Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 could a mod answer me this?if you had a warning or 2 and changed accounts like A_D is doing do you get a new 0%% warning level?Actually, that's a good question. Are previous warnings from an old account transferred to the new account? Technically the warnings should be passed onto the new account because it's still essentially the same user.

nameless_girl Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) Sorry, but this is just totaly stupid Getting a new account because of too many posts or whatever. A namechange, ok. But I think this is bullshit I think he just means that he has too many posts to change the name. I guess he must really want that new name then.

highvoltage Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You'll have to wait until Eric or Madison see this, but i'm not so sure that they'll be ok about it. Making a new account is in some ways worse than having the name changed, as it becomes even more confusing for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 The reason the rule was added last year was because we had people who were constantly changing their screennames - which became confusing to other members and mods. They abused the privilege. So, we brought in a new rule that allowed people to change their screenname until they reached 500 posts. At 500 posts, most normal people are satisfied with the name they've chosen and members and mods know them by that name. If we start making "exceptions" to this rule now, it will re-open the floodgates again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
