Bots from search engines are recognised and get labelled as such.

Most likely not.Insomniac and Angry face both went over 100 in their username changes

The general discussion forum is special. You have to post it once and then a moderator will have to approve the thread before it shows up.
Oops...i tryed to post it like 5 times...sorry moderators!
If someone gets access to your computer remotely, like, lets say, a hacker, and then looked and found forums you go on to. Then he clicks the first one, the WBO, and then starts to advertise illegal things under your username.

But it wasn't you. How does this get solved?

Sorry, I just wanted to ask. One of those things where I just begin to wonder "what if".
If it was someone who obviously had several posts and was fine up until now, we would probably investigate and not ban the account right away.
How do you make a public poll? I want to change a poll to make it public.

You can't change a poll after someone has voted in it.
Do we have an exact number of banned members that we have banned so far?

Technically yes, but many of them might be multiple accounts, as well as at least hundreds of SPAM bots.

At the beginning of Beywiki, we used to boast that there were barely any banned Members, but this is not true anymore unfortunately ...
I have one question about the WBO Standard Rules. In the handbook it states that only Metal Fight/Metal Fusion Beys are aloud during WBO events. Does this mean that Metal Masters Beys aren't aloud?
Metal Masters is just Hasbro's name for Metal Fight Beyblade Explosion. That's why you can use Ray Unicorno, for example, at a tournament. Anything made by Taraka Tomy or Hasbro or Song Kong is legal or use, unless its the RC controlled or XST beyblades.
I have noticed that these days, when I send/receive a PM. It does not show the reply typed although in most cases it is a big response. I have faced this problem when my reply to JSB and darkbull9999 just vanished. JSB said it happened when he PMed BladingSpirit5 too.
So, is it something which only the two of us are facing or is it some bug in the PM system? Because it is really frustrating for the sender as well as receiver to receive nothing as a reply.

That is very odd. It does not even say "undefined" ? Can you show me a screenshot ?

They possibly just clicked on the link, but they cannot actually send emails because they are not logged in ...

I'll get the screenshot in the morning. But I dont think the screenshot will provide any detail/info. For now, an example of how it goes about:

Sender Wrote:Hi,
How are you
Hi,
I am fine. How about you
What do you mean by that?
I am sure I typed the response but it wont show Angry

That is how it generally happens. There is no error message or anything like that when sending the message but after the message is sent, it displays no text(not even in Sent Items folder). And hence, the only 'proof' of having typed the reply is the user himself.

Also, it does not happen always. It just happens once in a while.
In the WBO standard rules it states, and I quote - "Standard Format only allows the use of Beyblades from the Metal Fight Beyblade/Beyblade: Metal Fusion line of Beyblades produced from August 2008 onwards." The emphasis of the word "Beyblades", intrigues me. Are Zero-G, and Metal Fury products that are not Beyblades (such as launcher grips, launcher segments, and launchers) allowed for tournament use?

Yes all Hasbro,Sono Kong,Takara Tomy Launchers and Beyblades(Not XTS or Beywheelz) are allowed for use in tournaments
So I could use a Thief Phoenic at the Autumn's Assault Tournament in Silver Spring, Maryland this weekend?

Yes you can (regardless of stadia) if it is an Authentic TT\SK Phoenic.

EDIT: I didn't put Hasbro since they didn't release Zero-G yet XD

Were you using a phone, or a computer when you were talking to each other?
