Ah thanks F8al, i wasn't 100% sure but i guess i wouldnt see why you couldnt either x_x

and You woulnd't 'beg' i guess, sometimes the admins would just give you one if you did something or said something memorable or something. either way, the ansewr is no

 

[Grey Belnades]

No, we regular moderators can also give out super bans.

Really?

Jungle just probably got Super Bans confused with I.P Bans. <_<

 

[Fuelbi]

With enough persistence, I bet you'd eventually get that neat "Banned (6 points)" title.

**** man, I really want that title

Btw, do you actually get banned for having "Banned (6 points)" as your title?

EDIT:

@ Jungle

So I suppose that's why Chok actually negative post counts?

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Man for being a member of the IBWC i sure dont know ****


and no roach, you dont

 

[Kupo Rose]

Really?

Jungle just probably got Super Bans confused with I.P Bans. <_<

Can I ask what the difference between a person being Super Banned and I.P Banned are then?

(Cause I thought being Super Banned = I.P Banned)

 

[DtJ Jungle]

super banned means that your account cannot post ever again, IP ban means any account stemming from that IP wont be able to be created or post or somethign along those lines.

lets see how many thigns wrong junglefever can answer tonight

I.P cans are just mostly used for troublesome users with alt accounts.

...

I say10.

Chok's post count goes down because of admin hacks

I meant to say that he got to get his post count lowered because he did some memorable **** right?

Alrighty then, thanks

He like frequently spammed like every board or something so his original post count got cut in half then his post count starting going down.

also dont ask questions about specific users in here its against the thread rules

So he DID do memorable ****

...****, I should try spamming every board as well if it wasn't for such uptight security these days

EDIT:

Well, technically I'm asking about the functions of the site on WHY Chok got his post count lowered

 

[Lythium]

I wouldn't recommend spamming every board. You're far more likely to get infracted/banned for spamming.

And I think your question was answered.

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

Wait, if hiemie wanted a black username, does that mean I can ask for a username color? (just not black)

 

[Lythium]

You can ask, but you probably won't get it.

If you're interested in changing your username colour, the easiest way is to get a premium membership. You can change your name to lime green.

 

[Frown]

YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO GET ADMIN HACKS, PERSONAL NAME COLOURS OR CUSTOM TITLES BY ASKING FOR IT.

In fact, the best way to NOT get something you want is to keep asking for it. This includes moderatorship and BRoom access.




The bold is for emphasis.

 

[TigerWoods]

Unless you're asking for some loving and your name is Tiger Woods.

Ok. I knew about modship and the BRoom, just not about the colors

Would my previous post count as asking?

 

[Steel]

It's all good

Question:
My Premium is running out in 5 days. If I buy more today, would I only get the bought amount (AKA the 5 days are lost) or would it add up?

No, it would add up.

This is coming from the guy who bought over 100 dollars worth of Premium.

how come SWF doesn't allow gif(the moving stuff) avatars? (well from my what I know you can't >> correct me if im wrong though)

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Because it would crash the boards.

 

[Jimmyfosho]

elaborate on that... because I've put gifs in my sig before and nothing happens, so why does it crash when it's put as an avatar? (providing it's the right size obviously)

 

[Jonkku]

Because it would crash the boards.

What wouldn't crash the boards?

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Not everyone has GIFs as sigs. Imagine sigs and avatars all animated. GIF avatars make my computer load slowly anyway, if everyone had avatars like that it would be 10 times worse.

LOL Jonkku

 

[Frown]

Also, GIFs can be very annoying. It's much better this way.

 

[Mic_128]

Images in signatures use img tags, which make the site load the image from the website/image hosting site that it's saved to. Avatars get uploaded directly to the forum's database. It's also why back in the day custom avatars were rare, used only as prizes and manually added by admins.

 

[cutter]

Just as a note, I frequent another forum that has animated avatars but not animated sigs. The question was brought up on why people couldn't have animated sigs as well and the response from the staff was something along the lines of "Not only would it crash the boards, but we don't want this site looking like a reject version of Vegas." Just some food for thought.

Also, about super bans -- whoever said that when someone gets super banned they can never post again on that account THAT IS COMPLETELY FALSE. I know at least two people who got super banned and they eventually got their accounts fully restored somewhat recently and are able to post again as if absolutely nothing happened.

It basically defeated the purpose of super banning them.

 

[Azua]

Well...anything can be reversed. I'm not sure I see your point.

While someone is under Super Banned status, they can't do anything.

 

[cutter]

I got the notion from that post that if someone got super banned, then their account was permanently disabled no matter what. Guess not then. *shrugs*

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

Can the glitch be fixed where, If you put 8+ of the same animated emoticon in a row, the 8th doesn't load?

ex:

the 8th smash doesn't load.

 

[flaco]

requesting a Perfect World forum area if you don't know hat perfect world here is the link for it

http://pwi.perfectworld.com/

Let me know what you think these will bring more members and more activity to the site...

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Make a thread for it in the Light House, if it hasn't allready been made.

 

[Frown]

It's because of the characters/word limit. Since you put so many letters in a row, it gets cut off.

Try to put spaces in between the smileys.

 

[Jonkku]

Doesn't telling how to do it kind of count as encouraging emoticon spam?

And I just noticed how most of my posts here are just questioning the answers given.

 

[Frown]

It's alright if he does it outside the actual boards.

 

[GoldShadow]

Wait, if hiemie wanted a black username, does that mean I can ask for a username color? (just not black)

Just saw this and felt I should clarify, Hiemie didn't want/ask for a black username. He simply willed it into existence with his immense psychic and interdimensional powers.

sorry if its been asked before but, is there a way to view older threads?
