Credits


Credits are pratically the same things as the IPB points. You earn credits by how much letters/characters in your post. So if you just said "hello" in a post then you will get 5 points.


New Members

New Members are only allowed posting in two boards, Welcome Board and General Discussion. Once a member reaches 15 posts he will become a
"Member" and can post within any board.

The system runs through every hour on the 5'th minute. You may have to wait till the next update for your account to be changed. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Infractions
The vBulletin boards already have a warning/suspension/ban system set up. It works on a points system and we set it for 7 points is a temporary ban.

Spamming = 2 Infraction Points
Flaming = 2 Points
Trolling = 3 Points
Censor Bypassing = 1 Point
Porn = 50 Points (AutoBan)

Infractions only last for 10 days. Your record will be cleared.


That's all for now. Thanks!
~Windy.

I suggested the move to vBulletin because I know it better and think it is better for VGLan's purposes.

WTF
A ENTIRE BOARD JUST APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE
AND IMA POSTING ON IT.
lol.
I'll behave after I get 15 posts.
And I have no clue where my post count is.
So I'll guess.
Like, when I can see the 'other' boards, I'll behave.

I know it's hard to move onto a completely new system as a user, but trust me, it's even harder to do at the admin level.

We're working on it, if you have feature requests, PM me. I'll see what I can do.

What? I had half of a million points that I have been saving up since the place started in May! It will suck if I have to start over with them. Don't judge me "buddy".

Rindiny
January 13th, 2008, 03:51:22 PM
Don't complain about it here, just get another million. I have seen your posts in the past forum, and they prove to be all complaints. That's enough to judge a person, "buddy".

Sounds like a good system. I guess I just have to keep posting!

Hahaha! I complained? Sure. But let's not get into an argument. Oh, and it's actually pretty hard to get to 1,000,000 points, unless someone figured out a faster way than playing games and posting. So...I welcome you to the new forums Rindiny! Along with everyone else, WELCOME NEW FORUMS!

Interesting system there, Windy. Now, let's hope that members here (including the formely banned members) will behave well too.

Rindiny
January 13th, 2008, 04:15:42 PM
The new points system gives you points based on your activity, and the additional characters and/or words in your post. Longer posts = better.

Don't see the point in the restriction...it might turn people away.

I got 15 post and couldn't see the other boards, I then relogged and still couldn't see them, I then posted again ad relogged and still couldn't see it :(

Well, I'm liking the system better here, but still rather not start all over...

To tell you the truth I hated the idea of a new forum, but I can tell this is awesome. Just needs a few finishing touches & we'll be back on track.

Oh and now you can see who is viewing the thread. Yay.

Huh.

Well, now I know why there's only like two boards. I guess I need to up my posting for a short time here, because at three posts a day it'll take almost a week.

Glad to hear we're given more points for longer posts though. Hopefully that'll help flesh out the discussions and keep the not-so-witty one-word posts to a minimum.

Hmm....

But what about carrying over the Legends?

Gym Leader Lt.Surge
January 14th, 2008, 12:29:11 AM
Hmm....

Yeah...us Legends wouldn't mind our precious badge and board privliges back.

But it's the staff's decision on what we do with the Legends system.

You know. They do have a point. But what about our custom titles? I'm still known as VGLan's Old School Gamer, so how can we get that back?

PKMN Trainer Blue
January 14th, 2008, 01:16:18 AM
Unless there's an option to use credits to purchase member titles, I think we should make it where you can change it at any time, regardless of post count.

Many forums don't have a post count minimum on member titles.

As for Legends, shouldn't we wait until we have a bunch more members at least? Otherwise, it won't be as exclusive.

PKMN Trainer Red
January 14th, 2008, 01:34:43 AM
Er...oops! Forgot something! I was talking with Windy a couple days ago, and he said that we'll likely be starting over with the Legends.

Sorry guys...

Hey hey, does this mean I don't need 1000 posts to be eligible? I've only ever hit 1000 on one forum, in the dozen or so I'm on.

Oh well! A fresh start is always better, as far as i'm concerned. I'll await for what we'll have to do for that to even happen.

Wow, Getting points is a lot easier then. Each letter is a point. I just wonder how its possible to bypass the censorship.

This all looks pretty good, and I didn't have that many points/credits last time so I'm that bothered about the change. All I now if I can think of something to say over the next few posts until I can get back in the other areas.
