I am not here to bully or harass anyone, but creating topics with unacceptible language WILL result in you being put on moderator preview. Editing previously moderated posts WILL mean your account will be suspended, and making my life as a moderator WILL mean your more closely watched than the rest of the group.And finally posting posts with unacceptible language will be moderated. continual abuse will result, like mongo, in ALL your posts being pre-moderated. I hope you can see where i'm coming from here, and that my judgement shall not be brought into question again publicly. The PM feature is there for such enquiries. Regards, Mr Darn

I'm not sure wether you can read this, but your actions have made it impossible for me to take any other action. i know you have a second account here, so i'm assuming you are using that to read this. your complaint was delt with, and the reasons explained to you. the action was taken because you ignored the previous warnings you were given. I am sorry you have forced me to take this action as i have always been in your corner as much as possible. The same action will be taken for anyone who re-edits moderated posts, in the same order of warnings. I do hope you can calm down enough to resolve any issues you have with the board, the board members and its moderators. The action will remain until i can speak to Threegee/Fourgee about future moderating practices. I again appologise for this getting so far out of hand. Regards, Mr Darn.

Like you stick to your recomended alcohol level intake! (i know i dont!) The thing is, once the smell of the cigarettes have gone, what smell will be left? cigarette smoke hides a multitude of sins....

dosn't the swan do B+B? (between bedlington and choppington over the railway lines) also, the bedlington terrier pub used to do B+B too once...no more?

Naaaa, i'd prefer a pint in a smoke free enviroment ta! Well, till they ban alcohol too...

Not be long now! i think we should all get a scaled down fire extinguisher to carry around, so we can blast a wave of water at anyone that sparks up! just for a laugh!

Not a clue. i split the topic because it was in talk of the town and went way off topic, however i aint going back thru all the topics ever posted, so i'll just catch them up as they get revived. how it got back to the top of the forum? i dunno, i just saw the post saying 'whats this doing here'!

Right, thats my head twice the size it should be! Good to know i aint upsetting too many of you, and as one or two of you know i can be reasoned with if i get the wrong end of the stick. Thanks all! Topic Closed.

i dunno if i'm the only one, but has anyone else noticed how dead this forum has become? i was talking to barlass tonight and she says she wont be back for the forseable future, so i ask this question... is it me? coz if it is, i'll gladly relinquish my moderating rights and return to being a regular of the board. Whilst i hope this isnt the case, i would hope the old regular posters will at least pm me with their board problems, if not make their own topic, as i think the old flow of the board made the forum what it was!. Thats one of the reasons i dont delete posts,and rather keep the main point of the origional post as much as i can. Anyways, i do hope if any of you have a problem with me, you will get in touch either via PM or on the board, as i'd hate to be the death of www.bedlington.co.uk! Regards, Mr Darn

Good, i like a debate ! So why are you not kicking off about the ban in pubs? i dont see why someone should be exempt from the ban just because they are locked up ! I was a smoker myself once, and i actually dont agree totally with the ban, however, being in prison should be a punishment, not a play area. I am certainly not afraid of going to jail. as i said, i know people who get themselves put away simply because their life in jail is better than on the outside. Thats not good. Maybe if they knew they couldnt smoke/drink/take drugs/play playstations/get 5 course meals cooked by jamie oliver etc etc it would be a detterent. This is my point. if jail was feared, you wouldnt miss paying your fines. if you feared jail, you wouldnt miss a court date. i dont mean just the smoking issue, i mean the whole jail experience. to reitterate my previous point:JAIL SHOULD BE A PUNISHMENT and under no circumstances should they be allowed to do things normal law abiding citizens cant. if you go to jail with a heroin adiction your put on a methadone course. if you go in as an alcohilic your refused alcohol, or weined off it in extream cases. If you go in as a smoker? your given tobbacco! Go Figure! Those inmates that smoke should be put on NRT. anyone found dealing in banned substances should be soliterized. then maybe the jails wouldnt fill up so quick coz people actually dont want to go there!

i cant believe fags are more addictive than heroin, but i may be wrong. I'm sorry, but this is my view as an individual, and this comment does not reflect the viewsd of www.bedlington.co.uk, its administrators or the owner: If your sentanced to a prison sentance, you did something bad. In the old days, you got a cell and bread with water. we really need to go back to that, if only to make jail a bad place to be in. all this 'playstatio' and 'sky tv' cr@p is just going too far. their not there for a cushy life, their there to pay their debt to society. what we need is a big building with 7ft by4ft rooms, a bed, toilet and wash basin in them and 2 hours a day in the fresh air. none of this jamie oliver cr@p, or human rights b******t. there in there to do time, and so far as possible they should be secragated from all human contact other than their jailor. then maybe these cut sentances from life to 10 years may feel a little more than a vacation. i used to be a security guard (i cant say where coz of ASDA's strict security policy). i helped arrest at least 40 people who just wanted to go back to jail, coz life in there was easier than life outside. you really think jail is a deterrant these days? or is it an incentive?

I've just been informed that it was in the papers in the last few weeks: prisioners are the only ones exempt as it will infringe their human rights. is this true? if so i think its an outrage!

Them were the days!

Thats not a bad point... although they are allowed outside, will they stop the smoking in there? and what will they do if they disobey? send them to jail?

Thats what it is now...yes

http://www.diggerland.com is a good day out too apparently
