Changes to the forum

[Pyros]

REPUTATION

Rep has been introduced into the forums, the proper way of using it is as follows:

DO NOT GIVE SLANDEROUS OR RACIST COMMENTS WHEN GIVING REP. Any user should report this to me if it happens.
Do not try to take REVENGE with rep. It is a system to promote good posts and smart discussion as well as helpful users.
Rep counts as +2 or -1 for the type of rep you are giving. In the case of admins/mods we can give +/-10 rep.
You maybe find that there are certain ways to increase your rep influence.
Users with under 50 posts can give rep but that will not do anything to users.
REP WILL BE DISABLED FOR USERS ABUSING IT (you cannot give it out but you can receive it still, but i will personally demote you 10 points). THAT MEANS SLANDEROUS/RUDE COMMENTS AND GIVING REP WHERE IT IS NOT DESERVED ABUSIVELY

SOCIAL GROUPS + FRIENDS + VISTOR MESSAGES
Miscellaneous Things Really

Add your own group!
Get your friends to join! Add friends to your account!
Have a picture with your group and uhh fancy stuff!
People can leave messages on your user cp!


Tagging... woes and oh noes

Tagging threads that are NOT YOUR OWN has been disabled. Yes this means that if you want to tag horse ***** you must do it on your own thread.
Tags are meant to help people search. So please make them USEFUL AND RELEVANT
Elites can tag ANY thread... I trust them THAAAT much


Prefixing Threads: Fixing before you break it!

Prefixing a thread means you can easily allow others to see just what exactly you are posting about. (Whether it be a Buy, Sell, etc.)
Please do not use prefixes for no reason at all. They are there to help the members of these forums to find what they are looking for easier.
Do suggest what prefixes may be applied as I do not have some all encompassing list.


Some better defense against porn

Some nasty registration question added.
reCaptchca should be implemented
and uhh... YEAH!



Any further suggestions can go to the suggestions thread or just directly PM me. I'll be doing some tweaking on the forum for the next little while.

Pyros

[incognito]

Very nice, thank you.

[VFS]

Put a skin up =/

[moonmi]

yea I noticed the changes just a minute ago and went here to see whats up. THX senior members FTW!!!:smile

[Teddybear]

I like all the ideas except for the rep thinger. I just feel like people are going to give negative reps for no reason.

[moonmi]

Naw i dont think people will randomly post negatives. Why waste your time trying to lower peoples rep?

[RefBoost]

I just created a thread about Reputation now, check it out. Pyros, you are great dude! :thumbs

[k1ng0fr1]

Question.

Why is my main account under moderation review, and my pms disabled? Honestly I don't see why my account is under these restrictions, cause its kind of dumb, seeing how I never did anything bad other then fighting with members. If that's the case my account is on some type of detention lock down that's just plain dumb to be honest.

There are people here that should be banned for good, or should be warned on a daily basis but they seem to get away with it, but I do one thing(maybe) and I'm on lockdown lol. This whole thing is funny.

The only person to do this to my account is Pyros, so can I get a response Pyros on why this is happening to my account and plenty of others are on this forum with nothing happening to them.

I would like a answer before you ban me from here or whatever you feel like doing. But this is messed up big time.

This is Knicks!

[mrhappyasthma]

How come some of my reps have a green light and some have a blank light? By the comments it appears that they are both positive.

[silent_ninja]

thanks man


and gifs as avitars makes me happy

[mrhappyasthma]

Why was my signature eliminated? I am not a lower end member :(

[vallu]

As requested by many of you and also as many of you know, changes to the forum have been implemented. I'd like to first off note that these are just a series of changes that will be implemented and that there will be more to come.

(not sure if these user group controls work yet)
- New users will not be able to start threads (in certain areas) nor post pictures in order to reduce spam and porn.
- Users of lower rank won't have signature rights as this will decrease the spamming of ref links etc which has become a problem
- Users of higher ranks will get fancier stuff like gifs for their avatars etc pictures in this sig maybe :P
- Rep has been added, please use this appropriately. It's to help the community become more productive not to diminish it.

Any further suggestions can go to the suggestions thread or just directly PM me. I'll be doing some tweaking on the forum for the next little while.

Pyros
Awesome, now If only someone would respond to my support ticket :disgust . It's been 1 week guys.

[MaximoMilkman]

Muggsy left awhile back.. Now we got some new staff.. they are not better then muggsy they have new servers now which can handle sigs and gifs so he figured he would implement them at least thats what i think.

[Doug]

how much rep do you need to become an elite?

[Cookies]

how much rep do you need to become an elite?

I bet it's like 50.

[Doug]

well jspike is prolly really close to that.

[BypassHacker]

BUMP!

Pyros

:eek:
A mod just bumped something!?

[NOCReaper]

How do you know if your an Elite?

