I mean, Terry Turner2 can go with whatever, honestly. Spaces are totally fine in the corrections, and if you ask me, it actually looks a bit cleaner that way.
But look, both versions—Terry Turner2 and Lady—are officially approved, so just pick one and let the folks in Miami know what you decided.
How do I upload images and videos to the forum? in Forum Help! ·
So, look, whenever you're jumping on Google to hunt down some image, most of the time you'll find that there are actually a bunch of different sizes available for basically any picture you pick, which means you can just grab something smaller than 640 px so you don't end up breaking the forum rules and getting flagged or whatever.

I mean, I honestly think it’s just way better to pick a handle right out of the gate that actually feels unique so you aren't constantly getting mixed up with everyone else.

For instance:
Look, we all know Reddit has a massive amount of users, and yeah, there's a decent chance the nickname you want is already taken, but do you really, truly want to go by User123? If we've got people using names like Anne, User2, User3, User1976, User33, and stuff like that, you're basically asking to be confused with everyone else on the board. And if you slap your birth year onto the end of a name, well, you won't be that age next year, but your handle stays stuck like that forever. Wouldn't it be smarter to just use a little imagination—like, instead of being Anne, maybe Jane becomes John?


Wikipedia.org said:on international forums, changing your nickname is usually totally unrestricted.

Just because that's how things work on other sites doesn't make it a rule here; every single community has its own set of guidelines, including how they handle name changes.🙂
And look, the whole point of this place is that even after someone goes through a tweak to their name, they should still be easily recognizable, which just makes sense, I guess.

I mean, it’s gotta be somewhat similar, right? Like, you need to make sure the regulars on Reddit can actually link you back to your old handle. There’s really no point in doing a complete 180 and changing it so drastically that people have to play detective just to figure out who showed up. That’s kind of the whole catch, I guess.
Honestly though, those three options you threw out there don't really vibe with your old one at all. That second one just rhymes, which doesn't really count as being similar, if you ask me. I probably wouldn't even recognize it was you, even if I tried.

Well, you've gotta come up with your own handle, I guess, and once you actually tell me what you're thinking of switching to, maybe then I can give you my two cents on whether it's anything like your current one or if it's a total departure 🙂
And just so you know, you can't use any weird symbols or whatever in there
How do I delete my posts? in Forum Help! ·
Yeah, honestly, it wouldn't even make sense, and it would just look super clunky anyway.

As for your own posts, you can only delete them yourself if you catch them within that initial editing window—it's about 90 minutes, I think.

I mean, you really oughtta just go ahead and ask the mods themselves which specific sub-forum those controversial posts are sitting in, since every single moderator basically runs their own corner of the site and gets to call the shots on what stays up and what gets nuked, I guess.

Ahaaa 🙂
So look, I caught sight of that handle somewhere and just really liked it, which is why I made sure to commit it to memory right away 🙂
And honestly, don't go changing it, because you've got that female avatar going on, so it's pretty obvious you're a woman, and that nickname is seriously top-tier 🙂

I don't think that's actually happening, if you're talking about people just snatching up other people's handles, because I still remember your username from back when we were on the Big Brother thread and I honestly think it's one of the more unique ones on this whole forum 😁

Nah. Busy.
Where can I find the leaderboard? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I mean, it’s just common sense, right? If some new mod rolls in without having any clue about a user's history on this board, they're obviously gonna look at their disciplinary record first. It’s basically how you judge someone's vibe here.
It's pretty much like checking someone's rap sheet with the FBI or local PD.
And honestly, a criminal record tells you a hell of a lot about how a person actually carries themselves, so you tend to approach those types with a bit of caution—it's just basic human nature, nothing weird about it.

Sure, I guess a user who’s racked up pages and pages of warnings can totally turn things around and be a model citizen, but let's be real, I don't see those comeback stories happening very often.🙂

And again, just imagine if they actually go through with taking someone's handle, and then tomorrow some poor soul tries to log in only to realize their identity is just... gone. It’s totally unfair, you know? I mean, you'd be pretty pissed off about it 🙂
Bar it's not like coming up with a new one is rocket science, though honestly, your current nickname is pretty cool, so I guess I don't really get why you're even looking to swap it out 🙂

Strikes, points, and bans
Did I deserve a red card? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I mean, look, if you were actually sitting down in some heated debate and trying to argue whether they should be labeled an evil organization, fine, that’s one thing. But just dropping that claim over and over again in the same thread without providing a single shred of actual evidence? Yeah, I guess that's probably the biggest reason for the ban, so in my opinion, it was totally justified.

urbanhawk17 is already taken, unfortunately.

But I guess Apple should be able to 😁, though I'm sure jadetrucker43 could back me up on that if you ask.

Honestly, just pick one yourself so the mods don't end up making the call for you 🙂, though if I'm being totally real here, Amy Wilson7 is way better than Tovar10 🙂
What is this music?? in Forum Help! ·
So, here we go again, posting this same exact thing on the forums at forum.hru 🤣
Help! My thread isn't showing up. in Forum Help! ·
Yeah, you totally can.
First off, over here you should probably double-check if this setting is actually toggled on—it usually is right out of the box, but who knows, I guess:
Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default

Then, once you actually hit send, that message ought to show up in your Sent folder... you know, where it shows your total message count at the very top when you open your inbox? You’ve got that option there: Switch to folder: received messages, just flip it over to Sent messages instead, and then just hit Go.

They aren't gonna approve that thing because it doesn't even look anything like what they have now.

Is it just me, or am I starting to hear seagulls circling this whole forum too? 🤣
