Acecombat 0 Posted October 31, 2003 One question when do you get a custom title ? I mean after how many posts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Posts 0 - 399 = ".." (1 star) Posts 400 - 799 = "Member" (2 stars) Posts 800 - 1499 = "Advanced Member" (3 stars) Posts 1500 - 3999 = "OF Fan" (4 stars) Posts 4000+ = "OF Maniac!" (5 stars) Anyone who doesn't have one of these titles is either: a.) A moderator, modmaker, team member, VIP or other personnel who are assigned a different designation b.) Have had their title changed by a moderator or other board official Bear in mind, though, that blatant spamming to increase your post count will most likely earn you a post count reduction, meaning those elusive stars take even longer to earn. Also, as most people know, asking a mod for a custom title can have unexpected results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecombat 0 Posted October 31, 2003 No i wasnt asking for a title ... Just wanting to know how things are sorted and one more thing how do you guys know whos a mod-maker and whos not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted October 31, 2003 I think the only people who are/will be mod-makers are the people who got to use O2 before it was publically released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Frenchman 0 Posted November 3, 2003 I dont understand why you dont delete all the old threads from 5 months or more ago. Doesnt it cost money to keep them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted November 3, 2003 We keep them there for research purposes. Suppose you had some kind of problem or you were looking for an old addon. If we deleted the old posts, you could use the "search" function and find nothing. By keeping them in the database, you can usually find what you're looking for.

The Frenchman 0 Posted November 3, 2003 But what about the many spamming threads? Or old offtopic threads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted November 3, 2003 Well, in those cases, we're just too lazy. If BIS wants them deleted, we'll delete them. But I think that's unnecessary right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Frenchman 0 Posted November 3, 2003 Well, in those cases, we're just too lazy. I had an idea that is what you'd say. Well you could make me a temporary mod so I could delete those many spam threads. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EiZei 0 Posted November 3, 2003 Even those offtopic threads have some kind of importance, on more than couple of occasions I had to search for them since I lost a certain link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 28 Posted November 4, 2003 If you two don't quit spamming the only title you'll be getting is "Dauragon/Skul went to spam land and all they brought me back was this lousy ban" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dauragon 0 Posted November 4, 2003 is there a way to get our post coutn number locked? except for PR, like you post and your postcount doesnt change ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 28 Posted November 4, 2003 I know of no current way that it is possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dauragon 0 Posted November 4, 2003 I know of no current way that it is possible Damn, would be a nice punishment for spammers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harnu 0 Posted November 4, 2003 The only way to really do that I would think is just keep resetting their post count to a certain number each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted November 4, 2003 2 things: 1: when will some mod reduce my box? because i am acting normal now for a long time of period. 2: if you are a VIP member and you spam all the time could the VIP status retrun in too normal member? if so....

EiZei 0 Posted November 4, 2003 Something tells me that constantly asking about reducing the boxes wont help the matter.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avon lady... Copying a moderator and trying to act like one are not normal behaviour. They are the kind of behaviour that may actually give you more boxes VIP status was voted for by the members for the members of the board. Whilst it is certainly possible for a VIP member to get banned, a VIP member would never lose his/her VIP position as "punishment". The only scenario I could imagine for a VIP person to lose his/her status is if there was a public vote on this. This is theoretical, however, not set in stone. EDIT: Forgot to add, if there are new elections for the new year, then the VIP persons may well lose their VIP status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Postduifje 0 Posted November 4, 2003 Nah, you shouldn't do that! Just make a 'VIP 2003' tag. Or if someone who's allready VIP wins it again, make him/her VIP 2002 and 2003'. That'll be somehing nice for our grandchildren to see if they play OFP7 and still visit these boards -Post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
