OK, an update.

Providing how i get it working tomorrow, i have written a new question queueing system in darkbasic pro. It is slightly different than the old version, we have designed it so that some of the idiots who post dumb questions wont have a chance. All the ops will be able to review each question before its asked to TGC staff and if they feel the need to, they can block the question. If they do block the question, then the user who posted it will be given a warning, 3 such warnings and you will be banned from using the question queueing system. Once the system is turned on it is easy to ask questions.

here are how to do it:-

?ADD <your question here>

Note: you can only do that before the channel is muted. Once it is muted you have to type /notice QServe ?ADD <your question here>.

Ops and TGC`ers, i will give you info on how to use the special features of QServe tomorrow before the chat . I hope it works ok.

The questions will be added in mIRC. My DBP program sits in the irc channel and offers the qServe service, this includes the question database, anybody who comes in tonight will be able to add questions so long as they dont abuse it. I hope that no stupid questions get through tonight as i have devised a method of blocking the questions that we see unfit, The users who ask 3 such questions are automatically banned from adding more questions. I just hope the program is stable enough, but i will test it before hand and if it turns out its not stable enough, then we can use lag`s script.

Due to stability problems with my bot, its possible that we are using the old script, which has been enhanced. Not really a problem though.

[EDIT] The bot has just undergone rigourous torture testing, so we have decided to take the chance and use him for tonight[/EDIT] Come in early if your not sure how to use him.

Basically to add a question you type:- /notice qserve ?add <your question here>.

Do not post spam or stupid questions, people who do that will get banned automatically as we block the moronic questions

Data Execution Protection... hmm, i still have no idea what that is. lol
but it sounds cool ^_^

i missed it by like an hour aparently, i'd say i'm disappointed but i spent 3 hrs watching the CG ass of Joe Dark; giving tips on 'perfecting' it's wiggle, while drinking some rather nice guiness; so i think it was time much better spent lol

Sorry to sound like a complete idiot but you´re not referring to the main character from Perfect Dark are you?(Probaly not but it was worth asking)
