That was something Redigit did, and also "LOCKED" is too big to fit into the allotted space next to the key.

I know it's too late but this might help you.

And can we put a background instead of a pure color in the theme?

Maybe use a smaller font?

Then it would be awkward. Not because it'll be harder to read, but it'll also be inconsistent with the rest of the board style.

Then how about shrinking the text down, like how the user online text is?

That's what I said. Even if you did it in other places like "Post reply" and that where there's a different font size used, there would still be an awkward gap left on the right between the last character and the Bullet Bill. Shrinking the entire thing down would not work because in some cases it would be illegible.

I think we should introduce the ability to report users, since I've noticed there's recently been joining quite a few spambot accounts that have spam in their signature instead of in posts, making them harder to report.

Or just ignore them? If you know they have spam in their sig just move on and just don't click any links in them = common sense. This spambot thing has been brought up so many times already.

You can simply report a user by PMing some staff; the purpose is clear if you title the PM as "User report: [...]"

Also the "Lckd" text is clearly readable as "locked" and I guess other forums use it too. There's really no issue with that.

I personally like how the text looks right now and don't think it needs any real changes to make it to look any better.

I am pretty sure you can ignore signatures by certain users by default, though I can't seem to find this option.

Maybe it was something that existed on another forum.

What you're thinking of ignores the whole post. Individual signatures can't be ignored.

This is for you, Shadow Yoshi.

Every time someone quotes you, your name pops up as Joey and not Shadow Yoshi. That way, I do not know if you said the quote or not.

I don't know why it does that, but he's currently Shadow Yoshi; most people will still call him Joey though.

He was the former community leader as I assume you know, and he's always been known as Joey. He changed his name for April Fools day (when all staff members had Yoshi names briefly) and hasn't changed it back since, and we already start to wonder if he'll ever change it back or if it's permanent.

Generally, there's a lot of name changes like this.
