How do I change my name?
PM an administrator (@NYGuns, @HEX, or @NirvanaFan). They can do it for you.
How do I send a private message?
Here, they're called conversations. If you mouse over (or click on if you're mobile) the "Inbox" link in the top right, you can access your private messages. You can quickly start a private conversation (PM) with any user by clicking on their name or avatar and then "Start a conversation" in the pop-up window that opens. The option to Start a conversation is also available through every user's profile page.
Note: Conversations (private messages) and Profile posts (publicly viewable comments) are two different things.
How do I report a post?
If a post violates the site rules, or you believe otherwise requires staff attention, click the "Report" link. This can be found just under the text of the post. This sends an alert to the moderators and administrators, so make sure that the post violates the rules and isn't just something that you disagree with.
What is the ranking system? How can I move away from .177 BB?
The ranking system is all based on post count. The more you post, the higher your ranking gets. There is no published list of post counts needed to attain a certain rank. Just like the points in "Whose line is it Anyways?" post counts mean nothing in the end.
How do I change my avatar, signature, or personal details?
On the top right of the page, mouse over your username (or click on it if you're on mobile). Your account options are in there.
What are "Trophy Points" for?
Trophy points are just another way to tell who contributes to the site. You get points for reaching certain numbers of posts, getting "likes", and accomplishing various things.
What is the best way to get someone's attention to a particular thread/post?
You can call people's attention to posts by mentioning them. Just type @username. This will send them an alert that they were mentioned.
How do I leave trader feedback?
Go to the classified thread and click on the "Trader History" button. Follow the directions.
