can any kind soul tell me my PPD?

0.16.


anybody for creating account in 06 and only getting on b.net for a few months at a time.


Also, has anyone thought that since i have a high priority prefix, and have been a member since 06, i would go to Heroic Easier? just wondered if anybody thought of those variables.

OMG? I have a higher title than burrito? *Faints*

In all seriousness, sorry to see you were banned.

  • 12.16.2009 8:14 PM PDT

Eh thanks... but I'm really not. In all honesty, I probably needed a little humility.
I'm not mad about being banned because Recon was just doing his thang (though I STILL have no idea what my ban message was supposed to mean). I'm just trying to find a nice copy and paste answer to all the PMs I keep getting about why I'm not Mythic anymore.

What about "GTFO, leave me alone!"?

Anyways, on-topic: if you got your topic flamed (meaning with 50+ posts) or had your topic pinned, does that improve your chances of getting a higher title?

Woops: topic meaning thread.

I don't think so. Since making a thread doesn't earn any more trust points than just posting, I would assume a thread with a lot of replies wouldn't make a difference either. I think if your topic got pinned you would earn a little more Trust Points.

I believe it would, it would, in a way of gaining more Trust Points from trust from the Moderators. More accountability on you from the Moderators means they trust you more, so naturally I would think that there would be more TP in it for you.

While I don't think making a hot topic would earn you more TP, I do think maybe getting a topic pinned, or having it become a Top Forum Topic might earn you some extra TP. Why do I say that a hot topic probably doesn't earn you anything? Well because it really doesn't if you think about it. I could go make a troll thread in the Flood, and get 100 replies in minutes. Why should my TP go up for spamming the forums and breaking the rules? The difference with Hot Topics, is that since they have so many replies, they have to have been noticed by the mods, and if they were rules breaking, they would have been locked a long time ago. Pinned topics, well considering a mod or an employee has to pin it, it's rather self explanatory.

Use the auto responder and set it to manual. That way when you get a question about your title, just hit auto respond.

Yet I hate the auto responder! It just seems so rude to do that to me. It's like saying, 'Yeah I hear you. Here's some generic answer now go away.'

I've got mine now.
Anywho, day later still member. Ah well. Taking all bets on how long it'll take to go up! (Psst, you guys an a-blam!-lilamilinize the whole process).

I doubt it. I'm probably the best example of this on the site. I have four top forum topics (I'm assuming by 'pinned' you mean top forum topic) in the Gallery forum, and one in the Universe forum. And yet look at my title. Granted, I was Heroic before a ban, but that's because I've been here over a year.

So, I doubt it, but it's possible.

Well, you're Legendary now after your short ban. I however, got a three day ban as well but I got unbanned because it was unfair. But I'm still a Member, is it all really because I unlinked my gamertag? Sucks, I was going to link it back with another but it wasn't an adult account so I have to wait 1 years and a month. :P

You can just link a silver account. I'm fairly sure it has the same effect. I do know it does add a pretty significant amount of trust. Someone who was constantly Heroic finally linked an account and changed to Legendary.

I remember you got banned, and that was a pretty long time ago. Especially considering it was only a 3 day ban, I'm surprised you haven't returned to at least Heroic.

On an unrelated note, I noticed (and I think this was mentioned a few pages back) someone who was shown as a Noble Member on the forums, but on his profile page he was a Noble Heroic Member. So I guess your profile page shows it first.

Sometimes if the person is an OP, and posted elsewhere in the thread, the OP gets it first. It's kinda odd with tht though.

Well, you got your legendary title back. That's a start.

  • 12.17.2009 7:13 AM PDT

Yeah I was about to post that.
It's no Blue, but it'll do. Honestly while I don't really care that much about the title bars... the brighter color makes it way easier for me to find my posts. So I'm hapy I've got this bar back I suppose.
If this helps you guys wondering about the system:
Mythic Member, consistently, since June- first gained the title January 4th, 2009.
PPD average was around 40.
3 day ban December 13th 2009, 7:04 PM PST.
Ban ended December 16th 2009, 7:04 PST
Received 55 PMs in these three days.
3 threads made in private groups- one hot topic.
When unbanned, was a member (no prefix) until the time in the next line.
Legendary title regained, along with 'Fabled' Prefix (no Exalted evr now, haha) sometime between 5:00 AM PST and 7:13 AM PST.

That is very detailed. I figure you will get your blue back here soon (TM).

55 messages, I didn't know you were that popular.

You got Legendary pretty fast though.

I'm guessing that is because the system just "refreshed." I noticed quite a few people go up at the same time, and some people probably went down as well.

When it refreshed it saw there was no longer the huge negative trust from being banned, and calculated his trust. He still has a negative bonus because of his recent ban, but even after that he already had enough trust to make him a Legendary member.
