[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;52645789]I still don't get exactly what spoiler abuse is.
Wouldn't this count as spoiler abuse? If not, why not? This isn't a spoiler at all. What are the rules for spoiler tags?[/QUOTE]
i'm using it to hide a joke spoiler: the real reason they're still using old vehicle designs. for stuff like these posts tho there's zero point in using the spoiler tags and it's just an obnoxious extra click

looking through other spoiler tag abuse bans from the last 6 months I can really only see one that shouldn't have been done ~imo~ but it was from a new mod, regardless i'll talk with hezzy later and make sure everyone's on the same page

I use spoiler tags for jokes all the time and didn't even know there was any rule until recently

I think I've used spoiler tags more for jokes than for actual spoilers :v:
[QUOTE=myon;52644040]why is there so many people who identifies people by avatar rather than username?[/QUOTE]
Avatars tend to be much easier to differentiate quickly than usernames, titles, or posting styles. Though you should still try to identify people by usernames and titles as well but then you also have issues such as people like you getting your username changed and around the same time you got your title changed as well. If it weren't for your posting style and avatar trends I'd have thought you were an old user who recently came back and started posting. (And I'm bad enough with names that I've actually already forgotten what it previously even was, lol. Edit: Limedood or something close to that wasn't it?)
Does anyone remember ~Kiwi~v2, I haven't seen them around in a while...
Even if someone changes their avatar, their title stays(mostly) so I can identify people by their titles if the avatar's different. But normally it's a mix of both, avatar and title that stick out first(logically). I mean what can I say myself I have a big blue fucking smiley for a title, that oughtta stick out, right? :vs:
Spoiler tag abuse ban always gets me, because I like to hide parts of my post sometimes under it even if its not really a spoiler
Like if I want to say something quickly very "quietly" at the end of longer post, for instance

you could probably write a scientific journal about avatar association.
It's like how people are able to remember people's faces and voices better than names, along with the concept of putting a name to a face.
When you recognise someone irl, you will notice them by their identifiable features first, then their name. While it's good to remember a name to this, I actually don't find it common in my own forum usage.
I know a lot more users by their avatars than their username, or even if I know part of their username to their avatar.
That doesn't mean I don't know a fair amount of usernames though
probably just shower thoughts

I try to make a point of knowing at least a lot of the site's regular users in sections I frequent by name but even then I still always recognize by avatar (or occasionally post style) first before I think of usernames.
Some users such as HumanAbyss or BDA tend to post in a way that's usually immediately recognizable so avatars or usernames aren't too big a concern there (in fact I'm not even certain what HumanAbyss' avatar is off the top of my head and I only know BDA's because it's distinctive and he's had it so long) though this also goes the other way with users such as Chonch and Tudd (and a few of the other Trump supporters although those ones are more distinctive) who post so similarly that I frequently mix up posts one of them made with those the other made. Some such as Zonesylvania have a distinctive username, a fairly distinctive avatar they don't change, and a distinctive style of posting so he's immediately recognizable regardless of what method I use to identify him. And some such as elixwhitetail I recognize by name and posting style only.
I can't help but notice a small number of users that will pop into a thread, say something really outlandish, and never return to the thread again after 20 "what the fuck are you talking about" replies. I'm not against them saying whatever their views are, but sometimes it seems really baity? Am I just an asshole or does anyone else see this pattern
If that were bannable then Tudd et al. [Tud16] wouldn't be here.

Not everybody has the time or patience to carry on reasonably-paced conversations over internet message boards.

is there any way to completely nuke my profile/posts? I posted a lot of dumb shit back in the day and I don't want it coming back to bite me in the ass
[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;52647064]is there any way to completely nuke my profile/posts? I posted a lot of dumb shit back in the day and I don't want it coming back to bite me in the ass[/QUOTE]Posts can be deleted but you'd have to give a mod a really good reason to do it. Otherwise you're SOL. I could be wrong, though.

Rename yes, remove no
[QUOTE=postal;52647200]Rename yes, remove no[/QUOTE]
that's better than nothing. how do I go about doing that
what do you want it named to? also if you don't want the account anymore the profile can also be deleted which just makes it harder to search for all your posts. you won't be able to use it anymore after that tho obviously.
deleting is cool if it gets rid of the username too
i can still make an alt though, right?
Can i just wire you guys money now for forum upgrades?? I want to buy gold member for someone but i dont want to wait :v:
