I want to report this user AvikDragon55 (just a good example of profile that breaks UI, nothing personal)
With great difficulty I managed to block all notifications from them. Fortunately my Chrome has glitch with brown UI elements otherwise checkbox is invisible.
Now I want to report them. But how? I do not see almost anything in the UI.
Naming and shaming a player is not allowed on OGS.
Beter delete this post.
And use this contact@online-go.com
I do nothing personal with the user. Definitely not shaming them. They do not take any action against me. They probably do not violate TOS. This post is not about them. It is about UI problems.
It is some kind of continuation of Do moderators see reports sent from user profiles?
It is about CSS personalization. It cause UI problems.
This profile is just an example why it should be prohibited.
I do not believe that the user do this by intent.
I think that @AvikDragon55 put the CSS code into the Github File, and the linked the code to his own OGS profile. I don’t think it causes UI problems, and it is definitely not prohibited, because admin @yebellz also has the custom background and shares the code with all of us. I also have a custom CSS background, but it doesn’t break the system. I think what you should do, is tell the player the bug, or the glitch and kindly tell them to fix it.
It’s his profile, so it’s his choice of how to customize it. As long as if the user doesn’t break the system, it will be fine. And I just checked, the profile page looks fine. Maybe you went through his profile during ‘maintance’
I dont think CSS is something people get in trouble for
I checked this particular profile, and the UI elements were working fine for me:
However, it appears that the difference is that I am using the dark mode OGS theme, which interacts better with their custom CSS. Switching to light mode replicated the issues reported in the original post.
In this case, I don’t think it was intentional to disrupt key UI elements.
In general, there are more blatant ways to hide/disrupt things, but it’s pretty straightforward for moderators to disable custom CSS in problematic cases.
Maybe in the next few days something will tell him that he is being talked about on Purim, which I could have commented on.
You are trying it in night theme.
Try it in day theme
In day theme the background is white. They override in CSS text to be white but forget to override background to be dark. So while the day theme is enabled UI is broken.
Yes, I said this above
I don’t think they’re saying they want to report this individual for using CSS. I think they’re saying that if you wanted to report/block some user, then CSS on their page might make it difficult to see what you’re clicking on. They linked to AvikDragon55’s page as an example of CSS making it difficult to read, not because they think AvikDragon55 should get in trouble for CSS use.
It’s his profile, however, so doesn’t he have the right to do whatever he wants there if it ain’t going to cause problems?
One “operational rule” ( * ) is that custom CSS must not impair the function of the site ON THAT PAGE.
It appears that the page has since been fixed.
( * ) “Operational” in the sense that you won’t find it written down, but if ever anyone impedes the function of the site with custom CSS we ask them not to do that.
This means that graphs, ranks, game history and functions must work.
Not quite. I am saying that using CSS should be completely prohibited.
oh
As long as there have been no abuse of this allowance, I don’t see the point sincerely.
There is a negligible probability that custom CSS won’t ruin user experience.
To write proper CSS:
Are you still not afraid? Ok. It is not enough.
The best thing you can do when overriding styles is not to override any styles. It is an axiom.
Coding is always the easy part. The hard one is to figuring out what to code.
Can someone tell me why I am forced to use someone else’s theme when I visit their profile/ group? It’s still OGS, not like their personal blog right? What’s the point of setting my own theme then?
Anoek has stated he wants to allow/encourage some personalisation of profile pages, to bring back some of that old Internet age of personal homepages and MySpace etc, before the mega corps took over the Internet and we all became identical cogs in Zuckerberg’s machine.
