Just a Question!
I see peoples titles edited(eg mines just says Junior member)
how do you edit this?
 
My GTPlanet > Edit My Details.
 
You need to have over 3 months of membership before you can edit it,, or 600 posts me thinks. Or something like that.

I believe that's changed now.
 
I've noticed that someone changed his title to BANNED or something alike and he got a suspension / infraction / slap on the cheek (I really don't remember) - is it generally frowned upon to use the default titles or was ist just because it said BANNED? :)
 
Banned, along with certain other words, is a banned word in the user title field. The only way you can get banned in there is to be banned, or to use a another character that looks like a normal letter but isn't.

A member put banned in his title by using a funny b, that looked like a b but wasn't, that the filter didn't pick up. I banned him for a day as he obviously wanted to know what it felt like...
 
ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß, daan!

It's called "Scharfes S" (literal translation: sharp s) and is a special character, both loved and hated by all German speakers. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Yes, basically here's how it works:

ß = ss

So the word 'heiß' can also be spelled 'heiss.'

Sorry for the German lesson I just had to show the general population.

Yeah well, that's all been changed now and it isn't exactly like that in every case anymore - but yes, that's how it used to work.

Then again, German grammar is the worst horror I can imagine. :p
