insurektion Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 will they ever go back own. Id like to change my name. The risk of starting a 2nd account almost seems worth it. Just change my MAC and im good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 In the profile please or in your USERCP. 586008572[/snapback] I still wonder why the worry if it's next to your post. Seems like a lot of drama for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I still wonder why the worry if it's next to your post. Seems like a lot of drama for nothing. 586010064[/snapback] Exactly. It's only viewable by you, and it alleviates a lot of PM's saying what's my warn level when it's hidden in the user CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 But then you get all the people of questionable intelligence posting frantically "OH NOES, MY WARN LEVEL IS VIEWABLE! HELP!" and then the 6 people to reassure him that he is the only one that can see his warn level. Catch-22, you might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it's not worth it. 586008454[/snapback] Well will the warning levels ever decline. I think 6 months to a year should clear ur record out a bit. Or for multiple offences every 6 months gets you down 20%. I have been a good poster (well not bad poster) for awhile now. And what type of know-how do you have that a MAC change and format could track back. (I dont mean that as an assertive statement like I would make a dupe account, just curiosity). It doesnt help I already said what I would like the new username to be to a certain mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, we have many tools that have been modded by our coders to figure out re-signups. It's pretty wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind either way, but I would prefer to give members that have behaved for 6 months the benefit of the doubt and allow them a clean slate.

Steven Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Exactly. It's only viewable by you, and it alleviates a lot of PM's saying what's my warn level when it's hidden in the user CP. 586010079[/snapback] I know. I Just don't want to see it. What is bothering me if you're not giving us a choice about this. You're using your superpowers to put it where you want it best.Well sorry I have to disagree. Personally I don't want the feature and Thats my point. Whats the reason the mods need to show your warning level on every post? Right now I know don't have one and I don't care to see 0% on next to every post of the 21,000+ I've made. :argh: I'm an extremely frequent poster, subscriber and for me its just annoying to see it every damn time. Warning Level 0% Think about seeing that 21,000+ times over or up to 80 times a day. Don't you think its a little rediculous! When it's in the USERCP or PROFILE ITS SHOWN TO YOU AT YOUR LEISURE. Not forced down your throat on every post. Unnecessary! Edited June 3, 2005 by Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'd think having to see your avatar all the time would be a bit more rediculous.. :unsure: 586011121[/snapback] :huh: ... isn't that where he was talking about it being possibly? in the avatar info?

Think of having to see this "image" 7X OVER than the amount of posts you have. Theres no point of seeing Warning Level 0%, 21000+ times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
