And what made you think that i havent TRIED with other browsers???😕 😕 Just to inform you,l tried many other browsers but wasn't able to access IF...Forgive me if i think that some MISHAP must have happened from the other side of the counter, that suddenly i am unable to Access only ONE certain site right after questioning the working of the Website... too much of co-incident... no??? 😛And may i ask why people gonna think moderator's team are biased???😕 😕 (Unless they have gone through some roller coaster themselves😆 )its not that People gonna think any LESS of the MODERATION team just cause of a USERNAME... or are you saying that a simple UserName can lead to people thinking other way round???and IMPOSTER??? really??? Big word isnt it??okay let me ask a very simple question 😳Suppose a member's real name is VIjay... and he wants to keep the same name in IF username... that person shall called an IMPOSTOR???😲 😲 😲Its gonna be like Naam Vijay hona bhi gunah hai IF me!! Badi Na-insaafi bai boss😭 😭and May be you dont the the meaning or may be you had a very different idea of the word IMPOSTER😆... so its my great honour to let you know the meaning of the word>>>>impostormp'st/nounnoun: imposter
a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain.clear now hipposucks??I have never tried to act like a MODERATOR to make members believe that i m the REAL moderator... because you see people have enough of COMMON SENSE and SENSE OF HUMOUR(hopefully) to know that The member using "BiasedModerator" is not the real Moderator... duhhh🥱and people can belive what they want...a simple name can change one's believe??? really?? well i cant help those fickle minded people who changes their views in accordance to the names they see around... 🤪
When did I say you did not try with other browsers? In fact I pointed out a similar error message that you would receive if you tried to access the site in Firefox too.
It is pretty obvious what negative connotations can be implied by a username such as "BiasedModerator". In the same way that, as the other person said, if someone has a username with the word "*****" in it then the message can be given off that such explicit content is allowed here.
But anyway that is not even the issue as far as I know. The bigger issue is having the word "Moderator" in the username which gives the perception that you are a staff member. That isn't a rule unique to this website. If you register on any other forum with a username similar to "Moderator" then chances are you will be notified by some actual staff member to change it.
If a person has the same name as a staff member, then of course they can use it as their username. However this case is different because it involves not a name but a staff position.
Again please read what I wrote... I clearly said "For example, it should be common knowledge that posing as staff members (or giving off connotations that you are a staff member) is not allowed." I never said you actually pretended to be a moderator. I am sure that when you chose the username, it was not your intention to do so. However, others may get the impression that you are a moderator.
It is not that difficult to understand that if someone has the word "Moderator" in their username, then there is some chance that certain members may think of that person as being a moderator. I am sure that most people would recognize that you are not a moderator and just have that as your username. However the possibility of a misunderstanding still exists.
