i gotta say, from the pov of a yank, the 'worst' i'd do to the person that posted that sentence is remind them that 'bloody' is a curse word in the UK world and maybe they'd like to consider finding a new one
to me, i see it on the same level of serious cursing as damn...not a word you teach the kids, but not one that's horrible

I have a question (and I've searched but can't find the answer).
When a mod edits or deletes a post that violates the GW rules, is the user notified that their post was edited/deleted and why? I'm asking completely hypothetically here, because I was curious how the systems works.Chief of the GGP (Gateworld Grammar Police). Punctuation is your friend. Use it!
Great happy armies shall be gathered and trained to oppose all who embrace doubt. In the name of Hope, ships shall be built to carry our disciples out amongst the stars, and we will spread Optimism to all the doubters. The power of the Optimi will be felt far and wide, and the pessimists shall become positive-thinkers.
Hallowed are the Optimi.

As for deleted post, the post disappears from public view and again no *notice* goes out to the member. A member is welcome to PM any of the Moderators and request information regarding any specific post and provide information such as the thread and approximate date of the post they are searching for.
However, in a Forum this large it is not feasible to notify each and every time the Moderators have to make an editing or deletion decision.Life is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..

I know you have your rules about when a poster can get custom avatars but I have been here since Nov 2004. I am not a real talkative person and I don't like to spam. Could the idea of posters who have been here for several years and following the rules be considered as a possible reason to get to have my own custom avatar?
I'm not trying to be a problem. I just thought I'd ask."Embress your life, find what it is that you love, and pursue it with all your soul. For if you do not, when you come to die, you will find that you have not lived."

Currently, Darren has it set as a combo of length of membership and number of posts. And both criteria must be met to award the ability for a custom avatar.
I'll leave it to him to answer if he wishes to tweak those criteria or not, but there may be a limit imposed by the software that limits our flexibility

I believe post number is more of a factor than length of membership. (ie, going on what I've seen it only influences things by a few posts).
I understand, I'm not a hugely prolific poster either, but I don't feel a custom av should make or break your enjoyment of the forum, if you're having fun keep having fun!

I don't know if the mods are most qualified to answer this qs or Darren: how is the number of 'views' of each thread determined: only different IPs count or one user with the same IP visiting the thread at 2 different moments in time is counted twice?
Also, only members are counting or the guests are taken into consideration as well...
