I just happened to be viewing the source for the getting help page just before I lodged a request.

[code:1:4ecce1e643]<form method="POST">
<p><strong>Problem Description</strong></p>
<p>Another player is: <select name="problem" size="1">
<option value="1">Posting/sending abusive messages</option>
<option value="2">Cheating (controlling more than one UN member nation)</option>
<option value="3">Spamming</option>
<option value="4">Submitting inappropriate UN Proposals</option>
<option[/code:1:4ecce1e643] value="9"[code:1:4ecce1e643]>Other: Response to moderator</option>[/code:1:4ecce1e643]

The Section in qestion is bolded. Why does it jump from "1" "2" "3" "4" -to- "9"? Were there ever more options to choice from?

They might have a special reason for it being nine.... sometimes when I'm coding some terrain map, tile number 10 will be a water tile, 20-24 will be different types of land tiles...etc.

Of course, now that Salusa has answered, I'm just rambling here. :shock:

Possibly it is simply leaving the potential for more options to be added in the future should the need arise

Well then couldn't you just make it five and add 6, 7 and so forth later? :?

Violet is just odd like that. :shock:
