Maybe you should stop using Netscape!
I was wondering about this. Kind of a bummer.

listen to the mad man
you know you won when it edits the raffle to say you have won and contacts you with the key
you know you lost when someone else wins
i have no idea what link you mean and you haven't said if you're on mobile or desktop
(none of these things have to do with administrative stuff, ModBot's raffle functionality is thoroughly unofficial)
What is this, the Dark Ages? Next thing you'll be asking me to remember my own website passords and shit.
Also I can't find the F keys on my iPad.

Oh, I wasn't aware it was unofficial.
I'm talking about the link to PM ModBot that's usually on this line:
The PM doesn't show up in my sent box when I do it via desktop. When I click the link on mobile it just sends me to my inbox where I have to create a new PM and enter ModBot as the recipient manually.
I'll take it

look at the bottom, see if the box is checked
Yes, this is a failing of the mobile site, you can't direct link into a prepopulated PM thing.
Next time I enter a raffle I'll see if that box is ticked, but usually my sent PMs show up in my sent box. Unless I turned that off while tired. Gosh I don't remember (I'm back on mobile again lol).

I probably just have that box unticked. Phew, I thought a glitch might have been goin' on.

I got a question, how we get these fools to honor their commitment to the notebook? Burn it all down to the ground.

Just remember, modbot is watching you.
Anyway, is it possible for gaf to implement quote notification system?
Will it give a huge load to the website?

There's a Chrome extension that does this specifically for NeoGAF (though it doesn't play nice with other extensions for here like SuperIgnore). It also has auto mode.

Here's a Chrome extension that does the same thing with NeoGAF's native search: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/neogaf-quote-search/ckjcnkpbmkglmfbboceokdefnflnfjaj

Or whatever.
We switched about six months ago to a system where this is exactly what happens. When someone gets juniored, they should receive a PM from ModBot explaining what junioring entails, a brief explanation for what got them juniored (usually a link to a thread, more details if needed), and when they will be unjuniored, if applicable. Sometimes people have been confused about being juniored, especially if the junioring took some time to be processed and so didn't exactly coincide with what got them juniored, and this should help mitigate that.
If you were juniored before this was implemented and would like to request to be unjuniored, PM me or another mod (or an admin) to make the request. It helps to include information on what got you juniored. If you're not sure, you can check your thread posting history and I think you'll spot it.
How did you... earn it?

Your tag was apt.
Maybe I'm stupid, but the way GAF behaves when clicking on thread titles seems inconsistent.
Most times it'll go to the first post of the first page, but sometimes it'll go to the last page I read. When is clicking on a thread supposed to do the former and when is it supposed to do the latter?
It's convenient to have it land on the last page I was reading. Is this a GAF thing or some browser cache thing?

Click on the title and it goes to the first post. Click on the little neogaf ball just to the left of the title, and it'll go to the first unread post.

Is that what you wish, my son?
Huh, I thought that one being an admin could

Also, light? Stumpo pls D:
Turns out you were too reasonable for a tag.
He went fishing.
He got lucky though, you wouldn't want what most catch
Sometimes tags are given randomly.. and sometimes is not what people want.
Be careful with your wishes
Well, what do you prefer this one or my personal animated avatar?
This E3 we had only one downtime of around 2 minutes on the triple announcement of Sony.
I try to lower it as much i can, but sometimes is barely imposible.

Gromph laughs at your arbitrary rules
Mods and their perks...

I think I answered this above but yeah we all sort of spitball names and EviLore either agrees or disagrees or whatever. There's no hard and fast rule who we pick, how often, or how many. Mostly we just look for people we think would be good additions to our team. People who contribute constructively in different threads (especially areas that require a lot of moderation but that the current team doesn't cover very well), who bring an interesting perspective to the table and/or deserve to be spotlighted as posters, who we think would offer good input on tough decisions. I believe about the lowest level of activity we've made a mod has been Gotchaye, who had maybe 2,000 posts at the time. Normally we're looking for people who have been around a few years. There's definitely no requirement to have 100,000 posts and be here since 2004 though. I believe I also said up-thread that I think we'll be picking some more soon, probably in Q1 2016.

E3 GAF the last few years has been outstanding. Nothing near like the massive down times of probably 3+ years ago.

An order pizza feature so I don't have to open a new window or tab while browsing GAF would be great. :-D

See I always thought mods were chosen by like a fight to the death. Whoever lives becomes a new mod.

I sent my 10k to EviLore via paypal and never heard back. I assume I'm just waiting for verification?
Every time i ban they send me a cookie... this year i had 0 cookies.
Incorrect? I see it in a nice place
Is a perk of gaf GOLD, it detect your close pizza dealers and you can order by a nasty interface we developed.

Is there any kind of initiation ritual mods have to complete?
Seeing that this has become a sort of technical questions Gaf thread, I'll repost something here.
Would it be possible to tweak the mobile gaf layout? Specifically the right-facing arrow that takes you to the last page of a thread, in order to make the touch area a bit bigger.
I switched to an iPhone 6s+ lately, from a 5s, and find it very hard to activate that touch area. I don't know if it's because of the 3d-touch screen or whatever, but it seems as if the fact that the arrow is too close to the edge of the screen (and too small) interferes with the taps.
