Sals Badgehunters apperantly full sooo

Did not think that would happen, but according from what we know the channel met its cap with the new influx of players
and
not done a purge of names since ... apperantly ever.

So to spread the word. If you use Sals badgehunters and know people who do, make certain you are logged in during the next 14 days.
Every player that is not logged in will be purged from the list and will have to manually /chan_join
the channel again.

Now for those without access to Sals, stay in there people just for 14 days. We will try to be more active as well on Union Taskforce so you should hopefully not be missing out on stuff.
Then when 14 days are up rejoin our channel

Wishing you all fun.
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Chan_tim...ash_Command%29
was the command used.

You should make a new channel just for general Union chat, and invite any new people to join it.

Now that we have more server we stumble on this problem.... The member cap is too low on global channels

/chan_timeout <channel name> <days> - Sets the number of days a member of a global channel must go without logging in before being automatically kicked from the channel.

With thanks to Paragon Wiki.

That was the one I used.
Set 14 days so as to give players a chance to not having to rechan_join too quickly.
Had I put it for one day then all who where not logged in that day would have been booted (and I have a feeling there would have been more howling and gnashing of teeth)

When you set it for 14 days, it instantly boots everyone who hasn't logged in for more than 14 days. There's no need to wait. (EDIT: I recently read elsewhere that this is wrong. When you set it, it starts a 14 day timer (in this case), and at the end of the timer, boots everyone who didn't log in since the timer was started. From that point on, it boots anyone who passes the 14 day threshold. Changing the timer resets the counter, and it's people constantly messing with things that apparently causes the issue that I mentioned below)

However, I'm in a channel that's been capped for quite some time, and from what the channel mods have been told by GMs, it sounds like the command isn't working right now. If you get it to work, let us know. I'm sure the people who run that channel would like to know.

*gulp* Your telling me it might not work?
*Crosses fingers* Here is for hoping it works..
*Folds hands together and with wide (deer) eyes "Could we get feedback on this dear Devs / Rednames? Pleawse let it work!"


Well we will see in 14.. 13 days and some hours. I hope those that are unable to log in now can tell me or any of the OP's at that time, if they are able to enter.
(If not the two channels Sals and Union Taskforce must just work closer together (which is wise in any event ) )

@Roderick. Will do. I will post it here if it works or not in any event.

I heard that UTF also got capped yesterday, I'll wait for a day or two to see if its a common thing or whether we need to do a purge too...

I also heard that that channel command isn't working. I've tried it myself on a couple of full channels that I'm a mod in, didn't work at all.

On that note, I've recently joined the Union population and would love to join Sals Badgehunteres as it seems to be "the" channel for Task Forces and the such which is my main activity in-game.

Might want to look at previous patch notes. I believe they capped the auto channel removal at 30 days about 6 months ago, back when the system wasn't even working.

In Virtue United, when it was set to 14 days, we were not given a message in the chatbox that it was set, but when it was changed to 30 days, we got the confirmation message that, after 30 days, inactive players would be removed.

*Edit*

From the Going Rogue patch notes:
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/pat...patch_not.html

...
So that means the 14 days I set will not work?
(GAH)

But if we set it to 30, then in 30 days the purge will take place of all inactive accounts?

And then we have to set the timer to a new amount (say 90 days). For it to wait for 90 days to purge of inactive again.

(Just checking to see if I understood it all correctly)


[Wishes for an op command /chan_purge <channel name> X
Which simply purges anyone that has not logged in for X amount of time. This command was given to help the player population get in to the various global channels after the Server list merge.]