[Doug]

it says you would have a different colored name.

[KoopaStriker]

Cool, hopefully the forums will be cleaner. This is excellent!:banana

[Lavathing9]

How about images in sigs for elites? Also, I want elite =D

[Pyros]

I might make a level beyond Elite for signature picture rights.

If I havent already given that out... hahah... Maybe i'll remove it in future updates ^^.

That and custom user titles

Pyros

[Calecarz]

maybe a new template :D

but pics in sigs will be easily abused for juniors

[Pyros]

maybe a new template :D

but pics in sigs will be easily abused for juniors

Wont happen. Pics in sigs will only ever be allowed for users Elite and above.

Define Elite.

Hmm...

Long time trusted users of Rewards1's forums. Known to either: provide help to members, generate good discussion, support the forums, be well respected, etc.

Something along those lines :D?

Agreed. It is my opinion that only honest trustworthy individuals with integrity should deserve this position.
People like knuckles, and NOC.

Didn't knuckles quit? =/

Hmm... well who else do you think? I think we should have an election:banana

[mrhappyasthma]

I vote me!! :thumbs

[Pyros]

Agreed. It is my opinion that only honest trustworthy individuals with integrity should deserve this position.
People like knuckles, and NOC.

Unfortunately not being here long enough makes it so that you all have an even playing ground to determine that ;D

Trustworthy, integrity, etc etc are hard to measure elements of a person. Especially online.

So I can't just jump ship immediately and give these titles away o_O

If you sink i'll give you rep to keep you afloat :thumbs

Pyros

[MeLonpan]

Everything seems cool, i'm just questioning the rep option.

[manbearpig123987]

Wait for Elites you need to get a lot of rep first?

[rlmayes1]

This is good I guess. At least now I know the rules before I just spam stuff in my sig, lol.

[NOCReaper]

You just want animated avatars now -_-;;

But elite isnt going to be static. There will be room for change. And more ranks to obtain eventually. I like your naming style too :D

Maybe i'll take a few ideas from you ;D

I JUST WANT REP! avvi,


i just want you to admit it NOC!:mad:

[NOCReaper]

Lol, the only thing I care about in this forum is helping little newbies out, selling ref guides, and thats about it, who gives about special avatars, pictures in sigs, or being called Overlord... It doesnt matter, its a stature on a ONLINE FORUM.

I rest my case.

SHABANNNG HOME SLICE!

[mrhappyasthma]

I care :frown

[NOCReaper]

I care :frown

Lol, of course I care *kinda* but honestly I could be without the forum, its where I make my pocket cash tho ;]

[RefBoost]

i know you are sell sell sell, for all i care go sell somewhere else and leave, i hope you get no rep.

[NOCReaper]

nah, I get 10-15 rep points a day saying how AMAZING my guides and services are ;] rapidfire controllers is so my new thing. And I make $70 at least on it.

EDIT: LOL Thanks Rebs ;]

[RefBoost]

i hope you get your positives to balance your negatives

[NOCReaper]

Thanks! Nice Chatting with ya

[Rave]

guys how much rep do you need to become an elite?

[rlmayes1]

My guess is you probably need thousands of posts since I see senior members with 1,600 posts and they aren't even elite yet.

[Rave]

Yes, I have also messaged him about many different things. He usually replies fast.

i know but hes logged out

[RefBoost]

im saying idk 50, 100? um this rep thing just came in to play with the one whos asking above. even senior members and junior members started on the same page, its not about post count to be an elite member.

[Pyros]

Oh I'd just like to add now that I've decide that anyone obsessively abusing rep comments ( aka posting inappropriate messages, slanderous or otherwise ) and rep for that matter ( aka giving out +/- rep for no reason again ) SHOULD be reported to me.

If my background checks cover the story then I will remove that user's ability to give rep. ^^ so play nice! :thumbs

Pyros

[NOCReaper]

Lol, im glad you put the names up there, I got stuff from johnny saying this totally random junk :P I wonder who the first Elite member will be :O

[ddh1122]

[FiZiX]

Is there a new rule about editing posts? I can't edit mine anymore...

If there is a new rule you should add something about it to the first post.

RANKS

Newbies CAN POST IN ALL THREADS AND STUFF. BUT WILL NOT SEE BUY SELL AND TRADE

Newbies will be able to post within a day of activity, as they will be promoted to "New User"
Newbies are represented in grey... (as of current, there are some bugs with users of long time users being newbies...)
Upon obtaining 50 posts and some other requirements users will have their signatures activated by ascending rank to Registered Users
Aside from signatures, Newbies are essentially the same as Registered Users



Registered users will retain all normal permissions

Regular users have a PM storage amount of 50, can use signatures, and may use profile pictures/avatars.
Upon reaching certain criteria (which no one as attained yet) you may become an Elite

Elites are granted special permissions etc.

