Friend or Foe?

#1 Unread post by ckharris »

Just curious: when we look at someone's profile in the ROMS forum, we are given the choice to mark them as "Friend" or "Foe".

Are there many ROMS Foes out there?

What happens if we mark someone as a foe?

For example - here is the profile of my colleague (and friend):

Cheers - your friend, Courtney

Hi, I've wondered that before as well.

At the bottom of the page, it can be seen that the forum is "powered by phpBB".
PHP is the "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" web development scripting language.
phpBB (i.e. "PHP Bulletin Board") is an open source internet forum package written in PHP.

A search turned up info from the phpBB forum itself:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1311925
It explains the functionality of friend and foe.
According to it, a foe's post will be hidden.

I tried to be both friend and foe simultaneously for your account to see what would happen.
Only one at a time is possible. So, I left it as "friend". n . n;
