Pedantic and insecure name related question
« on: September 15, 2005, 12:19:31 pm »
I would like to use my name - Raul - without the full stop at the end of it.  I can't, because there is someone who has alredy taken that name - raul - registered on 2005-06-04.  This raul, fine gentleman as I am sure he is, has 0 posts since registration, probably because he has much better things to do with his time.

Is there any policy on knocking people off the list if they are inactive, or indeed have never posted, as in this case? Can I be just Raul and not Raul., which has an uncomfortable finality to it and sounds like my Dad when he was about to give me a bollocking.

We can change it, but then it means the other users name needs to be changed, a new password generated and these details send to them by mail.

The persons email address is public, so you can send them a mail asking for them to modify it if you wish.

Speaking of:

Can someone please get rid ot this:  Powered by YaMH (Yet another Mister Happy) underneath my nickname?

Is there any possibility that I can change that myself?

The only way you can change custom titles yourself is through becoming a "RAWK Supporter".

Touche :)

Well now you're not going to remove the custom title I've got are you ;)

I suppose a man without any other reputation on here than having A.C Milan as my 2nd team SHOULD choose to write the title myself. :)

Thanks anyway!

Wannabe-Rossoneri could be an idea perhaps? ;)

As much as we'd like to, I'm afraid we cant. Administration of Custom Titles has been outsourced to a little old lady called Dorothy. She's on vacation right now. When she returns she's only in the office Mondays and Thursdays :wave

You should employ Rooney immediately. He's normally up for it with ladies of that calibre.. Rotation normally isn't a problem either ;) And the best of all..he'll donate a fair bit every time it's his turn.

A win win situation for you guys (apart from the "must hang out with Wayne Rooney" part of course) :)