To become elite you may have to get some decent rep up first ^^
Elites have larger PM storage up to 100 messages I believe
Elites may use animated avatars in their pictures. Just for kicks.
Elites will have a different colored name as well.
Elites will be allowed pictures in their signatures. (NOT GIFs)

REPUTATION

RANKS

Newbies CAN POST IN ALL THREADS AND STUFF. BUT WILL NOT SEE BUY SELL AND TRADE

Newbies are represented in grey... (as of current, there are some bugs with users of long time users being newbies...)
Upon 7 days of usage, with either 100 posts or 16 rep users will have their signatures activated by ascending rank to New Users
Aside from signatures, Newbies are essentially the same as New User


New Users are ESSENTIALLY Registered Users

New Users can use signatures
New users are represented in turquoise (greenish blue)
Users will rank up to "registered" users when they have been here for a month and earned 250 posts or 25 rep.
THERE IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN REGISTERED USERS AND NEW USERS ASIDE FROM THEIR NAME COLOR FOR NOW. Suggestions are welcome.

Pyros

Does that mean that new users rep will count now?

[Rave]

quit bumping old threads

[Boxxy]

How dare you talk to Pyros like that!!!

[ZorkZork69]

quit bumping old threads

Yeah. Go to the page before this one. Pyros bumped it. Not us.

[SolidSnake]

bump.. my bump..

[skaterbro9000]

omfg STOP BUMPING THIS OLD THREAD i was infracted for bumping a 1 month old thread and you guys might be infracted too.

[Pyros]

Bump.

Slight changes. Its easier to get to registered user status.
Anyone can use sigs. Its just a matter of using picture sigs.
No more tagging to elites. You guys abused that too much. I think I will remove tagging from the forum forever ... maybe ;D
Adjusted the sizes of your PM boxes... I hope thats enough.
Elites may EVENTUALLY get preselected (hand selected, I'm looking at you dommyzd) instead of auto bumped through reputation. But I'm sure it'll be awhile down the line.

wow sick pyros, i like how ur not elite for rep anymore

[pudge1]

Why 125 rep just to become a regestered user?

[Dommzyd]

Bump.

Slight changes. Its easier to get to registered user status.
Anyone can use sigs. Its just a matter of using picture sigs.
No more tagging to elites. You guys abused that too much. I think I will remove tagging from the forum forever ... maybe ;D
Adjusted the sizes of your PM boxes... I hope thats enough.
Elites may EVENTUALLY get preselected (hand selected, I'm looking at you dommyzd) instead of auto bumped through reputation. But I'm sure it'll be awhile down the line.

REPUTATION

Rep has been introduced into the forums, the proper way of using it is as follows:

DO NOT GIVE SLANDEROUS OR RACIST COMMENTS WHEN GIVING REP. Any user should report this to me if it happens.
Do not try to take REVENGE with rep. It is a system to promote good posts and smart discussion as well as helpful users.
Rep counts as +2 or -1 for the type of rep you are giving. In the case of admins/mods we can give +/-10 rep.
You maybe find that there are certain ways to increase your rep influence.
Users with under 50 posts can give rep but that will not do anything to users.
REP WILL BE DISABLED FOR USERS ABUSING IT (you cannot give it out but you can receive it still, but i will personally demote you 10 points). THAT MEANS SLANDEROUS/RUDE COMMENTS AND GIVING REP WHERE IT IS NOT DESERVED ABUSIVELY

SOCIAL GROUPS + FRIENDS + VISTOR MESSAGES
Miscellaneous Things Really

Add your own group!
Get your friends to join! Add friends to your account!
Have a picture with your group and uhh fancy stuff!
People can leave messages on your user cp!


Tagging... woes and oh noes

Tagging threads that are NOT YOUR OWN has been disabled. Yes this means that if you want to tag horse ***** you must do it on your own thread.
Tags are meant to help people search. So please make them USEFUL AND RELEVANT
Elites can tag ANY thread... I trust them THAAAT much


Prefixing Threads: Fixing before you break it!

Prefixing a thread means you can easily allow others to see just what exactly you are posting about. (Whether it be a Buy, Sell, etc.)
Please do not use prefixes for no reason at all. They are there to help the members of these forums to find what they are looking for easier.
Do suggest what prefixes may be applied as I do not have some all encompassing list.


Some better defense against porn

Some nasty registration question added.
reCaptchca should be implemented
and uhh... YEAH!



Any further suggestions can go to the suggestions thread or just directly PM me. I'll be doing some tweaking on the forum for the next little while.

u need at least 150 posts and at least 10 rep in order to be a senior member. :)

[Vontemixmaster]

Get rid of rep. its bad for the community as it causes unwanted spam and a means of p****'s to harm a user without giving a reason or identification.

[Chiski]
