Forum Rank Names

They're breeds of dogs, not representing any kind of rank at all. It might be a little confusing to other users and hard to memorize, unlike Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Omega. I know OOB might want to be different, but maybe if you want more variety, look up Greek letters and symbols to make new ranks? Dog breeds don't show rank, so it doesn't make much sense.

Since I can't post external links for seven days (that, too, should be fixed), I'll post the partial link to the Wiki I found.

Agreed, still find the dog breeds confusing. There was a vote with like Army-like ranks VS Dog breeds VS something else(cant remember). Army-like ranks had got the most votes but it was never changed.

Well.

Hmm, I guess it's a good idea.

C:

What exactly were those?

Didn't see this, and I think it's a good idea.

Ok

Well, you see someone changed it before the vote was over. I figured Plush had decided on the breed names. I'm going to change it now.

We're not allowed to use the alpha, beta, and such xP wolfhome said we were copying.

So Wolfhome says we're copying them, even when all other chat sites use those, too? LOLOLOL.
I'd use them anywway. Wolfhome can't trademark Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Omega ranks. :/ Especially when all the other chat sites use them too.

The advertisement on wolfhome got locked and hidden because we were apparently copying everything.

Well that's stupid. I see NOTHING like Wolfhome here.
I don't understand why they'd accuse you of copying.

Perhaps there is someone we can contact and see what the problem is exactly and why it is a prohlem. I do agree that all the chat site uses Alpha, beta, gamma ect, so it makes you wonder whywe are the only ones copying them. I did see in a earlier topic of someone saying we were copyrighting them and that we did not get their permission to use them. Maybe the other sites got permission, I don't know. I think it is best to find someone to talk to and clear up everything.

WOLFHOME cannot COPYRIGHT these. They are GREEK LETTERS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_letters_used_in_mathematics,_science,_and_engineering

This is moronic. Wolfhome does not have the right to copyright greek letters. END OF STORY.
I don't care what ANYONE says, I have my own opinion.
It's not theirs to claim as their own. :/
Anyway...
To get on with life...
If Wolfhome is giving you guys crap about "copyright" Greek letters..
I have nothing more to say than Wolfhome hasn't the right to claim them.

Yeah, I am not sure on what grounds they could try and claim copyright at all really. Should try and contact someone though and try and resolve this issue to prevent any delays of this chat being made.

Someone should contact Underdog about this matter.

The IMAGES are copyrighted, but we removed them. The WH forums blocked out advertisement because our forums 'looked exactly like WH forums'

I've never been on the WH forums because whenever I try and make a account for it, it never gets accepted, but if I am correct, forumotion has somewhat of a limit on what you can do with design ect. Besides you guys n Gals add a little bit of OOTB touch it. Now I kind of want to get a account accepted just to see what the WH forums look like.

The images never looked like Wolfhome's. o-o
At least, in the time I was here.
Unless they mean rank graphics, they can't copyright those either.
Idk.
