Done.
In the future, guys, if you're going to report anything about a post, PLEASE link to it. I don't really have time to go through every single forum looking for something that's left vague.

Kind of a stupid question, but I tend to post condolences on threads discussing a celeberty's passing. I also may post in some "heated" discussions such as anything dealing with Micheal Vick I changed my sig to something I thought was kind of funny and referencing one of my favorite inductions However, the sig doesn't seem appropriate for those kinds of threads. Is there a way to not have the sig on certain posts? (simply put "this post makes the kids happy" just doesn't seem tasteful when talking about someone cool's passing or allegations of animal cruelty). Or should I just not post on those kinds of threads whilst I have this here sig?

There is not the option to selectively exclude your signature from your posts, unfortunately.

How come my last thread got deleted? I actually read the rules before making it (just to make sure). I guess you didn't get what was in there well enough, I'll look into clarifying it more in the Rules section itself. Your thread was deleted per the following in the FAQ: ""Discussion of most of those things are fine, something like drugs would need to be closely moderated, just make sure no one says things like 'drugs are cool' etc Promotion of alcohol: again it's ok to mention that you might be going to the pub, or that you add sherry to the trifle, but not to tell others that they should drink it, and you can't advertise alcohol."" "So for instance I might say that I knocked a few back on my way home from work. I couldn't, however, make a thread on which beers go best with certain foods since that would be asking for advertisements on some beers." Keep in mind that this violated the ProBoards TOS and had to be removed, it wasn't a rule that we made up.

Wouldn't all discussion of Michael Vick and his prosecution be considered political discussion? I am just wondering this cause I see thread and post in threads about it but realize that it is very racial political issue and deals with issues like law and punishment and what is right to do in the situation. I would think rules here would banned threads about Vick and his prosecution? officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=offtopic&action=display&thread=1188023255sorry here is example. I am not want to condemn anyone who post in there but how can you not get political in that? Politics and the law are not the same. When we say "nothing political" it is, in effect, a ban against endorsing, promoting, venting against or otherwise discussing political parties, or political leaders. Vick being charged with federal crimes isn't political. A senator being charged would be.

Okay, so I recently tried creating my own username and whatnot, but my access was denied. A friend who frequents the boards told me it was because my roommate and I share the same computer and the IP address cannot be used twice. I'm on his name right now, but I'd like to have my own profile.
Maybe my access was denied for another reason, but this is what seemed to be most popular. Any help?

Going to need more info on the 'Access Denied' message you're getting. Try again to create an account, or if you have one currently in the queue, PM me the information you used to create it (account name, e-mail address) and I'll see what I can do.

I know it's been mentioned before but the "Don't click this unless you're 18" banner stops the page from loading when you click. Very annoying Nothing we can do.

Oh Wise Board Guru Carter, I have nothing but espect for the board, and have enjoyed said board for the past couple of years as my mainstay on the internet... That being said, is there any way we could bring the subjects in your stickied anouncement to some sort of communal discussion? If nothing else, I would like to hear the opinions of the other mods on this particular subject. I'm sure it's been discussed in the Inner Sanctum, but I think, if we're to have a fair and open board, that it should be brought out in the open in some reasonable fashion. Forgive me if I've stepped on toes and/or over lines...I just really wish to get a better perspective on this particular issue (without voicing my pleasure or displeasure...ideally, and objective-as-possible opinion). Unfortunately, doing so, while quite okay in theory, never seems to work out right and usually denegrates into the exact stuff the thread in question is trying to stop. It ends up just being people complaining about other people, threads, trends, etc. and doesn't accomplish anything except make things more heated. In this way, I alone will take any heat for what I've announced I'm doing, instead of posters getting pissed with each other.

Small thing I just wanted to check so that I don't get myself in trouble when making a tournement. Is the Tournement ban now officially lifted or is it still in effect? It's lifted ... But let's keep it chilled people

Question on the spoiler stuff, if the happenings are talked about on another show before its aired (like the last two Smackdown! title changes being mentioned on ECW), is it fair game to be talked about openly? I think they were but, my memory sucks. Yeah, if something is mentioned on-air, that pretty well kills the spoiler portion of it.

I wouldn't necessarily count that as wishing harm on someone, but it's still out of line.

Quick one: How come any pics that link from photobucket don't show up for me anymore on this board? Mine work fine, maybe just a connection hiccup. Or if you mean the pics you linked from your own PB account, maybe you exceeded your bandwidth limit.

I've been reading weird things on the 'nets lately, I was wondering if there are any message boards that are NOT allowed to ever be mentioned on here? We generally discourage any discussion of other message boards, because it encourages people from one to go to the other to start trouble.

Is there anyway to change the forum skin? I remember on another forum there was a few you could choose between. This black & yellow is starting to get to me.

Hey.....Just noticed that the RESPECT sticky thing isn't up there anymore. You guys may want to bring that back. Check this thread: officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=WWE&action=display&thread=1188884107&page=9 It's also happening in other threads in that section. I've tried to put the fire out, so to speak....but Jesus, it just seems like people are taking things way too seriously over there. Also, another quick question: How the hell did a thread which is basically bashing Jillian Hall and even calls her "gross" in the title, get allowed to stay open? I thought we weren't supposed to bash wrestlers in a mean spirited way? Anyway, that's it from me. Thanks. I agree. It seems like the disrepect went up once it wasn't stickied. A lot of people still aren't getting it.
