novice questions

by **saxitoxin** on Thu Apr 19, 2012 2:35 pm

(1) I just noticed the "groups" drop-down menu on my profile and I don't know what these are, but can I dump some but keep others? For instance, I'd like to stop being a member of "Registereds" but I want to keep "Newsletters."

(2) I've asked this before and never got a non-jargony answer - I am not receiving email on my CC email account from people who are not registered on CC. I get stuff in my inbox from other CC players fine but other friends and family aren't having their emails delivered. Does this have to do with my spam settings or something? How do I change them?

(3) If I click "Empty the Wall" on another users wall does that clear their wall or does it only clear the wall of my posts? I've been afraid to click this because I don't want to inadvertently clear someone's wall.

(4) In a game, when I type a "Note to Self" some people are reporting they're seeing them. I'm correctly formatting notes to self by placing them in brackets like this -

Saxi, you're so old, when you go to a cemetery you mistake it for your family reunion.

You'd better leave this computer stuff to the young and able-minded...

1. You cannot get rid of registered users it has to remain there. As being a registered user of conquer club you are automatically put into that group.

2. I cannot tell you why your e-mail is not receiving e-mails. Is it getting any e-mails at all? If you are getting conquerclub e-mails you should be able to get other e-mails. Consider checking your spam folder in your e-mail if you are worried the spam filter is trapping the mail. Who do use for your e-mail provider?

3. Clicking empty the wall on your wall removes all comments on their. Clicking Empty the wall on another players wall removes any comments you have left on their wall only.

4. If you want to leave a note to self you need to check the box next to the text "Note to self". It appears right below where u type in the game chat. As you see in what you posted the [list] command indents when posting in the forum. It does nothing in game chat

Isn't the requirement of being in the Registered Users group an infringement of saxitoxin's freedom of association? Suppose our fellow CC member feels disempowered when he's branded as "registered." He's just another number--just another statistic in this cold rat-race over CC points. It's so demeaning to our fellow CC human being, isn't it?

I just use the regular CC email like everyone else. I can't find the spam filter location. I see something that says "Rules, Folders & Settings" though.

I got two emails from BigBallinStalin today but my girlfiend has, once again, tried emailing me and I didn't get it. I was thinking I needed to add her to my Friends list but she's not on CC so would I even do that?

(Thanks for the tip about "NOTE TO SELF"!)

Sadly, under the present regime all players and those who exist in the cc world have to be members of 'Registereds'. You can liken this to being a member of the 'Party' in real life, which of course my sources tell me you know much about. It would be unwise to try to leave 'Registereds' as this would necessitate deleting you from existence...once again somewhat akin to being a 'Party' member I s'pose.

(2) I've asked this before and never got a non-jargony answer - I am not receiving email on my CC email account from people who are not registered on CC.

I understand your issue with this. I have often wondered why I am not receiving mail from people who are not registered on CC. However, I did work out that as with the first question, unless they are members of 'Registereds' they simply do not exist, therefore my external email and all those people who send mail to that address are simply a figment of my imagination. As you can imagine, this was quite a shock when I realised it as it also altered my perception of the Universe generally.

(3) If I click "Empty the Wall" on another users wall does that clear their wall or does it only clear the wall of my posts? I've been afraid to click this because I don't want to inadvertently clear someone's wall.
I would avoid clicking "Empty the Wall". I have it on good authority that this will automatically record in the powers of 'Registereds'. To date I have avoided the temptation to click as I am unaware of the subsequent consequences.

(4) In a game, when I type a "Note to Self" some people are reporting they're seeing them. I'm correctly formatting notes to self by placing them in brackets like this -

This is simply the result of your thoughts and actions being tracked by the 'Registereds' inner circle. They will judge your actions even before you have thought of them, such is their power. they will then decide if your 'Notes to Self' are worthy of being hidden or exposed.

I may say, asking such questions in an open forum is brave of you. I salute your courage

Hmmm ... well thanks for the clarification. Honestly, this just makes me want to go out an get a gmail address then. What is the good of having a CC email account if other people can't email you? I guess maybe this is because of the whole Facebook privacy thing.
