Usernames?

Post by Sami »

What is with these new account names. I don't see these new account names log on. They are stupid really.

You MUST use your VW:C character name as your forum username.

If you don't have a VW:C character, you have no need for an account.

If your account gets messed up DO NOT make a new account, email vw_support @ new.vampire-wars.com.

If I see a username that doesn't have a matching player it will be deleted.

Seriously, has anyone else noticed that the number of registered users has gone up by a few hundred in the last few weeks?

What's confusing (at least to me) is that the forums have a captcha image during the registration process. So how are these accounts getting created? Surely someone out there isn't THAT bored?

I can only delete the posts that are from the spam bots, I unfortunately do not have access to delete the actual bots.

No, Valynn only has priveledges to delete posts. Either he needs to be granted user deletion priviledges, or an Admin who does have those would need to delete the users...
