Judge Dread Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It seems this account hasn't been used in about 3 months or so, and before that It was mostly used for server status. I was wondering if we should expand on it's uses. For example using it to announce arenas on S or build events on C. People also like to complain about transparency so perhaps something to do there (No idea what but just thought I would bring it up). Any suggestions or shall we let it die in peace?

Denevien Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 In the past, I believe it was mostly Lude doing the updates, and it was done from the IRC via a bot. I don't think we have the bot anymore, and not sure who has the login info to do it that way. Also, I think it was only a head admin thing (since it was mainly for server status messages). I think it would be great to have it active, and even if server admins had access via another IRC bot. I know I'd use it to update for server related events. *EDIT* Went ahead and sent a PM to Lude to see if we can retrieve the login info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if lude checks things around here anymore tbh. I can try poking him outside nerd channels if you don't hear back. As for allowing server admins access to it for server event announcements, I like the idea. #creativecontest and the like. #hospitalinsomniapost :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denevien Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 So it seems Deaygo has had it all along, and that the bot it runs off of is still in IRC. Silly us...So once we get ok from some more headhams, we can get server admins set up with IRC twitter perms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Former Staff Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 As mentioned quickly in passing on IRC with Denevien. I support the use of the twitter account for server admins too. In addition to trying to keep people updated with quick server updates, we can fully utilise announcements for events of all shapes and sizes, alongside the forum calendar.

Denevien Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I've personally asked all of the head admins, and hey approve of server admins having access. Any server admin is welcome to ask Deaygo for perms for the twitter command in IRC. All tweets will be tagged with who sent the command, so any misuse will be logged.
