Post Count & Members' Ranks

[DataMore]

If you're going to start posting in this forum, then there are a couple of things you should know about posts.

Post Count

· Posts will count in all board areas. Post counts are no longer visible in the normal forum view. If you are really desparate to check how many posts a member has, you can check their profile.

How do I learn more about a member ?
By clicking the 'member posts' link, you can now get a much better idea of what a member is like from what they post.

Actions speak louder than postcounts !


Members' Ranks

Whenever you achieve a certain number of posts, your rank, as a member, will change.

· Members' Normal Ranks:

Newcomer = 0 - 49 posts (1 star)
Member = 50 - 499 posts (2 stars)
Sr. Member = 500-1999 posts (3 stars)
Sr. Member = 2000-4999 posts (4 stars)
Post whore = 5000+ posts (5 stars)

If you want, you can always edit your member title by going to 'My Controls' > 'Edit Profile info' > 'Custom member title' or simply click here.
You can change it to whatever you like, but please don't use any kind of foul language or any other offensive or insulting remarks.

· Special Ranks (these have nothing to do with the number of posts. They are given by this board administrators):

Administrators (5 red stars)

Global Moderators (5 blue stars)

Area Moderators (5 green stars)

Forum Star (5 yellow / blue stars)
Indicate highly respected ex- team members and administrators

I wonder if it would be possible to email all newbies this when they first sign up......

[The Great Dude]

Cool, Datamore, now this might lower the questions of posting ranks.

[ugluk]

[SuperJude™]

Thus getting my vote the next time we need a new Moderator here.

Well he did it with stars..... and nr of posts... maybe that's it?

I hope they read this pinned one anyway... People are tended to ignore the Statistic pinned ones?
