Due to the recent attachment incident (link), a limit at 20 MB attachments per user has now been created.
If you reach this limit, you will have to delete previously uploaded files in order to upload new ones. To prevent this, you can upload your files to other sites and link to them. This method will also save space on the GZ server and make it faster
Some of you may have already noticed that it's currently not possible to upload screens to GZ24 via the Attachment Manager. The problem is that we've run out of space (memory), but Duke Nukem has already contacted our hoster and ordered more memory. The changes should take place within a week, please be patient .
We already announced that gamezone servers will be moved in early 2010 from Nürnberg to Frankfurt this will be done on 23.1.2010 at 23:00
gamezone24 will be down for probably 2 hours, after that time it should be possible to access gamezone again
if any problems occur please contact the admins
Spamming in "spam-free" sections has become a concern lately and that's why we have decided to take action.
We've introduced two new ways to reduce spamming in "spam-free" sections:
From now on, if you post two or more messages in a row, your posts will be automatically merged into one post. This however doesn't work in International Chatterboxes. But it works everywhere else ("spam-free" sections). Of course if someone posts between your first post and other posts, your posts won't be merged.
When you delete your own post(s), your post count also reduces.
These rules will reduce spamming in inappropriate sections. We've noticed some people like to post great number of useless messages in Welcome sections and other "spam-free" sections, and then delete them.
We felt that the previous rules were too unclear and inconsistent, and we wanted to make new, clear and consistent rules for everyone. From this point on, every disciplinary action will be handled via infractions.
Infractions are like "points", you will get different amount of those points from different actions, and when you have too many points you will be automatically sent to Penalty Box to cool off or even banned. You can see the limits in the rules page.
From now on all the users can exclude any number of forums from the forums list (as well as from "New posts"/"get daily" searches). I'm sure there are users who don't want to browse every section, but yet they see posts from that section in their "New posts" searches etc. This will solve that problem.
You can change your settings from User CP -> Edit Options. Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options" and you will find "Forums To Exclude From View" at the very bottom.
