Anyone know the membership levels thing works ?

[MNZ]

I just noticed I've been elevated to the illustrious heights of now being a full member.

I'm not even sure how that happened, but I suspect it's got something to do with the number of posts made.

Anyone know for sure if that is the case and how it works ?

 

[RatInDaHat]

No idea really. could be post count, time, a mixture of the two?

I have no idea.

 

[Nazareth]

it's based on the number of lies we tell I think- jk- it's the postcount usually- we gabby gabbers go up in rank pretty quick while the lurkers who don't post much don't

I must be a gabby gabber..

Nazareth,

If we are gabby gabbers then what is TropicalBob with over 1,000 posts? LOL

 

[Nazareth]

TB is a phenomoenom that hasn't quite been medically determined yet

 

[TropicalBob]

Cashmere said TB was a "post .....".

 

[dnakr]

Poor TB - I'm sure he meant it in a nice way... LOL

 

[Spider]

Maybe he meant that you used to be a ..... and you're now in the post ..... period of your life TB. Just Kidding!

[TropicalBob]

It was fine. TB does have a sense of humor, to go along with his indignation streak.

I'm not so sure now membership status is dependant on the number of posts made.

Perhaps it's an honor bestowed upon us by the gods on high

All hail the gods ... bugger, my karma just ran over my dogma

Membership level kicks in above certain numbers of posts.

There is no advantage in being above a "full-member", since that is when all forum privileges kick in.

Users from the old board will remember that to start a thread in the new system, they had to be (manually, by myself) added to a special group before they could do so.

Well the same thing happens now, except that it happens automatically when members meet certain criteria and become "full members".

That's all, except that I thought at some point I'd have a bit of fun devising new ranks for post numbers.

Maybe I shall start with 1000+ = "post ....."

 

[dnakr]

Maybe I shall start with 1000+ = "post ....."

LOL - he will always carry that title. Maybe he should add it to his signature. What do ya think TB?

 

[MNZ]

Well bugger me ... I've now been elevated to even loftier heights .... to that of senior member
Does this mean my **** is going to rot and fall off ?

LOL, seriously, my thanks to the gods on high for this elevation of status.

All hail the gods ... all hail the gods ...

Damn, my bloody karma ran over my dogma again ... get out of the road you stupid mongrel, how many times do I need to yell at you ????

Thanks SJ if it was you that did it

 

[TropicalBob]

I don't think many here are aware that rank is awarded much as in the military. Junior members have a single e-cig, senior members get a little e-cigar decoration, moderators are given a star, and post whores are given a medal depicting a Smiley with an e-cig hanging out of its mouth.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that the Smiley medal failed within a week and has been returned to China for replacement.

 

[MNZ]

As we speak, there are failed, note I used the F word, failed units winging their way back to the land of sinitic speakers.

Praise be to the replacers of failed units, for their names shall be forever held upon high.

(paraphrased) rep-li-cate, rep-li-cate, rep-li-cate

 

[Oliver]

ooh I like the medals idea! If someone could rustle up the images I could certainly install them.

By the way, I am going to change some of the user groups so that members have extra privileges.

 

[Mr.Darcy]

im a super member SJ...what do i get for that?

 

[Oliver]

Will a high five do?

 

[Mr.Darcy]

i suppose so...
do i have to wear my y-fronts over my trousers now?
