Sorry if this is off topic but I found players can customize LVZ images of sub-arenas. ie if you ?go mindy and mindy.cfg has LVZs the player can change any image they want and put them in a folder called \mindy. The Continuum client will then load any image from the folder before the LVZs. I'm not sure if this is possible with public arenas. But my point is this can be used to gain an advantage in some arenas eg in MGCTF in ?go league it would be possible to make mines visible.

I believe that one is my fault. I defended the right to have a user be able to control what is on their own screen, and got Priit to load it so that the user in the end has the final control over it. If I remember correctly, there is still a sneaky way to override the public images. Well, it isn't really sneaky, but I like the graphics I have and I'll override whatever a zone sets if it bothers me.

SSForums.net should restore my wishlist thread that Spyed deleted to publically display some list of bugs.

There are like 2 to 4 bugs I know that I didn't include in that list by purpose, only because I made a promise not to reveal them. :\

Lots of bugs, missing features, and PriitK is the one who can do something about it. Too bad he doesn't really support the Continuum community any more.

Note that the deleted topics from SSForum will probably never get restored.

On the private, official bug tracker for Continuum, there is 148 outstanding bugs and 464 feature requests, the newest being two years old, the oldest six. So I doubt much is going to happen there.

As for deleted posts being restored, most forum software will not record deleted posts. Thus the reason I created my own mod to remove posts from topics without deleting them. I know of someone who made their own forums software so all deleted posts are stored in a private list, where a forum admin can go over and either restore or permantly delete them, like Window's Recycling Bin, but I doubt SS Forums edited their software for that.

Yup an approval system would be perfect. SSF were relying on backups but found out there were none or nobody backed up.
It's quite stupid that IPB doesn't have proper support for abuse if you think of it, like what you suggested.

Going way off topic here
