It would also give the staff a rest from having to edit your posts As I said, you can practice to your heart's content in draft PMs until you've nailed it, then come back fully competent in posting and quoting, ready to concentrate solely on your arguments rather than with this continual distraction. The thread will be here when you get back if you do do it.
As for Nine, he was only joking... ie he's not a Muslim as far as I know, so don't panic about that.emjay Wrote:xVery rational approach, except that you have just imparted the correct BB code to me; and, anyway the inauthoritative authority that are the censors, known as ''staff'' will successful have me out of here soon, while it is their advice whereby I was using "author", instead of' ' author'. Negatio.
It doesn't matter if you use "author" instead of 'author', since it just automatically converts it into 'author' in the former case. But whatever you do, as long as you have exactly two of them, and not mixed and matched types, it should be fine. So either two ", or two ', but not " and '.
The staff doesn't want you out, they just want to help. The staff here are very very objective and fair, and people are only ever banned for breaking the rules, not for personal reasons or for having unpopular opinions.
