cozimjewish:

how do you get a subtitle?

They’re given by the mods. If you hang around long enough, you’ll probably get one. I think it took me about 3 weeks.

(My first one was Memberex, derived from the default subtitle “Member,” which made me laugh the first time I saw it and was serviceable enough, but I eventually realized that it essentially reduced my name to Random. Last night I asked for the one I have now, and there it is.)

If you want to ask for a subtitle, I’d suggest waiting another week or two, then starting a new thread (there’s an add new button at the top of the thread list on the main page), or for that matter, posting anywhere, and putting “for mod read only” at the top of the post. Ask politely and you’ll probably get one.

(If you’d been named “cozimajew,” you might well have ended up with “I do that too” for a subtitle. For all I know, they’ll do it anyway now… :p )

And when it says "Inactive" or "blocked" is that a joke or serious?

That’s not a joke. Inactive users usually have asked the mods to render their accounts inactive so that they temporarily won’t be able to use the CR (probably because their addiction was interfering with their lives). That’s the impression I got.

Blocked users have violated the rules (probably either severely, or multiple times). I don’t know if the mods can unblock a blocked user even if they want to. Maybe they’ll tell us.

We can unblock, but it’s easier to reactivate from “inactive”.

General useful information:

All posts must be read and approved by a mod before they’re allowed to be seen by the public. You can still see your own posts that haven’t gone through yet – when you look at such a post, the bar along the left side where your name is will be yellow.

You can change (“edit”) your post for a certain amount of time

after you’ve posted it, whether it’s been approved yet or not

(except a post that starts a new thread – that has to go through first). The edit button is at the bottom right of the post.

There is a little hash symbol (#) there too – this symbol holds a link to that specific post.
