What do you mean by this?
As far as I know, you have to have an account on the website in order to post on the SB.

Ah yeah, I remember the days where you didn't need an account to post in the SB... Then having to actually have an account. I was like... Wha? when I had to put my account together. I only started frequenting the site after my boyfriend (who is also a member of the site) introduced it to me.

Anyway, me thinks this topic can be locked. The warnings have been given, and anyone with 'mate' in their profiles will be/should be banned.

yes, I agree, to me, even having a mate should result in big-time ban... and I`ll admit, I have had a mate once before, and looking back I can`t believe how stupid I was (no offence to the guy I was with)

but in general, I just completely wish the idea of mates was never even freakin brought up in the first place, I just can`t stand people gettin all mushy with each other infront of me in the shout box or rp, and when you ask them not to, they still do it anyway! but the thing I can`t stand the most, is where they act soo freakin overprotective it`s ridiculous! like say, a girl member is good friends with a guy member and she gives him a friendly hug, well lets say that guy member`s got a mate, and his mate is watching and suddenly starts gettin up in the other chick`s face and growling going "you better not touch him"! yeah I`ve seen this happen before and I can tell ya it`s one of the most annoying things...
