A very strange typo, and why must there be a 5 letter minimum?

*points to username*

Also, I'm pretty sure there's shorter on here, too.

Confirmed: your user name can be four characters.  But, if you want to change your display name, it has to be at least five characters long.

that's odd..... i guess it's to help distinguish between one set of names (actual) and the other (displayed)

Still, I would think four characters is sufficient enough.

yea..... I agree.

Also, didn't at one time you have circled letters for a display name?

[Member#36]

Yes.  I also had "illegal" characters to where my display name was invisible.  ...They changed the rules while I was gone.

Why can't a have a four letter username?

who is "a"?

also, there maybe a minimum amount of letters in a username.

You can likely ask an admin to change your display name to simply "Rahu" ...if you are trying to get rid of the three in your username.  Otherwise, they might not change it.

No the 3 is part of it, I want another four letter name.

It would be helpful if we knew what you wanted it changed to.  All I can say is ask a forum admin.  I would gladly change it for you, but it's beyond me.

Never mind I found a way around it.

Not really, you're still using five characters.  But, whatever.

It does work though.....

Actually it doesn't. I just tried to change my name back to my login user name (A) and it said it there was a requirement of 5 characters.

Not so much of a suggestion as so much of a complaint but - these forums have a word censor, so why do some mods still censor my posts. >.>

You have a goddamn censor for a bloody reason! I disabled it for me because I don't care if I see "offensive" language.

6. Moderate swearing is allowed. However, you shouldn't' do so against other users. If any moderator sees you breaking this rule, you will be warned. Posts may be edited if they contain excessive swearing.

However, I have not seen any staff member edit a post due to excessive swearing.  If Person A has the censor on, but person B has the censor off... then only person B will see the word(s).  

Regardless of whether it's censored or not, no post should have fifty swears in it.  I guess that may be why?  I don't know though.  What were some of the posts which were edited? ...Are you sure you have the censor off?

Also, the rules page has a spelling error... but it's fixed now.

I'm guessing it's because of the "you shouldn't swear at other users" part?

Because I sorta doubt the staff here would go out of their way to censor posts otherwise. But if you're being a jerk to someone and swearing at them, then... maybe?

EDIT: OK, looking through your posts some more, it does look like some people have needlessly censored some things. I'm not sure why, as you've said, there's a filter for a reason. However, I would suggest that if you're complaining about mods censoring your posts, then swearing at them about it isn't a good idea.

[tacopill]

it may also be censored for things that can't be caught by an automated censor.

But the "f" bomb?

If you have a problem with the post, talk (respectfully) to the moderator who edited it.  (It's at the bottom of the post.)  But while doing this, please keep in mind he/she is just trying to do their job.
