The Right to an Avatar

[FrostyBoy]

Why that rule is in, I have no idea, it only encourages spammers to spam even more, even people who don't like to spam will start spamming, so they can use their own avatar. silly rule. something Afghanistan leaders would do

PH: don't gloat too much, you might end up like me, I've posted here since 1998 I think it was.. or early 98 or late 97, anyway, from the beginning, I was up to prince or king level and suddenly I was forced to reregister, and lost all my posts... I'm waiting on someone to bump me back up so I can use my own avatar again

[ixnay]

Just curious, why exactly were you forced to reregister?

[FrostyBoy]

I just pulled out the old email convo, and look what I found! aiyah, I was supposed to have my count up anyway! but it was never done, DanQ must he a busy man! here it is:

Hi.

What I can do, if you specifically request it, is delete your two current
accounts which will then allow you to create either "Sn00py" or "Sn00ps"
again if need me. If you do this and let me know what your new account is,
I can transfer your current post count for "ContradictioN", 665, into your
new account.

ANZAC, I give my fullest support to your efforts.
Communistic slogan: Freedom to the members! Avatars to everyone!

I think the 1 year rule should absolutely be reintroduced.
I mean, what would the forums be without those so darn
personal avatars? The old good Celtic warlord can't feel
at home here!

*looks for his sword*

[FrostyBoy]

Have I missed some important news from the admins? Did they give a reason why they have not allowed people to use their own avatar?

My brain is hurting, trying to come up with a reason for this pathetic, useless, waste of time. It has no logic to me at all.

The only way to beat us, is to ignore us. Just pathetic


I can't believe Apolyton has come to this, Apolyton used to be a great place, and now it's just another one of those forums that only a few people can stand long enough and the rest just fade away.

It's such a shame you guys, you really held this site up a lot and did an excellent job, why are you doing this to yourself?

[The ANZAC]

I agree with the ignoring: we don't ignore you and the forum rules, so don't ignore us. Replying is jsut being decent

[CapitanGarlic]

Hmmm.

Being generally too lazy to make 500 posts in any amount of reasonable time, I want the one year rule put back in.

OR

As an alternative, make OT posts count towards the total. That's where I spend most of my time. Howzabout it?

[Earthling7]

I've been here long enough. I just made the mistake of playing ctp for a year, and thus not posting.

Forget about the ctp thing! Please... I just made Prince... less than 200 posts to go... xcuse the spam. It won't take long.

Yeah...right...

[KrazyHorse]

For some reason, MarkG is dead-set against OT posts counting. He's already closed down numerous threads which bring up this suggestion. Death to the oppressor!

[Dauphin]

Let's refuse to post any more.

Planning a coup d'etat?

Might be diifficult. Instead I think we should all go on strike and refuse to post in OT until posts count there.

October, a good idea. We'll all be busy next month.

Oh, I have had this problem before but I have managed to get the nice admins to sort out my problems. If you do 'favours' for them, you can get your post count back

why is having an avatar so important anyway? Shouldn't the quality of what you say be more important than how much irrelevant stuff you can crap out to increase your post count just so you can have a cutsie lil pic by your name??
