How to quote?

Are you using the mobile site or desktop?

To quote on the mobile site you have to manually highlight the text you want to quote, past it into the text box and bracket it with [quote] [ /quote] with out the gab before the slash in the second one. Desktop site, just click quote on the post you want to quote.

Has the chatbox finished? 2 PPV's it's been asked for and nothing has happened.'

by trottb Tue Dec 16, 2014 1:42 pm

Probably not the place for this, but the 'about V2' tab still references 606V2.

Sorry to trouble you, I had an altercation with Shifty on the Rugby forum a couple of days ago, in which he said he had me on ignore, yet managed to see one of my posts about him, I left it a day and then sent him a PM yesterday which was not delivered, I presume because of him ignoring me. The PM tried to explain why we had the altercation and I believe was tidy enough. Is there any way this PM can be delivered to him, and if not, how can I gain access to said post as I cannot seem to locate it.
Thanks Wayne

Don't complain......Don't explain.........

The email address I registered on here 4 years ago is now defunct, and there doesn't seem to be any way for me to update this in my profile. Can someone please help?

Btw, I originally posted this question on the "Feedback" topic thread as that seemed to me the likeliest place to ask for help. I've only dug further after two weeks and no replies, but though I'm pleased to find this site has a Help thread which of course was what I wanted in the first place, a section called 'Site rules, chat box & other announcements' is not where I would have expected to find it. I wonder if the word "Help" could be promoted to the top level.

I suppose I should really have posted that second paragraph on the Feedback board... Headscratch

by Fernando Fri Mar 06, 2015 12:42 pm

You can't change the email only make a new username Ok!

by ListenUp Fri Mar 06, 2015 1:02 pm

Thanks, Fernando. Smile

So I could delete my account and start again with a new username and email?

Hmm, not really what I want to do. I guess the alternative is to carry on as I am, but without any facility to use email. Seems a bit odd. What are email addresses used for on this site? Do I recall getting notifications about replies to posts, from the days when I had a functioning email address registered here? I didn't use the site much until recently, so it's hard to remember.

by Fernando Fri Mar 06, 2015 1:03 pm

If you read Hero's reply on your other article you need to PM him Ok!

and he will change it.

Thanks, Fernando—done that now.

Why do we have a sponsored Advert section at the bottom now? & adverts in the Questions archive bit.

by Adam D Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:03 am

Simple answer is that its to generate some revenue to cover the costs of the site and its sister site.

I want to be a mod. It's my birthday next week so make it happen.

Is there anyway to check your old posts? It only goes back 5 pages.

Why hasn't nadeem been made a mod yet?

ikr. It's a travesty. I have fought hard and diligently to make my way to the top for my lifelong dream of becoming a mod to be taken away from me. May God have mercy upon all your corrupted souls!

What happened to the Charlotte Church thread in the Off Topic section?

by **Crimey** Wed Nov 04, 2015 10:14 am

It grew up and has gone to big school, maybe the posters from it will do the same soon?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed Nov 04, 2015 10:34 am

Which some of us agree on, and some don't...

by Breadvan Wed Nov 04, 2015 10:39 am

Patronising coments aside, personally didn't see what was wrong with it. Posters having opinions and sharing a jokes and a anecdote or two. Shame really..

by andybones Tue Nov 17, 2015 1:54 pm

Hi I'm a new poster on here I've been reading for a while now and really enjoy it and registered some time ago however I would like to know if I can change my user name? Thanks

by nadeem2099 Wed Nov 18, 2015 9:35 am

Yes you can

by Dontheman2 Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:00 am

So how do you do that thing with the white quote boxes. Been trying for ages messing about with " and"" " quote"

by Holymiky Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:02 am

At the top right of the box you want to quote there should be a button that says "Quote" this should take you to a new reply box I believe then you can type your message as normal.

