Name changes: You can change your display name


Recommended Posts

So what happens to Radish?

Like all members, his name should also become "Radish". I have nothing against Radish (he's one of the few good mods around here) but he is a member and all members must obey the rules.

We do not allow members who have had warns to change their name.

So wait; If you HAD a warning, you cant change your name?

If so, another stupid Neowin rule :rolleyes:

There's a grandfather rule in effect... if you had the name before the rule was decided upon (and you haven't changed since) you get to keep it.

IIRC, once the warn goes down to 0% with the auto reduction system, I think you're allowed to change again, but IANAM.

I've got a warn and I want to change my name... I just accept that I can't because whining isn't going to do a damn thing about it except put you in a bad mood with the mods.

By your logic, all blacks would still be slaves. Hell your scared of "whining", so I guess Martin Luther King and all those other people that have stood up for human rights shouldnt have whined

When something is wrong, its plain wrong. And letting yourself be controled by a rule that says if you have been warned once (20% I believe it is) and it gets removed and you still can't change your name, that basically makes this site very unlogic.

Altho the admins can do whatever the **** they want, some rules just aint right.

Woah, woah woah woah woah.

Comparing getting a warning to slavery? Erm, yes, of course.

I'm not even going to try and have a mature discussion if you're going to be throwing that one around.

Its not the comparing the "happenings" its comparing the "idea" behind it...

If you have 0%, you can change your name. End of story.

I also had a question but didn't want to create a new thread...

Now that the [ and ] character quote bug has been fixed, is there any way to allow for these in display names again? It's not that big of a deal, but I kind of wanted a display name using those...

I thought Subscribers can make 3 changes in a 90 day period? I can only make 2? :dontgetit:

1st change: 6th January 2007 - 15:04

2nd change: 15th March 2007 - 18:52

3rd change: 7th April 2007 - 08:28

I'm sorry Code Blue but you are dead.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
