New page

A user is a person with an account created on wajas. This person has the same rights as any user starting out, but may have them revoked if behavior shows this is necessary. For example, if a user was misbehaving on the forums, then they might lose the privilege to post their. Users are allowed 2 accounts max per person, but aren't required any.

Users can do various things such as buy and sell wajas/items, post on the forums, private message (PM) another user, and many other things. Users will sometimes become cave partners, where two users share an account.

 ==User ID==
-Each user on Wajas has their own User Identification number (also called "Account number" or "User ID"). This number represents the number of accounts which have been created on the site up until the account in question was created; for example, if an account's ID is 120187, that means that it was the 120,187th account created.  Lower account numbers generally signify that the owner has been on the site for a long time (though not always, see next paragraph), and as such carry inherent prestige to many users.

The lower the account number, the more valuable the account tends to be,  with 3, 2, or single digit IDs being the most valuable.

 ==Usernames==
 A username, also known as a display name or nickname, is the name by which a [[user]] is identified on wajas.  This is not to be confused with a login name (which is the name you enter when logging into the site and cannot be changed).  It is advised that you not have your username and login name be the same, as this could make it easier for someone to break into your account.
-While the primary purpose of a username is give players a name by which they can identify you, many players utilize their usernames to quickly convey information to other users.  This includes, but is not limited to, advertising their sales (i.e. "Qwerty has sales!") and letting other users know that they are away or busy ("Qwerty - On Hiatus").

Around the holidays it has become a tradition to change your username to something festive (Such as "Ghostly Tailz" for halloween vs just "Tailz".)
 ===Changing your username===
-Because user accounts are primarily identified by their [[user ID]], the name displayed for a user is freely changeable at any time.  To edit your user name, go to Home -> Account Setup.   The default tab will be "Profile", but if for some reason it is not click the "Profile" tab.  From here you will be able to see a field labeled "Nickname".  It is in this field that you can enter your new user name.  Simply press "submit" when you're satisfied.
