Since the Bug Tracker is just a blank page for me (all the rest of BrainKing is just fine) I have to mention this issue here.

According to the Paid Membership page:

"Important note: You can have any kind of paid membership and pay absolutely NOTHING! Please read the Brains page."

This is not entirely accurate. In order to get Brains, you have to be a paying member. Therefore, it is impossible to pay absolutely nothing for membership - one has to have paid once at least, and then have the perfect sales pitch to make many others pay as well! :)

I would suggest the following wording:

"Important note: You can have any kind of paid membership and pay absolutely NOTHING for renewing it! Please read the Brains page."

mook53lhd: I'll send a note to the person that moderated your post. It will be up to her to take you off hide.

mook53lhd: if you adhere to the rules you will be able to post there again, if you discuss it with one of the moderators they may take you off hide :o)

NOT a floosie: i understand .no excuse but i`m use to kibuttzing on other boards that are totaly adult. i apologize .i knew i didn`t cuss or like that i fully understand . also i`m single now & have no kids .just a mind slippage there. i got it. thanks .i didn`t understand the censorship. you were right to do so. don`t worry now that you wised me up. thank you ; mook53lhd

Mook, I grew up in the USA to, as many here have. Most of us here choose to respect others. This is a privately run site with public access, so it has rules for those to choose to use it.

The conditions of use are fairly simple on the public boards. Respect other people and don't use language that would be unacceptable with children around.

If you choose to disrespect others or use unacceptable language on the public boards, chances are pretty good that you are going to be put on hide or banned from the boards. That goes for everyone, and is just the way it is here. This is a family site and the public boards are monitered closely.

If you should choose to upgrade and purchase a membership, I think you will find that there may be some fellowships you would enjoy if you like this type of activity is what you are looking for.

pauloaguia: That's it.

Lamby: i`ve been put on hide .obviously the originators of this board haven`t been free long enough to understand the concept.(thats probably enough to get me bounced again.)but i grew up in the u s of a) we say what we like when we like to who we like well i`d say as a neutral read my chat room posts .but now you can not(maybe you won`t be able to read this). no big deal. i`ll stay here & keep it light. mook buts its tough with w civ going to hell in a hand basket.thats a statement & opinion. is that allowed. i see they have cliques on the chat board .its either chocolate or petrol . i chose petrol mook53lhd take care & have a good day.

pauloaguia: Its ok, i did it another way, but dont tell Fencer lol

(at least I hope that's how it works )

Princess Alison: Go to "Paid Membership" and on the right you'll see Membership: PrincessAllison. Just click the "Change" button and select some other player's name.

Kipling:

Kipling:

Princess Alison: Only your hairdresser knows for sure!
;0)

Fencer: I saw the new paid membership, but it didnt really state how to pay for somebody elses membership, or am i blonde lol

cariad: It's much easier now. See the Paid Membership page.

cariad: LMAO, yeah dont worry, i will

Princess Alison: Oh and stress that you want the Brains credited to yourself... and quote your own mem.no. and nic!

cariad: ok, thank you very much for your help

Princess Alison: There are a few ways. One is to buy it as if for yourself then explain that you want it transferred in the 'notes' box on paypal (giving membership number and nic) or message Fencer directly about the transfer.

Can smebody help me, i would like to buy membership for somebody on here, as they cant afford it, please can somebody tell me the best way to do it.

same here Princess Alison the only other name I had for her was ginger, but I will give it a go.
Thanks Harley

If you post at the board, somebody there may know her real name and be able to search.

harley: Yes, but she wont be going by the name PriscaPan, and i dont think she ever game me her full name

Oldhamgirl theres a board set up specially for missing people,

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=103

I think they have websites listed there where you can search for missing people online.

oldhamgirl: Yes, i was playing with her everyday, then she disappeared, all of her games with me timed out, i a just as concerned as you are

Is anyone a friend of PriscaPan in here, I was just wondering what had happened to her, I dont know what part of the states she comes from and I am just hoping she is ok

Lamby: no problem just curious is all. thanks mook

mook53lhd: Hi, read the General Chat board & things may become more clear :o) This conversation should also be carried out on there rather than on here

playBunny: wha happened . i miss something.?? i think because of the anonominity of the board ,some people are apt to vent.personally on this board i myself don`t see why .i can see on a political board or philosophy,even sports things can get heated up. as long as you`re not cursed at,or otherwise slandered or defamed it might be good for the digestive juices. the thing is something you say in passing or think is a casual remark may push someones buttons .flaming thats an interesting way of putting it. intentionaly an obvious intent to get someones goat i agree is wrong. but how is 1 to know.??? i think we`re adults & we should expect a little criticism given in the right spirit.i`ve written a couple of times as a rookie & was helped by quite a few people. well thats my 2 cents as ireally don`t know what occured. now some may write back mind your own biz. or something to that effect. is that flaming me??? its a ticklish situation at best. mook53lhd

Anna LyzeThis: yes I completely agree! I hope and would love for all new pawns to feel welcome! Its a great site! :o)

playBunny: Thank you.
This is the meaning used on other game sites, I have been to. I wonder if others knew the meaning?
So far,with the exception of just a few, everyone seems to get along famously,and are quite eager to help.
That mixed with an outstanding mix of game selections,makes me want to become a member.

Kipling: yes it SHOULD apply to everyone!

Kipling: It can be seen in two ways. Applying a flame to someone, by directly insulting them or by making a seemingly innocent remark which will provoke them. Another meaning is as a shorthand for inflaming - whereby an already heated situation is prolonged, renewed or heightened by an inflammatory post. Flaming of this nature may not be intended, for example, poor moderator action can do more harm than good, and supporting a friend publicly rather than sending a private message can add fuel to a fire which should be left to fizzle out.

BerniceC: Do those rules apply to everyone?

same thing :).....flaming of players isnt allowed = don't talk nasty to any of them hehehe
you will get banned on that board very quickly as a few can attest to :)

BerniceC: Thank you,but I was acually referring to that particular discussion boards rules.

Kipling: if you are talking nasty about a country/person etc in the discussion boards people can take that as flaming, and on some boards it is a NO NO.

Are you referring to comments on the General chat board? if so that is what they are referring to :)

It works now.

Kipling: This is my meaning of the word "flaming" You can say "flaming" hot, which is another meaning for when something is very hot, or it can also be used as a very mild swearword for example, " I couldnt get into brainking last night, flaming thing " LOL. But i am British so my defintions could be totally stupid LMAO

BIG BAD WOLF: Me too, the only way i could get access, was to go into my e-mail and click on the link that appears in an e-mail that somebody has taken there move.

Hello.
Can someone please explain the meaning of "flaming"?
Thank you.

I had that problem earlier, I just logged out and back in and then it worked fine

I had to do the same...mine was just as BBW described

BIG BAD WOLF: Web TV gets a white screen so I switched to Brainking.com which works ok.

BuilderQ: Me neither. It keeps on loading and re-loading itself over and over when you try to go to http://www.brainking.com

I can't reach www.brainking.com, only brainking.com?

Marfitalu:
No problem with that, but I guess only a very few players... (maybe Fencer) have 74 established BKR.

Grim Reaper: Sure I like math, but the choice of name dates from when I was quite young and because there was a cool symbol with it. Differential mathematics are far from a favourite of mine.
