i know that achronos is in charge of the ratings system, but i wonder if he devised the mechanism from scratch. if so, then he must be pretty darn good with stats, and he must be VERY patient to fiddle with values to get things to work as desired.

also, i wonder if my title will change if the Canes beat the Hokies tonight and if achronos knows that i am walking out the door now to watch the game.
Achronos is always watching.

It was more of a double take but yeah. I should have Veteran.


So what would class as 'Veteran'. 2 years? 3 Years?

Or is it classified?


I would say Veteran is more than 2 years because I am noble and have been here for 2 years...But I'm probably wrong..


EDIT:Did a little bit of looking and turns out I am COMPLETELY wrong =/......again =(

Just from glancing at titles I'd say around 4 years.

Just curious, but are warnings just little posts from mods? Or they do they physically go and type a name into a system saying they've been warned? Also, check my other question if you can ^.^ Thanks!

How discerning. I would have preferred something with negative connotations.

What about prefixes on Theme Masters and Webcam MVP's? Is it just the same prefixes as the prefixes for your title bar color rank?


so far those ranks remain the same
What do you mean? Did you check SJ's and SS's rank?


SJ and SS care to elaborate?

i use names not initials

No signature found. Click here to change this.

I think this sytem will be a little better toward the common user. Instead of worrying about the high leap from member to Heroic Member, it will give us smaller steps to work on. It will take some time for me to get used to, but I'm liking the process nonetheless.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Hm, interesting. One warning, and one ban, been here since April, and still a member. These new titles will still be just as shrouded in mystery and given to undeserving as before.

Next up- custom sigs that appear at the bottom of posts, and not under the member profile/drop-down arrow.

You basically get a PM saying you've been warned...I've gotten one in two years and it made me sad....it was like 2 weeks ago =(

I'm saying every account with a veteran label I've seen so far has been here for 4 years or more, not that being here 4 years or more automatically gives you a veteran label.

Is the amount of trouble you've gotten yourself in the only factor in determining trust?

If so, I've dug myself into one heck of a hole.
