Administrators Popular Post Amethyst Posted September 14, 2015 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll try and make this as quick as possible. And subsequently fail. First up, we're distributing the existing RP forum mod duo to other forums-- not that they won't be around the RP forum still but we're looking to let them see a little action elsewhere. As such from now on Hukuna will be moderating the new Animation forum, and Murdoc will be representing the people of the Wasteland. You might think it's weird that the Wasteland would need a mod. However, it has a pretty recurring problem in that, much like the in-game Byxbysion Wasteland, things tend to show up there that don't really have a reason to be there. In other words there's a lot of topics posted in the Wasteland that are better suited to other sections, so it is important they get moved out and organized. Anyway, I get that. As members you're not always totally clear on what forum is for what and what topic should go where. And as it is there's not really a clearly organized place where you can ask questions about the site and community like that. So we're adding one! You'll notice the new Site Help forum in the Grand Hall, which exists to filter out and handle any questions new (or old?) users might have about the site, how to use it, proper etiquette and rules around here, where certain kinds of topics should go, and so on. If you've got lingering concerns, I'd suggest heading down there to see if you can resolve them. Of course, I'll encourage staff and veteran/ace members to represent the community by helping point the lost in the proper directions. Speaking of staff and veteran/ace members, we've made some changes to adjust permissions of the various user groups, following up on a comment I made about doing so back when Familiars/Veterans were introduced. Ace Members have always had higher permissions than normal users, but I feel it's only fair that the same applies to the other groups as well. As such, you'll notice some settings have been tweaked. Here's a run-down of the new settings for each member group: GROUP ------------------ Members ----- Familiars ----- Veterans ----- Aces ----- Staff Max Notifications: . . . . . . . . 50 . . . . . . . . . 60 . . . . . . . . . . 75 . . . . . . . 100 . . . . . 125 Max PM Invites: . . . . . . . . . . 5 . . . . . . . . . . .6 . . . . . . . . . . . 8 . . . . . . . . 10 . . . . . . 13 Max saved PMS: . . . . . . . . . 50 . . . . . . . . 100 . . . . . . . . . 150 . . . . . . . 200 . . . . . 300 Rep/day to give: . . . . . . . . . 10 . . . . . . . . . 12 . . . . . . . . . . 15 . . . . . . . . 20 . . . . . . 25 Upload space (KB): . . . . . . . 500 . . . . . . . 750 . . . . . . . . . 1000 . . . . . . 1500 . . . . 2000 The only thing there that is any sort of a decrease from existing amounts is the rep-per-day limit, which has been taken down just so we can make people think a little more about which posts they should be up-voting, as opposed to just clicking the 'Like' button on every meme on the site. I mean, that still might happen. But baby steps. Meme on, frens. But that brings us to our last topic, Reputation, which a handful of people have already noticed a change. Since we've made the rep a little more exclusive I've taken the liberty of (finally) going through and putting proper levels and titles on the rep values. Here's what the beginning of that progression looks like: 0----- Neutral 5----- Fledgling 25--- Developing 50--- Samaritan 100-- Benefactor 250-- Altruist 500-- Noble 1000- Sage There's some more after that of course, but there's no need to go that far here. Although some of the later ones are oddly specific titles, aren't they? I wonder why that is. Until next time! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Benefactor, nope, definitely not me at all. Probably the opposite if you ask me. Though I do suppose it's nice after the #VinnyEffect had emerged. Wait...there's a limit on how many rep points we give in a day. I probably didn't even realize it because I don't even give 20 rep points in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not enough bicycle tires for me RIP Joke I'll never reach you now rip Vinny effect I didn't gave the name but oh well... Btw, I think it should say somewhere that the "Site Help" section can house server related questions too, just in case. And one more thing Ame: Seeing as this was changed, can you go ahead and say what was the Ace's old upvote limit? Because I don't think there was one. And GJ Hukuna and Murdoc for stepping up to the borders thing. Do watch the trash please Murdoc ;__; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumble Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Murdoc is in charge of the Wasteland and not Bigglesworth? :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacos Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just as a follow up to what Ame said in regards to the Site Help subforum, make sure, especially if you're a member that's joined within the past few months, that you check out the Site Help subforum as it could include valuable information that could be very useful to you in case you missed it when you first joined. Additionally, in these informative topics that are a bit older, any necro posts made within them will be forgiven for a short period of time, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you deem necessary.

Meruem Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 would it be possible to have an anime/manga room on showdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGJRA Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Smart changes - although I suppose I'll have to get used to not being complimented everytime I click on my user page by it calling me "great!" Oh well xD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvan Korematsu Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 A Samaritan eh? Like ole Commando, I usually think of myself way farther away from a Samaritan than anything else. Inb4 I get upvoted for this. I'd do an upvote for an upvote. Shiet if one gets upvoted by me at all, you'd be honored, because I doubt I've upvoted even 5 times since I joined. Can't wait for the Ace tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted September 14, 2015 Global Mods Share Posted September 14, 2015 I noticed the change in the reputation titles, but I just figured the titles were moved back in terms of how much rep was required for them. I didn't know a whole new system was made . o . nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ikaru Posted September 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 14, 2015 would it be possible to have an anime/manga room on showdown? If someone pays for the room I can do that and set whatever owners they want and what have you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meruem Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 though i'm kinda poor and wanted to save some rupees, i don't mind paying for it. also, there are people who contribute more to the anime/manga subforum so they should probably have a word on this before it's created.

Commander Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (Has Showdown Room Item in inventory) Well, I suppose it is for a good cause. Not like I'm going use it for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tringus Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just out of curiosity, but what was the old amount of Upload Space members and Ace Members could get? I'm thinking it was 1000, but I can't be too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 If I recall correctly, it used to be 500 KB for regular members. I'm not sure if mine went up to 1000 at Ace or Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shing Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Woah, we actually needed a mod for wasteland. Alrighty. And fair on the rep. I do want to see the posts that i like instead of memes and such. Only thing is it's going to ruin some bit like funny picture thread somewhat. And i like the new reps name. It's about we needed a change and these fits well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuthorReborn Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Since we're already adding a bit of order to forums, shouldn't "PSA: The Way of the Bump, and How To Do So," and "Where to put your topics!" which are currently pinned in the Community Announcements sub-forum be relocated to the new Site Help sub-forum?

mde2001 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Congrats to both of you. Now I'm even more impatient to become a familiar/ veteran/ ace! More upload space means more save files uploaded and less having to delete files that people haven't downloaded yet! These updates (and new forum) all seem great Ame! Keep up the good work.