Its been a whole year and nothing! Looks like I'm gonna be spending another year modless thanks a lot guys Crying or Very sad

by **Hero** Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:00 am

Happy birthday though!

by Holymiky Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:02 am

I think it's safer if if you aren't modded Nadz as much as i like you. Happy Birthday as well Laugh

by nadeem2099 Fri Mar 11, 2016 5:12 am

It's next Tuesday but thanks anyway guys. But if you ever need a new mod hero I'm your man. I can't promise I won't abuse my power, but I can promise that evil doers will think again if they try and commit crimes on this site.

by TightHEAD Fri Apr 21, 2017 1:57 am

Why is it when I report a post for offensive language I end up with a 48 hour ban?

Are the MODS that stupid?

by **Hero** Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:03 am

I actually gave you the ban.
The reason being that when I looked into your complaint (in which I also banned the other party) I checked through your recent posts and found them to be as aggressive and resorting to personal jibes as the person in which you were complaining about.
Being that in your immediate return to the site you're then questioning if the mods are stupid I'll also then let you know that you're on a final warning.

by TightHEAD Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:36 am

Aggressive in what way?

People voice their opinions in forums, I had used no excessive language, swear words or personal insults, discussing other nations inclusions in a sports team made up of 4 Nations is always going to get someone's back up, but that's sport, life and in rugby circles called banter.

by **Hero** Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:47 am

I hope they get stuffed.

Strange that you get an opinion yet I have to shut the F up and watch football. Go and do one.

by TightHEAD Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:52 am

My opinion, but I was the one being told to shut the F up!

'Go and do one' is a well known saying in my parts and means a number of things. sorry it that offended you and others, but that happens on sites that are open to the world.

Glawd is a poster who has multiple battles with fellow 606ers each day and always results to swear words like TW@T to get around the filter used by this software. yet he returns each day and allowed to continue on his personal quest unpunished.

by **Hero** Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:54 am

And he's been on the end of multiple bans over the past few weeks as well.

by **Hero** Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:57 am

This is though not about Gwlad etc.
I'd acted upon your report and banned the person involved yet you also decided to retort back to them in an equally aggressive manner when you should have left it at that and let us deal with it.
Upon then returning to the site you decided the best course of action was to then refer to the mod team as 'stupid', really the best course of action?

by TightHEAD Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:08 am

Well its not the first time I have been banned for reporting someone's behavior, seems like you are treated the same way just for bringing it to the attention of MODS who on some pages seem just as bad as everyone else at winding up people.

Fair enough calling MODS stupid wasn't the best course of action on my part and I'm sorry if it was taken that hard by you guys, but I was cross at being banned once again for nothing when compared to others on this site who use aggressive and offensive language daily.

by **Hero** Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:18 am

I can't speak for the other mods but when I see a report I look into not just the report posted but the interaction going on between the reporter and the accused as well as the general feeling of other posters on the board around the posts to try and better understand the context of why tensions are running high.
On Wednesday when I saw the report I also then saw your response and another person mouthing off so issued three 24 hour bans in total.

by TightHEAD Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:22 am

Fair enough Hero, I'll take you notes onboard.

have a good weekend. thumbsup

Interesting, I also recently received a ban - probably around the same time as Tighthead although I don't remember crossing paths with him in this instance. Can you confirm if this was also by you? Tensions are currently running high like you say but I was convinced that it may have been a Scottish mod who acted upon it, without banning the Scottish culprits...

You've also said that upon receiving a report you tend to look beyond the report to look for interaction, etc. I think you're moderating in the correct manner here as some folk on here tend to target people with the complaints facility, keep it up thumbsup

by **Hero** Thu Apr 27, 2017 4:08 am

I think that was the case you were in the crosshairs on that day as well, cannot recall the specifics on the matter but I looked back through the thread in question and there a few people taking it beyond what I considered acceptable discussion to name calling and personal attacks.
Have no issue whatsoever on the post itself being attacked and ripped apart, that's discussion and everyone has different views & opinions, it's when it moves from the post to the poster that's being attacked where I step in.
