Could I upload it to Facebook?

It should work from a facebook picture just fine. Choose the facebook photo you would like to use in your signature, right-click it and select properties. Copy the address URL then paste that into your signature using the same code sequence that klunderbunker showed you.

The first set of matches will go up today and the voting will begin tomorrow.

I'd like to respectfully dispute an infraction I recently received.

I used a term that could be construed as being "prejudiced or hurtful" to a certain demographic of people, but I did not do so in a hurtful or mean-spirited way. If you'd like me to explain further, I can do so, I just didn't want to use it again in case of another infraction.

The context in which I posted it is my defense. It was in the LD thread, as I watching the NFL Draft. The crowd broke out into a chant, using the term. I simply stated it in my post, surprised by the crowd a bit. I didn't (and probably should have) used quotation marks around the term, as I was quoting the crowd. I'm guessing the Mod who infracted me didn't see the context of the situation and just thought I was using the term out of the blue. If I was, then I'd have no qualms with the infraction. However, it wasn't out of the blue and was not mean-spirited or meant to be prejudiced in any way. I always try to be careful about not crossing the line in terms of what could be considered prejudiced remarks and I don't believe I've ever gotten a warning/infraction for one ever in the past.

I hope I adequately explained the situation, and I'm hoping my infraction can be reconsidered. Thanks.

 

[klunderbunker]

Makes no difference. You shouldn't have said it and I would have infracted you no matter what the context was.

 

[PlayTheGame]

Alright.

Sir, before making a name-change request, how do i find out whether there is already an user that is using the name?

 

[klunderbunker]

We'll let you know.

I have quote notification on and it says falkon quoted me but when I go to click on it I get this message.

hyourinmaru, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

My question is why did I get this message? It stands to reason if I can't access the page then there would be no post of mine to quote wouldn't it?

Creative thread in WZCW dude.

Not staff, but I think I apply here. We quoted you in creative.

Carry on.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

That explains that.

Haven't been on creative in so long that never crossed my mind

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

I did. My last name change happened on 10-24-11, according to my user notes. It was changed due to glitches or something three times after that, to get of """ but those aren't my requested changes.

Can I get this addressed?

Also, has there been an update on my quote notification not working?

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm not sure what you're asking.

And not that I know of.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I'm not sure what you're asking.

He had asked for a name change and Sly told him to read the requesting rules. He requested a name change on 3-12-2012 but in his user notes, it says that his last name change was on 2-09-2012. The problem is, he never requested that name change or the 2 prior. It looks like you guys were just fixing some glitches or something.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh I see. What's the problem then?

 

[Nate DaMac]

I'm assuming he doesn't feel like his name change request should have been denied since he followed the rules. Technically, his name had been changed within the 2 month time-frame before his request, but it wasn't at his request.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Basically everything Nate said.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll update it when i do the next batch. Leave me a note about all this in there so I'll remember that it's ok.

Alright then. Thanks.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Oh snap, I guess whatever you guys did worked. Was it actually my problem, or was it a server problem?

 

[Slyfox696]

I didn't do anything.

 

[klunderbunker]

Neither did I. Either way it's working now so that's all that matters.

 

[Coco]

Can we place gifs that might induce epileptic fits in someone's rep?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's ok.
