hmmm... about the new post things...

[Shadow]

Well, Its really cool that pots requirements have gone WAY down, but it has some bad points. The original one was good because of the fact that people had to Really work for their rank, and that would deter many (for lack of a better term) stupid people that cant take the time to read the rules and follow them. What these people fail to realize is that this isn't your place to come and be the thirty foot tall behemoth that can obliterate anything with one swipe of a paw, no weaknesses or anything.


the same with the people that decide not to read the rules whatsoever, and when the rules are shown to them, these people get angry. these are the people that will take advantage of the lower post counts by spamming.

Example of "Spam" (for those that might read this and not know)
iwal k inot teh arae and rais my hand a blast of flaming eneergy fill the area and everyone dies look into the ski and say i rule teh wolrd and iam king and then i will kill all who dont like me

That is an amazing piece of shiza. i believe I lost brain cells typing it.

I digress.
what I am trying to say is that the posting requirements should be higher for the first three levels, then once you are passed onto level four, the posting requirements are lower. that, and the tests should be chalenging
.... Wait... they already are....
But anyways, thats just the humble opinion of the Shadow

2,000 posts was way too much for the final level and such. I think 1,000 is enough. And if someone is 'so' bad at posting, they won't pass the test.

I hate the spamming and illiterate stuff too, don't get me wrong. I'm one ov the very few who also don't' have a million threads to get my post count higher, I play right.

Way too high post requirements and such just are not fair for people who actually play right and make decent posts.

I think that 250 posts should be enough to prove dedication to the site in question from a "good" member, so after their test they can continue on advancing and gaining power. As for those who would be considered a “bad” member, such as the people who simply spam to get their post count high; will probably fail their test again and again until they take the time to read the rules. Even if they only decide to refrain from spamming for their test, they would be known as a spammer and either failed outright or graded much harsher now that they would already have a bias placed against themselves.

For those who make their post count skyrocket by spamming, the rules don't apply. They can have uber-awesome pets and be all-powerful at at level one. They'll have 1409586309179067196719761781368136815125.4^241341.7 posts and still be level one, so it doesn't matter.

Honestly, I liked the higher post amounts when I think of the spammers and such.
But then when I think of myself, I don't like it.
1,000 seems a little low, but 2,000 seems a little high, lol.
I guess it just ends on a person's dedication to the site, and how much time they're willing to spend here. So, I guess for now it's fine.

[Verdan]

I think the current post counts are perfect for the non-spammer folk.

[Cain Ellatar]

Exactly, and for spammers, they would never pass the test, so overall things balance out. ^_^

[Verdan]

But spammers don't NEED tests because they just act like they're more powerful than level seven anyways. So it's all good.

Speaking of tests... WHERE THE HELL IS MURY??

[Muryllis]

Still trying to find my muse. I swear he's out on some curb in New York City, hammered beyond recognition. If you find him, give me a ring; the drunk ass is needed in other places, not just here.

-No random spamming, Verdan and Sparky

Well, if noobs are spamming and giving themselves overly godly powers, report them so they can be taken care of; I'm planning to get more mods for the board, so we should be fully-staffed soon.

As for you, Mury, those people need their tests. -_-

[Verdan]

I'm sorry. He started it.

[Sparky.]

Did not. You were talking about asses.


Oh, wait.. Here we go again..

Please, you two, learn how to respect the Administration.
Learn how to read and comprehend.
Are you any better than the fools who refuse to use spell check and grammar?

[Sparky.]

figures.

I wasn't going to reply anymore anyways, 'cause I -read- the warning.

Do you really feel the need to even police the out of character boards?

Cain already said stop, and I was.

So all your post did was start me posting again.

Funny how that works out o.O

Ah well. I'm going away for a few days anyways, so it doesn't really matter.

Just like this post. ^_^
