Would it be possible to show both the original and modified start date for when someone has been demoted?

Should be done. I cant remember all the times I asked people why they were killed over this.haha.

Alternatively Add in a section for Date last demoted, and keep the start date as the date of the original character conception.

I don't see the point in this, other than to say "You've been demoted for bodyguard's or you fucked up." Neither of which would provide good information. Plus many people with Very Well Protected or higher BG tier labelling have been demoted at some point.

It provides an accurate start date.

I currently have posts and threads from before I was alive.

True, but you don't keep the XP from those, however I do feel it would be nice to know personally, just was curious what your thoughts were for it as far as uses :P

I really dislike seeing people 2 days old with 6000 mails.

It just looks ridiculous. No inherent value, just a cosmetic change.

Aye, but then again there are some players I've seen with 1000-1500 mails by Earner. Ridiculous, who could they be spamming so much?!

Some people might not have IRC or MSn installed and therefore carry out all conversations via MM, tis strange but true.

I personally like the idea. Even if it's not exactly what he proposed, it'd be nice to be able to see our start date at the very least in our own management/profile page.

I know this isn't particularly important, but I guess over the coming weeks/months we are going to see many demotions and new start dates. Can we either revert to the original start date system but make the min timed be re-earned, or add original start date to profiles?

(If you could move me to the left on Colin on the 60 second list as well, that would be great)
