is that actually true? I would be tempted to remove his admin-ship for something like that.

It is true, it was during the hack, when btp was not safe and the staff was looking for suspect accounts (ie Benserv's), i don't remember exactly what was the point but Knifa deleted accounts with less than 5 posts, (i knew it from chatroom, i was there).
Sure that it's bad for some mappers who don't use the forums and only upload maps (like Baka, for example, which maps i had noticed). But a good point is that their stuff was not deleted (sigs for example), so some people re-signed-up with same name and recovered everything, status and stuff. (ie .:gunblade:.)
I thought this was nothing new to you, Zogger.
I hope you won't remove his adminship, i discussed a lot with him, he explained me some things about how stuff works and what to do when there are problems. I understood he did some very good job, he cleaned a lot of spam, multiple accounts. I witnessed it. And he coded good things here, like bta, which is popular and boosted money. Maybe he reacted a bit strongly, but the situation was really bad.
Anyway i think there is a way to restore some of the deleted active submitters, no ?

it would have been nice of him to ask, maybe just check how many usershe was about to delete. It isn't his site, and we only made him an admin cause of BTA. I can't even think of a good reason to remove all users with less than 5 posts, except to make it easier to add them back into the db after a server move / backup restore. The multiple accounts were barely doing ny harm..
edit: he even said it in caps. I kick him in chat every time he says anything all in caps.

edit : I see, I didn't know his adminship was for bta coding at the beginning.
Ho sh**, I type as bad as usual, even in this log!

I thought it was stupid to delete people with less than 5 posts. The more logical thing to do would have been, to delete everyone with less than 1 post, and less than 5 submitions.

but the brightside is weve got rid of those nasty little user accounts which had been deserted.

if you recall there was a discussion on this in the admin forum a while back and the suggestion was met with a reosounding NO.
i would suggest we restore all users who's IDs are not found in the current table form the backup zog has.

uh... whiz has the tables, maybe he would have more luck considering he can connect directly to the db and I can't... Unless he wants to send it to someone else..
