Doomblade94 50 Posted June 6, 2013 After a player called "Lynett" makes incredibly racial remarks towards various members, Sholto bans him for 1 billion minutes. I copied that number into the calculator program that comes with the OS. So we have 1Bil minutes divided by 1440 minutes per day. That yielded a result of 69,4444.44444444444 days. Take that number and divide it by 365.25 days per year, and you get a result of 1901.285 years. Congrats, Sholto. You just banned this guy for nearly two millenia. Quote Share this post Link to post
TommyB 0 Posted June 6, 2013 Maybe in two millenia, we won't have any racism or prejudice in the world. I hope people will eventually mature as a society and not be so shallow minded. Personally I have never been effected by anything that someone has said to me; but I can understand why people can be upset by shallow minds/stupidity. Good riddance is all we can say.

Biggles 44 Posted June 6, 2013 If you do too high a number in the ban rather than 0 for permanent it actually just makes the ban expire straight away, what was Lynet saying? He was one of the good ones Quote Share this post Link to post

Tiny 16 Posted June 7, 2013 For those asking questions, guy called "Lynet <3" in server. I ban a guy for saying N****r, this Lynet guy messages admin chat with a string of racist insults asking why the other guy was banned. Sholto banned him straight after. No, it wasn't our Lynet as far as i know. Quote Share this post Link to post

Quinn 643 Posted June 7, 2013 For those confused by Skeff: Skeff is referring to the old numerical naming system, which worked in powers of a million, for example. 1 = (1,000,000)^0 One 1,000,000 = (1,000,000)^1 One Million 1,000,000,000,000 = (1,000,000)^2 One Billion Which is pretty normal, because billion starts with "bi", bi meaning two, so common sense says one billion is a million to the power of two. The new (Crappy) system: 1 = (1,000)^0 One 1,000 = (1,000)^1 One Thousand 1,000,000 = (1,000)^2 One Million 1,000,000,000 = (1,000)^3 One Billion So in the new system one billion is one thousand to the power of three, which just doesn't make any sense to me, goddammit England, why did you have to change to this stupid ass system.# The milliard is the name for the number 1,000,000,000 or a billion, but in the old system.

Shadow 0 Posted June 7, 2013 How is the current system crappy? what would 1,000,000,000,000 be then in the old system? oh wait, doesn't fit. Old system just skips ahead, how is that not the crappy one? Quote Share this post Link to post
