AI Thread Summary
A registered user is someone who has completed the registration process on a forum, while a username displayed in black and labeled "registered user" indicates that the individual has not completed their registration, often due to unconfirmed email steps. The discussion also touches on the forum's minimum character requirement of 10 for posts, which aims to discourage overly short responses. Some users express frustration with this limit, suggesting it restricts meaningful communication. There is a humorous suggestion that the forum could automatically append phrases to short posts, which is met with mixed reactions. Overall, the conversation highlights user experiences and opinions regarding registration status and posting guidelines.

You are a registered user. Can you be more specific?
 
:redface: I thought that would happen.
What does it mean if a username is in black, not bold, and on the public profile page, underneath the username it says "registered user"

You mean where their name looks a little grayed out? That is a member that has not completed the registration process, usually, they have not done the confirmation steps given to them in their confirmation e-mail.
 
Not sure but I guess those who'va disabled receiving PMs from others also look like that!
 
Thanks!

Why is the minimum numbers of characters allowed in a post 10?

It is to prevent short responses. Sometimes a short response is all that's necessary. I keep asking to get rid of it.
 
Yeah, I keep getting nabbed for messages like Thanks! and : rofl :
You can add me to your list of Voters Against Character Discrimination :rolleyes:

Personally I think they should raise it to 1000 characters to make posts meaningful like this one :-p

We make up a dignified forum that wishes to uphold the highest standards of abuse as well:

A minimum of 3 four-letter words must be used in any insult you wish to make here.

Since 3*4=12, the minimum number is 10, due allowance given for forgetting a couple of letters in the heat of the moment.

I think the forum should automatically add LOL!OMG!ROFLMAO! to the end of every post that is too short.

Lisa! is always pushing the use of !s. I think someone in her family invented the ! and she gets some kind of royalty everytime it's used. We're all going to get bills in the mail one day.
