So, in the Bandai interview feedback thread, I wanted to reply specifically to something GATSU had written, so I went to quote him, and got the following error:
Quote:
Sorry, but only users granted special access can reply to posts in this forum.

I was still able to manually quote him via "reply to thread" copy/paste and manual coding, as well as quote any other user in the thread.

Interesting. I know when I was under Moderation people could still quote me fine. Wonder what happened here.

I was curious about this so I did a quick check, and it seems like other posts of GATSU can still be quoted fine. Like his posts in this thread. But I too was unable to quote a post of his over in the Bandai interview thread. Odd.

Another thing I noticed that is kind of strange is that if you view GATSU's post history (which I did in order to find other posts to test quoting), it doesn't show any post more recent than early 2010.

Mad_Scientist: The link you gave for Gatsu's post history gives the message "No topics or posts met your search criteria" when clicked on.

It seems there was a glitch just for that one post, so that it was marked as part of a different forum than the topic to which it belongs. Theoretically impossible, but hey this is Gatsu we're talking about Wink

Interesting? Any idea why GATSU's post history doesn't show up correctly?

I think it may be because he has been here for such a long time. Several years before I joined this site, this forum received a massive update and I think that caused some people to have to re-register their accounts. This was before my time as a member here, so I am not sure on the exact details.

How do I know this, when I first became a member here, I think I read a thread about it somewhere on this site. I am sure this thread still exists, as few topics here are actually deleted here.
