Dialog box different from Livemapping session
It's just a case of DD3 vs. SS4 menus. When SS4 was first released, the DD3 tools wasn't part of the core package, so SS4 shipped with a menu set that brought up the standard drawing tools instead of the specialized dungeon tools. Just hit the :DD2: button on your toolbar, and the room button should bring up the desired dialog.

Testing some anti-spam features
Hi everyone,
I am just testing some anti-spam measures. Ideally, no one should notice anything at all, but if you for some reason get the message that your comment will be posted once it has been approved instead of just appearing immediately, this is why. Rest assure that if it happens, I will approve your comment as soon as possible.
Now, please be aware that this should not happen to established users (rank newcomer or above), so if it happens, it will be because something is not working as intended. (This is why we test, right?)
Ideally, new users shouldn't notice anything either, but if your post is classified as potential spam, it means it goes to moderator review before being made public. My goal is to have as few of these cases as possible, because I know how annoying that is as a new user to encounter a mandatory spamblock just because you are new.
I would also remind everyone that the way a user is promoted up the ranks is by post count and points combined. Points comes from reactions (Like, Awsome, Insightful, LOL). It is therefore helpful if everyone refrains from helping spammers up the ranks by giving them reactions. This is mostly a problem when people give reactions to someone just because they post an introduction post and say they are new. If they actually say something sensible (gives a good introduction, says something about mapmaking, etc) by all means, go ahead and give them that like, but if their introduction is completely generic ("Hi, I am new", "looking forward to talking with everyone", etc..), please give the reaction a pass, otherwise you are more likely to aid a spammer bypass measures rather than send a kind signal to a new member. (In the latter case, maybe post a reply challenging them to tell something about their mapmaking instead, that way they both get a welcoming reply, as well as being tested)

And yes, it is actually two blank lines at the end of that one. You may wonder why, since I spesifically said "only one line" in the video, but this is an exception, because the SPOLY command is actually split over multiple lines here, and the first blank line isn't repeating this command in this case, it is empty to signal no more coordinates, done drawing. But if I had added an extra, third line, here, then it would have tried to repeat SPOLY again, requesting coordinates from the user.

Live Mapping: The Drawing Tools
This time around I intend to dig a bit deeper into CC3+'s drawing tools, and show how you can do all kind of fun stuff with them.
Who said drawing tools were just for drawing? (well... I guess I'll focus mostly on the drawing kind during the stream)
Stream will happen at Thursday March 10th, 1800 hours CET. (Click the video or see the forum sidebar to figure out the time in your time zone)
