I wasn't posting about a forum issue, I was simply asking a question. This is not an issue.

wtf is that about. I am truly sorry if you feel that this is an issue and belongs in the forum issue section. I felt that way I would have posted it there.

Learn to used Advanced Search now that Search is an ex-parrot.

Repost, and Forum Issues is the proper location to discuss the software and management of the AT forums.

Maybe if the mods didn't lock or delete half the threads that get posted there without giving a response, people would use it.

I am not new to forums and I generally post in proper sections. I didn't feel this was a "forum issue"....but your right, I probably should have searched first.

True, but they won't answer here either

Question not the Mods, for they are all-powerful and of uncertain temper.

Thats just it though, I wasn't really asking the Mods, I figured one of us lowly folk might have the answer.

Too much hassle I'm assuming. Someone will use a NSFW avatar, everyone will overreact and then a lynch mob will be formed

I was curious about your age because you don't seem to have developed any reasoning skills as of yet. Knowing your age would help me in dealing with teens in the future.
