    QUESTION I: Ok. Here's the deal. I have changed my IGN to something more appropriate and mature than "Rockerz53". Therefore I am changing Forum account name... well ... my forums account in general, so I'm wondering if I can have my "Active Member" tag moved to this account. The reason I don't want to just change my name on the other account is I'm ashamed of the threads I posted, I looked over them, most of them are dumb and immature, so I'd like to start a little fresher. If it cannot be done, I'll understand, but it's worth asking.

    QUESTION II: All of my comments need to be "Approved by Moderators" before they are posted... what's the deal with that? Is it specifically me? Or does every member of the forums need to be approved?

    Question 1:
    You get your "active member" tag from your trophy points. Unless your account is lost or the forum administrator is in love with you, you will most likely not get your post count and/or ratings back from your old account considering it already exists. Most trophy points come from ratings, posts, and time you've spent on the forums, age being something you can't change. A better idea would be to delete your old content and rename your current account, otherwise you will have to start from scratch.

    Question 2:
    It's a protocol meaning any posts made within an hour of your first post will be moderated. This is to decrease the amount of spambots on the forums, and your posts will be approved within at most a few hours by an online moderator. It also applies to inactive members of the forums.

    Um if you are 100% sure that your answer is accurate (if there is no chance of that happening), then feel free to close the thread. If there is even the slightest chance it can happen, than I don't mind waiting.

    Well, send a private message to Zambiana. He'll give you a definite answer.
    I'll close this now. ^-^
