Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Is this something that just recently changed? I know before I paid for my membership I was not able to change my title and the option did not show up in my profile. The minute I paid it and went to my profile it was there. That was not so long ago, just a few weeks. My member title is one of the first things I try to update on any site I'm registered to; I know for a fact I was not able to change it before I paid.
Such is life... I don't think I look all that foolish, though, when it still seems a little unclear as to what's what.

I believe the user titles option was changed back when I decided to lift the restriction for paid memberships for posting on the BOI. Made other changes at the same time. Didn't figure it was worth my time to update the chart as I doubted they were significant to anyone considering a paid membership. And no, I don't tell everyone about what changes I make in the background. Just as I have stopped asking for opinions beforehand. Sorry about that. But that doesn't excuse your accusatory tone of your post, now does it?

Nope, all out wrong; plain and simple. My membership started 11/24 this year; the custom member title wasn't an option before then - neither was the option to upload an avatar. It might be something that's changed since that date, but hey, whatever, make it up as you go along.. no skin off my back. I'm not going to get in a pissing match with you; you'd win, of course, since you have the control panel.
At any rate, I'll be thinking of a member to ape and antagonize since it's obviously allowed. Who knows, could be fun.

Sorry it's such a big deal to you. But I can tell you for a FACT that the member custom titles was DEFINITELY available to registered members before 11/24. I don't remember exactly when it was, but it was absolutely more than two weeks ago. Quite likely you just made a mistake trying to utilize it.... Wouldn't be the first time someone made a mistake like that and then played the Chicken Little act. Sorry to burst your conspiracy bubble.....

You're right; I'm totally new to forums and have no clue how to access and manipulate such complicated functions.
My turn to use the obnoxious smiley.

Well... a little close. Neither of you is who you say you are and there's a bit of a blind eye being turned by the people with their finger on the button. Seem to be saying something in a high profile and slightly hyperbolic way...
'course I've always been a fan of most fictional vigilantes. Slap a cape and a secret identity on someone and they can do any damn fool thing in the name of entertainment.

Can't edit but... it also occurs to me that if there's going to be a lot of these spoonerclones, I should probably register Heinous Shamely as a precautionary measure.

I think that's a wonderful idea Heinous. The more masked avengers there are running around here, the more likely it is that someone will get tired of it and put an end to the nonsense.
I only exist here to point out the idiocy of having a site such as this without rules in place to ensure legitimacy.
Oh, and to have a little fun with those that have difficulty seeing the irony of it all.
