It's not possible.

Fair enough. I tend to overexplain things just because I know someone will eventually read this and misinterpret my point if they don't understand how the forum politics work. It's better to be crystal clear. 🙂

Taylor Gonzalez79 said:You can't change a username without permission or unless they specifically ask for it.😉

Of course you can. We have people who register prohibited handles all the time; we ask them to pick something else, and if they ignore us, we just change it ourselves.

It’s essentially the same word. Technically, it's possible to use the same handle by just messing with capitalization, but nobody would actually do that because it's... well, pointless. It would just confuse everyone.

Daze hit the nail on the head. He just forgot to mention that you can't use alts once you've been banned—otherwise, every single account gets slapped with a permanent ban too.

And yeah, we aren't deleting other people just because you like their username and they haven't been around long. Sorry.

Have you checked your spam folder yet? 😁

So, I guess that post got nuked.

silenttiger24 said:It just says "spam" under the reason field, without any actual explanation for why.

It says why. Just some spam.

Have you tried using the search bar?

He’s telling me he's 70.

You posted this in the wrong subforum.

It's been moved. 🙂

Oof, you missed it. The very first post in this thread covers it:

Sophia Castillo35 said:How do I make a hyperlinked name?>
The Python code is tripping me up because instead of rendering my input, it just shows the raw W3C. It's way more complicated than it needs to be. 😬
So, I'll write out the code and stick a *asterisk* inside it (to stop it from actually turning into the link). I'll also include what the final result looks like below, as usual.
Type: [*url=http://www.website.com]Page Name[/url]
Result: Page Name

And do you really need to screw him over any more than this?

The link is technically designed to search everything, but we capped it at 300 to prevent server strain and to keep things from getting weird with people who have boundary issues. Stalking is just a bad look. 😈

That would be up to the admin, the site manager, or a subforum moderator. Not a regular user. Contact happens through private messages, or if you have an email, phone number, or physical address, you can go that route too.

placidmaker15 said:So you're saying even the mods can't see who's reading their posts?

Seems odd to me. I'd assume they could.

No, they can't. The forum is public, so anyone can read quotes without even registering.

Which subforum were you posting in?

StAff 😬

There’s no room for sentimentality here, just clear rules. Minor aesthetic tweaks to a username are fine, but a complete overhaul is out of the question.

Technically they're banned, sure, but there are certain links the forum simply won't let you post anyway. Take BitTorrent, for example.
