Some general questions

Nov 17, 2008 13:34:35 I thought about making a number of threads, but it seemed a little pointless.
So, this seems a good idea for some small questions I have. If anyone else wishes to throw in some similar ones, by all means go ahead.

first question: Can we get a smiley face that waves (like a somatic component) its arm/hand added? Years ago, I had professors refer to some 'proofs' or logic as hand waving arguments when they were not adequately supported: you wave your hand and poof, you have proved it like magic. It would be fun in a post, especially since it is directed at an argument... Perhaps a little puff of smoke could appear or something.

second question: Exactly why do you have to register an account specifically with CS in order to complain to them? I think I read that somewhere. I don't have any complaints but I was curious. On the one hand, it could minimize a bunch of junk complaints, but on the other hand someone who is already perturbed with a situation may just say the heck with it.

Third question: I had a third general question but I forgot it. If I remember it, I will post it here.

The CS database and the Forums data base are seperate so that if someone is banned from the forums, they can still contact WotC to complain/comment/argue that it wasn't fair.

Bahhh, ninja'd.

While it was indeed different in the past, that's no longer the case

Nov 17, 2008 17:42:33 Cool. I have now learned why it used to be and that it isn't limited to that anymore. Thanks, guys.

Now, with any luck, I will remember my third question and they will add a smiley.
