Lino 1 balanced
What's with the moderators on this site?

I have sent e-mails asking why I am not able to use the username (Lino) and I get no replies at all.
I have looked and there is no username (Lino) but there are users with username containing only 4 letters so I don't see the problem with my username unless it means something nasty in another language.
Can anyone figure this problem out?

Re: What's with the moderators on this site?

Firstly, try posting this in the "support forums" at the bottom of the forum list, then try using a slightly less abrasive thread title?

Re: What's with the moderators on this site?

Yeah Id have to agree with ReefTroll on that one. Do you really want to insult the forum mentors on your first post? Not a great way to get started.

Re: What's with the moderators on this site?

Lino_1,

Please try and be polite when asking questions - I know you can feel frustrated waiting but all the staff here are volunteers (including me) and sometimes it takes time to look into issues.

Username wise there is another lino in the system from about a year ago. They have not fully activated the account but are definitely in there so hence why you could not get the Lino username.

Hope that clears it up.

Thanks!

Re: What's with the moderators on this site?

Why does a bloke with the name Lino think people are walking all over him?

Re: What's with the moderators on this site?

The moderators on this site are all loony-bins with drinking problems and gambling addictions; some of them have been to prison and are working here as part of their parole. Not surprised you had problems, i've been asking them for weeks to come round and sort my cable TV out!

Please ignore this seemingly random quote

Another clue here and the letter "h". Get the idea dude?
