Minor issue with posting permissions in this forum

It appears that free users aren't only limited to posting in Gameplay/Technical Issues & Bugs, but in addition cannot reply to threads started by anyone other than themselves (Yes, I am logged in; No, the threads are not locked; According to the permissions reference at the bottom, "You may post replies").

I don't know whether or not that's intentional, but it does get a tad annoying to see someone reporting an issue I've experienced myself and be unable to provide him with any of the information and advice I have on the subject.
I entirely understand the reasoning behind restricting us from posting in any forum other than this one and agree with the notion; this additional restriction, though, makes no sense to me.

Free players are not some kind of ****** horde that will charge through the forum spamming every thread in sight. Sometimes we too can provide information or answer someone else's question.

O.o *That* is considered a swear-word here? Fine, make that: barbarian horde (whether or not it comes from Asia).

Just as a clarification.

The word I think you used has been used as a slang term in a derogatory manner to refer to people with a form of mental retardation.

This is likely why it is banned on the forums.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I wondered if the word might be ******, given the "whether or not from Asia". Posting this will soon confirm or deny this theory.

Also weird is what I note about signatures for free accounts in my signature below - they can have them (based on old settings from when they were VIPs) but can't change them.


(PREVIEW)...And it is. Think the assembled hordes of Genghis Khan.


Premium accounts can't edit signatures.
Huh.

With respect, it might be better to wait for answers until after tomorrow afternoon. The boards are undergoing some unique maintenance that will almost certainly change some of the answers you'll receive in this thread.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
