Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Ok, that one can't discuss whatever topics in private is one thing (an odd choice, but whatever).
But that "private" messages can just be read by Mods is *really* a little more than awkward I must say.Boytoy of the -Fan-Club
What? It's not my fault we don't get a good-aligned female paragon of promiscuity!
I heard Blue is the color of irony on the internet.
I once fought against a dozen people defending a lady - until the mods took me down in the end.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
All posts, PMs and reports in this forum end up in the same DB. Of course they can read them, if they want. That's what mod powers means.
None of which is particularly relevant, since the reason I won't send you a PM is because I won't knowingly break the rules, even if I don't expect to be caught.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
I'm wondering where Weirdo stands on the Dominion. They're literally and explicitly trying to conquer the galaxy because they were previously hunted, and what they control can't hurt them.
(There's essentially no chance of him having an answer that I would respect or consider any better than the other extreme, because such an answer would require an understanding of complexity he has seemingly taken pride in screaming that he does not possess. But I'm idly curious which of the two extreme positions he's capable of holding is the one he comes down on there. I'm guessing he tosses them in with the Cardassians, because he didn't see the Founders be victimized on-camera.)Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Sure. And, as I said, he gets to do as he sees fit to the Empire. And everyone under his yolk gets to do as they see fit to him and his.
The humans didn't victimize the Founders, so the Founders are fair game. Besides, they're imperialists. All empires - say, in fiction - are evil.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Oh, I don't ask or want you to circumvent forum rules.
If it's forbidden, it is sadly forbidden and I won't get any wise, unfortunately.
It just weirds me out that private messages are not private. I find that disturbing.
I thought databases had encryptions so that mods/admins could delete stuff or for example *reset* passwords, but not, for example, *read* those passwords.Boytoy of the -Fan-Club

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
He might be morally superior to Palpatine, but not to almost anyone else in the movies.
I think it's safe to say that Piett or Jerjerrod, are better people than Jabba.Last edited by hamishspence; 2019-05-03 at 01:04 PM.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Passwords are (hopefully) both encrypted and salted. But those operations are horrendouly expensive computationally. Worth it for a string of between 6 and, say, a couple hundred characters, and a volume of 1/member. Completely unfeasible for PMs that could be tens of thousands of characters long, and literally hundreds per user.
Also, the mods have said that if asked to investigate a PM, they do request permission from the person asking before they read the PMs (they do need to verify the PM exists). So while they have the power, the mods here are choosing to be mindful of your privacy - they have the power, and choose not to use it.
ETA: also, you should be aware that the password encryption is non-reversible. Once encrypted, nothing can un-encrypt it. That's why passwords can't be sent back to you and have to be reset if you forget. Very secure, but not terribly useful to anything you'd want to be able to read after you've first created it.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
Jabba's oppression of his slaves is as brutal as the Empire's oppression of it's slaves - it is just on a smaller scale.

Re: OOTS #1162 - The Discussion Thread
You don't need to "shed tears" to acknowledge that there's a scale, and the ordinary people who work for the Empire and who don't know just how evil it is - are better people than the Jabbas of that universe.
