Just a quick question for future reference...

Can I change my sign in/ username or would I have to create a new account?

by Davie Tue 21 Jun 2011, 2:12 pm

We used to allow usernames to be changed but the feature has been removed for the time being because of abuse of the feature by certain members.

This is in fact very annoying for people who (for example) mis-spell their desired username when they register and wish to correct it. However, some people were changing name to try to post from a new name.

For the moment, I believe we as admins can change your username so if someone has a legitimate reason to change (correction of spelling for example) then we can do it - but we will treat each request on its own merits

That's interesting Davie.

From my perspective I liked the way it was on 6*6, I had a totally different login to my username, that way I was sure no one would ever be able to try to hack my account by guessing my password, because the name was wrong.

Any abusive usernames can easily be flagged by the ! button if any of the community see something norty.

Cheers Davie

The reason I asked was because I had a few accounts on different sporting sites, forums & fantasy leagues, using the same username and I have deleted many of them.

I was looking at 'rebranding' with a new username in th next couple of months for the football season/ new fantasy leagues etc and looking to get all sporting usernames the same.

I shall be keeping this for the time being though.

If your users were willing, I'd like them to be able to pinpoint precisely the location of any sports pitches/clubs that they know about - in their local area or otherwise. It can be done easily using a location code website - http://www.gocode.ie/getyourgocodemain.aspx - which provides a facility to mark places and give them a unique location code to an accuracy of 10 feet apparently. Ideally I'd like them to post on the forum here (or email if they prefer) the name of the pitch (if they know it), address/ townland location and the location code for its entrance.

Would this be allowable? I quite understand if it's not.

Just bumping this previous question as I didn't get a response.

Not very happy with a certain mod on here, is there a complaint box where I can fill in?

by **Pr4wn** Thu 23 Jun 2011, 2:47 pm

If you have any complaints about any mods, I'd suggest you PM either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.

Thanks.

by Guest Fri 24 Jun 2011, 9:28 am

why is there a few people starting to complain about mods, its ridiclous.

by **Pr4wn** Fri 24 Jun 2011, 10:19 am

Because we are all incompetent, awful people.

by Guest Fri 24 Jun 2011, 11:20 am

the comments about mods are stupid, the mods do a great job

by **Derbyblue** Fri 24 Jun 2011, 12:50 pm

Cricketfan not everyone will always see it the same way as you, some may believe a specific mod is being too heavy handed I'm sure those who are complaining are just complaining to cause trouble.

i know mate, i was just saying my opinon Smile

by Cari Tue 28 Jun 2011, 12:11 pm

This might sound like a stupid question, but when I send a PM to another user on here it's sitting in my Outbox. Will it go on it's own, when it's opened by them or do I need to do something to send it?

by **Pr4wn** Tue 28 Jun 2011, 12:12 pm

It will disappear from your outbox once the recipient has read it.

by Cari Tue 28 Jun 2011, 12:12 pm

Ah thanks Prawn! Doh

by **Pr4wn** Tue 28 Jun 2011, 12:17 pm

After they've read the message, it should move into your sent box.

Alright guys. First and foremost, very impressed with the site. It has a nice feel to it and is in many ways better than the original 606.

Why I am here though is to ask how you make a topic such as you see on the Sports Gaming section of the site? For instance, you see main topics, then topics within that if you understand me?

by Fernando Tue 28 Jun 2011, 8:06 pm

you have to make a request for admin to do so hodgey im sure they would be happy to oblige

their called subsections thumbsup

by Hodgey Tue 28 Jun 2011, 8:34 pm

Ok thanks for your help mate. thumbsup

No unfortunately. If anyone does know him then please pass on our best wishes and we hope everything is okay.

Could c-o-c-k please be removed from the swear filter?

If i wish to say someone is acting c-o-c-k-y it comes out man sausage y?

by MtotheC's Wrasslin Biatch Fri 01 Jul 2011, 3:55 pm

Are you trying to call me a c-o-c-k because of my cinema attendant role-play on Trash Talk?

by Davie Fri 01 Jul 2011, 3:57 pm

do the badminton lot have the same problem with shuttle man sausages?

by **ADMIN** Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:01 pm

Shuttlecocks are fine, cocky is fine. It's just c0ck that isn't
In the sentence that you've written I'd have just said cocksure and it'd have been fine.
Though what it did come out with did make me laugh out loud.

by Beer Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:03 pm

Thanks gents!

by Adam D Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:10 pm

What about the DJ Carl Sausage Man?

by **ADMIN** Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:11 pm

Dr Man Sausage from Scrubs?

by Adam D Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:11 pm

Who will win next years Sausageless pair at the Olympics?

by **ADMIN** Fri 01 Jul 2011, 4:12 pm

Courtney Man Sausage Arquette?

by dummy_half Tue 05 Jul 2011, 11:42 am

Guys

Is there a way to post a thread across all the sports boards?

I thought a good question would be to ask what the best / most memorable sporting event everyone had been to was, and obviously that's relevant across all the boards.

by Adam D Tue 05 Jul 2011, 11:44 am

Only the admins can make it a global announcement, but if you post it in a section and then PM the admin team to take a look and make a judgement call on whether it goes global.

by dummy_half Tue 05 Jul 2011, 11:49 am

Thanks Hobo - will do that.

by pauline1981 Tue 05 Jul 2011, 5:14 pm

The mods are a great bunch

by Adam D Tue 05 Jul 2011, 5:16 pm

Thanks Pauline.

we are a great bunch

by pauline1981 Tue 05 Jul 2011, 6:34 pm

Hobo why do people call me names

by Adam D Tue 05 Jul 2011, 6:37 pm

People call me names too.

We are all labels to some extent - some good, some bad, some nice, some mean. However, what label we fit, can only be decided by you. Look in the mirror and tell me what you see. Do you see Pauline?

I think we all have a little bit of everyone in us. I certainly feel like I know you well enough to feel that I have a little of you in me. And I am sure you agree that you would like to have a little bit of Hobo in you too?

by **ADMIN** Tue 05 Jul 2011, 6:40 pm

I think I just brought a little sick up at that thought. I'm sure Mrs Hobo often feels the same.

by Davie Tue 05 Jul 2011, 7:57 pm

Hobo's post almost brought a tear to my eye (as well as a little bit of sick).

Almost as pretty as a Haiku

by **Enforcer** Wed 06 Jul 2011, 8:25 am

It almost brought a little bit of sick to your eye?

You want to get that checked out.

by Beer Fri 08 Jul 2011, 10:08 am

Oi, Admins!

Could someone please fix Trash Talk? It's split and gone wrong?!

by Adam D Fri 08 Jul 2011, 10:10 am

Its because it got too big.

I will sort in a minute

by Beer Fri 08 Jul 2011, 10:11 am

Cheers, Hobo.

by Adam D Fri 08 Jul 2011, 10:13 am

Changed the OP to the same as the previous one as well as the title.

Dont think much more can be done - MAt or Crimey can always edit the message if they wish.

by Beer Fri 08 Jul 2011, 10:14 am

That's cool! It's just the original message was asking whether i was from Scotland!

by Beer Wed 13 Jul 2011, 2:05 pm

Can we please have a Matador smiley for Bull??

by Beer Thu 14 Jul 2011, 1:02 pm

Hello,

TheBrahmaBull is having difficulties receiving PM's, could you check his settings?

Thanks,

CJ
