How many people can I put on ignore between now and the launch of EA - and, is there a way to bulk-block all the people who complain about the graphics? 

I second that notion :)

Be aware though, if you delete your account, you are forbidden from rejoining the forums.

Oh? Is there any way to work around this?

Sure.  Just don't read the KSP2 section of the forum until launch day.  It's less than three weeks away, anyway.  :sticktongue:

Regarding weird textbox behavior.. I think it just copied me something from another user because I don't remember ever typing what I saw lol.

I’ve had it do that for text I never posted months previous.     Any chance you’re  on a network with other forum users?

I'm on home wifi, password protected and all, so highly doubt it.

The only thing that comes to mind is that I clicked on a thread and there was someone else's post added "just now", wasn't there before the click, maybe I got what they were about to post but scratched. It kinda fitted in context.

I don't want this, just wondering if its possible.

Can you have no name?

I don't think you can have no name at all, but you can probably have an all-whitespace name (it's worth trying)
(Your best friend will be 0x0B (or \v) :))

Interesting question because well... Can you have a BEL character in your username? (0x07) Or some exotic Unicode character like ⨌ (U+2A0C) or ⌨ (U+2328)...
(I put one 0x07 character in each word "BEL" in this post btw)

Aaah it doesn't want my U+00012427

So, the question's already been answered ("no"), but in the (possibly futile) hope of forestalling further questions in this vein:

For any question of the form, "Can you do <obnoxious thing that would confuse fellow forum users and/or substantially complicate moderating>," the answer is always going to be "no".  ;)

Is it possible to ask that a thread will close on a certain date?

If you are the OP of the thread, we can close a thread for you.   And if you ask nicely ;) and don’t do it too often, yes we could set a thread to lock at a certain date or time, as long as there is a legitimate reason for the time lock.    I can’t tell you what those reasons would be, because it would be on a case by case basis.  Doing it just because you can is not good enough.    Also, if we deem the forum to be better served by keeping a thread open, we reserve the right to deny a lock request, timed or otherwise.
