Bit of an odd one...

too slow

Isn't it clear?

Are you old, sick... ?

This person wants to help you James, and yet you're being all cynical.

's merged.

Merged.

Merged and deleted.

has @hippy now got merge powers too?

Nuked again.

I am old and also a very very sick man. Though beyond all hope and help.

Merge is weird on Microcosm, because it involves a less simple model.

Events are a different thing than conversations, and how do you merge an event into a conversation and what does that mean for the metadata, and vice versa... can a conversation be changed into an event?

Then there are permissions differences. hippy has full permissions but most people don't. If someone creates a forum then they get access to the things within that forum as a moderator of that forum. They could in theory merge things, but can they merge things into things outside of their forum? Could they move things from their forum to somewhere else? Which set of permissions apply... the sending forum or the receiving forum?

These questions were never really resolved by the time Microcosm shut down, and so the moderation controls were never fully finished.

I have fragments of SQL and use different bits at different points in time, and because I'm doing it manually I can look at the permissions and types of things and choose which SQL to run.

In essence... it's done manually with bits of SQL on the server, and hippy doesn't have server admin (not sure he wants it either... it's PostgreSQL on a Linux server and the potential to wipe out whole forums is high).

@Hippy would love the full nuke function. The whole place would vanish and become last post wins again.

Black logo? https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/307880/

Is there a cited source that would justify the black logo? This presently reads like speculation on the outcome.

If anybody in the world of London cycling deserves to be honoured with a black logo, it's Ray Dare
http://www.kprc.org.uk/ray-dare-rip

Create a thread. He lived in Greater London and this looks like it was part of the VTTA 10 just outside North West London.

If there is a Rider Down thread with information and citation, then I'll add the black logo. Without the Rider Down thread no black logo goes up (it's a signal to check Rider Down to see how/where/how, etc).

Sorry, I made an assumption based on posts in that thread which have since been deleted.

Someone has just started a Rider Down thread:

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/307948/

Can you unlock me for the motorcycles thread only?

not sure he wants it either

No thanks. I do enough devops / dba shit at work. Unless it's a button click and posting a Mergatron image I'm out.

This could be moved to 'Rider Down':
