I use <> to act out commands such as
/cs register <password> <email>
it shows that this is suppose to be replaced with the information it says.

For actions it is suppose to be the stars *kicks a random person*

Did you completely miss the point of the question?
/cs register <password> <email>
password and e-mail is not an action. The /cs register part would be an action beacuse the action you are doing is registering. You are not passwording or e-mailing. You're registering. Furthermore, on the chatrooms, the correct answer would be that you use /me for an action.

I use the asteriks. *eats a cookie*

Apparently the asterisk is not out-dated -- even if it is old-school.

I seem to remember being able to edit polls on my posts...it might just be that your last option is disappearing. it does that sometimes. try putting an extra random one as the last one and see if it works. if not...a mod will have to do it after all.
