Welsh Conservatives lose vote to scrap 20mph default speed limit
  • England, Hampshire. I certainly concede that it's relatively unusual, but I see it frequently enough that it hadn't occurred to me that enforcement in 20mph zones was any more or less frequent than in 30mph zones - think it's pretty clear that due to budgetary constraints enforcement is lacking in all areas, not just traffic enforcement.

  • Here's the thing about absolute statements: they only need a single counter-example to be falsified. There's a 20mph road about 200m from my front door. There's a police speed trap there roughly once a month. You are talking bollocks.

    Ranger Bug?
  • Completely agree - I was responding to someone who expressed surprised at anyone playing Ranger at all. The Gloomstalker build is certainly overshadowed by the swords bard build, but it's still a very strong build and perfectly viable in tactician - as you know, it just isn't that tough. And while swords bard is stronger, it too is overshadowed by Sorlock EB rider-stacking builds which are in turn completely ec;lipsed by simple tavern brawler zerker throw builds.

    All I was saying is that it's not completely unreasonable for someone to play Ranger and while it's certainly not the best it's still a very strong build and perfectly capable of destroying tactician.

    Why are there points of no return?
  • So long as you don't progress past the Mountain Pass into the Shadowlands you can go back and do the Underdark no issue, and you can still go back and hit the underdark even after that (all the way until Act 3) though you will miss some quests that way.

    Vulkan vs Dx11
  • I crash practically hourly in dx11 but haven't had a single crash in Vulkan. Performance seems about the same. Annoyingly, HDR calibration is completely different in each mode so you have to redo it when you swap.

  • A couple of smallish warhammer related subs - /r/battlescribe and r/Eldar/ - not tiny subs, but only a few tens of thousands of users - nowhere near the size of something like /r/videos.

  • I'm 100% understanding what you're saying. I'm telling you:

    1: YOU ARE WRONG
    2: IT'S EASY TO PROVE

    You're welcome to go create a subreddit and see for yourself exactly what tools mods get. They don't have the shit you think they do.

  • I don't doubt for a minute that you managed to earn a sitewide ban - you certainly seem like the sort.

    All I'm saying is that mods don't have any way to give a sitewide ban and (beside educated guesswork), they don't have any way to detect alt accounts either. They don't have any backdoor access to the admins beyond the "report user" button that every person on reddit has access to. These aren't even things that are in any way in question, because a) literally anyone can create a new subreddit and see exactly what tools mods get and b) exactly these issues were infamously central to all the recent protests.

    You're the one whining about your sitewide ban my friend. The only person showing signs of any butthurt in this thread is you.

  • The admins might well have some sort of automation, but mods certainly don't have any visibility of it and the admins never talk about it. Outside of the customisable "ban reason" one liner in the ban message, the entire message is automated (and defined by the admins) - the mods don't write it.

  • Mods don't have any extra way to report users to admins that all users don't have access to. It's literally just the "report user" button.

    Mods certainly don't have any way to detect alts beyond just knowing their community and manually spotting posts with a similar style to known troll accounts.

    Seriously dude, you can see exactly what tools mods have access to just by creating your own sub and just fucking looking for yourself. The mod tools are shit, they get virtually nothing, certainly nothing like you seem to imagine they have. The fact that the mod tools are shit and have been shit since forever and that the admins have made promises to sort them out but never done anything about it are some of the major contributing factors in the protest and the move here. The API change were really just the last straw.

    You're obviously butthurt over getting banned but based on your attitude here you probably deserved it.

  • Mods don't have any more ability to do it than any other user. They literally just have to use the "report user" function, same as anyone else on reddit. There's no secret special back door access to the admins that mods get. This is literally one of the things that mods complain about - they don't have any way to deal with ban avoidance and alt accounts except to hit "report" and cross their fingers.

  • Yeah, no. Subreddit mods can't do that, only the sitewide admins.

    It's easy to prove this as anyone can create a new subreddit and see exactly what functions mods get. They don't get the ability to issue sitewide bans, only bans from their own subreddit.
