10-post avatar name change limit popping up again?

[Rotolutundro]

In the pbp game I'm in, when I post as my alias Patch Cullen, I get the message that I can only post 10 times before the name becomes permanent, which I never got with my other aliases. The only other time I've seen it is when I first posted on the boards. Is there something weird going on here, or does that message show for all aliases now? I'd rather not change my original alias to Patch Cullen!

Patch Cullen is a relatively "new" alias, yes?

You're only allowed to post with that alias 10 times before that alias' name becomes permanent. It shouldn't affect your main messageboard name.

Ah, ok. I never got that message for any of my other aliases, which is why it surprised me. Thanks. :)

Yeah, I don't know why it hadn't occurred to us to do it before, but recently we started reminding people when they're posting with a new account or new alias about the 10-post limit before name changing.
