What does "registered user" mean?
Can anyone point me in the direction of an answer (if it has been previously addressed?) What causes someone to be listed as a "Registered User" (as opposed to "Evangelist", "Banned", "Guest", etc.)-- is there any significance?

"Congratulations, ********, on your 5th Banning!" Of course ******** won't be able to thank everyone for their words of congratulations unless he registers a fake handle.

Can Canarsie start an Omni "Who Will Be The Next Flyer Talker To Be Banned Thread"?
If so, how would it work? Would it apply to posts which were made before the prediction? (Eg: I post an objectionable letter at 8 am, somebody reads it at 8:15 and predicts I will be banned). Or would it only apply to letters not yet posted?
Would moderators, who can do the banning, be allowed to be part of the game or would this be a conflict of interest?
Could someone predict that he, himself, would be the next to be banned and in the same post violate the TOS to make his prediction come true?
I think we should have these rules spelled out before-hand.

A better suggestion would be to dedicate songs to those FlyerTalk members who have been banned songs such as:
- Leader of the Banned by Dan Fogelberg
- Banned On The Run by Paul McCartney & Wings
- Im Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Banned by the Moody Blues
- Were an American Banned by Grand Funk Railroad
- Sargeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Banned by The Beatles
- Banned of Gold by Freda Payne
Then, we could drive opus17 bananas by burning these (and other) songs illegally onto compact discs. The album could be called The Best (or Worst) of the FlyerTalk Banneds. They could be sold and a fortune could be made!
On second thought maybe this is not such a good idea after all...

If so, how about including McNamara's Ragtime Banned?

Would it be wrong to have left it already if there was more advantage to being on the right than on the left, or should it be left alone whether or not it is right or wrong?
If it is all right to be on the left, one could rightly write that right is right until their last rites, and that is their right if one left it alone.

Ah, what could I expect from somebody who does not come from right side of the tracks?
(Specifically, the IRT tracks. Flatbush is the right side, of course, while Canarsie...)

You need to be trained on how to tie your thoughts to the same connection as to the topic of the thread unless you have a really loco motive for railroading this discussion.
Please coallect your thoughts and let us discuss the topic of what Registered User means...
