You can PM the Administrator.
@ Darren They probably all wanted a namechange and when Perry came online, he just did them all at the same time.

QUOTE (Protoman @ 5 minutes, 8 seconds ago) | Well looking at it from a mod/admin's viewpoint, they'll run into the same problem when people need to get warned or banned.
There's warnings for each user, sure, but mods may forget the name of a user to look out for, or to keep tabs on. I'm sure there's plenty of users out there that have more than one warning that are on a mod's "keep a close eye" list who can get mixed up with other users who have one or two warnings because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Change names too often and it gets hard to keep track. But that's more of a policing issue.
I wonder if I sound communist yet. |
The Mods/Admins has access to everyone's warn logs. So there is no confusion. To access your own warn log, simply click on the 0% on your warning bar.

QUOTE (Protoman @ 8 minutes, 8 seconds ago) | Does that warn log reference the thread they got warned for? Just for policing's sake. Might be a good idea to keep a record of past user names as a failsafe. In case people forget about that one person whos name they can't remember. |
Yes, reference to the thread and the specific post is referenced in each warning (even verbal warning) automatically. The list of name changes is only available to admins though. I agree on namechanges should be keep to a minimum. I was being rather lenient on the "reasons" people give when they want to change their names.
After all, this is a funner forums than IDW. I also enjoy being more lenient here.
