Hello, I'm Yellows

[AceInfinity]

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say.

I joined more than a year ago (Friday, September 24th, 2010)

Now for example, if I never received the feather, yet I was already at 4000 some odd posts which is what i'm at now, I could probably still get away with being accepted for the fact that my will to get the feather and the date I joined the forum I can't change. If the rules still applied to me, then obviously I would be out of luck and would never be able to get my feather...

There has to be compensation for members that joined before this rule or new system of PMing Sam to become accepted.
