MadJedi's profile

Welcome to my profile! If you have any questions about the website, don’t hesitate leaving me a message or asking me on chat.

You can find me in the Labyrinth chatroom; whenever I am on Kongregate, I am very likely to be here. I’m a regular in this room since late summer of 2011 thanks to its owner, Live2Die, now known as VforVendetta, that convinced me to leave Pride for Labyrinth, formerly known as Purple Haze.

Chatting FAQ

What is spam?

Spam is a post that doesn’t bring anything to a conversation; a post that merely destroys its flow. Ascii and alt codes are considered as spam. Uppercase letters should be limited to grammatical purposes. A message repeated multiple times and/or sent in a small time span also might be considered as spam since it can disturb the chat’s flow.

What is the limit between permitted and forbidden in swears?

Mild swearing is allowed most of the time as long as it is not directed at any users. If you abuse with swearing, it’s not alright either.

Can I post links to external websites?

Yes you can, but these exclude links to shock sites, pornographic sites or any other links that might disturb the chat flow. Please do not repetitively post links; if users are not visiting the link, they simply are not interested in it.

What is roleplaying?

Roleplaying is when a user accomplishes virtual actions through words. Mild roleplaying is allowed to express your feelings but can disrupt the chat’s flow if used without moderation. An example of excessive roleplaying would be a user creating a story out of his/her roleplaying actions. However, there are two chat rooms in Kongregate where this is tolerated: “Roleplaying – 1” and “Roleplaying – Serious”.

Why is there an age limit for signing up on Kongregate?

Kongregate is an American website and therefore must comply to the laws of its country. One of them is the COPPA, which forbids websites to collect information from children under the age of 13. Creating an account and using it on this website involves sharing some information, which is why it is forbidden to persons under the age of 13. However, there is no age limit for playing on this website as a guest; without an account.

I see that some users have an icon near their name, what do those mean?

A person icon means that you are following this user. A blue D icon means that the user is a developer. Developers are users that uploaded a game on Kongregate. An orange M icon means that the user is a moderator. An orange R icon means that the user is the room owner of the current room. An orange C icon means that the user is a curator. Curators are moderators in charge of the Arts&Sounds Kongregate section. An orange F icon, which only is seen in the forums, means that the user is the forum moderator of the current forum section. A red K icon means that the user is member of the Kongregate staff and, finally, the K+ icon signifies that the user is subscribed to Kongregate+. If you see that users have another type of icon near their names, that means that they completed the current limited quest.

What is Kongregate+?

Kongregate+ is a paid service ($29.99/year) which gives its users a few bonuses such as the absence of advertisement in the website, the possibility of personalizing their account with various skins, access to games in beta and the possibility of creating private chat rooms.

What is the difference between a ‘silence’ and a ‘ban’?

Silences temporarily remove the ability to communicate in the website from a user. A silence affects every mean of communication with the community at the same time; forums, chat rooms, comments and messages. A silenced user still can play games and earn awards on his account. Bans render an account inaccessible to its user. In conclusion, the difference between both is that silences merely block the possibility to communicate with others while letting the user play games and getting awards.

How can I change my Kongregate gender?

You can by using Chrome’s inspect element feature or FireFox’s Firebug addon.

Chrome: First, go to your main profile page and select “edit profile”, which should be located at the top of the screen, under your username. Afterwise, highlight “male”, right click on the highlighted section and select “inspect element”. A menu should appear on the lower part of your screen. Change all instances of the word “male” to the word of your choice by right clicking on the appropriate lines and selecting “edit as HTML”. When it is done, close the inspect element tab, check male (Which should now be replaced by your word) and click “save”.

Firefox: First, download the Firebug addon here. When the installation is complete, the firebug button should be located in the lower-right part of your desktop. Go to your main profile page, select “edit profile” and click the firebug button. A menu should appear at the bottom of your screen. Scroll down until you find “male” and change all instances of the word to the word of your choice. When it is done, close Firebug, select male (Which is now replaced by your word) and press “save”.
