View Full Version : Avatars
Is it possible to remove my Avatar?I am sure I have been given this one a long time ago and I feel that an Avatar with a person( it looks androgenous)in a skull cap with a red cross on it is a bit too Brighton for my liking.I am not prepared to spam to get rid of it but it is not particularly fitting!!Neal can I have a picture of a blue Trafalgar instead before I die of embarrasment?

Kapitan good luck to you what is your first posting?Now what other top ten hits did the village people have?One of them got arrested recently for drug dealing I think.My current avatar plus previous one look like they are made for each other.

Go to subsim comments and look at the stikys think you need to make a donation of $2 though.
I had a look, and the minimum is $5 on the donation page (http://www.subsim.com/sh2fleet_forms/donation.htm). Do you mean just send $2 to Neal's email address, or modify the set $5 paypal to -$3?
Fot those of you with a massive amount of posts what are the thresholds of changing your avatar,how many more posts have I got to make before i lose my village people picture? :damn:

I think that that one is reserved for people that complain, as I don't recall having it.

$5 is the minimum, for that you get a custom avatar and title.

That may have been the only one worse than the Medic!
THis sounds like an old fashioned protection racket-what is the FBI's number?
I have got it all I need to do is bump all of Kapitan's 5000 posts that should make the boards wobble a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seem to remember a song called one night in Bangkok
Actually I prefer the Bangkok picture it reminds me of Twisted Sister!Plus it looks completely unlike any of the lady boys you see in the Thai capital.$5 love you long time$5....................
I did donate some $$$$$$$$$$ for a subsim super cd a while back perhaps a little credit could be given?
Does anybody remember the song called Spam Glorious Spam?

If you keep this up Cornwallis you might just get the nurse avatar. :lol:
I got stuck with it for a few weeks when I tried to blow up the Dribble Trial. :shifty:
Someone remembers it -you can see it on the topic about Kapitan's 5000!
Is a small picture of a blue t-boat too much to ask for?????????????
I am quite fond of nursing staff -I married one!Matron the screens!!!

Now thats what i call spam.
That is not Spam .Have you looked at RumRation-it is good for Royal Navy gossip plus it has a sister site for Army rumour :ping:
... it is a bit too Brighton for my liking.
:rotfl:
Brilliant, I love it.

Oh that's not fair!Lots of my legitimate posts condensed into one and anomynously to boot.An englishman would never resort to anything so low.
On a serious note it is about time that some rules were listed about posting.How can you have 40+ pages of bump-it sounds like a maternity ward.Bumping everything that some large posters have posted is sounding appealing.Punishing those that complain smacks of an insecurity complex-can't you take a bit of constructive criticism?My posts have been amalgamated by an unseen hand perhaps the culprit will be man enough to identify themselves!!!

I must say that Kapitan's new avatar is quite to my liking. Bravo!
Cornwallis, no one is editing your posts. You are now an ensign. It will change again soon. Possibly very soon.

Thanks TAK i love my new avatar too :D

I appreciate that you have a non-virtual life as well, but these were four seperate postings were made within ten minutes and they taste like Spam.
And these:
Someone remembers it -you can see it on the topic about Kapitan's 5000!

Avatars on RumRation are free.The site owners provide a gallery to choose from or you can import your own.http://www.rumration.co.uk/were were three postings made in a simular time frame. They don't taste like Spam, they smel like Spam.
This:
Oh that's not fair!Lots of my legitimate posts condensed into one and anomynously to boot.An englishman would never resort to anything so low. was the final proof the make a case...
No hard feelings though from this side of the North Sea (and by the way I've been in Tunbridge Wells and it's a nice place...)
:D
<----------New rank same picture?I ask again what are the rules for avatars on this board and if some posts have been edited or condensed then the forum moderator should put his name to themYour local moderator who has done the editing is a man called Abraham.
As for the picture, file your complains with a Texan called Neal Stevens (and may God have mercy with your soul...)
@ Takeda Shingen:
I've been editing Cornwallis postings under the new anti-Spam tactics!

Subsim Forum moderator guidelines
A Subsim forum Moderator is a volunteer position, it is not meant as a rigorous activity. Check the forum occasionally. Daily is prefrerred but usually Subsim forums are pretty civil so a few times a week will suffice.
Subsim forum moderators should use a light touch. We prefer our mods to let things run without excessive editing, warning, and thread moving. Let people have their say. The only topics that are forbidden are software piracy, severe and repeated hate speech, and personal attacks. No intense, repeated name-calling allowed (idiot! moron!) etc. If a poster seems to be crossing the line, it may be a good idea to see if the topic dies out (it does not get follow up posts and sinks) for a day first. If the violation gets a lot of follow-ups and is turning into a major problem, then step in.
Always try to give a nice warning first.
Censor (by using the edit) any bad content, leave your inititials and an explanation.
If a thread is really out of control, make the last post and explain you are locking it (this only happens once in a while).
Try not to delete posts.
For members who are out of control, refer them to Neal Stevens in a Private Message.

Yes, if any posts are edited or locked by moderator, he is supposed to initial the changes.

Abraham, thank you for reminding me of some of my posts.You have seen fit to post this on a topic where i have not recently questioned your moderating abilities and closed another before I could make another post !In fact you have not really defended yourself in regard to any of my comments.
In my posts there are a number of items that are not spam.Have you ever been on Rum Ration and looked at the avatar system?I think not -and by the way it is a Royal Navy rumour network!
Many of my posts have been about the avatars awarded to me and how the system works.I thought it was a legitimate topic as the boards revolve around it.
If you want Spam just look at the 40+ pages of the cat topic.You should have killed that straight away!Yet it is a monument to spam that YOU have condoned.You must reap what you have sown.
You have upset a lot of people.Get a grip of the moderating and take my suggestions on board re getting rid of the childish avatar promotion system.Do not close topics just because you are not winning.Perhaps you could pass these suggestions on to the Onkel.
This was composed whilst the Onkel was posting the above.I wholeheartedly agree with his comments!

Yes, the "cat" thread has been a long tolerated spam-only thread.
Yes, we moderators should leave topics unmolested, if possible, and initial any changes. Me included (I usually do, sometimes I get sloppy).
We would like to keep the spam down but not at the cost of having a good time, of course.
The avatar system, well, it's too much fun to change. Plus, I'm still paying royalties to Dr. Emil Steppehoff and associates for putting it together. (See aforementioned avatar explanation).
Let's get back to having fun and mischief ;)

That's funny, I always thought the board was mainly for discussions, with the avatars merely being some decoration on the side of the screen. Oh well, different interpretations of reality I guess... ;)
