Quick Notes From Behind The Scenes

Hey, just a heads up on our Day 1 status. I've made some tweaks to the moderation script to handle the surge of users we've gotten, so modpoints should start flowing more easily. I'm making a few more tweaks right now that should get this working as expected (I am going to have to purge out the point in system to reset the script though, so if you have modpoints right now, don't be surprised if they suddenly vanish into the ether.

We know there have been some issues with both registration and submitting stories. On the registration front, some of our emails have been marked as spam, so if you're not getting them, check spam filters. In addition, for the last half an hour, we had a problem with a human confirmation check breaking, which just got cleared. We'll keep you apprised of any updates to this. As for story submissions, this looks like an artifact of a human confirmation script that got re-enabled when we went live. It should be working properly now for logged in users, as well as AC, though I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope to have a more verbose tech write-up of the site sometime tonight.

    I wasn't able to reproduce that one, and it was during the period of when we *first* got Slash up and running, but no one has complained in IRC as of yet about it. Drop me a line if you hear about it happening again, and I'll re-investigate.

    Is there an "official" IRC channel for SoylentNews? Which server/channel?

      Most of us are on Freenode in ##altslashdot. I think there was some talk of relocating, but for now, join us there.

    Yeah - but how many times have people been modded down below zero since then?
    Another test does no harm.
