If you're getting that orange skulk icon next to your name and don't know why, it's likely that your WONID is on the list of playtesters. If you feel this is an error (such as if it's supposed to show you as a Constellation member instead), I'd suggest you read <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/wonid.html' target='_blank'>these instructions to find out what you WONID is</a>, and contact someone in charge to let them know your current WONID and your situation.
Alternatively, you can post it here and hope it gets their attention. I could have it arranged, but can't help you unless you do post your WONID here to begin with. Unlike your Half-Life, Counter-Strike, or Day of Defeat CD-Keys, it <i>is</i> safe to give out your WONID. Posting your CD Key is considered as promoting piracy and is grounds for immediate action on our part.

If you "accidently" get the playtester icon, would you HONESTLY want to give it away?
Maybe if you replaced it with a special icon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.
