I've noticed that some of our members recently have had their usernames changed from it's usual bold font to the regular font type. What does this mean? They aren't banned or something are they?
It's been discussed. A member that is "grey" can use the report post button, which sends a post to the mentors.jostpuur said:Is there other way to get the username into thin letters?
I got my account disabled once for sometime because the mail sending wasn't working, and now I get worried every time I see username in thin letters. Wouldn't, for example, ability to send PM to admins without mail confirmation be a good backup? Or is there something like this already?

Actually it's spelling, and it's a typo. <whacks arildno with a frozen slab of whale blubber>arildno said:grammar alert!
Yes. A lot of new members fail to complete their registration and try to post.Defennder said:So that means that once their username has been greyed out they can't post anything until they respond to the activation email?

The main difference between a bolded and non-bolded username is the visual emphasis. Bolded usernames are usually seen as more eye-catching and stand out more in a list or in a conversation. However, the meaning or function of a username does not change based on its formatting.
The decision to bold or not bold a username is typically made by the platform or website where the username is being used. It may be a design choice or a way to distinguish certain users, such as moderators or administrators, from regular users.
In most cases, users do not have control over the formatting of their usernames and therefore cannot change it from non-bolded to bolded. This is determined by the platform or website.
No, the formatting of a username does not have any inherent significance or meaning. It is simply a design choice made by the platform or website.
Having a non-bolded username does not have any advantages or disadvantages in terms of functionality. However, it may be less visually noticeable in a list or in a conversation compared to a bolded username.
