Can the time limit/requirements to be able to vote be shortened? Maybe a member for like 1-2 weeks, because to tell the truth there is no point for such a long time till people can vote. I want to cast my opinion into polls but i can't and im sure the same happens to others.
Voting

Nope. Blame the people who try to cheat the tournament by voting with multiple accounts.
-
There is a point. That's why it exists.
-
Also those polls should demonstrate the opinion of this forum and whose members in here…and not from guys who just joined to be able to vote in a few matches and then never post here again.
-
I have been here for 2 months already and I still can't vote.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Well, not two months, precisely, but almost :(

@SGR:

You're lucky that you're allowed to post.
-
This post is deleted!
-
I guess .
-
Well yeah, i understand the point but i post in here less frequently then i lurk (mainly because of lack of things to say). I mean if i can't say anything why make something up. I post when i can, but in polls i can cast my opinion without actually having to post. Same for others. But i understand.
-
I was talking to SGR specifically. He is in a different situation from you.

If you have no opinions on anything ever, why should we care about your opinion on characters in the tourney?

I think that's the best way I've heard someone explain it.

What tourney? I don't take part in the tourney's i was talking about polls in general. Again, i have opinions but it's a matter of is it worth discussing/saying or not. It's the whole concept of think before you speak. But polls are anonymous casts of your idea toward a preset selection and i love seeing the results. Why would i want to take part in a tournament of characters? Also i do post, and i do go on frequently but to tell the truth i have never bothered to check the tourneys. So if that's your only reason i would like the rules to be checked twice.

The OP character popularity tournament that we run every year: http://www.apforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=79
The reason you can't vote is because too many people try to create dupes to cheat the voting in that tournament. We impose harsh penalties for it, but we also need restrictive measures to support them. No matter what you think about it, that fact will not change nor will the rules imposed as a result of it. Hundreds of people participate in every match, and there are likely over a thousand that participate in the entire thing as a whole. It's sort of a big deal to try to manage because of that. You only joined this month. If you remain an active member, voting privileges for the entire site will be granted to you automatically.
You say you don't post frequently, but come on, you've already posted 38 times as of this post. That's a lot more than we'd ever expect of anyone in their first three weeks.

Hello DraculeMihawk.
This is the Grammar Police.
It tells you to learn the difference between "your" and "you're" and most importantly to use it right.
Thanks for listening.
Have a nice day.

Nami… I'm not sure if you're the best person to sit and correct grammar. I know english isn't your first language.. but.. ;) He's not making friends as it is. Let's leave him be to shoot his own foot.
-
I'm probably not the best, but if I can help, I try to help :<
I would actually like if people would help me improve when I'm typing something wrong :P

I just realized I'm actually on my tenth account right now.

1. You (as well as the poster above me) usually make the grammatical mistake Nami pointed out.
2. English isn't her first language, but she is correct on that particular one, as can anyone if they bother checking a grammar book.
3. Grammar correcting can be pretty tiresome and annoying but can also be helpful for both sides if they really desire to improve, whether with friendly intention toward each other or not.

I was gonna say "I fucked you're mom", but then I remembered I got banned for saying exactly that.
So, I wrote this ironic post instead. -

This post is neither informative nor funny. -
Joke is on you, I changed my signature before you could use it against me
-
@SGR:
I changed my signature
I know. I just wanted to say that your posts were still as bad as ever.
I suppose that they are. Because I don't even care to remember how bad your posts used to be.
Bye, SGR boy. -

You're and your is, for most people, a typo. You're not actually confused on which it's suppose to be. You're just not paying attention.

Oh, is English your first and Greece/Cyprus/whatever the language is there your second? Its hard to keep track of all the multi-lingual people in here.
I just assume if someone is outside of the states or canada that they're bilingual and thus better than me. All of whom have my respect because I can't learn a second language at all, no matter how I try.

America cripples us like that.

Greek (with a Cypriot dialect and normal Greek when I want) is my first language. =P
-
In America, we don' need second languages.
-
Have I told you guys lately that I love you all?
-
Greek isn't a language, it's a set of words and symbols we can resort to when we run out of numbers and variables. :ninja:
-
Isn't Greek that language that sounds nothing like it's spelled.
-
Boy, you guys are nuts.
N-V-T-S, nuts.
-
I really don't know how I should feel after reading this thread.

We already speak 2 languages in America. American and English. Yeah.

What does Aledias mean and how does it pronoun?

Vietnamese is my second language. English is third. My first language is Klingon.

This is getting really off topic.
